Nursery in Derby, Oakwood Smalley Drive

My daughter has just graduated from this Nursery and I can't thank the team here enough for truly giving her the best start - preparing her for the big world. Throughout her journey at Busy Bees the staff turn over has been next to none, each with long lengths of service. This is reassuring that the staff are treated well and happy in their role which then reflects on the care they're providing. This also means that the faces are familiar with each drop off/collection, allowing a positive relationship to be had and making those sometimes challenging drop offs a little easier. The app allowed us to check in each day and look back on her progress like a journal and her key worker provided a more personal incite, as well as annual parent evenings. The skills and confidence that she has is invaluable and I thank you all so very much for playing a huge part.

My daughter has had a great time at this nursery. She's been here 4 years and has loved every second. The staff are great and have helped her develop no end. She will miss it immensely when she starts school shortly.

A lovely nursery with amazing staff!! All three of my children have been here and they have all loved it. They're brilliant! Theyve made lots of lovely friends, the rooms are set up really well with lots of activities. My middle daughter has just had her graduation from pre school which was fantastic too! Thank you all at Busy Bees!

My son has been at this nursery for a few years, after moving into the area when he was 2. They made him feel very welcome and comfortable. The daily updates and photos you get are great and all of the staff are so friendly and you can tell they really enjoy their work. I chose this nursery over closer ones due to the outside area being big and the children are outside everyday which is great. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter had a wonderful experience at busy bees. The staff are great, and showed great care toward my daughter. My daughter made new friends, and she learnt a lot from her time at busy bees. She picked up a lot of skills, like painting, writing, and spelling.

Excellent nursery both my girls love coming here, staff always go above to make the girls happy. There always talking about the staff at home. They have made some lovely friends. My daughter is really going to miss coming to nursery when she starts school.

The nursery have made both my children come on so much with their talking which is amazing. The staff in baby room and pre school room are amazing. Overall I love the nursery and certain staff are lovely and really take the time to interact with my children.

Absolutely amazing service. The staff are so attentive to the needs of my child and have helped her to come out of her shell. They've been fully supportive to any difficult time she has had both inside and outside of nursery.
