Nursery in Bishops Stortford, Turners Crescent

This nursery was originally our second choice due to location and another being nearer but everything happens for a reason. I was so nervous about the nursery experience and the staff really listened have been great with the transition and our child is thriving and loving their time there. They come out smiling now and hold hands out for cuddles back with the staff which is lovely to see. The staff are always coming up with new ideas and we've been really impressed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would like to thank the staff for their time and effort daily. There is a variation of activities and incorporating different festives and holidays across the year what we've seen so far. The team are very responsive to emails and any enquires.

As first-time parents, the idea of sending our baby to nursery felt quite daunting. Our little one has settled in beautifully, and it's clear to see just how much he enjoys his time there. The baby room is absolutely gorgeous. Always spotless, calm, and so well-organised. It creates such a nurturing environment that instantly put us at ease. Katie, in particular, has been fantastic with our son. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care have made a real difference, and we're so grateful for the bond she's built with him. It's lovely to see him interacting more and learning by watching the older children. The space is stimulating, well thought out, and clearly encourages curiosity and development. Every morning, we feel completely reassured when we drop him off. He happily stretches his arms out to the team with a big smile on his face which is all the reassurance we need that he's in great hands! Thank you to the entire team for your care, warm and positive welcomes.

My son has been at Busy Bee's since November 2024 and from the moment he started we have had such an amazing experience. He took a little while to get comfortable but all members of staff really made it their mission to help with his settle. All of the staff are so attentive and you can see have a real passion for child care. I always feel really informed and the communications are always top tier which I feel is really important. I couldn't fault the care that my son gets here and he just really loves his time here! Thank you to Busy Bee's he has become more confident and has progressed so much since his time there. Overall amazing nursery and so glad we got a space here!

Going back work and sending my only baby to nursery was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Like so many other parents, it was not a choice for us but something we had to do. The choice we did have was what nursery to send her to, and we couldn't have been happier with choosing Busy Bees in St Michael's Mead, Bishop's Stortford. Right from our first settling session, the whole team were so kind and supportive, not just to my daughter but to me as well. They made the whole process as smooth and easy as this tough situation could be, and what amazes me is how much they cater to each child's needs and challenges. The regular updates are so reassuring and it's so much more than just child care, our daughter is developing and we are provided with ideas to help her develop further. We're so happy with Busy Bees and believe our daughter is getting the best start.

I was naturally quite nervous about sending my child to nursery, but I've been happy with our experience so far. The nursery uses a really good app that keeps me updated on my child's day, and the occasional photos they share are always so appreciated -though I'd love to see a few more. One of the things I value most is how accommodating the nursery has been with changes to days or hours. This flexibility makes a big difference for families. The recent renovations to the nursery have also been noticed and are much appreciated. They were needed and have made a positive impact. Areas of improvements: young babies and older toddlers share the same room, which I don't feel is ideal. More consistency in staffing would also be beneficial. Some give detailed handovers at pickup (which I find incredibly helpful and reassuring), while others can be a bit brief or vague. It would be useful for parents to receive more information on the weekly menus (other nurseries do this).

A wonderful nursery with fantastic team and great amenities. Both children are thriving in their settings

My child loves going to nursery, and comes away full of beans excited to fill us in on her day. The team are lovely and welcoming and it gives me great comfort to know that they have my child's best interest at heart.

The team at Busy Bees are amazing. Always cheerful and happy even after a long day they have a smile and comments about how my little boy has been. They are attentive and he always comes back happy and content. Very grateful that I've found a nursery that looks after him so well. Thank you for all your hard work!
