Nursery in St.Albans, Bernard Street

We've been sending our child to Busy Bees Bernard Street for just over 12 months now, we couldn't be happier with the standard of care that she receives, we love all the updates we get about her day via the app, the staff have been super at developing our daughters speech and movement it's so funny to see her come out with things that we haven't taught her that obviously she's picked up at nursery. Most importantly she has a fantastic time there she loves the staff and her friends and is 99% of the time very happy to get to nursery and go and see all of her pals which is so reassuring as a parent!

My daughter has been very happy and is thriving at Busy Bees Bernard's . The staff are kind, caring and very invested in her development. The facilities are excellent, always clean and organised and it's a great space that allows children to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. Fantastic management overall. Also great parking available which makes drop off and pick up easier all round.

We moved to Busy Bees after my son was not settling in his old nursery. Since joining busy bees I have seen a huge difference in his confidence but also his learning and understanding. The staff and management are extremely approachable , knowledgable and caring and kind towards my son. He has difficulties coming into nursery but I feel confident he's looked after and enjoys his whole day once he's in. He often talks about nursery even on weekends and I'm extremely happy with his place here !

We have a one year old in the baby room at Bernard Street and a three year old in the pre school room (who has been at this nursery from 11 months old). The nursery has been great since Kerri took over. The staff are caring and friendly, and clearly really love the kids. The baby room team are incredibly sweet and kind, and the pre school teachers are passionate about teaching the little ones. Kerri is highly communicative and competent, and clearly really cares about the children and the nursery, and it really shows. The children spend a lot of time outside as the rooms are free flow into the garden, which we really like.

This nursery is fantastic! The staff are warm, caring, and clearly dedicated to the children's wellbeing and development. The day is varied with a great balance of structure and fun. I know my children will be well looked after, will have eaten healthy food and had an enjoyable day and I love hearing about what they've been up to at pick up.

. Our son has been attending Busy Bees on Bernard Street for almost a year now, and it has been an incredibly smooth and positive experience. He genuinely enjoys going in every day, and we’ve seen him thrive both socially and developmentally. He has formed close relationships with all members of staff — from his key person to the wider team — which speaks volumes about the caring and consistent environment they provide. The support we’ve received from the admin team has also been excellent, and the nursery director has always been warm, approachable, and proactive in communicating with both us and our son. Any minor issues have been resolved swiftly and thoughtfully, and we’ve always felt kept in the loop. This is the second child of ours to attend this nursery, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it based on the wonderful care and attention both have received.

Busy Bees became a second home for our daughter. It was amazing to see how her confidence grew over the year she's been with the nursery. She joined pre-school from a different nursery and I was a bit worried about the change, but the teachers made her feel so welcome and the transition was beautifully smooth. I also love the wonderful variety of activities the children are engaged in - they learn remarkably advanced concepts through playful exploration, and they're free to discover and experiment in such a safe, nurturing environment, which I value tremendously. The care and dedication of the staff truly shine through in everything they do. I couldn't recommend Busy Bees highly enough!

My daughter settled very well and she is happy to go there. Staff are very friendly and they actually know my child. They are always keen to support my girl and help her learn something new. Also, they have recently launched a new app and it is so easy to check basic information about school day as well as contact them (in case I can't give them a call)! Very happy with the nursery and I would definitely recommend it.

I am very happy with the Busy Bee Nursery in St Albans, Bernard Street. Very friendly staff. All care and love their pupils. Good changes were taking place in the years 2024 and 2025. Refreshed rooms, permanent staff, regular notifications from the nursery director (thanks). The last year in Pre-School was very good. My son is absolutely prepared for Reception. He knows even more than it is required. Also very good food menue. Highly recommend.
