Overall Experience

We've been very impressed with the creativity and effort that goes into the activities for our little one to play and grow. The nursery goes the extra mile in celebrating significant days from different cultures, and made our little guy feel very special on his birthday. We also appreciate the care

he has received when he is poorly, and the staff are always so warm and friendly!

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to busy bees and I have been happy with his care. At first the settling in was tough and I would have liked to have more time to settle him in slowly with my presence but I realised that this would actually make things worse as I couldn't be around for as slow as it would

have taken and I had to trust the process however hard. The staff are caring and kind and give wonderful detailed handovers of the day he has had. The app is a wonderful feature where I can see pictures of my little boys day and have full details of naps and food that he has eaten. This is very helpful for planning at home. I can see how much he has settled in now and each day gets better. I love the learning that he is showing me at home.

Overall Experience

Busy bees nursery in Huntingdon are very good so my daughter started going to there since September last year and she love it. When I take her in the morning to the nursery she doesn't cry because she gets to use to all of the staff, so they take care of her nicely. The staff are amazing they keep me

updates daily with all my daughter his progress with her learning. The meals are great cook fresh every day and she loves them. When I take my daughter to nursery I feel happy because knowing that she is in good people hands they will always provide her needs with kindness as usual.

Overall Experience

All staff at busy bees are really helpful and spend time getting to know you and your child.
We have found the setting to be perfect for our son, and have seen him develop so much quicker through the 'bee curious' culture applied.
I really love how much 'outdoor' time they spend in the garden!
Every

step of the day is communicated at points throughout the day, which is great for keeping a track on eating, sleeping and what he's getting up to date to day.

Overall Experience

My son has attended Busy Bees nursery for 1 year now and absolutely loves it. He runs up to some of his favourite carers when he sees them in the morning and gives them a big cuddle. He also has so much fun, as he gets all his messy and water play during his days at nursery. They provide fresh meals

cooked daily onsite and we receive daily updates regarding how much my son has eaten as well as fun activities he took part in. We also receive regular pictures of him having a great time during the week. Cannot fault Busy Bees one bit. Friendly team, and my son's happy demeanor is evidence that they really do a great job with the children under their care. Well done Busy Bees Huntingdon!

Overall Experience

I could not recommend Busy Bees more highly. I have been so impressed since my daughter started at the nursery. Communication is great and all of the staff genuinely care about the children in their care. I didn't realise I was going to be a fussy parent until I visited a few nurseries that just didn't

seem right. I was very happy with Busy Bees since our first visit and have only had positive experiences since my daughter started 10 months ago. My daughter loves coming to nursery and that is a testament to the hard work of all of the staff.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Huntingdon is an amazing nursery that provides great skills for learning and socialising to our child. They have helped her develop leaps and bounds. The staff are very supportive and helpful especially to nervous first time parents. They occasionally hold small sessions around different seasonal

holidays which helps bring both parents and nursery staff to interact with their child. The app that the nursery uses is very helpful to nervous and anxious parents, I love seeing what my little one has learnt and what new skills she has achieved. My first most memorable experience, with my branch of Busy Bees, was on the first full day my little girl went to nursery. They were very accommodating to me, ringing at least twice in the first 30 minutes of her being there, to check on how she was doing. They were very helpful, calm and friendly.

Overall Experience

The staff have been amazing with both my girls since they started, the staff are incredible and I'm always kept up to date with their development, how they are doing and get pictures throughout the day. I get amazing handovers from all staff who look after the girls at the setting and couldn't ask for

a better nursery. The chef is also amazing and provides a variety of food, my eldest always comes home and tells me how much she likes it. Management team are just fantastic, have always helped with questions and any concerns I've had and they have always been able to help. My girls are well looked after by them all and couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Overall Experience

I cannot fault our experience with Busy Bees. Our daughter joined in September 2024 and ever since she has flourished. The joining and settling period in the baby room was brilliant, we felt reassured and our daughter settled so well with comfort and reassurance from the staff. The meals provided always

have a great variety and appear to be tasty according to the daily updates on the app. Each room has a generous amount of space and encourage the children to flow freely between outside and in encouraging their creativity and imagination. The nursery provides a very homely feel and we would recommend Busy Bees to anyone looking for somewhere to send their child.

Overall Experience

My son started in September 2024 and so far I have been so impressed with this nursery. The staff are all very kind and approachable. They cater the activities to the children's interests and have a really nice sensory room and lovely outside space. My son struggled at drop offs to begin with and the

staff handled this amazingly, they kept me updated and would ring and let me know when he had calmed down and had settled in. My son seems so happy there and it's so nice knowing he is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My daughter (3yo) started this nursery nearly a year ago. The staff have been absolutely fantastic with settling her in, keeping me up to date via the app and getting verbal reports upon pick up. I feel like they've made a real effort in building a relationship with my daughter and getting to know her.

My daughter had a bit of a rocky start with nerves and shyness but has come on leaps and bounds since. She has recently moved into the pre school room and is loving it in there, lots for her to do and she's made some lovely friends. I always recommend this nursery if anyone asks.

The Hampton Day Nursery
from C T (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2024

Overall Experience

Our daughter started Busy Bees in April and settled extremely quickly with care and support from the staff. She loves attending nursery and clearly has a wonderful time every day and is always happily playing when we collect her. She is well cared for and has had good support in settling in, getting

used to routines and toilet training. Her favourite thing is food(!) and she is provided with a large variety of healthy foods each day including lunch options she wouldn't otherwise get to try. Staff are lovely and welcoming, office staff all greet her by name and are friendly and warm to all families. Going to nursery has helped to build independence and confidence, our daughter is comfortable at nursery and has the same happy personality at nursery the same as she does at home. Staff are also very attentive and supportive of families and easy to talk to should you have any concerns. We are very happy with our choice of nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff try hard but the 'pre-school' offering is poor. The business is very 'profit before children' focused and this shows.
Having had my children there since 2019 it's clear the management levels and quality have declined and the children have suffered for it.
My children were safe but development

and enrichment were virtually non-existent.

The Hampton, Peterborough is excellent, the staff and my son's key workers are great. It's lovely to see from the app photos of what my son has been doing during the day. He always seems to enjoy the good selection of food and the staff are always here to help us with individual needs. Would highly

recommend.

Overall Experience

I enrolled my two children at The Hampton Day Nursery since July 2024. The oldest just transferred to primary school. During her time at the nursery she always seemed happy when we picked her up and talked about the friends she made. The youngest one smiles when he enters his room as he is welcome by

the teachers and already made new friends. Overall, the staff are very supportive with our requests and takes action immediately. My partner and I are very happy with the progress our children have made.

Overall Experience

The nursery have been so supportive to my child and to myself this academic year. Very understanding and helpful. When there has been an issue the problem has been taken seriously, investigated and dealt with within 24 hours. Honest and trustworthy staff. The support I have received personally has been

above and beyond. I can not thank the nursery enough. The setting is well-equipped, clean and tidy. The staff for the rooms are fantastic with the kids. Lots of fun and engaging activities appropriate to the stages of the development of every child. In September 2024 my child will be starting their final year at this nursery, before starting reception. They are in the best setting to prepare for the move into primary education.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees St Neots has looked after my son since he was 6 months old until he finished this April to move on to pre-school and I cannot thank them all enough for everything they have done these last three years. The warm welcome every single morning from the minute you walk through the door and are

greeted by the wonderful manager and/or deputy manager, through any staff you pass in the corridors who always make an effort to stop and say hello, into the room where our keyworkers and room staff are always there with a smile on their face with brilliant activities set up and toast at the ready. Since my son has attended Busy Bees, he has absolutely flourished, he is confident and brave and I am so grateful to all the staff for everything they have done to nurture his character. He formed an incredibly strong bond with each of his key workers, all taking real care to get to know him and what his interests are and made an effort to enter his world and become such huge parts of it. Thank you!
