Nursery in Harrogate, Hornbeam Park

Our son started at this nursery when he was just one year old and stayed for a year and a half, until we moved away from the area. Danni, the centre director, is very approachable and clearly dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment. The staff are attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. The food and snacks are great, and we really appreciated being kept updated through the app. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space, so it never feels crowded. Don't be put off by its size!

My son is currently in Bombos and is so happy there. My daughter (now in school) also attended Hornbeam Park Busy Bees for over 3 years and got on really well there, so much so we didn't even consider any other nurseries when it was time to find one for her younger brother. All of the staff are lovely and put on a wide variety of fun and educational activities for the kids which far exceed what I could manage at home. The food menu is impressive and the frequent updates on the app to let you know what your child has been doing are reassuring. Both of my children settled in really well very quickly. The management of the nursery is efficient, the purpose build building and outdoor space are great and the location is so convenient so perfect for commuters into Leeds!

An absolutely amazing nursery! Such good value for money and a clean inviting environment that is thoughtfully set out for each age! The manager D and assistant A are extremely helpful and will constantly go above and beyond to help the children and parents settle in! Updates are often and well detailed and any questions Danni or Aleesha is on with answering them straight away. My little girl is currently in Bumbles 1 with A, M and S, the three of them go above and beyond to ensure my little girl and all the children have the best days! We have noticed that our little one has come on leaps and bounds since moving into this room and can't thank the girls enough for what they do! A ensures that the room is full of inviting and exciting activities, while M our key person cares deeply for our daughter and the feedback we receive is so detailed and always positive! S is very good at keeping the children engaged and excited about group time which is lovely to see when we collect

We decided to move our son from a different nursery to this one - the staff have been amazing, they have got to know him so well and made his transition smooth and enjoyable. Dani (manager) is a super woman and all of the staff are just ace. Communication and level of care is great, the kids have variety and so much fun, would highly recommend to anyone!

My son started here earlier in the year, we've being made to feel really welcome, he throughly enjoys going to nursery and I have no worries about the care he receives. Meals sound lovely and he eats great when there. Always well informed about what they've got upto during the day, pictures sent home via an app so you can see snippets of learning. Big shout out to the bumbos team Honestly would highly recommend busy bees Hornbeam park.

My daughter has recently started here and all the staff have been so lovely, she is only little but seems to love going. It seems like a friendly environment that I feel safe taking her to. I love that I get photos of what she's doing during the day and the staff always take the time to fill me in on how her days been when I collect her. Huge thank you to Millie, Amy, Hayley and Dani and the rest of the Busy Bees team.

We moved our daughters, Phoebe and Lily, to Busy Bees a few months ago after experiencing some management issues at their previous nursery, and we're so glad we did. Both girls have settled in beautifully - the team have been so kind, patient, and supportive throughout. Phoebe's toilet training has been handled brilliantly, which was something we were quite nervous about. It's clear the staff genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. We're really happy with our decision and very grateful for the positive start the girls have had here.

Our child has been at Busy Bees Hornbeam park since August 2023- we are so happy with the care our child has received - the staff at the nursery are fantastic - our little boy has thrived since joining. We are so happy we will be sending our second child next year.

My experience has been a very positive and reassuring one. My daughter is always happy to go to nursery. There's massive improvement in speech development. The learning experiences are very good. Massive and purpose built gardens for play. Environment is always neat. My second daughter starts in January 2026.
