Say hello to Bee Curious, our exciting new curriculum! As the UK's only independently evaluated early years curriculum, it fosters a love of learning, giving your child a head start in life.
Our bright, spacious single story nursery is set in a quiet area just minutes away from the centre of Letchworth Garden City. Letchworth Garden City is just a two minute walk away, with regular trains to Kings Cross and Cambridge.
All rooms have direct access to the outside space where children can experience the changing seasons and admire the magnificent backdrop of the Spirella building. Our food is freshly prepared by our experienced chef who is a level 3 qualified who is passionate about cooking. They learn where the food is grown and the process of how it is cooked and delivered to their plate. The children are involved in preparing their food, and we support them in their independence. We also support local businesses with our fresh produce.
We look forward to meeting with you and your family and welcoming you to Busy Bees Letchworth.
We understand that parents and carers lead busy lives, and we want to do everything possible to help. That’s why Busy Bees at Letchworth offers the flexibility of booking additional sessions for when you need them. Find out more about our nursery session booking app, Pebble.

As a new parent, choosing a nursery was a big decision, but I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. My child is in the baby room and the staff have been incredibly friendly, caring, and accommodating from day one. They always take the time to reassure me that my baby is settling well, which has made such a difference to my confidence. Every member of staff is welcoming and always has a smile on their face. The children all look happy, content, and very well looked after. It's clear this is a nurturing and positive environment, and I'm so grateful to have found it.

ViewMy son started at Busy Bees in August 2025, and the staff have been absolutely amazing. He has multiple food allergies, and the management team at the Letchworth branch carried out a thorough risk assessment before his start date. Thanks to their diligence, he has never had an allergic reaction there-something we thought would be almost impossible to avoid, but they've managed it flawlessly! This has given us tremendous peace of mind, and he truly loves everyone at the nursery. They even support his physiotherapy, which has been a huge help for his motor skills development. The activities they provide are fantastic, and we really appreciate all the photo updates. The app is incredibly useful, especially during those early days when you're anxious about how your child is settling in. The nursery itself is lovely, clean, welcoming, and with an amazing garden. We would wholeheartedly recommend Busy Bees to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and engaging environment.

ViewOur child has been at Busy Bees since November 2025. We absolutely love this nursery - the facilities are extensive, clean, bright and interactive. The nursery workers are caring, energetic and detailed when providing updates on how our child is doing. The management is responsive, professional, efficient, caring and empathetic. Our child is truly thriving and developing at a pace we couldn't have imagined and the nursery feels like a home away from home. We're so pleased we found this nursery!

ViewMy son has been at busy bees for more than 2 years. He loves going in and the staff are always so attentive. There are always different activities and themes/ focus areas. When he had a mild delay in speech the key worker worked with him to encourage his speech. There is virtually no staff turnover so all the staff even from other rooms know my son which is comforting. The management are very active and approachable. I would highly recommend!

ViewOur child has been at Busy Bees Letchworth since January 2023 and I cannot fault it. Going back to work earlier than expected, the Centre Director made a huge effort to accommodate us. Our child's key workers in every room have been kind and loving to them, and personable and communicative with us. We've watched not only our child, but other children in the setting grow in confidence and social skills. They all wave and say hello to the parents and are kind to each other. Any difficult phases have been worked through with the nursery, with the team offering solutions and support. Care is given to not only to our child but the whole family. Staff take the time to get to know parents and siblings as well in order to offer a fully rounded support system to each child. Finally, the development of young staff is incredible. Young people often struggle with shyness and communication, and we have loved watching the youngest staff be developed into confident, knowledgeable professionals.
