September 15, 2024 at 11:26 pmShe started just before her 1st Birthday upstairs in Bombos and has grown up through all of the rooms here. The team is incredible here they are compassionate, supportive, and fair in everything they do. My daughter built trust with all team members, and has learned many life skills and made so many friends too. I am so grateful to Everyone there including a very supportive manager, kitchen team, and cleaners! I will miss them all but we are onto our next chapter. I could not suggest this place enough! My daughter finished Pre-School today in the Buzz room!

October 8, 2024 at 5:58 pmShe has made lots of friendships, consistently talks about the team and asks when she can come again. Her behaviour, manners and skills have improved whilst coming to Busy Bees at Derby and we can’t wait for our daughter who will be arriving in September to be part of the Busy Bees team! My daughter has loved coming to childcare centre with Busy Bees at Derby.

October 9, 2024 at 2:37 amGarden is very great equipped, however, I know my kid would benefit from other activities sometimes like trip to the park, library etc. just to give him more variety. Management is supportive and consistently ready to give assistance and advice. I’m positive that my son benefits from attending the childcare centre and I know that he is in great hands. I am very cheerful with the childcare provided to my son, discovering activities are of the high standard, team are very attentive and make excellent bond with him.

The childcare centre are consistently keeping me up to date on how his day is through the new app which is excellent! My little boy has been going to this childcare centre for 4 months now since I started back at work and they have been incredible.

January 9, 2025 at 3:38 pmThe team are very attentive and I sense confident in knowing that she’ll be well cared for when I drop her off in the morning. It’s a very welcoming setting and I would suggest it to any parent. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees since she was 2 and she loves it.

March 19, 2025 at 3:30 amThey have kept us in the loop whilst they were closed and upon opening they were excellent with all the kids. My son was very nervous about having his temp taken but they didn’t rush him and made him sense at ease. They have been incredible throughout his years there and made him comfortable about going and he loves it. During lockdown they have been incredible.

The way the team have adjusted in the current Covid-19 times has been a credit to them, they have ensured that our kids sense comfortable and cheerful, whilst being kept as secure as possible. They have recently launched a new app which is remarkable, with updates throughout the day including meals, activities, photos and observations all populated. We cannot suggest this childcare centre highly enough! We have been really pleased with the childcare centre!

March 28, 2025 at 7:31 amAlthough I haven’t seen inside for obvious reasons, I trust the team are keeping standards to keep the kids secure. My daughter has really enjoyed being back and if she is cheerful – we are cheerful. The team have been incredible upon my daughter’s return.

March 29, 2025 at 9:38 pmWe have received numerous communications throughout the year keeping us informed. The launch of the app has been incredible to continue engaging my kids even when childcare centre has been closed, and even more recently with the parent launch. You sense constantly connected to your kid even when they aren’t with you. The measures they have put in place through 2020 are over and above what would have been expected under the current circumstances and only cements what a excellent group of nurseries they are.
My kids have been attending this Busy Bees childcare centre for over 3-years, and I really wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. The manager and her team are incredible. The childcare centre has been incredible throughout 2020 with the way they have handled the pandemic.

April 6, 2025 at 2:27 pmThe team have been in the setting for years, they are passionate and you can tell their role as a key worker is important. They will send discovering home to engage parents with their kids’s development. My little boy loved coming and has made friendships he will continue with at school. Well done to the whole team and management team. My little boy attended this setting and I cannot thank of anything negative.

April 22, 2025 at 2:22 pmMy kids adore their days at Busy Bees and have excellent relationships with their keyworkers. My three-year-old daughter has been recently discovering about the human body with the team and they know about the heart after the activity the team did with her. I was very impressed. Fabulous childcare centre.

May 21, 2025 at 9:58 amAt every different stage, his needs have been met. team are welcoming and accommodating, and he has made some fantastic friends. During the covid19 pandemic, the childcare centre reopening has been organised in an efficient manner, and parents have been well informed throughout. Two weekly newsletters have been useful for detailing what our ‘littles’ have been up to and who they’ve been playing with as parents aren’t able to see for themselves. My son has been with this childcare centre since he was 10-months old (he is now three).

May 23, 2025 at 5:09 pmDuring the pandemic they have demonstrated hard work, they consistently keep us up to date with news and have recently introduced an app where I can see my kid’s progression and what she has been doing. yesterday they celebrated World Book Day and while waiting in the queue it was fantastic to see all the kids’s excited faces as they saw what their friends were wearing. The childcare centre consistently ensures the kids are cheerful. Keep up the great work. This childcare centre is absolutely remarkable.

June 13, 2025 at 6:09 pmHe has consistently been very excited to attend, consistently leaving with a smile. The team are all very welcoming and have consistently kept us involved and informed with my son’s discovering journey. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. We have found my son’s journey at Busy Bees to be a enjoyable and cheerful one.

June 15, 2025 at 5:29 amI can not suggest this childcare centre enough.
Firstly they supported me in getting a routine together, which kept me sane and not sleep deprived ( I work full time) constantly giving me tips and advice for each next step I encountered.
I can honestly say without Busy Bees Oakwood life would have been a little harder.
Most importantly my son has been consistently cheerful and content with all his childcare centre mummies. He is thriving developmentally and emotionally in pre-school.
Thank you to all the team! My son has been at Busy Bees Oakwood since he was 6 months old.

July 1, 2025 at 4:07 pmWithin 3 weeks she felt right at home!! She absolutely loves childcare centre and every one of her educators. All the team have made my daughter and myself very welcome. I can not thank the team enough! To all the team at Busy Bees Thank You. When my daughter first started childcare centre she was very unsettled and straight away the team were very reassuring that she would be ok and settle in eventually.
