ViewWe’re so grateful to the amazing staff in both Bluebell and Sunflower rooms for the incredible care they’ve given our daughter. She has truly thrived since starting nursery! She’s grown in confidence, communication, and independence every day. The staff are always welcoming and attentive, and their communication with us has been excellent. It’s a comfort knowing she is so well looked after :)

ViewIt's a big moment leaving your child in the care of someone other than close family for the first time but the team at Busy Bees were so reassuring. settle sessions really got her used to the environment and the team couldn't have been more helpful to us and our daughter. Since starting nursery our daughter has taken part in so many activities and we are so pleased with the updates we get each day. Our daughter has been going to the nursery for nearly a year and every morning she goes there is a big smile on her face. I have complete confidence in the ability of all staff and I can't wait for our daughter to continue her development at the nursery. Thankyou

ViewFantastic Oaktrees staff. Our son has been really blossoming and learning so much about manners, songs, pre school orientation, space and solar system , ,,,. I could go on and on. This is very much his ' home ' and comfort zone, and we know it will be a challenge starting school. My wife and myself work full time and hence the nursery has been a real blessing to support us day to day.

ViewI am so pleased that we picked busy bees for our daughter. She always has a lovely time and is so well looked after, the staff are always kind and supportive. They couldn't have made the transition into nursery and the transition into the older room easier. My daughter has been at the nursery for almost a year, she loves going and I love the daily updates of all the activities she has taken part in. The nursery have put on some lovely events too, I was able to join my daughter one afternoon for a Mother's Day tea and had a great time! Thank you so much!

ViewMy son is in snowdrops class. We absolutely love busy bees and are really pleased with how he has been looked after. My son has severe food allergies and they have great procedures for this. My sons key person is so lovely towards the children. She recently wrote a report on him and the level of detail showed how well she has got to know him, seeing all of his little quirks! Kate is also really good with my son - he finds separation difficult as drop off and she is fab with this. My son was in bluebells before and 2 particular staff members were amazing. They sent me so many updates during the day, which was lovely to see. He still looks out for these ladies, even though he is no longer in their room. The place is very clean and the children are really well looked after. Management communicate with parents well. We are really happy!

ViewMy son has been attending since he was 9 months old and is now in Little Acorns (age 2). Information about his day is handed over well both in person and through the Busy bees app and the staff have been absolutely wonderful in his care throughout. The food is nutritious, well-balanced with an exceptional variety and great care is taken of individual dietary requirements. The staff feel like extended family in that they really understand his personality and love sharing the little quirks and cheeky behaviour that he is showing more and more of. He has grown so much in confidence, loves the environment and activities, and is really encouraged to explore, learn and grow.
