Busy Bees Hempstead

I couldn’t be happier with how my son has settled in. He absolutely loves Busy Bees at Hempstead and all the staff. The app is brilliant and I love getting updates throughout the day, it gives me reassurance that my son is okay. I can notice a difference in his development and can tell that the nursery focuses on development every day, and I really like the development updates through the app. The variety of food is really good, as well as the quantity. The nursery itself is very clean and well maintained with a wide range of toys and the garden/outside facilities are also to a high standard. I couldn’t recommend Busy Bees at Hempstead enough.

A lovely setting. Love the staff and the great bond they have built with my son.
The staff are always quick to answer any questions I have and keep us updated on any changes.
The app is a great feature as we are sent pictures and can see what my son has eaten.
He loves it there!

Excellent staff, very caring and accommodating. My daughter is very happy there. My daughter really enjoys going. They have a lovely outdoor space. The menu is varied and my daughter seems to eat well.

My son has been going to busy bee’s since March this year, and he has come on such a long way since starting thanks to their extra help. All the staff are so lovely and really care, he absolutely loves coming here. I’m happy leaving him for the day because I know he will have a great time. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Sent my boy just after he turned one. I was super anxious about him going because he was such a mummies boy he wouldn’t even go to his nanny and grandad easily. Very clingy! Also at the time covid was still around so another worry! The nursery reassured us of the protocols and they were on it with everything! First impressions were amazing as we met the manager and instantly felt at ease and also our son did which was amazing! He now just turned two and has been attending two mornings a week since he runs into nursery and asks daily to go which says it all. The staff are very attentive and caring and I am completely at ease when sending my son there. Thank you so much to the manager and the amazing team!

My eldest son started the nursery in September 2021 just after he turned one. Due to lockdown, he was very wary of new environments and people as he had spent 6- months with just me and my husband. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, so much so it prompted us to send our youngest at the same age in February this year. They both go in with no problems and enjoy their time there too. I am updated continuously throughout the day with what they have eaten and have done and are doing. The staff are friendly and welcoming and you can tell they really enjoy seeing each child’s personality come through as they grow in confidence. My youngest son also has a few food-related allergies and I feel so at ease sending him as they are so in-depth with what he can and can’t have. Overall, a fantastic nursery that I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter started here just over a month ago and she has settled in so well and so quickly, especially since she is a lockdown baby! My son attended here many years ago so I had every confidence in Busy Bees Hempstead to welcome my youngest one. All the staff are so welcoming and I have no worries leaving my daughter with the girls here. I love the app facility which is updated throughout the day with what she gets up to, what she’s eaten and nappy changes. I would highly recommend it.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Hempstead since February 2019 when she turned 1 and she will soon leave the preschool room to start school. She settled in quickly and the staff have been amazing throughout her time here in all 3 of the rooms. She has always enjoyed going here with no tears at drop offs and she comes out happy, talking about her day and the fun activities she’s been up to which have really helped her development. The app is useful showing you what they’ve eaten throughout the day and it’s lovely to see the photos/observations of her taking part in activities and having fun with her friends. I cannot recommend it highly enough and I am so glad we decided to send her here. My son will also be starting next year and I hope he enjoys it as much!

My son has been attending Busy Bees nursery since December 2022 and he has come on leaps and bounds since going. All of the staff made his settling period quick and as pain-free as possible (emotional mother right here). His confidence in himself has rocketed and he has really started to come out of his shell – particularly when it has come to his talking. He has become more adventurous in terms of trying new foods and overall, I couldn’t be happier with the progress he has made since going to Busy Bees.

My eldest attended the preschool at Busy Bees and loved it. Now my youngest attends the toddler room and more than loves it. I think she wants to attend more sessions. When I drive close to where the nursery is, she gets excited. The staff are all lovely, very helpful (I do ask a lot of questions), always smiley and best of all the children have a huge variety of foods to try, which helps massively at home. Could not have asked for a better nursery for both my children. Thank you!
