Overall Experience

Busy Bees Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our family. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the staff truly cared about each child. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment, adapting to each child's unique needs. I especially appreciate the flexibility they offer, with

various session options to suit our schedule. This has been invaluable as our plans change. When my child had surgery, the staff went the extra mile, sending thoughtful gifts and checking in to offer support. The facilities are spacious, clean and designed for both learning and play, creating a safe, joyful atmosphere. Busy Bees isn't just a nursery-it's a community where children are treated with love and respect. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for and cherished.

Overall Experience

My daughter recently started her nursery experience. The staff are always easy going and friendly with nothing ever a bother. It's been a huge transition for my little girl moving and leaving her childminder, but she has settled well. The team have fully taken her under their wing and I am happy to

report she is thoroughly enjoying her time at Busy Bees Ayr. Can't recommend them enough.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Ayr has been amazing for my daughter who started when she was 11 months old. The staff are amazing with her and she is always happy to see them in the morning. They do lots of different playtime activities and she loves painting and splashing in the water pit. There is always a variety of

good meals provided. I love that I get to see photos of her playing on the app and see when she has had nappy changes, naps and what she has had to eat throughout the morning.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Ayr have provided childcare for my 2 children over the past 4 years. I couldn’t have hoped for a better place. Knowing my children have been so happy and well cared for in nursery has eased the guilt of being a working parent and they have had experiences and formed relationships that they

wouldn’t have had at home. Busy Bees has prepared them both so well for the next stage of their lives and I am so grateful to all the lovely staff.

Overall Experience

What a fabulous nursery - our son attended Busy Bees Ayr for over a year and the care and attention that was given by the staff was exceptional. Our child had so much fun learning a variety of topics and loved all the food cooked by the Chef. He has gained so much confidence in his social skills and

speech and kept us informed at all times. We will miss you all terribly and thank you again for the wonderful experience.

Overall Experience

We have used Busy Bees for both of our children for the last 6 years. We have found the nursery to be clean, bright and airy. The children are kept amused and challenged to develop daily without them realising. Outside space was really important to us and Busy Bees allows access to the garden easily

unlike many other nurseries. We have been really impressed with the nursery as a whole and believe they have been integral to the development of our children. It takes a village to raise a child, and Busy Bees has been ours.

Overall Experience

So glad we have our daughter at Busy Bees, Ayr. The staff are fantastic with her. Always welcoming and our daughter loves going to nursery. The app is great to see our daughter's updates during the day for mealtimes and any pictures of what they are doing. We had the option of having funded hours at

a council nursery due to her turning 3 years old but we have decided that Busy Bees have been so good that our daughter will remain there. Thank you everyone at Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

Our twin boys were part of the nursery for nearly four years. In that time we saw nothing but excellent work from all members of staff. The boys had so much fun and they progressed enormously in terms of interacting with peers and staff and learning a variety of topics. We saw them grow as young boys

and the nursery played a huge part in that.

Overall Experience

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough! Both my children (5 and 3) adored their time here. The staff are wonderful - they know the children so well, are so warm and caring and absolutely nothing is a problem. My youngest has additional health needs and the staff went over and beyond to see to his

every need. The food is great with a wonderful variety. Handover is excellent, lots of information given (now via the app) and again, any additional questions answered. Events such as graduation, Christmas etc have so much effort put in. My little girl still sleeps with her Busy Bees teddy as she misses the nursery so much! The manager is amazing. So approachable and nothing is a problem. Cannot thank the staff enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful nursery to anyone.

Can't praise the team at Busy Bees enough. They maintained a safe and happy environment for my twins throughout the pandemic. My twins started at Busy Bees when they were babies and started primary 1 last week, confident, happy kids.

Thank you so very much to all the wonderful team at Busy Bees Ayr for providing such excellent care for our two children, both of whom have been in the nursery since they were babies. They have had nothing but the best throughout. Every single member of staff knows the individual children so well and

they go out of their way to help and support. The chef in the kitchen provides delicious nutritious meals, always catering for my daughter's food intolerances. My son has now moved on to primary school having had the best nursery education we could have asked for.

We love Busy Bees! My daughter has been attending this nursery since August 2020. The care that she has experienced here is excellent. All the staff are very friendly, caring, nurturing and would do anything to help and support you. I know that when I leave her at this nursery, she is safe and being

well looked after. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting Busy Bees and I cannot thank the staff enough. She is learning so many new skills and being exposed to lots of different opportunities here and due to this, she is thriving. The food at the nursery is excellent and she enjoys all her meals. I would highly recommend Busy Bees, Ayr to anyone.

Overall Experience

I enrolled my daughter in this nursery in August 2020 and she is still there to this day. At first, we did not know there was any issues but it soon became clear my daughter was struggling. This nursery was an amazing help in securing a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. She gets all the help

she needs here and likes attending, which is a small victory in itself. The staff provide an excellent service and are very approachable even in trying situations. As there is no nursery facilities for Autistic children, I feel comforted by the fact that the staff have went out their way to accommodate my daughter and myself. Cannot recommend enough. Kind regards.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees for the past 10 months. I cannot fault the staff. The care providers in the Baby Room are exceptional. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely caring. It is very difficult and emotional to leave your child at nursery, but I have total

confidence in the staff. My daughter has built a close rapport with the staff and I can tell, even at 16 months, she loves going to nursery. My daughter has flourished since attending Busy Bees. Her communication is fantastic and her social skills, especially with other children, are great. She's an only child which made it so important to me that she learned to interact well with other children. Busy Bees has assisted so much with that. I am very impressed with the food and the efforts the chef makes to give variety. If my daughter isn't keen on what is provided (which is very very rare!) the chef provides an alternative.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Ayr is a wonderful nursery - primarily because they create such a beautiful, homely environment for the children in their care. My son has attended since the age of 16 months and he has flourished in that time. Now, with less than a year until he starts school, the staff are investing much

time to prepare him for this transition, and educationally he is coming on leaps and bounds.
Every member of staff brings a unique skill set to the organisation, and all of them feel like family. The chef provides outstanding food choices, and the management team are incredibly helpful. Nothing is too great an ask.
I would recommend Busy Bees Ayr with no hesitation.
