September 8, 2024 at 9:26 amI sense at ease leaving him in their care and I am confident that he is well looked after and has a lot of enjoyable. The team made his transition into childcare centre very comfortable, they are understanding and go at your pace. He has learnt so much at childcare centre and made a lot of friends, it is easy to see that he has a lot of enjoyable from the pictures posted on the app and things he brings home. The parent app has been a exceptional new addition to childcare centre life as I get updates throughout the day on what he has had to eat, how much sleep he has had and pictures of what he has been playing with. This is a excellent childcare centre and I would suggest it to anyone. My son has been attending this childcare centre for just over a year now and I have to say the team are outstanding.

September 21, 2024 at 11:43 amMy son has been going almost 3 years and loves it and his younger brother will be going later in the year. All the team are very attentive and enthusiastic about what they do and I cannot fault anything. The food is varied, I know he is eating well when he is there and he is discovering an enormous amount. The building is well maintained and they have just had the outdoor playtime areas entirely refurbished. I would highly suggest Busy Bees at Barlborough.

September 26, 2024 at 10:39 pmBeing a covid baby he wasn’t used to strangers at all, this made it a very hard time for me and him when coming to separating from each other, the childcare centre kept me up to date with how he was every day. Nothing is ever too much for the team there.
They use an app, so you can follow as much as you want or not, from knowing about nappy, naps, food, playtime and the photos you get of your little one playing and discovering is just excellent. You can have a chat with your kid’s key person every day when you collect them as well.
Everyone in the childcare centre knows every kid’s name, no matter which room they are in. It amazes me! They have recently had the garden redone and it’s such a fantastic secure outdoor space for the kids. Knowing that my boy has the outdoor space is just another added bonus.
He has learnt so much while at childcare centre. I really believe it’s helped him grow in self‑assurance and the speed of discovering things. My son has been attending this childcare centre since he was around 9 months old.

October 8, 2024 at 6:18 amMy 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 team members seemed to take the lead in settling my nerves and ensuring my son was one hundred percent cheerful. 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 assistance we are given. He is now two years old and with one particular member of team’s help, he is progressing into a well rounded toddler. We will be sending our youngest son to the childcare centre once I am back at work and have no doubts he will be cheerful and looked after so well! I haven’t got a bad word to say about this childcare centre.

November 3, 2024 at 12:24 pmFrom the minute I walked into that door, I felt like I was with friends. The team are by far the stand out of this childcare centre and two years down the line, I believe that statement even more so. Four particular members of the team are a fantastic group of people. I mention these particular four because they have been fundamental in my daughter’s childcare centre 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! After searching the area for a childcare centre, I decided upon Busy Bees at Chesterfield Barlborough, for one simple reason, the people.

November 5, 2024 at 9:30 pmI sense completely at ease dropping my kids 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 childcare centre 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 kids and team.
Our son started with the childcare centre at the beginning of this year, at 6 months old, something we were nervous about due to his young age. The team in the baby room are absolutely outstanding and we cannot give them enough praise for how they have helped him settle in.
I would suggest this childcare centre to any parent, your kids will be so cheerful and absolutely thrive here! Busy Bees, Barlborough is an absolutely remarkable childcare centre and I honestly cannot thank the team enough for the care, assistance and education they provide for my kids.

I sense 100% at ease leaving my son here.
exceptional food and facilities.
The childcare centre 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 team and I adore receiving the photo updates of what he is up to.
Thank you! I cannot fault this childcare centre at all.

November 23, 2024 at 11:07 amThe childcare centre have been incredible with his allergies and eczema and have supported us throughout.
The app is so great to keep my mind at ease as it keeps me up-to-date throughout the day with what he is doing and eating, with pics and updates on his development.
I would highly suggest the childcare centre. My son absolutely loves going to childcare centre and has settled in so well since joining in January.

December 14, 2024 at 5:17 amteam are very expert and nothing is too much trouble. They’ve supported us with our daughter’s food allergies and even did daily exercises with her when physio recommended she needed them. I highly suggest them. My daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees, she’s been going since she was 9 months old and settled in straight away.

December 30, 2024 at 4:38 amBoth 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 remarkable 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 childcare centre is perfect for me as I am able to receive notifications throughout the day on what my son has been doing. I would highly suggest Busy Bees childcare centre for your kid, the childcare centre and team are incredible.

January 8, 2025 at 7:44 amThe team are so inviting and welcoming and have a excellent relationship with the kids they care for and the parents. Our kids adore coming here and know they are getting the best start in life and also getting them school ready. consistently doing lots of activities and creating awareness. The food is consistently freshly prepared on site and consistently smells delicious. Such an incredible place.

February 13, 2025 at 4:12 pmThey go over and above to reassure you and keep you up to date. My son started when he was one, he’s now three and is settled and cheerful. Initially, drop-offs at the childcare centre were tricky as my son would become upset. However, with the assistance of the team, he now smiles as he goes through the door. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and the manager is consistently on hand to answer questions. The team are doing such a fantastic job in these difficult and trying times.

April 5, 2025 at 10:35 amOur daughter has been going to Busy Bees since she was 10 months old, she is now 4 and ready to start her journey at big school in September. All her educators have been incredible! We are very cheerful with her development whilst being at childcare centre, in preparation for her joining school. The educators are passionate about their jobs, and there are a fair few that go above and beyond. We are very thankful and appreciate what they have done for our daughter. I never worry about leaving my kid in their hands! She loves going and spending time with her friends and educators. Thank you! Once again absolutely incredible childcare centre! Can’t suggest this childcare centre enough.

April 7, 2025 at 6:08 amMy son loves spending his days there and I can see him thriving there every day. All team members are really welcoming and attentive. I strongly suggest this childcare centre. An incredible childcare centre with really great facilities and a brand new outdoor playground.

April 16, 2025 at 3:03 pmWe have used them for the last 4 years and the team have consistently been remarkable. It is a lovely, spotless setting with lots of different things to engage the kids which are changed on a regular basis. Everyone consistently has a smile and are consistently willing to help in any way that they can. Both my daughters adore it there. I think it has done wonders for their self‑assurance and they have learnt so much. 100% would suggest to anyone. Busy Bees is a remarkable childcare centre!

May 1, 2025 at 2:47 pmIt was daunting as a first time mum trusting others with the littlest adore 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 team and other kids will last a lifetime. The childcare centre has just had a garden refurb which is incredible and gives the kids the opportunity to be wild and free but they also dedicate time to discovering and helping development progression. My son has been lucky to spend time in all rooms available and all have devoted time and adore towards him. I will forever be grateful and will be sad when he graduates this year and goes to primary school in September. My son has attended Busy Bees childcare centre in Barlborough since I returned to work after maternity leave in April 2020.

May 14, 2025 at 8:46 pmThe 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 excellent childcare centre which I would 100% suggest to anyone. The team are lovely and welcoming, the updates is exceptional and the daily updates are excellent to see when I’m at work. Since day one all the team in his rooms have been excellent, and his key workers have been remarkable 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. My son has been attending Busy Bees since January 2022.

May 22, 2025 at 12:40 amFor my eldest daughter, this is the second childcare centre she has been to and the Busy Bees, Barlborough’s standard is so much better than we had previously experienced. All the team are so exceptional and they sense like friends/family, nothing is too much trouble and they really make an effort with both the parents and the kids.
The team make the transition for kids so comfortable. When my kids have been upset they’ve offered for me to call throughout the day to check in on them, they’re consistently fine but it’s so nice that the team don’t mind the calls, they consistently give the impression that nothing is too much trouble.
team have also been doing a lot of fundraising for kids within the childcare centre and that’s excellent to see.
The childcare centre adds updates to the app regularly and you can see what the kids have been up to and eaten etc. It’s a really excellent childcare centre which I often suggest to neighbours and friends. Both my kids go to Busy Bees childcare centre.
Carter Turner
May 29, 2025 at 11:44 amI have no doubt Busy Bees will prepare him well for school in September!
Busy Bees have also been really excellent and flexible working around my partner’s job as she works shifts which is extremely supportive!
I would definitely suggest Busy Bees to anyone and will continue to use them in the future.
Thank you! Both my boys adore 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 self‑assurance, speaking, multiple skills and my eldest who is 3 years old, his numeracy skills are coming along amazingly.

June 7, 2025 at 1:58 amThe team are incredible and they 100% treat the kids like they’re their own, which is really reassuring because you know your little ones are in excellent hands. The facilities are excellent and both of my little ones adore it there – most days they don’t want to leave! Would very highly suggest. Both my little ones attend Busy Bees and it’s absolutely remarkable!
