Busy Bees Farnborough Pyestock

We have been extremely happy with the care our daughter received. She loves going to nursery and the staff are great and welcoming.

The nursery is very spacious with lots of space and lovely gardens. They have also just started building a role play village in their activity hall which my daughter can’t wait to play in.

Both my kids love it here and the staff are all really friendly. There is lots of outside space and they eat things that they would never dream of eating at home and enjoy them.
The downside is that it is expensive and you need to pay even when the children are sick or are on holiday.

We have been extremely happy with our choice of nursery. Our son loves going to nursery and it has been lovely to see how much he has developed in a relatively short time. The interaction with the staff 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 staff who are caring and nurturing.

The constant smile on our son’s face says it all. The variety of activities that the staff plan for children has clearly improved his development. My son adores being outdoors and the outside space is the best that we saw when choosing a nursery.

The collaborative way that the management and staff work with the parents is very positive. Overall, the nursery provides a level of service, development and care that in our opinion outweighs the slightly higher cost to other nurseries.

People and atmosphere. Busy Bees Farnborough is run by extremely lovable people. They are loving, caring, understanding and very supportive. They are really close to the children and they build a genuine bond with the little ones. My daughter goes to the nursery with a big smile, greets many of the carers with a great hug and comes back home happy 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 nursery 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 feel very special every day.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees Pyestock over the course of the last four years, and the care they receive there has always been excellent. Both boys have been very happy there and have really thrived in the environment which the nursery provides.
Following the re-opening of the nursery after the C-19 lockdown, the staff have been particularly diligent in the care they have provided, and have made our younger son’s transition back into nursery, after the long period at home, very safe and welcoming. He changed rooms on his return and the staff were particularly supportive in moving him into the pre-school environment.

The members of staff at Busy Bees Farnborough Pyestock feel like an extension of our family. Our son absolutely adores every single one of the staff and I don’t think he could be in better hands. The facilities, the food, the activities are all great and our son has come on leaps and bounds since he started. We are so grateful and feel incredibly lucky that we can send our son here and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Our little girl is in preschool and she absolutely loves coming to the nursery. She 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 staff and the care they give to her. Despite 12 weeks off in lockdown, she settled straight back into nursery due to the fantastic routines and confidence that the staff have given her since she started at 11 months. The food is excellent and cooked onsite, the grounds are extensive and all the outdoor spaces have a great range of toys and activities to engage with. Our son also attended from the same age and the care has been consistently excellent since he started in 2015. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My child was there as a key worker child during the covid pandemic. The nursery environment is lovely with a great outdoor space. The staff are amazing, particularly one lady. They arranged so many stimulating activities and also activities that they knew my child would enjoy. Her keyworker had a natural rapport with my child and was incredibly caring and attentive. Even though my child was only here for a few months, they made it a very special time for her. Thank you!

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. Sadly, we’ve had to give up our place for our youngest as the nursery 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 feel for our view:
We have loved having all three girls in Busy Bees. The care you’ve given our children since June 2013 (more than 7 years ago!) has been fabulous, and we have never for a moment considered sending them anywhere else. The staff at Busy Bees are magnificent – they know and care for each child, and quite genuinely show an enthusiasm for them as individuals that we’ve found very reassuring, and worth every penny of the nursery fees.
So after 7 years, for the first time, we don’t have children in this nursery – and we are genuinely sad to ‘leave’.

Organised management that responds quickly to queries and are flexible and helpful.
Some staff are absolutely fantastic with the children and it’s clear that they love working there.
The food provided is great and regular updates on the app are appreciated.
