Nursery in Stevenage, Great Ashby

I am really happy with how my child is settling in at the nursery. I find all the staff really caring and kind towards my child and family. I have complete trust leaving my child there knowing they will have a nice day and be very well looked after. The meals they provide are also very nutritious and I am happy knowing he is fed well there.

Our daughter has been going to busy bees great Ashby for a month now, and already we can see improvements in her speech, social skills and walking! She always comes home happy from her days at nursery and LOVES her key worker Tracey! The team are always happy, personable and happy to help if we have any questions! The busy bee app is great, we love to see what she has eaten each day! You get a weekly update on what your child's room with be taking part in each week which is great, even better when they come home and show you those skills!

As a working parent and a first-time mom, it was incredibly hard to leave my child in someone else’s care — the worry of not knowing how he’ll be treated or if he’ll be truly looked after was overwhelming. But with Busy Bees, all those worries quickly faded. I feel calm, confident, and reassured knowing my son is in the right hands. The team is warm, professional, and genuinely caring. What’s even more comforting is seeing how much my son is learning and growing — he’s picking up skills and experiences that I sometimes struggle to provide at home. Busy Bees has become an extension of our family, and I’m truly grateful for the safe, nurturing environment they provide every day.

Very friendly, protective and caring staff. Helpful and open to discussion/feedback management. Wide variety of activities offered and opportunities for children to learn, develop skills and obtain social skills.

My son had a truly great time at Busy Bees, Great Ashby. From the very beginning, we were met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and I always felt confident leaving my son in their care. The staff are exceptional. They are not only professional but also incredibly friendly and approachable. It was evident that they genuinely cared for the children and worked hard to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. The team made an effort to know each child individually, understanding their needs, interests, and personalities, which made a real difference in his development and confidence. I would highly recommend Busy Bees, Great Ashby. A huge thank you to all the staff for their dedication and hard work-it truly made a difference in our child's life!

My Son is currently in preschool having been with Busy Bees since he was 10 months old. He settled really well with the care and attention from room staff in each room he has moved through. The activities are engaging around how the children like to learn and their interests and the staff put lots of time and energy into family events outside of nursery activities.

Our boys love Busy Bees Great Ashby. The older one who left to start Reception Class in September 2024 still keeps wanting to go to his old school. The younger one wants to go to school daily. They both started at a young age (~1 year) and so we have related with several amazing key workers along the way who have given them great support. It has really been a joy to watch our boys grow from babies to bubbly toddlers at the centre.
