Say hello to Bee Curious, our exciting new curriculum! As the UK's only independently evaluated early years curriculum, it fosters a love of learning, giving your child a head start in life.
Busy Bees in Chineham, Basingstoke is a purpose-built, single-storey nursery on one level, with easy access to the M3 and M4 motorways and close to Basingstoke train station. We are just five minutes walk, or two minutes drive away from Chineham Business Park and offer ample parking for dropping off and collecting your children from their childcare sessions.
With light, airy and spacious rooms split into under 2’s, 2 to 3 years, and 3 to 5 years, each age group has access to their own large secure garden area where the children can choose to free flow inside and out throughout the day.
Our on-site catering facilities allows our well-trained nursery catering team to prepare healthy meals daily for the children, including weaning meals for babies and can accommodate all dietary requirements. Our menus have been recognised for being seasonal, not containing undesirable food additives, hydrogenated fats, or GM ingredients, something we are incredibly proud of.
Our conscientious and experienced key daycare staff plan and provide a fun, stimulating and safe environment in which your child will play and learn throughout the week. Activities based on your child’s interests give them the opportunity to discover, investigate and explore, learning new skills as they develop and grow.
We pride ourselves on the fantastic relationships we build with parents and their extended families; our strong Parent Partnership Group is open to all parents to join, bringing innovative ideas and suggestions forward to help us improve the service we provide for the families we support.

Fantastic nursery, they really do care for all the children and parents included. You see the pure joy on the staffs faces when your child has achieved another goal, I feel they genuinely feel proud of how far your child has come, when I have worried my child maybe hasn’t caught up with something, the staff are always encouraging and remind me little steps. There is no rush.🥰 My son loves attending every week. It’s his favourite place to go. Thank you for all your support.

ViewWe've been sending our children to Busy Bees for two years and they are absolutely thriving under the care of the brilliant team! It's clear that each key carer is passionate about supporting young children, we receive regular updates on the app, detailed handovers at the end of the day and lots of opportunities to work together in providing the best experiences for our kids.

ViewMy 3 year old daughter started with busy bees in Jan 2024 and in just 6 months her confidence had progressed massively. She has fantastic bonds with not only her own key person but with other staff members in the classroom. Also in this short time she has become wonderfully and confidently toilet trained, gave up the comforts of her dummy and Elephant (in a 3 months period) We see so much of what she's learning in class (numbers/letters/songs) and teaching us them at home. Couldn't be happier :)

ViewThis is the first nursery experience we have, and our daughter is absolutely thriving thanks to the amazing setting Busy Bees have created! The team all communicate very well, and are enthusiastic every day, making it such a lovely nursery setting! You can really tell how much the team appreciate and care for the children. I am so pleased we took the dive into getting her into a nursery; we have been reassured from the very get-go (being first-time parents it was nerve-racking!) and it has proved to be a huge success for our family, and I cannot thank Busy Bees enough for this.

ViewBusy Bees, Basingstoke Chineham Nursery is fantastic. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable. My child is always excited to attend nursery and happy when she returns home. She has learned so much from nursery and most importantly, I feel she is safe and settled when she attends here. I always highly recommend this nursery and wouldn?t hesitate to enrol any future children I have within this nursery.
