Say hello to Bee Curious, our exciting new curriculum! As the UK's only independently evaluated early years curriculum, it fosters a love of learning, giving your child a head start in life.
Welcome to Busy Bees Stotfold! Our nursery is based in a big redbrick building right at the heart of Stotfold. No two days are ever the same here – they’re always packed with excitement and opportunities for your child to thrive during their important early years.
The nursery features large, light and airy rooms, which help to create a welcoming ‘home from home’ atmosphere for the children. These rooms are split into age groups: babies, toddlers and preschool children. This means the children can learn and play with others at a similar stage in their development journey.
There’s always plenty to keep the children happy and engaged – from toys to help them with their fine motor skills to quiet corners, where they can read their favourite story books. We also have an outdoor space, where they can explore and learn about taking safe risks under the supervision of our nursery team.
At Busy Bees, we look to nurture your child’s curiosity for learning. Our foundation class helps to prepare preschool children for the next big step in their journey – the move to primary school. Everything we do is tailored around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum too – to help your little one get the best start. We'll always keep you updated with their progress via our ParentZone app.

My child has been at the nursery since she was 14 months old, she is now 4 and getting ready to start school in September. She has thrived whilst at Busy bees and continues to learn every day and will be more than school ready. The staff are warm and welcoming and provide excellent care to all of the children.

ViewWe've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The management within the setting itself is excellent-professional, approachable, and clearly committed to creating the best possible environment for the children. The whole team are warm and caring, and it's clear that the wellbeing and happiness of the children are at the heart of everything they do. They all work incredibly hard and are always striving to improve. My child enjoys going there every day, and I have peace of mind knowing he's happy and safe. I truly appreciate everything they do-they are an amazing team of women working in an incredibly important vocation, which is very tiring but so valuable.

ViewWe couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees Stotfold! From the very first visit (almost 3 years ago), the team made us feel completely at ease, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. Every member of staff is warm, welcoming, and full of energy - it's such a comforting feeling knowing our son is in such capable and nurturing hands. The activities they plan are always so creative and engaging, helping the children learn through play while building confidence and social skills. We've loved seeing how much our little one has grown, not just academically but socially and emotionally too. The environment itself is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up with lots of spaces for different types of learning and play. It's clear they put a lot of care into creating a stimulating and safe space for the children. Thank you, Busy Bees Stotfold, for making our son's early years so special - we're so grateful to be part of your wonderful nursery family!

ViewLovely Nursery, Staff are really good and get to know the children individually and what they enjoy doing. Both of my Boys have come here and have had a great experience. Transition between rooms for us has been really smooth as the children get to do taster sessions in their new rooms before moving.

ViewOur son happily goes into nursery every morning - which for any parent is the most important thing with childcare. They do a really good mix of activities with the children; indoors and outdoors. He really enjoys the food, and they have boards up telling you what the food is each day. The staff are really friendly, and the management are approachable if we feel like we need to discuss anything with them. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the area. It is also smaller and therefore less intimidating than others we looked around.
