September 2, 2024 at 7:40 pmThe team are incredible! They build great relationships with the youngsters and my two have always come home pleased, with full tummies and excited to share all that they have been up to during the day. I would endorse this early‑years hub to anyone. I’m so lucky that both my little ones have been through Holme Park childcare centre.

September 10, 2024 at 11:47 pmHe made brilliant connections and relationships with all members of the team, not just his key worker or those in his room. We miss the nursery setting and team, loads! My boy joined from September 2020- May 2021 and the only reason he doesn’t still join is because we moved too far away! I would sometimes contact them with truly little notice if I needed to put him in for an extra session and they always said yes, it was never too much trouble. Wish we could still send him here! He also came along leaps and bounds with his speech progress and confidence. My little one cherished his time here- first in the baby room and moving up to the toddler room. The team are all so welcoming and welcoming, he would run in and not give me a second glance! He was always pleased and tired after a fun filled day here. I can’t endorse this early‑years hub more strongly!

October 14, 2024 at 8:18 pmOur boy extremely much enjoys going to childcare centre and we are assured he is safe and thrilled at Busy Bees. The personnel at Busy Bees create such a delighted environment for the kids. The early‑years hub is a great size whereby it is not too large and noisy, however, there are plenty of kids there so it is still truly sociable.

October 17, 2024 at 11:30 pmMy young lad started at Holme Park in September at 9 months of age, right from the first meeting we knew this was the nursery setting we wanted him to go too. The crew are so welcoming, welcoming and answered all of our questions brilliantly which made this hard decision a lot easier. The early‑years hub has a lovely homely feeling and the little ones are always thrilled. My little one has a beaming smile as soon as we walk in the nursery setting and has a great relationship with the personnel. I would strongly endorse this early‑years hub but don’t take my word for it, go and see for yourself.

October 27, 2024 at 10:48 amOur little one absolutely treasures his time at the early‑years hub, he goes to full time and I feel so comfortable with the attention that he receives at the childcare centre. Providing for our choice of nappy, accommodating our requests and allowing him to develop via exploration and a variety of activities. I have no hesitation in recommending the nursery setting and actively do so on local social media groups.

November 15, 2024 at 6:36 pmThe outdoor space and facilities are wonderful. Our two kids treasure it there. Interesting menus as well with good variety. We are delighted with the advancement and progress of our two. Both had joined right from the baby group. The crew are great with the youngsters.

November 18, 2024 at 10:56 pmI get peace of mind knowing she’s pleased and that she’s well looked after! They encourage her, she’s protected there and adores going in. I have recommended this early‑years hub to two other families and their little ones enjoy it there too. All the crew are also exceptionally welcoming and they know the little ones well. They do so many activities with them and you get photos and updates on the app (which makes my day while I’m at work). She is thriving here and is a confident girl. My little one has been attending Treetops Holme Park full-time for 15 months and has been so delighted there.

December 15, 2024 at 11:31 amYou can tell they support. Our kid is truly pleased there. Good childcare centre, small team that knows all the kids. They open earlier and stay open later than most other nurseries.

December 30, 2024 at 3:31 amThe correspondence with parents is excellent at the end of each day and also additional parents evenings. Their zest for their job is evident – they treasure it and we do too! My little one has been at this early‑years hub since 10 Months old and is just about to “graduate” from preschool this year. The team are skilled in knowing how to engage the youngsters in their activities and discovering and the exploring journeys are so personal to your kid included little comments and lots of photos. Lots of outside space and equipment to encourage physical progress, there has been some investment since they have changed hands into busy bees. You won’t regret it – go and see the childcare centre in action. He has absolutely thrived since starting at the early‑years hub. The crew are absolutely fantastic, our sons both treasure going to early‑years hub and it is down to the staff’s hard work and dedication to their job. They make the environment engaging each and every day for all the little ones.

December 30, 2024 at 7:19 pmThe team have done really well to remain focused on the attention of the kids through the two recent takeovers of the nursery setting by larger parent companies. There is lots of outside space which is brilliant. Our first little one started here in 2011 and our second has been there since 2015. The childcare centre personnel are brilliant; caring, dedicated, and fully committed to making the kids delighted and giving parents the confidence that their kids are protected and being well looked after. Despite that the early‑years hub hasn’t changed at all. The early‑years hub is quite small which gives it a nice intimate feeling. Same team, same great feeling.

February 7, 2025 at 11:55 pmMy two sons (3 years and 10 months) enrol at Holme Park Day Nursery and I can’t speak enthusiastically enough about them. It’s a smaller early‑years hub which I prefer compared to bigger local nurseries, so I think there is more time for individuals, from personnel and small ones don’t risk getting lost and missing out. The outside space is great (recently upgraded with new small houses to activities in) and I appreciate the newsletter they send out and find the team extremely kind. Also, being smaller, if you want to add days or move kids days around, they are flexible enough to accommodate.

February 17, 2025 at 9:44 amOther things to mention would have to be a good activities area, great food, extremely transparent in their dealings, the setting manager is efficient. Very soon into his entry, early‑years hub identified his differences compared to his peers and his behavioural difference and guided us on how to deal with it all. It’s absolute value for money and if you didn’t figure out till now, I would defiantly endorse it. His discovering journey has been really interesting and challenging. Very grateful to his first educator and then all the team that helped him in preschool a extremely special thank you to two of his mentors who were simply fantastic and without them we definitely would have been lost. I really appreciate how the early‑years hub has supported him over the preceding 3 years in his additional needs. Some difficult conversations in those 3 years but through all that, his improvement was always at the forefront. My little one has been going to Holme Park since the start of 2016 and he has now graduated from here.

March 7, 2025 at 5:53 amHolme Park is a lovely early‑years hub that both our boys have joined. The team are remarkable and recently went hugely beyond anything they should have been expected to do after a car crash stopped me getting to there to fetch my young lad. Being relatively small the Nursery has a caring, family feel as well as a great setting, with fun spaces indoors and outdoors.
Nina Jennings
March 8, 2025 at 2:00 pmIt’s great. A great garden where you can tell the youngsters have hours of fun. I have never in the seven years have had dealings with them felt under serviced or less important than any of their other families. The sites are great – my only suggestion for improvement would be for a separate dining room, but everything else is fabulous and the setting is gorgeous. The pre-school offering is great too and the little ones leave totally prepared for “big school”. That should say it all really, I shall elaborate a bit. There is a real feeling of family there, but with a conscientious and professional approach to youngster progress. Three of my four kids have went to Holme Park at some point in their childhood and I am just about to register my fourth! I treasure Monkey Puzzle / Holme Park.

March 13, 2025 at 4:33 pmWe were anxious about how things would go due to our experiences at the other childcare centre, but the crew at Holme Park blew us away. They took attention and time to get to know my little one. My little one moved to Holme Park in the summer of 2019 following some troubles at another nursery setting (not part of this early‑years hub group). They keep exploring varied and interesting engaging my son’s interest when he may lose focus. They offered us reassurance with his advancement, celebrating his strengths and being proactive in looking at ways to help his challenges. The early‑years hub is in a beautiful setting, and all the youngsters seem to cherish the premises, especially the large gardens – one for each age group. I felt reassured and assured about my boy returning to childcare centre following COVID shutdown, as their safety measures are clear and exceptionally thorough. The team here I have found go above and beyond with my young lad and the other youngsters.

April 16, 2025 at 6:16 amStaff and youngsters all seem delighted and there is a real closeness about the early‑years hub. Admin have been fantastic to us as we have to organise our early‑years hub days in advance due to shift work. Staff are wonderfully encouraging, caring, nurturing and kind. Always encouraging and communicate really well. Thank you. Again the personnel all seem to care about the little ones and their individual exploring needs and developments which as parents, we are kept up to date with. Fresh food made in house by a fab cook. Our girl raves about her instructors and she can’t wait to return after the weekends away! My little one has been attending Holme Park Day Nursery now for 2 years and right from the settling in days at the start she has been extremely pleased there. The catering is also so wonderful.
Vera Baker
May 1, 2025 at 12:14 pmDon’t be put off by the slightly tired exterior of the building, the team and support are great and there is investment coming from the central group to freshen it up and fix the bumpy car park. Our youngest had never been away from us for a day and has enjoyed it from day 1. Good healthy menu, an app for useful regular updates and plenty of activities and outside time plus always an open ear for conversation. My only wish would be for more extra curricular activities in the preschool room. With smaller classes and more permanent team there is not constant change of people so they all build good relationships with the kids and there is a close knit feel. The elder had been anxious to go to both previous nurseries and within days was keen to come back for more and began asking to go more often. I would definitely endorse Holme Park Day Nursery, particularly after bad experiences in other local bigger nurseries. My 2 and 3 year olds both come and both enjoy it.

May 4, 2025 at 6:09 pmThe personnel know the little ones well and help parents’ wishes regarding food. Meals are cooked on site and are carefully balanced to ensure a broad variety and healthy mix of tastes. I have already booked a place for our second youngster and look forward to watching her grow and develop under the guidance and support of the wonderful crew at Holme Park! Caring and passionate team ensure the kids are safe, well cared for and pleased. Throughout the 3 years my little one has been attending Holme Park, she has enjoyed a vast array of activities, all carefully chosen to meet the appropriate curriculum. Her advancement has been tracked consistently, with personnel able to discuss her strengths and areas for progress clearly and with a good understanding of my youngster. Children are supported to try new foods and to develop age-appropriate table manners and independence.
Vera Rivers
June 10, 2025 at 2:23 pmIt is fantastic to see how she is growing and developing and gaining in confidence since she’s joined. It makes such a difference knowing she is well cared for when she isn’t at home and enjoys it so much she talks about the personnel and her friends at home. The personnel are wonderful and extremely caring. My young lady has been attending Busy Bees since Feb 2021 and absolutely adores it! My girl is always looking for cuddles and they are thrilled to oblige!

June 12, 2025 at 11:21 amThe main reason for choosing this early‑years hub was the great, green space outside comparing to other nurseries. They offer delicious food for the kids and I like that they also put some solid food on the plate, too like bread, bagel, teacake etc. Everybody is so kind, from the minute we set foot in it, greeting us with a big smile every morning. When my little one was in pre-school, in a different one, he was a really picky eater. I am really delighted that we found Holme Park and we will be dismayed to say goodbye soon when my little one will start school. Especially as it is nested in an enormous field, away from main traffic. I also was extremely delighted with the size of the nursery setting, it is really like a big family. He ate no fruits or vegetables at all. Unfortunately, that childcare centre did not offer anything else on the side, so he either ate the fruits and veggies (which he did not) or just being left with empty tummy for the day.
