We're really enjoying Busy Bee's, the staff are so wonderful with our daughter. She's learnt so much being there and absolutely loves it. I love how updated we are throughout the day with the app, which is so easy to use. We're really assured she's cared for, entertained and most importantly, happy.

ViewMy daughter has attended the nursery since September 2025. The staff at the nursery have been very friendly. My daughter enjoys attending the nursery and is eager to get in the car to go. The app is great for communicating with the nursery and seeing when your child has been changed, fed and when they are sleeping. The food provided is healthy and the nursery has been great accommodating my daughter's CMPA. Overall, we would recommend this nursery.

ViewOur daughter has developed fantastically here, she truly enjoys spending time with her friends and the team in her room. The team at the nursery always keep you in the loop with their activity planning, what they are working on, how they are eating / potty training which gives you that peace of mind and helps you work on skills at home. They often plan trips down to the park or more recently the library which just recommends them more. Our daughter is excited to attend every day and I can't recommend them enough.

ViewDuring my child's time at the nursery she has made amazing bonds with key workers. Transitions to different rooms are done with ease and the children are familiar with all key workers. My childs key workers communicate efficiently with us and communicate with us the learning they have done and the learning they are starting. This is evidenced through photos of the children taking part in activities and photographs/links to curriculum and other resources. I'm very happy that my child attends this nursery. It has been the perfect place for my child to flourish.

ViewBusy Bees in Clipstone is a fabulous nursery!! The girls always greet you with a smile. My boy loves it here and waves me goodbye!! He's always very jolly when I collect him which can only mean he's had the best day ever!! I would highly recommend this wonderful nursery.

ViewMy son has been attending Busy Bees since September 24 and throughout this time we can see how much he's developed with every new song he sings at home that we never taught him, with many skills he's learned in nursery that we were not brave yet to try at home (like using scissors). He loves going and seeing his friends and his teachers. The team is wonderful, kind and accommodating to our needs and emergencies! I highly recommend (from a Momma with trust issues, gladly letting strangers take care of her most precious person in the world)

ViewFantastic nursery, would highly recommend to family and friends. We put our son into nursery for 2 days a week at the start of the year. Obviously as any new parents would we were worried the first few times he went, just due to him probably being one of the younger children, but now he's starting to settle in nicely with the fantastic support from the team. The staff are all amazing, constantly communicating with us throughout the day and put both me and my wife's minds at rest. The app is brilliant, constantly being updated throughout the day so we can see what our little one is doing/eating and sleeping. Every time I collect my son I am always welcomed with smiles and all the staff are a credit to the nursery.

ViewOur little one joined back in September 24 and I can honestly say that the team have been incredible. Everyone is there to support when needed. He has been able to settle in well and nursery has become a second home to him. He is always happy and smiling. Since he started they have had an upgrade to their outdoor space and he has loved being outside
