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.
Discover why parents love our childcare in Loughborough! We're here to help you unleash your child's potential and set them up for the best start in life.
Here at Busy Bees Loughborough, we look after babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. With dedicated rooms and spaces for each age group, we ensure the children get to play, learn, and have fun at a pace that suits them. We make sure babies and younger children have everything they need while they're with us - including access to nappies, wipes, and formula milk.
The nursery features plenty of toys and games designed to stimulate learning. From building bricks to playdough, painting tables to reading corners - whatever your child enjoys most, there's always plenty of fun to be had. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which helps to set children up for school education.
Our dedicated room teams are always looking to arrange activities that keep the kids fully engaged throughout the day. We're lucky enough to have access to secure outdoor space, where the children can enjoy the fresh air, learn about taking safe risks under adult supervision and most of all enjoy themselves. No two days at our Loughborough nursery are ever the same!

I 100% reccommend this nursery to any nervous/anxious mummies like myself. The staff are so welcoming and patient. I trust these lovely ladies and the lovely Ellis with everything in me. Its like having an extra extended family. 2 of my little ones started January 2025. My daughter was 3 at the time and she had a little trouble settling in and all the staff were so patient and understanding, she ended up excited to go in on her days and Ellis became her favorite person. She has since moved onto school but still loves going to visit when picking up her brother. My son was 2 when he started now hes 3. He started with a major speech delay and has absolutely thrived with the support of the nursery. He is so excited for nursery days and tells me all about his days with enthusiasm. They also helped me seek help from outside sources. My youngest son is due to start in April and I cannot wait to see how much he thrives. The security is great. Prices aint too bad either :)

ViewMy 3 year old absolutely loves going to Busy Bees Loughborough Nursery, he currently does 5 mornings a week. Always smiling and happy to arrive and when coming home at home time, he has come on so much with his learning, confidence, speaking and eating in the last year since starting at nursery. All the staff are amazing and very caring towards all the children and parents, it's like home from home for all the children that go to busy bees.

ViewI love this nursery, my little one (3 years) only attends for 3 hours a week but this doesn't mean she's missing out. She attends and loves it there, she tells me about her friends all the time. She seems to really enjoy it and that makes me a happy parent. I love the security this nursery has as well, if I ever need anyone else besides me and her dad to pick her up, they require the other person to know her DOB, her name and a password I have set myself before letting them take her from nursery. I feel as if my little one is safe this way and it gives me reassurance. They change her nappy if needs be (she's potty training, so will be out of these soon!) she's trained at home but not outside yet. They feed her snacks and definitely look after her. I don't have to worry and that tells me this is a wonderful nursery. Everyone is so friendly there too!

ViewOur twins have been attending here full time since they were 12 months old. Couldn't be happier in seeing how they are cared for and how they are progressing with their learning journey. One of the main reasons we chose this nursery out of so many, was its small size and friendly feel. Our friends have children in other nursery's that are that big there children have to change rooms every few months reducing the child's .confidence and stability. Big shout out for the directors and team x

ViewWe've had a wonderful experience with this nursery. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which made it easy for my child to settle in quickly. He looks forward to going every day and always comes home smiling. The environment is warm and nurturing, and there are plenty of other children his age, so he's made lots of friends. It's clear the team truly cares about the children, creating a fun and safe space for them to learn and grow. I feel confident leaving my child here and would highly recommend it to other parents.

ViewMy daughter started at Busy bee's back in April when she turned 12 months old for 2 days a week. As expected i was very apprehensive before she started nursery however it was the best thing we chose to do! My daughter loves nursery, she is learning to socialise with many different people/ children. She learns new skills & eats lots of new foods. I dont think there has been a day so far that she hasnt been beaming at collection time. All of the staff are very helpful, kind and approachable, without a doubt i would recommend this nursery to anyone!

ViewMy daughter has been attending busy bees since before her 2nd birthday and she's now 3. The staff have been excellent with helping her develop and grow. She has a great relationship with all of the staff and there's not a day that I pick her up and she doesn't have a smile on her face. All of the staff go above and beyond to be supportive to me and my daughter and it shows how much they genuinely care for their children. I couldn't thank them enough for offering such a safe space for my child, I feel confident that my daughter is being cared for as well as she would be at home, which was my biggest concern when my daughter started childcare.
