Busy Bees Chesterfield Barlborough

After searching the area for a nursery, I decided upon Busy Bees at Chesterfield Barlborough, for one simple reason, the people. From the minute I walked into that door, I felt like I was with friends. The staff are by far the stand out of this nursery and two years down the line, I believe that statement even more so. Four particular members of the team are a wonderful group of people. I mention these particular four because they have been fundamental in my daughter’s nursery care but every single one of them deserve a mention. I also want to mention that these guys have been absolute heroes during the pandemic, not a day where you are not greeted with a smile despite the potential risk they are facing being key workers. I want to finish by saying when my little one first started she was clinging to me not to leave, now she leaps out of the car and straight to the door or cones if there is a queue because she loves it that much. Busy Bees at Chesterfield Barlborough you are the best. Thank you!

I haven’t got a bad word to say about this nursery. My eldest son started here at nine months old, after I returned to work. As a first time mother I was a rabbit in the headlights but the manager and two other staff members seemed to take the lead in settling my nerves and ensuring my son was one hundred percent happy. From there, he has moved up rooms twice, with his age and development’s he has progressed so well and we couldn’t be happier with the support we are given. He is now two years old and with one particular member of staff’s help, he is progressing into a well rounded toddler. We will be sending our youngest son to the nursery once I am back at work and have no doubts he will be happy and looked after so well!

My son has attended Busy Bees Nursery in Barlborough since I returned to work after maternity leave in April 2020. It was daunting as a first time mum trusting others with the littlest love of my life but it is a decision I will never regret. He has flourished and grown under their care and the relationships he has made with both staff and other children will last a lifetime. The nursery has just had a garden refurb which is incredible and gives the children the opportunity to be wild and free but they also dedicate time to learning and helping development progression. My son has been lucky to spend time in all rooms available and all have devoted time and love towards him. I will forever be grateful and will be sad when he graduates this year and goes to primary school in September.

I cannot fault this nursery at all. Brilliant communication and fantastic staff.
I feel 100% at ease leaving my son here.
Brilliant food and facilities.
The nursery seems to be constantly improving. For example, recently the garden has been improved. My boy absolutely loves this facility.
I wouldn’t have my boy anywhere else!
My boy loves the staff and I love receiving the photo updates of what he is up to.
Thank you!

Both my boys love it at Busy Bees and have been going since they were both 6 months old!
I have seen such development with both my boys in confidence, speaking, multiple skills and my eldest who is 3 years old, his numeracy skills are coming along amazingly. I have no doubt Busy Bees will prepare him well for school in September!
Busy Bees have also been really great and flexible working around my partner’s job as she works shifts which is extremely helpful!
I would definitely recommend Busy Bees to anyone and will continue to use them in the future.
Thank you!

Busy Bees, Barlborough is an absolutely fantastic nursery and I honestly cannot thank the staff enough for the care, support and education they provide for my children. I feel completely at ease dropping my children off, as I know the care they receive is exemplary.
My daughter joined Busy Bees in March 2021 when she was 11 months old, the nursery was the first one we approached and we felt we didn’t need to look around as we were so impressed with the initial meeting. The way the COVID situation was handled at Busy Bees, Barlborough was so thoroughly thought out, ensuring safety for both children and staff.
Our son started with the nursery at the beginning of this year, at 6 months old, something we were nervous about due to his young age. The staff in the baby room are absolutely outstanding and we cannot give them enough praise for how they have helped him settle in.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent, your children will be so happy and absolutely thrive here!

Both my little ones attend Busy Bees and it’s absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredible and they 100% treat the children like they’re their own, which is really reassuring because you know your little ones are in great hands. The facilities are great and both of my little ones love it there – most days they don’t want to leave! Would very highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Busy Bees Nursery for your child, the nursery and staff are incredible. Both my daughter (now at school) and baby (10 months) attend weekly. I would like to give a special mention to my son’s key worker, she is fantastic and goes above and beyond what is expected within her role. She puts me at ease and is very informative on collection. The app which is used at the nursery is perfect for me as I am able to receive notifications throughout the day on what my son has been doing.

My son has been attending Busy Bees since January 2022. The thought of leaving him at first was scary, but from the initial meeting and the settling-in days I knew straight away he was going to be OK and so would I. Busy Bees is a great nursery which I would 100% recommend to anyone. The staff are lovely and friendly, the communication is brilliant and the daily updates are great to see when I’m at work. Since day one all the staff in his rooms have been great, and his key workers have been fantastic with him and he can’t wait to get there to see them! He’s thrived since he started and I can’t thank everyone enough for everything.

Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery! We have used them for the last 4 years and the staff have always been fantastic. It is a lovely, clean setting with lots of different things to engage the children which are changed on a regular basis. Everyone always has a smile and are always willing to help in any way that they can. Both my daughters love it there. I think it has done wonders for their confidence and they have learnt so much. 100% would recommend to anyone.
