October 4, 2024 at 11:27 amThe premises are well maintained and the garden/outdoor space is perfect. We currently have our 2nd youngster attending, so have got to know them all truly well. The low personnel turnover speaks volumes for this setting. The team at Manton Lane are brilliant, welcoming, knowledgeable and always extremely welcoming.

October 7, 2024 at 10:35 pmMy boy has been attending the nursery setting for two weeks now and I am extremely pleased. His key worker is so kind, encouraging and extremely attentive. The personnel are great with my young lad, who seems extremely pleased, and they are exceptionally good at updating the app. Thank you all for showing my little one kindness. Much more organised, and it’s nice to see crew with period. I feel extremely content knowing that he is in great hands.

October 16, 2024 at 1:04 amDue to Covid restrictions, it is hard to know details of issues such as cleanliness, recourse, etc, but I do know my young lady is delighted at Busy Bees. If anyone asked me, I would suggest the nursery setting to other parents. She comes out thrilled and singing, she likes her food, has her nappy changed regularly, and I get lots of lovely photos from her day. The crew are welcoming, and her room workers seem to have a good report with her.

October 20, 2024 at 5:35 pmThe early‑years hub is really lovely. My niece went here so when it came to looking for our boy, we knew he would be well looked after. It comes in really handy that I also work next door.

October 23, 2024 at 12:31 amMy youngster enjoys going to early‑years hub and the crew are incredible. I feel she is looked after extremely well and they have helped her progress massively.

October 27, 2024 at 12:49 pmThey have been exceptionally well cared for, looked after and the manager and her team have become family. Thank you for all the best childcare for 15 years. All my 4 little ones have gone to Busy Bees here in Bedford. One of the proudest things my youngster has achieved is his ability to recognise and write his name! The boys have always had fun and talked about their friends and the activities they have done. My youngest is now leaving preschool truly ready for his next adventure at reception in school.

November 4, 2024 at 10:20 amAny concerns have been dealt with in a accommodating and helpful manner by crew. My only concern would be mistakes with invoicing that do continue to happen. My youngster has always been pleased to join this childcare centre.

November 21, 2024 at 2:30 pmThe crew are accommodating and cordial making it the perfect setting to drop off and leave your kid. They have tailored the exploring to the interest of the little ones and my little one comes home excited to tell us about his day. He has grown in confidence and they have helped improve his eating, especially the trying of new food. Busy Bees Manton Lane has been paramount in the advancement of our youngster. Thank you for it all.

December 8, 2024 at 4:41 pmThe variety of activities and toys/equipment is good and she does not get bored. I have and would endorse this early‑years hub to others. There was good correspondence between the key workers and us parents. She seems to have made nice friends as she talks about them at home. My girl has been attending this childcare centre since she was ten months old and she will be four next month. Her growth has been supported and encouraged at her pace. Through the different age rooms, she has been extremely delighted and well cared for.

December 30, 2024 at 1:00 amThe childcare centre is kept exceptionally hygienic and the garden is fantastic. We have two little ones currently with the nursery setting, one in preschool and one in babies. The childcare centre also did a brilliant job with the current pandemic. The best part is the team, everyone is really welcoming and knowledgeable and clearly enjoy working with kids. Both absolutely treasure the place.

December 30, 2024 at 1:48 amMy little one is so delighted when I collect him and he talks about the day and what he’s done. We are so pleased that he’s settled in and is clearly exceptionally thrilled. He mentions his key people even during the weekend. We are still going through potty training and having help during school time, whilst the advancement is slow it’s helping no end. My little one is so thrilled, he waits at the front door every morning and sings all the way in.

January 30, 2025 at 9:16 amThe fees are standard for the area. Highly suggest. I have never had a single concern at this early‑years hub about her support, she always comes home immaculate (well as spotless as any 2.5-year-old can be) fed and pleased and any toilet accidents she has had, she has been helped with. She was truly shaken by the move and the team at Busy Bees were wonderful with her, she settled within a few weeks and absolutely adores her days at childcare centre. The app is great and keeps us up to date with what she has eaten and how she has slept. Three other crew members, in particular, are also so great with my young lady and the manager has always been exceptionally accommodating and really accommodating of any changes we have made. My young lady started at Busy Bees after an international move which brought us to Bedford. Her key worker is fun and loving and my little one talks about her lots at home. There is a great outdoor area as well for outside time and the meals are balanced.

April 17, 2025 at 2:48 pmAs always fab service provided by the personnel. I would like more photo’s on the app though as I treasure seeing what they do. Always encourage exploring and growth as well as there to assistance when a kid is upset or in need of cuddles. Our girl enjoys attending and continues to role games at home with the team (she has telephone conversations on her mobile at home) I also really appreciate the varied and nutritious meals served, encouraging new tastes and textures.

April 17, 2025 at 8:40 pmI was worried how my little one would settle back into early‑years hub but the team have been fantastic and she has cherished every minute. I even increased her days as she is thriving at childcare centre. Her key worker always communicates any feedback with us regularly, she is remarkable. All team are welcoming and kind and they always go the extra mile to ensure my little one is thrilled and to put my mind at ease.

April 26, 2025 at 1:03 amThe crew always take such good attention of her and it shows in the way she is always pleased when I drop her off and collect her. She has learnt so much in the short time she has been there and they are always encouraging her, which is great. I’m extremely pleased with the care my girl has received to date.
Zoe Williams
April 29, 2025 at 12:05 amMy girl started early‑years hub back in January 2020 when she has just turned one. She has learnt so much so far, she adores all the activities, especially the ones involving colouring and music. The crew are lovely and has been so accommodating, which really helps us. Would suggest this childcare centre, feel totally at ease leaving her there knowing that she’s really been taken care of. She enjoys going into nursery setting in the morning, she gets so excited and this shows how great the childcare centre is.

May 3, 2025 at 4:02 amWe also treasure all the updates we receive on the parent zone app. We have seen a big difference in our little one since he started nursery setting, he treasures attending and often wants to of back in once we collect him. All the team have been extremely polite and welcoming. Thank you so much. He is more assured in starting to speak sharing when playing and socialising with other little ones.
Olivia Adams
May 16, 2025 at 11:07 pmAll the personnel have been incredible and we really got to know everyone over the prior three years (even with the pandemic!). He’s made so many friends and he treasures his early‑years hub nurses too. We will be unhappy to leave this remarkable place (relocating), because no other childcare centre compares to this one! When I was looking for a nursery setting for my boy, three years ago, I took an instant like to Busy Bees (Manton Lane), when I visited it and we have enjoyed the childcare centre ever since. Our little one feels like he is at home there. I don’t think he’s ever had a bad day there!
Owen Baker
June 4, 2025 at 3:43 amYou know what your little one is up to, what they’ve eaten if they’ve napped etc, along with pictures! Updates through the app are incredible! My boy started in January and was 14 months old, he does 3 days a week and seems to have settled in really well. I would endorse Busy Bees, Bedford. It wasn’t long before we had no tears in the mornings and he would reach out for his key worker.
