    Busy Bee’s is a friendly and inclusive nursery. My daughter has attended since the age of 1 (now 3). We were nervous about the step back into nursery after three months off but after a few tears on the first day back, she now walks back through the door waving goodbye. The team have taken the time and energy to get to know us not only as the parents but also as a family. Since going back I feel that every measure has been taken to ensure the safety of the children and staff. The bubbles give the children the freedom to play with one another.
    Busy Bees gives my daughter a more worldly knowledge, playing with other children, trying food she may not eat at home and discovering and learning through play.
    My son will be starting soon and although tough to let go I know that the team will do there utmost to make him feel at home.

    My daughter has attended Busy Bee’s since she was 12 months old, it was the best decision we made for when I returned to work. All staff are so welcoming and my daughter loves it here. The facilities are really well kept and the outdoor space is so lovely for the children.

    This is an amazing nursery. The setting is lovely. Huge windows let in lots of light, the garden is huge with lots of room to run around, a safe enclosed space for the babies and a huge variety of open-ended toys. The rooms are wonderfully set up with open-ended toys, lots of books and a wide range of activities. The food is healthy and tasty and the staff do not pressure the children to eat it. However, the best thing about this nursery is the staff. They are warm, friendly, kind and caring. They are so intuitive and kind to the children. They work so hard to set up interesting activities for the children. I feel happy leaving my child with them. This is everything I looked for in a nursery. Thank you Busy Bees, my child is so happy to go here.

    We have 2 children at Busy Bees St Neots with our eldest having attended since 2017 and now in pre-school and our youngest having just started in the baby room. The nursery has fantastic facilities having just undergone a full refurbishment and has an excellent outdoor space. Staff at the nursery have been first class throughout in our experience, they have helped our children settle in and support their development at each stage and communication with us has been great. Overall though our children have been very happy and excited to attend each day, having made friends and having a great relationship with their key workers which I think is the best feedback possible. We would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family.

    An efficiently and professionally run nursery with friendly and warm staff. I feel confident I’m leaving my daughter in safe and competent hands. She really enjoys her time at Busy Bees and I enjoy the regular updates I receive on the app. Very happy with all aspects of the care she receives and particularly impressed by the varied and healthy menu, which I believe is superior to other nurseries, as well as the high standards of cleaning and security.

    My son has been attending Busy Bees St Neots since he was 9 months (he’s just turned 2 now) and he absolutely loves it! The staff are always friendly, supportive and provide regular updates on his progress and development. Transitioning between rooms is always a stressful time but with every room he’s been progressing through, the staff have made sure the move is as smooth and supportive as possible and he settles in each time quickly. The menus are always diverse, providing a wide variety of meals throughout the month. I would highly recommend this nursery.

    We have noticed a massive development in our child. Social and speech development. Our child has settled in so quickly and that is thanks to the staff. They are all so lovely and always respectful towards the parent’s way of raising their child.

    My son has been at Busy Bees St Neots since Q3 2020 joining in the middle of the Covid pandemic.
    Being at Busy Bee’s has been incredibly valuable to him offering the socialisation opportunities he richly needed coupled with building strong relationships with his primary caregiver. The nursery seems to have managed the transition between caregivers well and using the ParentZone app to keep us updated on his development as we have been unable to visit him during the day due to current restrictions.
    I have no negative comments to share regarding the nursery, their efforts through this incredibly challenging covid period have been greatly appreciated and I thank them for the care they provide my son.

    My almost three years old daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was nine months old. She has been through three room changes already, moving from babies to older groups, and now recently started in pre-school. Through all the time at the nursery my daughter has been always happy and excited to go there, she loved all the nursery staff as they all build a great connection with the child. Her journey is incredibly valuable – she has learnt so much being there, her speech and social skills evolved so much. The staff is so accommodating, my daughter tends to be very stubborn – but they all always know how to work with her to keep her happy despite that. During Covid, the nursery management did absolutely amazing work – being super informative and helpful, but also making sure children and parents stay safe during that difficult time during drop-offs and pick-ups. I could not find any fault in the nursery, management and all staff are doing amazing work, I fully trust them with my child.

    I have always had a very positive experience with Busy Bees St Neots since my son joined in 2019. All the staff are absolutely fantastic with the kids and really make an effort in all their activities and record various things on an app, so we are kept up to date each day on what is happening throughout the day. They provide really good meals for the kids and they have always been very careful where my son’s food allergies are concerned. I can’t fault them, I think they are doing a brilliant job and have been there for the kids and parents throughout the pandemic, going above and beyond. I will continue recommending them because they are fab.

    My son has been attending Busy Bees, St Neots for the last two years and our experience has been a hugely positive one. The setting is well equipped, friendly and warm. He has been in a number of different rooms within the nursery and at each stage has developed good relationships with the staff who care for him. It is clear that learning is child-led and opportunities for play and learning vary according to the interests of the children. My little boy particularly enjoys the many opportunities for creative and messy play. I’d happily recommend the setting to other parents.

    I am thrilled that my daughter has been in this nursery. She did create a lovely bond with her peers and each support worker she has been assigned. Everyone has been so lovely with us, and for me, it is essential to trust the staff. They have been outstanding in helping me with her education and everything that I request from them, such as potty training. I couldn’t ask for better care of my girl. I will be forever grateful to Busy Bees St Neots.

    I am so, so happy that we sent our son to Busy Bees. The staff is extremely helpful, supportive and kind. The place is very clean and all the rooms are equipped with lots of fun, practical toys and things. We are regularly updated by the staff on the app, which is fantastic, because we can see our baby boy having lots of fun and food. If I could, I would probably sign myself up to have so much fun and yummy snacks. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Also, the management team is outstanding!

    I would highly recommend Busy Bees nursery St Neots to any parent. My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was less than 12 months old. As parents we feel we are lucky to have found the right place for our child. The staff are so caring and look after her very well – right from the baby room, toddler room and now pre-school. The nursery have a very detailed activity plan for each week, which are very engaging for the child. Meals provided are very healthy and my daughter enjoys her lunch and snacks. The biggest compliment I can give about the nursery is that my child attends 5 days a week and she is still enthusiastic about going to the nursery every morning. Thanks to all the staff for being so friendly and caring, particularly during challenging times like the pandemic

    We are so pleased with Busy Bees nursery. Our daughter is extremely happy at Busy Bees, and the staff have been brilliant in supporting her with her development and encouraging her to reach the next stages. The staff are excellent at updating the app and sharing photos and updates so we are aware of how our daughter’s day has been. The end of the day handover is also very thorough and we trust the staff implicitly. The range of activities the staff offer is fantastic, and there is always a current or topical theme that the staff celebrate through painting or other arts and crafts. We are so happy we chose Busy Bees for our daughter.

    My three children are very happy at Busy Bees St Neots, I would definitely recommend. The staff are lovely and I feel like they genuinely care bout my children, for example worrying about them when they’re sick. There are always lots of different activities and themes for the children to play with and a real focus on natural materials and exploring the natural world.

    We love Busy Bees and how much they care. Recently they acquired a new bird table in memory of a little one. They involved the preschool children in voting for their favourite bird table design. Once the bird table arrived, they also involved them in planting flowers and preparing a little garden around it. We love how much they care about children and nature and how the little ones learn more about values and caring for others. Our daughter also has a lot of fun every day and almost jumps out of bed on her Busy Bees days. She loves story time, her keyworker, all the creative activities and exploring the garden with her friends. It is like home away from home.

    My baby girl has moved to Bombo’s room 2 and all the team are very supportive, welcoming and friendly as this is a big change for her. She enjoys all the planned activities that her key person has organised and she always is happy to be at the nursery. Very friendly staff from the moment you cross the main door. Facilities are very well looked after and the rooms are clean. I love popping in at any time and dropping off/picking up my baby from her room.

    My son has so much fun at Busy Bees Nursery. He has been attending since he was six months old and is now leaving for school. He has grown as a confident, polite, courteous child thanks to the staff onsite. The rooms are clean, even though they are well used and the activities vary to ensure the children are constantly engaged. The staff are all passionate about making sure the children have fun and they take time to hear how my son’s weekend has been. Anything he is proud of, they listen and encourage him to share with his peers. The food is also amazing. We wish the chef would share her recipes!
