- LJLouise JollyMay 12, 20265.0Our daughter has really flourished at this nursery. The staff are so loving and competent, and the Montessori content is of the highest standard. Food is always healthy and there is always lots of outdoor time. I would highly recommend it!
- AWApril WildMay 9, 20261.0Very disappointed. Originally went in for a look around and our girl loved it and they said we could start quickly. My daughter has mild cerebral palsy so we sent over all the relevant paperwork requested and had no responses for months . I must of rang about 5 times to remind them but they said it was hard to get the extra staff they would need for her needs. So we waited patiently and again to our emails no responses until I heard it can happen that nurseries discriminate so I sent an email asking if there was an issue. They finally got back we came in for a meeting but still they have not properly got back or addressed our 2 year old daughters needs. This was last year and still nothing sorted and I’ve given up : (
- JBJess BowesJan 27, 20265.0Amazing nursery with kind, caring and warm staff. I’ve been so happy with the care my little boy has had whilst being here. He’s learnt so much and loves his time here, all staff are very open and friendly, even staff in the older classes know my little boys name and are always engaging and interested in him. It has such a lovely family run feel to the nursery. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for care for their little bundles of joy.
- KKKimApr 15, 20241.0Appalling communication, mistakes left right and center plus absolutely zero enthusiasm or effort to book dates. Most staff looked deflated and management admitted she didnt have a clue about Montessori. Generic replies to everything across the Busy Bees group (if you're lucky to get a reply). Abysmal.
- SSSarahMar 13, 20241.0This nursery has gone from being a highly Reputable and ofsted outstanding nursery to a requires improvement nursery provision in less than a year since busy bees acquired the nursery. My eldest child attended the nursery previously and had a great experience, and as a parent I was very pleased with the care provided by the nursery. I was also willing to pay a higher fee for the nursery due to the quality of care provided. My youngest child has attended since busy bees took over the nursery, as naïvely I believed that nothing would change about the provision, as this was the promise given by the initial manager in post. Sadly that comment could not have been further from the truth. The nursery has changed beyond recognition, both in terms of well known staff members leaving and the quality of care provided. Complaints from many parents, myself included, have fallen on deaf ears. the communication is shocking and none existent, poor management, the quality to food provided cheap, budget cuts very apparent, yet parents are expected to pay nearly £75 a day. Complaints made to ofsted have recently prompted a full unannounced inspection, which only confirms my views that this a nursery that falls far below expectations. In summary, I would not recommend the nursery to anyone. I have removed my child from the nursery now and I am aware of many other parents doing the same. Busy bees have ran the nursery into the ground, and it is fair to say that the reputation of the provision within the local area of a very damaged.

Do I need to pay extra for meals and snacks while my child is at nursery?
Your child's meals and snacks are all covered in your nursery fee, so you won't need to make any additional payments. Their nursery place includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a variety of tasty snacks throughout the day, and we can cater for all kinds of dietary requirements and allergies as well as fussy eaters. Just talk to your nursery team if your child has any specific needs. You can take a look at an example menu on our website in the "Eating Well" section.

Sorry, we don't offer creche facilities at Busy Bees nurseries. You'll need to book a minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day at nursery each week to book a place. Have a chat with your local nursery if you'd like to know more.

You can find more about childcare funding at Busy Bees in the "Quality Childcare" section of our website.
Do you offer taster sessions?
Yes, we do – we call them settling-in sessions. If you're interested in a settling-in session, start by booking a visit to your local nursery; they can tell you more about how it works.
Do you provide nappies?
Whether or not we provide nappies varies from nursery to nursery. In some, we offer an all-inclusive package that covers nappies for children under 2. In others, we ask parents to provide their own. Talk to your local nursery to check whether you'll need to supply your own nappies.
Do your nurseries have gardens?
Yes, they do! All of our nurseries have wonderful, fully equipped outdoor spaces for your child to explore. We plan every space carefully to extend learning opportunities, inspire creativity and – just as importantly – provide different ways to play. Resources like our mud kitchens, trikes and more are always available for children to use, and we run special activities outdoors too. Find your local nursery to learn more about their facilities.

How will I know if my child is settling in?
Starting nursery is an emotional time, for you as well as for your child. After all, it’s a big step! So, we’ll do everything we can to help your child settle in and give you peace of mind.
Before your child starts nursery, you're welcome to come for a settling-in session. During the session, you'll have the chance to watch your child explore nursery and interact with other children and staff. We'll also assign your child a Key Person. Their Key Person is your dedicated contact while your child is at nursery, and they'll keep you updated on their progress each day. If there are any problems at all, they'll let you know. Speak to your local nursery if you'd like to know more about settling-in sessions.

Sorry – only parents of Busy Bees children and educators at Busy Bees will be able to use the app. It’s all part of how we give the children at our nurseries their very best start in life.
My child's a really fussy eater. Can I send them to nursery with a packed lunch?
For lots of children and for all kinds of reasons, food can be a bit tricky. In fact, that’s exactly why we don’t allow packed lunches or snacks from home at our nurseries; many of the children in our care have allergies, and we just can’t put their safety at risk.
Instead, we provide fresh and tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks at every one of our nurseries.

There are even 50 songs to listen, sing, and dance to with your child, recorded just for Busy Bees. You can learn more about UP on our website.
What's the UP app?
UP is Busy Bees unique learning programme and app, inspired by our promise to give children the best start in life, in and out of nursery.
"UP" stands for "Unleashing Potential", because that's exactly what we've designed this programme to do. Made for children aged 0 to 5, it's filled with an inexhaustible range of activities and advice for every age and stage of nursery children, and the app puts it all at parents fingertips.
