Busy Bees Matlock

My daughter loves attending nursery. She often talks about the workers and her friends from nursery.

I can’t express how happy I am with the level of care and support my son has received. All staff have been welcoming and taken into account all the needs of my child. The staff have really taken time to get to know our son even though he only does one day. We can’t thank all the staff enough.

Busy Bees Matlock have cared for my children since 2018 and we have always been happy with the nursery. The staff are hard working, friendly and approachable and our children really enjoy their days there. Communication is good and it’s great to see all the lovely learning opportunities provided for them. We love the revamped outdoor area and that they get time for Forest Schools too.

The teaching team are incredible. Always happy, helpful and good teachers. Keep the schedule varied and the food is fabulous. Their celebratory events are fun and teach the children. Their ability to deal with difficult situations has greatly improved.

All the staff have been wonderful with both our children. We have had contact with this nursery since 2019 and have seen the positive changes that the current management team have made to the nursery; communication is excellent, staff turnover seems to have significantly reduced and the atmosphere in the nursery is lovely. We were nervous about our second child starting, as he has severe allergies and additional health needs. However, the care plan completed by the deputy manager around his health concerns and allergies was in-depth and robust. Unfortunately, he has struggled to settle, but the staff in all the rooms and the management team have been fantastic. We now have an individual plan for him and he is making good progress. Our other son has made excellent progress and absolutely loves preschool. I have full confidence in them to care for our son with severe allergies, which is not said lightly, as it has been a difficult journey for us as a family.

Best nursery around. I looked at six others and was immediately sold on Busy Bees, Matlock. They cater for your child’s individual needs and help them to develop. The staff are great at what they do. Very friendly and knowledgeable about child development.

We have sent our two daughters to this nursery and our infant son is starting there next week. The staff are amazing – kind, caring, friendly and they form positive relationships with the children, nurturing them whilst in their care. There are always activities set up for the children to engage in and our children love circle time, playing outside on the equipment and fun in forest school. The key workers work hard to really get to know each individual child and will often post photos and observations to the app, so you can see the learning journey. The staff in the preschool room ensure that children are prepared well for school and support and encourage understanding of letters and numbers as well as helping children to follow golden rules. The meals and snacks provided are healthy and always varied. We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other families.

Nursery is such a welcoming place. The staff in my daughter’s room are so caring and she settled so well straight away which helped me start back working. The feedback on the app is great and seeing her pictures, playing mates all day. The manager has been very supportive with invoices and any queries I have regarding my daughter. My good comments are just regarding the value of food ie. spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread (starter and main) and then no pudding.

Amazing nursery. Great teachers.
My child loves to attend.

My child absolutely loves attending Matlock, Busy Bees. The staff are amazing and nothing is ever too much for them to do. The SEN support is brilliant too. The activities my child gets to do are really good. The staff make sure the activities are engaging and interesting. I would recommend this nursery.
