August 24, 2020 at 12:00 amThe staff have been amazing upon my daughter’s return. Although I haven’t seen inside for obvious reasons, I trust the staff are keeping standards to keep the children safe. My daughter has really enjoyed being back and if she is happy – we are happy.

August 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI am very happy with the childcare provided to my son, learning activities are of the high standard, staff are very caring and make great bond with him. Garden is very good equipped, however, I know my child would benefit from other activities sometimes like trip to the park, library etc. just to give him more variety. Management is helpful and always ready to give support and advice. I’m positive that my son benefits from attending the nursery and I know that he is in good hands.

September 4, 2020 at 12:00 amDuring lockdown they have been amazing. They have kept us in the loop whilst they were closed and upon opening they were great with all the children. My son was very nervous about having his temp taken but they didn’t rush him and made him feel at ease. They have been amazing throughout his years there and made him comfortable about going and he loves it.

September 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son adores the nursery and is always happy to go. He has learned so many new skills since attending. Knowing he is happy is so reassuring in these uncertain times.

September 4, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has been with this nursery since he was 10-months old (he is now three). At every different stage, his needs have been met. Staff are friendly and accommodating, and he has made some wonderful friends. During the covid19 pandemic, the nursery 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.

September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amFabulous nursery. My children love their days at Busy Bees and have great relationships with their keyworkers. My three-year-old daughter has been recently learning about the human body with the staff and they know about the heart after the activity the staff did with her. I was very impressed.

September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have found my son’s experience at Busy Bees to be a fun and happy one. He has always been very excited to attend, always leaving with a smile. The staff are all very friendly and have always kept us involved and informed with my son’s learning experience. I would highly recommend this nursery.

September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has loved coming to nursery with Busy Bees at Derby. She has made lots of friendships, always talks about the staff 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!

September 29, 2020 at 12:00 amWhen my daughter first started nursery she was very unsettled and straight away the staff were very reassuring that she would be ok and settle in eventually. Within 3 weeks she felt right at home!! She absolutely loves nursery and every one of her teachers. All the staff have made my daughter and myself very welcome. I can not thank the team enough! To all the team at Busy Bees Thank You.

December 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Busy Bees since she was 2 and she loves it. The staff are very attentive and I feel confident in knowing that she’ll be well cared for when I drop her off in the morning. It’s a very welcoming environment and I would recommend it to any parent.

December 30, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery has been amazing throughout 2020 with the way they have handled the pandemic. We have received numerous communications throughout the year keeping us informed. The launch of the app has been amazing to continue engaging my children even when nursery has been closed, and even more recently with the parent launch. You feel constantly connected to your child 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 great group of nurseries they are.
My children have been attending this Busy Bees nursery for over 3-years, and I really wouldn’t send my children anywhere else. The manager and her team are amazing.

March 24, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have been really pleased with the nursery! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our two daughters love it here and their development has really excelled. The way the staff have adjusted in the current Covid-19 times has been a credit to them, they have ensured that our children feel comfortable and happy, whilst being kept as safe as possible. They have recently launched a new app which is fantastic, with updates throughout the day including meals, activities, photos and observations all populated. We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

April 8, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been going to this nursery for 4 months now since I started back at work and they have been amazing. My little boy loves going. Goes in with a smile and comes back out with a smile. The nursery are always keeping me up to date on how his day is through the new app which is great!

April 9, 2021 at 12:00 amThis nursery is absolutely fantastic. During the pandemic they have demonstrated hard work, they always keep us up to date with news and have recently introduced an app where I can see my child’s progression and what she has been doing. yesterday they celebrated World Book Day and while waiting in the queue it was wonderful to see all the children’s excited faces as they saw what their friends were wearing. The nursery always ensures the children are happy. Keep up the good work.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little boy attended this setting and I cannot thank of anything negative. The staff 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 learning home to engage parents with their children’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.

July 23, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Busy Bees Oakwood since he was 6 months old. I can not recommend this nursery 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 happy and content with all his nursery mummies. He is thriving developmentally and emotionally in pre-school.
Thank you to all the team!

August 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter finished Pre-School today in the Buzz room! She started just before her 1st Birthday upstairs in Bombos and has grown up through all of the rooms here. The team is amazing here they are kind, supportive, and fair in everything they do. My daughter built trust with all staff members, and has learned many life skills and made so many friends too. I am so grateful to Everyone there including a very helpful manager, kitchen staff, and cleaners! I will miss them all but we are onto our next chapter. I could not recommend this place enough!
