September 2, 2024 at 12:17 pmOur son absolutely adores every single one of the team and I don’t think he could be in better hands. The facilities, the food, the activities are all excellent and our son has come on leaps and bounds since he started. We are so grateful and sense incredibly lucky that we can send our son here and would not hesitate to suggest them to others. The members of team at Busy Bees Farnborough Pyestock sense like an extension of our family.

The childcare centre is very spacious with lots of space and lovely gardens. They have also just started building a role playtime village in their activity hall which my daughter can’t wait to playtime in. We have been extremely cheerful with the care our daughter received.

October 3, 2024 at 11:26 amThe managerial and admin team are really accommodating and changes at short notice are usually sorted out with ease. The team look after the kids well and have developed remarkable attentive relationships with them. My kids are cheerful and settled here and come home cheerful and exhausted! Whilst more expensive than many of the other local nurseries personally I sense that this is outweighed by the flexibility and the purpose-built building and remarkable outside space. As the only childcare centre in the local area offering complete flexibility in terms of the days that my kids (4 and 1) attend each week, this was the logical choice for us as I work different shifts each week.

October 28, 2024 at 11:00 amI can say with certainty that he absolutely loves it there. They have been an invaluable assistance to us as first time parents and to our son. I would very much suggest this setting. Our son has been attending now for over 1 year.

December 6, 2024 at 3:34 pmSome team are absolutely remarkable with the kids and it’s clear that they adore working there.
The food provided is excellent and regular updates on the app are appreciated. Organised management that responds quickly to queries and are flexible and supportive.

January 15, 2025 at 12:21 pmHe is now three years old and has moved into their Preschool room. He has a close bond with his key worker and all the team in his room. At the end of the day, he proudly tells me what he has been doing and loves to show me the artwork he has created. The childcare centre has a remarkable menu with a wide variety of food on offer. It is fantastic to hear that my son has eaten well during the day. I asked my son if he likes the food at childcare centre and he replied: “yes it’s yummy in my tummy!” My son goes three days a week and often asks if today is a ‘childcare centre day’ when I reply that it is he says “yes” with a big smile on his face – what more could a mummy want! My son has attended Busy Bees since he was a baby.

January 31, 2025 at 3:18 pmShe is so well cared for and the range of activities available vary daily and are matched to her needs. We cannot fault the friendliness of the team and the care they give to her. Despite 12 weeks off in lockdown, she settled straight back into childcare centre due to the remarkable routines and self‑assurance that the team have given her since she started at 11 months. The food is outstanding and cooked onsite, the grounds are extensive and all the outdoor spaces have a excellent range of toys and activities to engage with. Our son also attended from the same age and the care has been consistently outstanding since he started in 2015. Highly recommended. Our little girl is in preschool and she absolutely loves coming to the childcare centre.

February 4, 2025 at 6:58 pmBoth my kids have developed cheerful, strong relationships with team and other kids at this childcare centre and their development has been nurtured throughout their time there. As a parent, one of the best points about this childcare centre has been their ability to provide flexibility with sessions, either swapping or adding extra sessions, even when at short notice. A big thank you to all the team at Busy Bees Pyestock! The team are incredibly welcoming and supportive.

February 5, 2025 at 9:19 amBusy Bees Farnborough is run by extremely lovable people. They are loving, attentive, understanding and very supportive. They are really close to the kids and they build a genuine bond with the little ones. My daughter goes to the childcare centre with a big smile, greets many of the carers with a excellent hug and comes back home cheerful and relaxed. That gives us parents, indescribable comfort. There are no problems with Busy Bees, none. You ask for vegetarian diet and fish – they’ve got it sorted. You want to pick your daughter up earlier – they will pack her a lunch box. You forget socks/shoes/dummy – they say ‘no worries!’ and manage that. You had a long day at work – have a chat with them and they cheer you up! They even offered to use the childcare centre address for deliveries of Christmas packages and helped us decide what are the best Christmas presents for my daughter. I am so grateful to every person in Busy Bees for making my daughter sense very special every day. People and atmosphere.

February 9, 2025 at 1:13 amSadly, we’ve had to give up our place for our youngest as the childcare centre was near our workplace, rather than near home, and with Covid restrictions we are not making the commute. It’s probably quickest just to repeat the email we sent to the managers to give a sense for our view:
We have loved having all three girls in Busy Bees. The care you’ve given our kids since June 2013 (more than 7 years ago!) has been fabulous, and we have never for a moment considered sending them anywhere else. The team at Busy Bees are magnificent – they know and care for each kid, and quite genuinely show an enthusiasm for them as individuals that we’ve found very reassuring, and worth every penny of the childcare centre fees.
So after 7 years, for the first time, we don’t have kids in this childcare centre – and we are genuinely sad to ‘leave’. Our three girls have all attended Busy Bees Pyestock from the age of 11-12 months until school age, and I couldn’t be more positive about it.

February 20, 2025 at 6:58 pmBoth boys have been very cheerful there and have really thrived in the setting which the childcare centre provides.
Following the re-opening of the childcare centre after the C-19 lockdown, the team have been particularly diligent in the care they have provided, and have made our younger son’s transition back into childcare centre, after the long period at home, very secure and welcoming. He changed rooms on his return and the team were particularly supportive in moving him into the pre-school setting. Both of our kids have attended Busy Bees Pyestock over the course of the last four years, and the care they receive there has consistently been outstanding.

February 23, 2025 at 5:28 pmHis development has been remarkable and we owe it to the enthusiasm and passion for excellence that the team display. He is exposed to so many different activity types that develop so many various skills, we sense it will give him an advantage in life. We are very satisfied with his development at Busy Bees at Farnborough (Pyestock). Our son is doing so well.

March 11, 2025 at 9:39 amMy kid was there as a key worker kid during the covid pandemic. The childcare centre setting is lovely with a excellent outdoor space. The team are incredible, particularly one lady. They arranged so many stimulating activities and also activities that they knew my kid would delight in. Her keyworker had a natural rapport with my kid and was incredibly attentive and attentive. Even though my kid was only here for a few months, they made it a very special time for her. Thank you! I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough.

March 31, 2025 at 7:06 pmMy son is now in preschool and my daughter toddlers.
They delight in going to childcare centre and consistently have so much to tell me when I pick them up.
The team could not be more welcoming. We are consistently welcomed with a smile and such friendliness. I would suggest Busy Bees to everyone. My kids started off in babies at Busy Bees Pyestock and have loved every single day they have been there.

April 6, 2025 at 8:27 pmThis goes for drink cups also.
Key workers not consistently present at lunchtime to talk to if I have any questions. When collecting at lunchtime my son is sometimes on his own with no interaction.
The kids’s trays /signing out sheets are located in the room where kids are sleeping so I wouldn’t want to disturb them.
Quinn Irwin
April 8, 2025 at 10:16 amThe team are the best part and have formed an outstanding bond with our kids and both our girls adore going there.
We couldn’t suggest them more and the way they have communicated throughout COVID and re-opening has been outstanding. We adore Busy Bees at Pyestock and so do our 2 kids that attend (4 and 1).
From the beginning 4 years ago we were really impressed with the facilities and food etc and since then our second kid has started.

April 29, 2025 at 11:16 pmOur son loves going to childcare centre and it has been lovely to see how much he has developed in a relatively short time. The interaction with the team is very positive, and for us, their interaction with our son from day one on our first visit was the biggest selling point and this has continued. Their enthusiasm is clear to see. It has been lovely to see the bonds that our son has created with the team who are attentive and nurturing.
The constant smile on our son’s face says it all. The variety of activities that the team plan for kids has clearly improved his development. My son adores being outdoors and the outside space is the best that we saw when choosing a childcare centre.
The collaborative way that the management and team work with the parents is very positive. Overall, the childcare centre provides a level of service, development and care that in our opinion outweighs the slightly higher cost to other nurseries. We have been extremely cheerful with our choice of childcare centre.

June 4, 2025 at 8:31 amIt’s very spacious with a huge outdoor space and full of engaging activities. All team have been unfaltering in their professionalism and care. Thank you. Our kid has been at this fantastic childcare centre since nine months and loves it.
Indigo Griffin
June 20, 2025 at 1:08 amThe team are so flexible and responsive to the kids’s and parents’ needs. Both boys have loved their time here and have enjoyed a wide range of activities. I was particularly impressed with how well our older son was prepared for school. I would not hesitate to suggest Busy Bees to other parents. Our eldest son spent his whole childcare centre career at Busy Bees and our youngest is still there after two years.
Morgan Bishop
June 29, 2025 at 7:37 amThere is lots of outside space and they eat things that they would never dream of eating at home and delight in them.
The downside is that it is expensive and you need to pay even when the kids are sick or are on holiday. Both my kids adore it here and the team are all really welcoming.
