October 26, 2024 at 4:15 amHe started in January at 9m and instantly settled in and has flourished since. He is so cheerful when I drop him off and has a excellent bond with the team there who truly care about the kids and their development. They are consistently on hand for queries, questions or concerns. They have parents evenings along with parent partnership meetings to help feedback to each other. They are consistently doing creative things with playtime, using a variety of techniques, water, sand, paint, bubble sand to name a few to keep them engaged and stimulated. There is an app that I can track his food and nappy changes on along with childcare centre observations which is excellent as we can work on the same things at home with him to help him. There is a great-sized car park which is supportive at busy drop-off times, an on-site cook who prepares incredible meals with a six-week menu rotation, and a separate room for them to sleep in. It’s a lovely, enjoyable, inviting setting. I can’t rate the manager and her team highly enough!! My son loves it!

November 22, 2024 at 11:36 amThe needs of different aged kids are well catered for and they are the only childcare centre that I know of the go the extra mile to get them ready for school from the Spring before they start. Team are more than approachable with their open door policy to management, flexible and updates is great and on the rare occasion that I have questioned something, it has been resolved quickly. In my opinion, the management team have gone the extra mile for us, supporting my youngest externally with speech therapy as well as ensuring they work with him on improving his speech on a day to day basis. On a practical level, Busy Bees provides longer cover than any other childcare centre in the area and whilst I don’t often use them fully, its highly comforting to know they are there. I am also confident that my kids are completely secure whether in the building or playing in one of the free flow gardens. Thanks to managemetn and team. Both our boys have attended Busy Bees and have been highly cheerful there.

February 7, 2025 at 6:21 amThey are attentive and understanding of my kid’s needs. They cater for all with their onsite kitchen and chef. They have outstanding facilities. They have so much room for all the kids and the team are super supportive, welcoming and informative. When I went back to work full time I had never left my kid with anyone else and they were highly reassuring and sent me updates of how my kid is doing through the day via the app. I honestly wouldn’t choose anywhere or anyone else to leave my son with. This has to be the best childcare centre in the area.

March 7, 2025 at 11:14 amHe settled in truly quickly and team were highly great at putting us all at ease during this transition period. I sense that he has bonded well with all team who take the time to get to know the kids. They are consistently willing to spend time discussing any issues and have provided some useful advice when we’ve had concerns.
The kids get involved in a variety of activities and have lots of opportunity for playtime, discovering and getting outdoors. Regular updates are provided on what our son has been doing, as well as meals, sleep etc.
It’s often the little things that stand out, like team making sure your kid is at ease at drop off, or the time spent discussing things of specific interest with the kids. These reassure us that the kids are cared for by the team. My son started at Busy Bees a year and a half ago and truly enjoys attending.

Updates is easy and the office is quick to reply to any emails. I would definitely suggest. Both our kids have thrived at Busy Bees, Market Harborough.

April 7, 2025 at 9:14 pmThe team are approachable and expert and helped me as a new mum. I adore that my kid is excited to go into the childcare centre and loves his key worker. I am kept up to date throughout the day as to what he has been doing, what he’s been eating and when he’s been sleeping. With an ever-changing work schedule, the manager has been highly accommodating with me changing booking patterns. My kid has been with this childcare centre since he was 6 months old, going from a morning a week through to full time.

April 16, 2025 at 8:24 pmI have found the team to be expert and welcoming. My kid has built truly great bonds with them and looks forward to her sessions. My kid has attended this childcare centre for 2 and a half years and has been cared for by all the team in the childcare centre at some point.

May 7, 2025 at 8:19 pmMy kids have consistently been well cared for and cheerful – sometimes its a struggle to get them to leave!
The building is spacious and light and the recently refurbished outside area has lots of age-appropriate activities for each room to access independently.
The team are attentive and approachable, the meals are varied and nutritious, the manager is highly accommodating, and the childcare centre has a highly great value full-time rate. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to others. I have used Busy Bees at Market Harborough for nearly 3 years now for both of my kids, and have been highly cheerful with it.

May 24, 2025 at 2:57 pmHaving moved into the area I was struggling to find a childcare centre as great as my previous.
Busy Bees was recommended by a relative who had looked around a few other local nurseries.
The main selling point for me was that its not on a main road so away from fumes and how welcoming all the team are.
Am yet to have a little girl who doesn’t want to go there.
