Busy Bees Nurseries Reviews 

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Bramleys Day Nursery in Ardington. They have shown such care to our son; he has some additional needs and they have been so accommodating, they've gone above and beyond to support him. His key person and the team members in his room have been extremely proactive in learning how best to support him, the SEN co-ordinator and all members of management have been fantastic. It is clearly a very nurturing environment; he loves it!

Overall a great experience for our two boys, they got used to the new daycare very quickly and had a great time, thanks to the very friendly and welcoming nursery staff.

Excellent nursery in Bromsgrove – overall a very positive experience

We feel very lucky to have secured a place for our little one at this nursery. They have been incredibly accommodating and have provided us with days that suited our requirements. When we requested additional days of care at short notice, they were kind enough to accommodate us, which we really appreciated.

On one occasion, we were delayed getting there because the only road out of our area was blocked and there was heavy traffic. Although we live just a stone’s throw from the nursery, we were stuck, and the staff were understanding and kindly looked after our daughter for an extra hour without much fuss. That sort of flexibility and understanding makes a big difference to working parents.

Another thing we particularly appreciate is that they don’t seem to look for reasons to send children home unnecessarily, which gives us confidence that our little one is well cared for.

There are a few areas where we feel they could improve. On one occasion, our daughter normally leaves nursery at 1pm, but the app showed that she had eaten at around 3pm, which understandably made us question the accuracy of some of the information being communicated to us about meals. Better clarity and consistency around this would be reassuring.

During periods of very hot weather, the nursery had to close for a couple of days, as did other nurseries. While we understand the reasons behind this, it is an area where we feel nurseries could perhaps look at longer-term solutions.

We also received a call asking us to come in for a photograph, but it wasn’t made clear beforehand that purchasing the original photographs would cost around £90. We had assumed it was simply a group photograph.

Overall, we have had a very positive experience. The staff are accommodating, understanding and genuinely seem to care for the children. We would happily recommend the nursery to other parents in Bromsgrove.

My child's Key person was nice and kind but most of staff team members are not welcoming and don't even say hello when you go to nursery everyday. they don't even greet the child. few members are nice but my child took a lot of time to settle in this nursey as compared to previous nurseries.
They also don't encourage much to eat.
I really had a tough time in this nursey and I wanted to move out my child from the nursey as quickly as I could. As places in nurseries are limited in Basingstoke so we had to keep her in that nursery for few months.

Was great. The nursery staff are great and show care a support for my daughter.

For the past 6 years, our children have been lucky to attend this nursery. It has always been such a warm, nurturing and caring environment, with staff who genuinely know and care about every child. We’ve felt so supported over the years and couldn’t recommend the nursery highly enough. We were sad to say goodbye!

Terrible experience with Busy Bees Nursery at the University of Salford. Unfortunately, the management team has been unbelievably unprofessional.

Excellent nursery, my child has really flourished there. Staff are friendly and supportive

I’m happy about how the children are looked after generaly.

Our experience at Busy Bees Glasgow Heritage House was fantastic from the beginning. The communication was excellent and we always all felt so well looked after. Every single member of the team was so professional and kind, and we always felt so comfortable leaving our son there. He had a wonderful time playing and learning there, and came on so much thanks to all the amazing teachers.

Such a good nursery. Prices are good for the area, the staff are kind and caring with the children. They get a good variety of food, in a lovely setting and much more homely than some of the nurseries I went to visit that looked really clinical for the babies.

Taking good care of my son and l see improvements everyday. Keep me well updated on his progress.

My husband and I have been impressed with Busy Bees Bitterswell. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and approachable. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending and a big mention to Lisa the cook!

I would give 5 stars, but I give 4 just because I pay for the bank holidays and the nursery is closed, I think It’s not fair. But besides that she’s really happy and I really like it.

Lovely nursery - my daughter settled extremely quickly and the staff are lovely.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our daughter’s nursery. She absolutely loves going and gets so excited to go in, which gives us such peace of mind knowing she is happy and settled.

Since starting nursery, her speech has come on so much and we have noticed such a big difference in her confidence. It’s lovely to see how much she has grown and developed, and we know the nursery has played a huge part in this.

All of the staff are so lovely, caring and welcoming, and we always feel that our daughter is well looked after. We receive lots of updates throughout the day, which we really appreciate as it’s lovely to see what she has been getting up to.

She also really enjoys the food, and the nursery is always clean, tidy and well managed. The manager and deputy manager are both incredibly helpful, approachable and always happy to help whenever we have a question or need anything.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our daughter to learn, grow and build her confidence. ❤️

My little ones loved Busy Bees the most and settled well. It’s been a great journey for them and had so much lovely memories.

The carers are amazing, and my little one really enjoys going to the nursery!

Our child was at this nursery from 9 months until when the nursery closed the first time in June. Until February this year, we had a wonderful experience with Busy Bees, we had fabulous key workers, Maddie, Laura, Kirra and Kirsty. However, since February, our child would not have known her keyworker, she became incredibly upset getting ready for nursery, not wanting to go, asking to stay at home. Since the nursery closed the first time, I have been been made aware that due to so many different staff, the children were moved between rooms multiple times a day, moved roughly by staff. Also, the children were told off for having accidents and for our child, this had a significant impact on a sense of panic whenever the toilet was needed and we hadnt realised why. We didn't return when they re-opened and would not return due to the negative impact had on our child.

In the few months since my son started nursery, I have been so happy with the experience. The whole team are fantastic and you can tell they genuinely care for the children. My son has a great bond with his key worker, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.
