Nursery in Hemel Hempstead

Absolutely amazing nursery i've had no issues whatsoever with them, my child is very well cared for and he loves it there. they are very helpful with anything you ask for or need. Highly recommend this nursery and will be sending my second child there.

Initially our grandson attended 2 afternoons a wk building up to 4 days. He has loved it. The Director & the team have been wonderful introducing him to a range of fun experiences within an artistic, creative, practical programme developing his skills in all areas of the curriculum. His literacy has come on in leaps and bounds and he is growing into a confident, articulate, happy boy having developed positive relationships. The staff are extremely caring and fully supportive of his learning in all areas including toilet training. Altogether Busy Bees is a very special nursery.

I've had 2 kids at busy bees since 2020 and they love it. Even when a nursery opened closer to home we kept them there because we value the staff, the environment and how they have helped our children thrive. It's tough, putting the most precious people in your life into the care of someone else but we need to work. And busy bees apsley has made that easier for us. A couple of years ago there was a rocky patch with high staff turnover (not unique to BB Apsley, it was sector wide seemingly) but throughout that our kids loved going & we never questioned leaving. Our youngest is about to leave the pre school room and we're so sad to be briefly parting ways, but we will be coming back with our third - even though we won't have a sibling there and could easily send them to the more local nursery...busy bees apsley has been a huge part of our childrens early years & I don't think I'd trust anywhere else. The activities, the facilities, the staff, the care, everything is exactly as you'd hope

I have had two children come all the way through Busy Bees at Apsley from 7/9months respectively until school age. Both of my boys have always been very happy, never reported a negative experience and have enjoyed good relationships with all the carers that have been with them. At first, I chose this nursery based on two fundamental points - it's location en route to my workplace, and the privileges it provided which I didn't find promoted in many other nurseries, such as a 10% teacher discount and term time only, which were huge bonuses for me as a teacher. Essentially though, I believe my boys have been happy, safe and engaged in each one of their days there - the staff (though there has been a fairly high turnover) have all been attentive and happy to converse fully at pick up, and the managers I have met have been supportive and helpful. My children have flourished in their learning and developed good social skills from babies to being ready for school with the support of Busy bees

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Apsley for the past 10 months , and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are absolutely wonderful - warm, caring, and attentive. It's clear they genuinely enjoy working with the children and create a nurturing environment where little ones feel safe and supported. We've seen real development and progression in our daughter during her time there. Her confidence, communication, and social skills have all grown, and she always comes home happy. Busy Bees Apsley has been a fantastic place for her to learn, play, and thrive. We're so pleased with the care she receives and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Since my son started back in October at 17 months old, he has progressed developmentally hugely! The staff are professional, caring, friendly, nurturing and knowledgeable. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone and I am comfortable and confident leaving my little boy with people who really do care about him in a bright, fun, educational and stimulating environment. The staff really are invested in the children's wellbeing and so sweetly celebrate all of their milestones, accomplishments and progression. Its a lovely place to be with a real sense of community.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year and she has loved being there. All the staff are amazing and always open the door with a smile. I love seeing what she gets up to on the app. The menu is amazing with such a variety of cuisines. She has developed leaps and bounds and we are very happy with my daughters place at this nursery
