My son has a number of issues due to being born prematurely, but Busy Bees QE have gone above and beyond for him. He has attended since he was one and he has developed so much! We are so thankful for the team there, they have all treated us with love and care and we are so sad to leave! Do not hesitate to send your child here-this team are great!

ViewMy little girl started here back in October 2024 at 12m old. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable, caring. They take time to get to know the parents and child. I have seen my daughter absolutely thrive at Busy Bees in such a short space of time. She has picked up so many new skills and grown so much. I cannot wait to see her progress throughout 2025. Amazing support from all staff involved in this nursery.

ViewI was hesitant about putting my daughter in a chain nursery and wanted to put her in a more forest-school-type thing, but I couldn't find something that worked around my work schedule. The team at Busy Bees QE is amazing. Being a single mum, my daughter has struggled with separation anxiety and all the staff have really helped her as well as me. Although there have been little bits that haven't been perfect, I've always felt able to voice this. The staff are fabulous, there were a few funding issues and they made sure this got sorted. Everybody is so invaluable (honestly cannot name all of them as there's a limited word count but they are all worth their weight in gold). There is an app parents can access to stay updated and staff print out photos of my daughter for me which is lovely. I'm really grateful for the team here and hope they get recognised for their above and beyond hard work. I couldn't imagine her being anywhere else.

ViewHighly recommend Busy Bees at the QE. My daughter loves the many themes and play stations that are set out. I have watched my toddler grow confident in articulating how she feels and develop her skills to make friends too. She has a great relationship with her key worker! By Sunday evening she is asking if she can please go to Busy Bees. A testament to the warm and vibrant environment!
