Our son has been with Busy Bees since the start of the year and we have been really pleased with his development over the last few months. The teams involved do great work to give him different opportunities to play both indoor and outdoor and work on skills he might not always be able to at home. They have built a fantastic relationship with him, and he loves going in the few times a week he is there. We are happy with the food options provided, giving a variety of healthy meals that he enjoys with help from the teams. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a great place for their child to grow!

ViewOur son started at Busy Bees just before his 1st birthday and will leave for school at thr end of this month. We have no prior engagement with any nurseries as he is our first and only child so I can't really compare to any other nursery but what I can say is Busy Bees Walsgrave Coventry is absolutely brilliant, the staff, the facilities, the convenience of the opening hours, the education programme, the care they show to each individual child. It's surely 2nd to none. If/when we have another child without a doubt we will again use Busy Bees. We can't really thank them enough for their amazing hardwork and dedication. Our son has grown developed and turned from a baby to a confident little boy and Busy Bees can take at least some Credit for that. Each team member is different but they all share the same ethos and they genuinely care about all the children. The staff is the main thing that makes this nursery so great and they really are an absolutely amazing bunch of people.

ViewBoth of my boys have attending busy bees at UHCW from 2018-2025. There experiences there have been amazing and they have loved going to the nursery and were well equipped and prepared for starting school when they left. Both of my boys have at times required additional support with things such as physio, wearing glasses and unknown allergies investigations - Staff have been amazing supporting my children during these times. They are warm, welcoming and nurturing. Communication between staff and parents is excellent, facilities and activities the children are expensed to is great as well. Thank you Busy Bees UHCW for taking such great care of my boys :)

ViewMy daughter has been attending Busy Bees University Hospital for nearly 2 years now and is thriving. The food provided is really varied which she enjoys. The rooms are clean and staff are very approachable. My daughter was a very shy 2 year old and would rather play on her own and interact with adults instead of children her own age. Now, she really enjoys playing with her friends and telling us their names and what she has been up to at nursery/preschool. Her social skills and general development has really improved with the help of the staff here. They are very friendly and we look forward to watching our son grow when he starts next year.

ViewBusy bees walsgrave site is an excellent nursery. My son has been at this nursery since he was 8 months old and is now 2. There communication with me as a parent is excellent, I have full sight of what my son has been doing on a daily basis and how he is progressing. The staff are all really friendly when I arrive to drop off and pick up. The staff in the room where my son currently is are lovely, they have built up an excellent relationship with my son, which is so reassuring when dropping him off each morning. The curriculum for the room is clear to see on the door and what to expect in terms of learning and development., which is helpful for me at home supporting this and encouraging him with certain things like drinking from an open cup. My experience of the nursery is excellent

ViewOur son has been attending this nursery for some time now and we are happy with the care and support he receives. He has formed a lovely bond with his key workers, who have played an important role in his emotional and physical development. The staff supported him through toilet training with patience and encouragement, making the process feel natural and positive. We always receive helpful day-to-day handovers, and more detailed, thoughtful feedback is shared through regular reports. It's clear the team knows him well and they are always a joy to read. Our son often talks about his key workers at home, which shows how much he enjoys his time there. It's been amazing to watch our little one grow in confidence, develop social skills, and come home excited to tell us about their day. Most importantly, he is happy, safe, and thriving in a warm and friendly environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a happy, supportive place for their child to thrive!
