    The staff at Busy Bees take great care of my daughter. She is happy to go and always participates in exciting activities. I have 100% trust with the staff as they’re always honest and consistent with their feedback. The nursery is bright and welcoming and I always receive a friendly smile. Staff are always interested in my daughter’s home life and remember about activities that we have planned to spark conversation after.

    My daughter has attended this nursery since September 2013. She has developed well and gained confidence socialising and interacting with others.
    In the early years, I had to complain about my daughter coming home with dirty clothes, but this was dealt with by staff members.

    Outdoor equipment poor.
    There is no computer and the smartboard hasn’t worked, no sound.

    My daughter was well looked after from day one and I always felt happy leaving her in the care of the staff. Staff always showed they knew my daughter well, from listening to the feedback I was given they clearly had taken the time to get to know her individual needs. Now she is older she tells me about all the exciting things she does and often will sing songs that she has learnt from their staff.

    All three of my children have attended this nursery since 2011 with my youngest still there. My daughter is quite shy but I feel like she has gained a lot of confidence and is always happy to go in. When I pick her up, she’s excited to tell me the fun things she has done. Staff are helpful and friendly have always made an effort to get to know my children’s individual needs.

    I am really satisfied with the quality of care provided by the nursery. The carers and admin staff are really friendly. My baby started the nursery when she was 3 months old. I am satisfied with the quality of the care, meal menu and the range of toys available at the nursery. Overall I am highly rating the Busy Bees at Nottingham University.

    The staff at Busy Bees have always been extremely helpful and supportive. They’ve helped with giving my daughter a safe and fun place away from home. It’s great to see and hear that she has done so much during the day and has made friends with everyone.

    The staff at the nursery go out of their way to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. They have done a great job in encouraging our boy to grow in confidence and socialise well with others. They offer flexibility which we found to be lacking when we were considering which nursery to register our son with. We get an excellent run-down of everything our son has been up to during the day and staff work with you on issues such as a change in nap time routine. We love the nursery and would recommend.

    Brilliant nursery, always caring and polite, always update you with little one’s progress and daily activity, always happy to help with extra needs, always clean.
    This nursery has gone above and beyond to not only care for my little one, born 3 months premature but also supporting me and giving me great advice. One person in particular. Thank you Busy Bees at Nottingham University.

    Key workers and management are genuinely caring about the welfare of the child and this extends to the welfare of the parent. Key workers/ Room Managers listen to feedback/concerns and act accordingly. I hadn’t wanted to put my child into the nursery as early as I had to but she has blossomed at Busy Bees and loves going to nursery.

    Really pleased with Busy Bees, all staff are welcoming and friendly. The Manager is really helpful and accommodating.
    Overall, I am happy with how my son has settled in. He seems to enjoy his time at nursery and has warmed to the staff.

    My little one has attended Busy Bees at Nottingham University for two years now. He was born 12 weeks prem, was struggling with speaking and eating. The staff have been amazing with him, very patient and have helped him along brilliantly. His key worker got him speaking and eating in no time, I can’t thank her enough. He is now 3 years old and has now moved up in class. He still has eating issues but nowhere near what it was.
    The rest of the staff are amazing, they are all so welcoming and always greet you with a smile when you arrive in the nursery. All of the staff have also been so supportive with me as a parent, guiding me and being there when I’m down with all the hospital appointments and constant diet changes made by the doctors. I can’t thank them all enough and dread the day when my child starts school and I have to say bye to them.

    For five years Busy Bees has been a daily constant for my children and I. First my son and then my son and daughter have gone to this nursery. Between the two children, I have experience of every room and most aspects of the care provided. This includes additional help for speech and language and behaviour.
    I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. All the staff always had a smile for me and the kids. They really care and get excited over new achievements and developments.
    Thinking back on my memories the word that comes to mind is “easier”. Through whatever stresses and strains life has thrown over the last five years my life and my kid’s lives were made easier because we had the support from everyone at this nursery.
    So many of the staff are the same people who were there on my first visit to look round. The friendly and loving atmosphere is what helped us make the decision to send our children there. It is a decision that I have never questioned.
    I cannot recommend enough!

    Both of my children attend Busy Bees at Nottingham University. My daughter started school this year and was very well prepared, she is ahead of many of her classmates because of how the staff at Busy Bees focused on foundation education as well as social skills. They are a group of fantastic early years educators and the management is very well organized. Each child is treated with dignity and love.

    After moving from a different setting, I can see the difference in my little boy. He sleeps and eats well and is so happy on collection. The food is great and there are lots of different activities each time. I love that I get to see what he has eaten and slept on the parent app!

    My little girl has been attending Busy Bees since she was 7 months old and she absolutely loves nursery life. The staff team are experienced and nurturing and really care about my daughter’s individual needs. We have an app which the staff team update daily, with details of how she has eaten, slept and nappies throughout the day. They also upload photos, detailed observations and we can also upload as parents which is a great tool for sharing home life with her carers. Staff are really friendly and approachable. My daughter loves her food so it’s great that the nursery has such a varied menu so she is able to try a wide variety of foods and the nursery chef has recipe cards available for you to take home! My daughter is growing in confidence each day and this is definitely down to the staff team at Nottingham University Busy Bees, thank you!
