Busy Bees Stevenage College

The outdoor space is fantastic and very easy for the children to access. There is always a varied menu and if ever my daughter is hungry they always give her seconds. The changing areas are always clean and they have a good system for maintaining cleanliness. My daughter is nearly ready for potty training and the training facilities and area assigned for this gives me confidence. The staff are always happy to see us in the morning and are always interested in how my daughter has been and is getting on. My daughter once needed refrigerated antibiotics and they were excellent at recording and managing this. They always tell me in detail what she has done during the day and they keep good records of this to show you. Office staff always have time for any questions.

Busy Bees at Stevenage is a warm, friendly and lively nursery. My son has been attending since he was four months old and I love the progress he has made over the last few months. It’s great to hear about what he has been up to each day. The staff are wonderful my son always has a smile for everyone as they wish us a good morning and they have helped me enormously with getting him in a routine and with moving on to solid foods. A lot of thought and effort is put into the activities they hold and there is a wide range of books and toys to stimulate him too. I’m very pleased that I chose this nursery and I can’t imagine sending him anywhere else.

We are so pleased with our daughters progress at this nursery. The staff are fantastic. Everyone, including the management team are always available should you have any queries or problems. She started in the baby room and developed a very close relationship with the staff in there and we knew she would be well looked after. She has now moved to the next room and the staff have gone above and beyond to help her settle. Her speech and development have progressed so well and you can tell that she is very happy there. Each day the staff give an overview of the activities they have done. The staff carry out regular observations and feed these back to us as well. The facilities are fantastic and we love that each room has their own area of the garden that the children can use and explore. Cannot praise the nursery and the staff enough.

My daughter is currently in the Foundation Class at Busy Bees (Stevenage College). She starts her day voting for which book they will read in class which I think is fantastic, learning about democracy at 4! She is genuinely excited about the themes they are looking at in class, which also inspires us to follow up at home. I would never have bought her a science experiment kit of my own accord! We regularly notice new skills she has learnt which we haven’t taught her or thought she was capable of, so we are grateful to Busy Bees for this. She is genuinely really fond of her carers and we are often drawing them pictures and making them cards when we get home, demonstrating the close bond she feels with them, which I know is reciprocated. I love reading the observations and assessments giving me an insight into her day. She is happy, confident and continues to grow and learn. Between us and Busy Bees, I believe we have given her a great start in life.

Busy Bees have been invaluable in preparing my little girl for school. The care she has received has been great especially during the settling in period.
The management has been outstanding in supporting me too throughout our time at Busy Bees.

Our little girl has been going to Busy Bees Stevenage College, full time, since just before her first birthday. It’s a wonderfully friendly nursery, the managers, are a credit to Busy Bees and manage the site perfectly. All staff members are happy, lovely and very engaged with the children. Our little girl has learnt so much, she adores French and to our surprise, is very good at it, she knows her alphabet and numbers. She can add numbers together and her team playing and role-play skills are fantastic. She is a very happy girl and loves to go to nursery. Thank you Stevenage College Team.

Busy Bees, Stevenage College, is an excellently managed nursery with fantastic staff who work very hard and clearly care very much about every single child in their care. Our daughter went right through from 9 months up to almost 5 years old before she left to start school in September and our son has been there for 18 months now too. We’ve never had anything but positive experiences with everyone who has looked after them. Any issues that have ever arisen (as is natural with young children!), have been listened to and dealt with quickly and we have been informed of any outcomes quickly too. The biggest compliment I can pay, is that we have felt as confident leaving our children with them as we would with our own families. They have developed in leaps and bounds, both educationally and socially and my daughter is still in touch with friends made there now. The handling of the pandemic and communication throughout from the management team was also first class and deserves to be commended.

Since my daughter started nursery in May we have found the staff very attentive and welcoming. Nothing is a problem and they are all very good at responding to my child’s needs and ensuring she is happy. I’m very impressed with the management at Busy Bees Stevenage College. The managers are very helpful and always kind and approachable when discussing any care needs. One staff member is very attentive with my daughter and I feel very reassured leaving her in her care.
I’m so glad we chose this nursery since my little girl loves to go there.
