September 26, 2024 at 2:40 amWe never have tears or tantrums going because he’s cheerful to be going in. He eats a wide range of foods and is engaged in lots of different activities (including messy ones I’d probably avoid at home!) and generally seems to have a lovely time. The updates on the app are really useful and we generally get a great handover each day. My son has been attending Busy Bees, Prestbury Road since October 2021 and absolutely loves it.

October 3, 2024 at 1:02 amOur daughter loves her days there. They seem to arrange a broad range of activities for the kids and we are really cheerful with how they are supporting our daughter’s development. The team at Busy Bees are fantastic.

October 15, 2024 at 3:40 pmAs soon as we get to childcare centre, he can’t get through the door fast enough! The team are very welcoming and attentive, putting parents at ease when leaving little ones. Throughout the day we have received updates on what he’s been eating and doing, which is absolutely exceptional. Pictures of the activities he has been taking part in are also sent, so we don’t miss out on what he has been up to during the day. We would both very much suggest Busy Bees at Prestbury, to prospective families. Our little boy absolutely loves going to Busy Bees.

December 10, 2024 at 3:51 amOur kid attends preschool and we have not hesitated in recommending it to others looking for a nurturing setting with varied and enjoyable activities and led by team who genuinely care for and understand the kids they look after. We especially like the fact the childcare centre is small enough for the team to get to know the parents and kids really well. Couldn’t be happier with our journey so far! Since first visiting the childcare centre, we were struck by the incredibly welcoming and passionate team as well as the spotless and well-thought-out spaces which seem perfectly designed for all the different age groups.

January 6, 2025 at 3:16 amBoth of our kids attended Prestbury Road and loved it. The facilities are excellent and we liked that there was an emphasis on spending as much time outside as possible. The meals are nutritious, varied and (I’m reliably informed) very tasty. The setting in a bungalow feels homey and I think it helped our kids to sense comfortable and settled. The team are incredible – all clearly genuinely care about the kids they look after. Our kids have left childcare centre as confident, school-ready little people and we would definitely suggest it to other parents. Remarkable childcare centre!

January 18, 2025 at 5:37 amShe’s consistently excited to go into childcare centre in the morning and see the team.
Positives:
– really lovely team who genuinely care about her well-being and enjoyment
– generally, a great variety of foods to keep her trying new things
– lots of playtime in the garden
– team are responsive to parental requests for assistance, e.g. role-playing something at childcare centre that the kid may be struggling with at home.
– outstanding daily summary via the app, plus an in-person handover at pick-up.
Could be better:
– indoor space is used well but is relatively small therefore there are very few gross-motor physical development toys e.g steps, ramps, tunnels
– some of the kids’s rooms have to be used as transit to other rooms, therefore you have parents of other age groups walking through the room, including during nap time. Our daughter has attended the childcare centre since she was 9 months old and we’re cheerful with how she’s developing there.

January 26, 2025 at 7:29 pmI like that it’s not too big, feels like the team all get to know the parents and kids very well. My daughter has been coming for 2 years, she loves her educators and has made some excellent little friends too. The key team in the rooms work very hard to make the environments enjoyable and engaging, they take excellent care of the kids, and get to know their individual personalities. My daughter is now in the pre-school room, getting ready for school in September!! The team are providing a excellent nurturing mix of early discovering education along with all sorts of activities including role playtime, great old messy playtime and running about in the garden, weather permitting! The cooks are firm favourites too and she loves almost all the food, I’m often envious myself! The parent app is also handy with regular updates on meal times, discovering snapshots & photo’s of activities. I’m so cheerful with the whole journey. This is a lovely childcare centre with dedicated team who are welcoming and welcoming.

February 15, 2025 at 6:30 pmHe comes back home with a massive smile on his face. He loves all the food (requests doubles) and he has established incredible relationships with all the team, but has an extra special bond with the room manager. I just want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you, to you all. My little treasure joined this childcare centre when he was 9 months old and I can see how much he loves it.

February 16, 2025 at 6:19 pmThey really delight in the activities and like all the team. We think the app is exceptional, as we can keep up with what the boys are doing throughout the day and see pictures. The team keep us updated if there are ever any minor accidents or issues, so we know the boys are in secure hands. It’s a remarkable childcare centre and I would suggest it to other parents. Our boys absolutely adore it at childcare centre!

March 3, 2025 at 9:45 amHe is cheerful to go and tells me all about his time and the enjoyable he’s had. The team are consistently supportive and welcoming. He has made many friends and enjoys it there. Thanks! My kid has attended Busy Bees Cheltenham Prestbury Road in the preschool room and loves it.
Robin Marsh
March 11, 2025 at 5:07 pmThe updates and team are incredible. Really supportive to my boys’ development and well being. One of my boys’ is a very fussy eater and they accommodate him well Would highly suggest. Both my kids attend Busy Bees Prestbury Road and absolutely adore it.

March 22, 2025 at 1:22 amMy daughter has consistently struggled to settle but since coming here she absolutely loves it, it’s so welcoming she loves all her educators. It’s been a breath of fresh air since we started here. Highly recommended. The team are so excellent with the kids.

April 21, 2025 at 2:19 amMy son has attended since July ‘20 and in the past year, he has grown into a confident and chatty little boy. The team are so compassionate and welcoming, I have consistently felt cheerful leaving him in their care. There are a lot of nurseries to choose from in Cheltenham – I know we made the right choice with Busy Bees. This is a fantastic childcare centre!
Sidney Griffin
May 1, 2025 at 6:11 amMy boy regularly disappears into the childcare centre without looking back when I drop him off, such is his excitement to be there!
The team are very cheerful and attentive. The activities are varied and my kid often tells me what he has been doing. He often comes back very chatty with a big smile on his face. I also want to add that they are highly organised and taking strong measures/precautions against Covid.
Overall I am extremely cheerful with the childcare centre and I would suggest to any family or friend. A remarkable childcare centre, so cosy and home like.

May 15, 2025 at 3:40 pmHe has bonded with team and kids, doesn’t look back when he goes in and comes home cheerful and enthused by his day. It’s clear that team care deeply about their childcare centre and the kids. We are kept as well informed as possible under current circumstances and can see that improvements are being put in place to make this even better. The range of activities seems great and the food varied. Our son’s development has clearly benefited from his time at childcare centre. Our son is very cheerful here.

May 25, 2025 at 6:26 pmAll the team from the cook to the management are all so inviting and welcoming. The childcare centre team are so creative in finding different ways for the kids to explore and learn through sensory playtime. The rooms are all so lovely, when I looked around I loved how they were all set up with the kids in mind. The baby room, where my son is, allows for babies to cruise around the room safely and all toys are accessible for them to explore independently. The gardens and outside space is massive and secure, excellent for outdoor playtime. My baby is consistently smiling when he goes into childcare centre and is full of beans and cheerful when I collect him. They take excellent care of my baby son, which makes me cheerful when I drop him off, that I know he is well looked after. The team were all so reassuring when my son first started and couldn’t accommodate us enough, which made going back to work so much easier. Thank you, Prestbury Road. Prestbury Road Childcare centre is remarkable.

May 31, 2025 at 3:29 amOur son is really enjoying lots of new experiences and adventures within the grounds and I’m sure he’ll adore the upcoming sports day event. Our son loves to eat a range of food that they provide. It’s easy with the diary to see what he is getting up to and what he does each time he is at childcare centre. We are really grateful for the time they help in nurturing and supporting our son. All of the Busy Bees team have been absolutely fantastic at getting things back to normal after covid, for both us and our son.
Sidney Hunter
July 2, 2025 at 3:23 pmAll the team members I have encountered have been very welcoming and expert and the childcare centre workers in the preschool section are so polite and enthusiastic. My daughter has been made to sense so welcome and the managers have been very supportive in sorting out the admin and transition of fees, etc. Would highly suggest. My 3-year-old switched nurseries in December 2020 to this one and I can honestly say it’s been such a smooth transition.
