August 2, 2018 at 12:00 amWe have been really pleased with the care given to our daughter at Busy Bees at St David’s. She is happy in nursery and very often won’t leave at the end of the day because she’s having so much fun! The staff are friendly and approachable. Our daughter’s speech has really developed which the staff at Busy Bees at St David’s have played a huge part in.

August 9, 2018 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was one year old and she will be leaving in a couple of weeks.
It took our daughter a while to settle in but whichever room she was in, all the staff took the time to get to know her.
All of the staff at Busy Bees are lovely, patient and kind and have also supported me through tricky times.
I love how the managers know my daughter as well and it is obvious that they too spend time with the children.
The little touches make this nursery special; events put on, the beautiful bright environment and hugs they give to my daughter.
Thank you so much Busy Bees for seeing our daughter for the wonderful little person she is!

March 26, 2019 at 12:00 amMy little boy was 10 months old when he started at Busy Bees and he adores it. The nursery is lovely with amazing outdoor areas. The rooms are beautiful and each room my little boy has been in has reflected his developmental needs as have the activities staff have provided for him to explore.
The chefs are fantastic and they make fresh, healthy meals and snacks daily, always supporting dietary needs for my little boy.
The staff are amazing and each and every one of them is professional, caring and friendly, they’ve always supported my little boy with his learning and development always being open and respectful of my input in his progress. They plan an individual activity for him weekly, taking into consideration his personal interests, this is really beneficial as it enables him to learn through something he’s enjoying!
The manager is always approachable and knows my little boy as well as the staff in the room which means a great deal.
A fantastic nursery which I highly recommend.

December 26, 2019 at 12:00 amAn outstanding nursery. Friendly staff who cater to my son’s needs. My son loves going to nursery. Thanks to Busy Bees I’ve felt comfortable leaving him from an early age knowing he loves the environment. He is catered to in every way.

April 3, 2020 at 12:00 amBusy Bees have been fabulous since our first son started in September 2017. From day one all staff have been wonderful with both of our sons and with us as parents. All staff are friendly and approachable and it is obvious that staff genuinely care for all children.
The manager has been absolutely amazing. It has always been great to see her so hands-on with the children. She knows all parents/children and has a great relationship with them, as well as all staff.

July 28, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended St David’s for the last two years and is leaving to start school in September. My other daughter also attends and my son will be starting in January. The level of care at this nursery could not be higher and when I drop my children off in the morning I feel they couldn’t be in better hands. My eldest starts school in September and she has been so well prepared by the staff at this nursery, who have an excellent understanding of how best to develop young children both academically and emotionally. The social skills my children learn from attending this nursery are fantastic and they are so confident at talking to both their peers and adults. They have also been well educated in the potential dangers in society, in my opinion the perfect balance. I couldn’t be happier with this nursery and my children both go in and leave with a smile on their faces every day. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees for making my children feel safe and happy.

August 6, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery has been amazing, putting everything in place so the kids can go back but yet still having it as normal as possible. My mind is at ease when my child is here because the staff are amazing and can understand each child as individuals. I wouldn’t want to go to a different nursery as Busy Bees excels all expectations.

August 13, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys coming to nursery. All the staff are really caring and genuinely interested in my son, his wellbeing and development. When I leave my son at nursery, I am confident that he will be well cared for during the day.

September 10, 2020 at 12:00 amWe feel that Busy Bees really offers a truly nurturing and family-based environment for our little one to flourish. She has no problems in creating bonds with the staff as they are always so warm and caring. Their support and guidance are always there if you need it, nothing is too much. They’re an incredible team at St David’s nursery and were pleased that our daughter is part of it.

October 21, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter was born with a chromosome disorder and I was so apprehensive about putting her into nursery while me and dad went to work. I was nervous about her care and development and whether she would get “lost” at nursery. I was so wrong! All the staff at Busy Bees St David’s have been nothing but attentive to us as a family and towards our daughter’s needs. I have never once doubted that she is loved by the staff, and our daughter absolutely loves seeing all the staff and her friends. When she is given new physio exercises/equipment Busy Bees is always the first to ask me for a copy so that they can implement her new exercises to help her achieve her absolute best.
When my daughter started nursery she couldn’t sit up, feed herself, bum shuffle or talk. Now she can do all the above! Our daughter also made a special friend who went above and beyond and choose her for a charity where money was donated to help towards private treatment. We will always be so grateful to all the staff at Busy Bees, thank you!

October 29, 2020 at 12:00 amOur child has been attending Busy Bees since he was 11 months old and he has just turned 3. All of his key people and other staff have been consistently attentive to him and kept us well informed on his activities and progress.
Since re-opening after lockdown they have maintained their excellent standard of care whilst implementing all of their new safety measures.
We thoroughly recommend the nursery and are very grateful to the staff for all their hard work and their dedication to the children.

March 21, 2021 at 12:00 amWhen my daughter started at Busy Bees at St David’s she was quite shy and her speech was limited. As the weeks have gone on she has developed greatly due to all the hard work and dedication of all the staff, she has made friends and really enjoys going on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, soon to be every day. The care, learning and lots of different foods to try and parents always being kept up to date with everything of the child’s day makes this a fantastic nursery.

May 20, 2021 at 12:00 amStaff are very friendly. I felt reassured when I first brought my daughter to the nursery. Staff gave feedback on her sessions and were happy for me to phone to check on her. My daughter has been attending 1 day per week since January and she really seems to have settled in well.

November 1, 2021 at 12:00 amMy experience of Busy Bees has been amazing, all three of my children have been to the nursery.
Each one has been cared for as an individual and made progress in very different ways. All of the staff at the nursery are kind and understanding and have taken the time to know the children.
My youngest daughter has additional needs that the nursery have embraced and understood, they have bespoke her care to meet her needs, and they have liaised with other agencies to ensure continuity. Their feedback and attention to detail have been amazing.
You know when you have found the right place when all the staff say hello, smile and know your child, and your child runs in the door in the morning without looking back to say bye bye!
Thank you.

April 28, 2022 at 12:00 amI love Busy Bees. The staff are warm, and caring and they take the time to update you even though I get regular notification updates. My little man loves the staff and seems to have settled in so quickly. Great Nursery.

July 26, 2022 at 12:00 amOur child started at this nursery about three months ago. He settled really well and enjoys going in the morning and waves bye. When I am collecting him at the end of the day, he is happy and still busy playing. I get a detailed handover from staff about his day and regular updates on the app with snapshots and pictures of his day. The environment is welcoming and the staff are friendly and helpful.

August 11, 2022 at 12:00 amBusy Bees is a fantastic nursery. The staff are nurturing and loving. Our son has a genetic condition that requires him to have a little extra care, and the staff are helpful and willing to learn, whilst allowing him to have a normal life and be treated with kindness. He loves going there, is sociable, happy and is developmentally coming on well!
Most of all, though, the staff seem to genuinely love the children; it shows, and it is a very positive atmosphere. Thank you again.

October 5, 2022 at 12:00 amFound all the staff very kind and considerate. Each time we bring our child, who is fifteen months old, he is greeted by name and spoken to directly on collection. A full explanation of his day is given, including what he has eaten, what activity he has enjoyed and if he has been happy or is unsettled etc. We were concerned when we first went to the nursery, but now we are content that he is happy to go.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery. The staff are all great, showing care and compassion towards the children. Great menu for the children with various healthy foods. Both my children attend the nursery and settled in great. Communication is exceptional, which was a huge part of my expectations. The staff engage with children on a daily basis, providing 1/1 support with evidence of photographs. My older daughter came fourteen years ago. This is a great nursery that brings your children on so much. Thanks so much, for exceptional care for my children. They love coming to Busy Bees.

July 21, 2023 at 12:00 amPersonally, I feel like it is very badly run, I turned up and the door wasn’t even secure, I entered the building unsupervised. A member of staff was coming out of the toilet very upset, but took her time to deal with me, and showed me where I needed to be to pick up my stepchild.
