My son started Busy Bees Stotfold in January 2025 and has settled in so quickly. He loves spending time with his key worker and everyone who works there. We have noticed changes in his development already which is amazing.

Overall Experience

We have been very impressed with the Stotfold branch of Busy Bees. Our daughter has received great care from the age of 1 years old and she developed a lovely relationship with the staff who are so friendly and energetic. This made returning to work after maternity leave so much easier. My daughter

has been really happy and continues to thrive. The team are very approachable and are very good at sharing everything that she has done each day, and they are quick to let us know if she is poorly, has hurt herself or if they have any worries at all. The team have been proactive and transparent in their safety procedures and finding fun activities for the children to do.
Recommend this lovely, caring, and professional nursery.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Stotfold is amazing. When we were first looking for a nursery, we found many that felt too clinical for us or were just run down and dirty. As soon as I walked into the door for Stotfold Busy Bees, it felt like we were walking into a home away from home environment. The staff are always excited

to see my boy in the morning and great at dealing with his mischievous antics. The meals are always nutritious and have a great variety. My boy has come on leaps and bounds with his social and communication development since attending the nursery and the ladies who work there are very patient with all my questions and enthusiastic to give as much advice as we want on how we help my boy's development at home.

Overall Experience

Poor management, poor supervision of some rooms and poor safeguarding. Baby room experience was fantastic. Ladies were polite and welcoming. Both my children settled quickly and were happy. When moved to 2-3 room accidents and incidents happening daily. Sometimes staff did not know what happened but

significant marks or injuries. Poor supervision of children and massive concerns. Would not recommend if looking for long term nursery.

Overall Experience

The team at Busy Bees Stotfold are absolutely wonderful. They care deeply for the well-being of children and go above and beyond every day, always thinking of creative and fun activities for them to do. I am so grateful to the whole team for all of their dedication, knowledge and kindness. My son is

very happy there - he especially likes the selection of dinosaur and sea life toys.

Lovely nursery with caring staff. Activities relate to key activities such as Mother's Day. Food is prepared by a dedicated chef and is nutritious. Outside clubs come into older classes for exercise and music classes. Child has developed and has a little friendship group.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees Stotfold since she was 1 year old. They have been brilliant with her and her transition from bumbos to bumbles was so smooth. My daughter loves going to nursery and all the staff are kind, caring and just amazing! She has come on leaps and bounds and it’s all

thanks to them.

Overall Experience

Couldn’t recommend Busy Bees in Stotfold enough. My son absolutely loves attending nursery and every morning he’s super excited to get into his nursery room to the point he forgets his mumma and dadda are even there. It gives me so much joy that he loves it there.
I love the daily personalised feedback

we get about our son. All the staff are amazing, they’re super friendly and really care about my son’s development and meeting milestones.
The food is super healthy and nutritious which gives me confidence that he has a varied diet at nursery.
We recently potty trained our son over Christmas and were feeling very anxious about how he would cope when he goes back to nursery but I was delighted to learn that he’s taken to it very well. I owe it to the nursery staff for being super attentive and supportive and for being there every step of the way.
Couldn’t recommend Busy Bees Stotfold enough. You are doing a terrific job!

Overall Experience

Both my daughters have attended this nursery and as a family, we highly rate it. My youngest has just moved up to preschool and has been there since she was one. Both my girls love the staff here. My eldest loves to visit them still! They are kind, accommodating and have a genuine care for each child.

When I was potty training they were unbelievably supportive of my daughter and the method I chose to use. One member of staff went above and beyond and read the whole book I was using.

The staff at Busy Bees Stotfold are simply amazing. Both my children attend and we have gotten to know the staff in each room really well as our children progress. They are friendly, approachable and great with the children’s development. No question or request is ever too much to ask. We receive wonderful

updates from our children each day and feel safe knowing they are being looked after each day, by staff who simply love their jobs.

Overall Experience

My daughter started attending Busy Bees Stotfold at 10 months and they made the transition smooth for both of us. The updates and photos on the app are very reassuring and make you feel you are still part of your little one’s day. There are regular updates on the app letting you know how your little

one is progressing against the Early Years Framework while they are baking, painting, playing with their friends as well as learning. My daughter is still there now having progressed through all of the rooms and all the staff have been great, the time that goes into the activities and preparing days for the children really shows. The food is fresh and prepared on-site and I’m regularly left standing for her to finish her tea before she leaves! I wouldn’t have a single hesitation in recommending this nursery.

My granddaughters are both thriving at the nursery. Staff communicate well and are friendly and welcoming. Both girls are very settled and enjoying their time here. The 3-year-old is very outgoing and has excellent vocabulary and enjoys both indoor and outdoor play. She received a sports award recently

and was thrilled and proud of herself, an excellent confidence boost.

The nursery is run by amazing staff that really care about the children in their care. They are helpful and kind, my child settled in quickly and has grown in confidence and in reaching milestones. My child recently moved rooms and they made that transition as smooth and easy as possible. My little

one loves going to nursery here.

Overall Experience

My baby has been coming to Busy Bees Biggleswade Saxon Centre Day Nursery for nearly a year. I'm delighted with her care and progression. The team are patient and caring towards my little girl and me! It's a challenging time putting your baby in nursery and they've supported her every step of the way.

We've moved rooms and are likely to move again in the next couple of months as she grows and learns more. It's done with care and experience.
The customer care from the management team is incredible. The director and assistant director are very approachable and solve any issues. If customer care could be like this everywhere life would be much easier.
