My daughter and twins have both attended busy bees so we have been using the nursery for the last 4 years. We have always had a wonderful experience and my children have loved going there. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the children always have lots of fun activities to keep them busy. The management team are wonderful and have been so accommodating with my twins, being as flexible as they could to meet our needs as a family. Would highly recommend to other parents.

ViewMy little one has been attending the nursery for over 2 years now. They are Fantastic. My little one loves it. They have great facilities including a wonderful outdoor play area. The app enables us to see what he's had for food, how long he had for naps and they upload lovely photos too which is great. Their food sounds great, they have curry, cowboy pies, roasts, fruit and veg. Nicer food than we would have in an adult hospital canteen! The place is run by a manager who is so friendly and warm. The staff there are incredible, they all genuinely seem happy to be working there and this shows in the kids faces daily. It is safe, there is a strict policy of not letting anyone in when you have opened the door to exit etc. There is ample parking for drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend this nursery. I never did have any concerns that my child was unsafe, unhappy or bored.

ViewMy little one has attended the nursery for 5 months now. Lovely big nursery, spacious and good outdoor space. Key workers upload 'snapshots' to the app so you can see what they've been working towards. Lovely staff. The nursery has an app for parents to use which is great to see updates about nappy changes, sleep, food etc. However, some updates were never uploaded or uploaded late. The only negative I have to write about is the food options. Some options are a bit out there and my little one doesn't tend to want to eat them. I've also found some days the lunch meal and afternoon food are similar. Eg. Chilli Con Carne with rice for lunch and then savoury rice(?) for the afternoon food. I think the nursery could also give milk as a drink option to the children as when I asked, they said they don't give it unless requested by the parent. I never worried about my boy being there, I knew he was happy and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery for their children.

ViewWe moved from a nursery that was extremely difficult to work with and decided to select Busy Bees Cardiff Gate for our son. Our daughter had attended Busy Bees Cardiff Gate some years before and the experience then was great. They have been excellent to date and I would highly recommend them.
