ViewMy child has been attending Busy Bees Plymouth since September 2025. I have seen a great improvement in her skills and speech despite the fact she only goes once a week! She seems to have a variety of food offered to her, and enjoys the activities that she participates in. We recieve good, detailed handovers on collection on her day and recieve good communication on the weeks activities. Id like to see more pictures in the app, the old app was alot better for this as we got food pictures aswel, but on the other hand it is nice they are focusing on the children and not photographing every moment! Overall, very happy with Busy Bees Plymouth!

ViewWe are incredibly happy that our son attends this preschool. As parents, we couldn't have asked for a better environment for his development. One of the most impressive things for us is the language progress; although we don't speak English at home, our son has learned it beautifully here. The school was also instrumental in the potty-training process when he was just 2 years old, offering us huge support. The curriculum is wonderful-I love that they focus on art by discussing different artists and their work every month. Beyond academics, they prioritize emotional intelligence. Children learn how to cooperate in a group, and the teachers are very proactive in addressing aggression and teaching kids how to regulate their emotions. What touches me the most, however, is the bond my son has with his teachers. The care and affection they show him are truly heartwarming. I am completely at peace while at work because I know he is in the best possible hands.

ViewWe are extremely happy with our son's nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The app is updated regularly with photos and observations, which we really appreciate as it keeps us involved in our son's day and development. Since starting, our son has developed so much, both socially and in his confidence and he is always happy and settled. The environment is welcoming, stimulating, and well organised, and communication with parents is excellent. We feel very reassured knowing our son is in such good hands and would highly recommend this nursery.

ViewI couldn't praise Busy Bees anymore then I do, I really believe that they will be giving another of my children the best start in life at school in September 2026. I had the option to move my child to a nursery much closer to home but decided to commute to keep him at Busy Bees as I have seen what they do for children and are amazing. Thank you got giving both my boys the best start in school life

ViewBusy Bees has been amazing since we first put our daughter in there when she was 8 months old! They are so patient and thier teaching skills are fantastic. Our daughter came home using sign language for things before she could even talk. We are so grateful for how caring they are and how much they have contributed to our daughter's development.

ViewFrom the very first day, this nursery completely put my mind at ease. I was extremely anxious about my son starting, especially as he is still non-speaking and has communication difficulties. But the ladies at the nursery have been nothing short of amazing with him. Their kindness, patience, and understanding have meant the world to us as a family. In such a short space of time, I've already seen incredible improvements in his communication, which has been so emotional and reassuring to see. He is so happy and comfortable there and is truly thriving. Seeing how excited he gets when we arrive in the mornings says everything - he absolutely loves nursery. Knowing he is cared for, supported, and understood has taken such a huge weight off my shoulders, and I couldn't be more grateful. I would recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation.
