What prompted me to give this score is the incredibly friendly nature of the staff and how comfortable they make both children and parents feel. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which creates such a positive atmosphere.

Overall, Stevenage College Busy Bee Nursery has been a fantastic experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provide so far.

ViewMy daughter has been attending at least 4 days a week for 3 years now and couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. She is exposed to such a wonderful range of enriching activities and comes home every week with new story or skill. It's evident the staff really care about what they're doing and there are individuals who have really gone the extra mile for her, including helping her to walk as she was a late walker and preparing her for school which she is very nervous about. The nursery setting is lovely, with well equipped rooms and gardens for each age. We get a friendly welcome each morning and hear a detailed account of what she's been doing at pickup. From a practical point of view, there is easy parking and she's only ever been sent home due to illness as a last resort (I hear from friends that other nurseries jump at the chance to send kids home!). Would recommend Busy Bees to anyone.

ViewI did recommend them just yesterday! It has been such an amazing environment for both of our kids. It's stimulating and engaging, caring and kind. Our children have grown in confidence, social skills, physical coordination, every aspect of their development has been fuller than we could hope to have achieved just at home. And the staff are lovely, helpful, and communicative.

ViewGreat nursery! Have to say after visiting other busy bees branches, the Stevenage college was definitely the right pick for us. The staff are great and friendly, very patient with my children and extra care. Also there’s parking facilities not to mention the facilities within the nursery for the kids. Definitely would recommend this nursery to a friend :)

ViewBoth our children enjoy going to busy bees - and when our daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year they did everything they could to ensure she continued to be able to come to the nursery and enjoyed it. They have continued to be supportive and caring throughout.
