Overall Experience

All of the staff at Busy Bees Bicester are very friendly and show a real genuine care for our daughter. They also really celebrate the milestones that she achieves. We always get very good handovers on pick up, so we know what she has been up to. The food is very good and they always have a wide range

of meals every week.

Overall Experience

The staff is always smiley and caring. They always take the time to tell you about your child's day telling about all the cute/funny things that happened during the day.
They are also very careful in not getting the children dirty which is a great help at the end of the day!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Bure Park since she was 1 (now 4). The team is great, they really do care about the safety, happiness and well-being of each child and have offered me the peace of mind that I needed as a first-time mum. My daughter has thrived during her time with Busy Bees

and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to all parents.

I adore this Nursery! My daughter has been coming to Ardington for around a year. The preschool is fantastic with her. She struggles with attachment and they have been so supportive and patient with her. The managment and her team are amazing. Communication with Ardington is top! The office staff and

management are kind and caring and I never feel like I'm putting them out or bothering them. They always welcome us in with a smile. Dream team and my little one is so happy.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Bicester since she was 15 months old (now 4). I chose this nursery because it was warm and welcoming and I have never once regretted my decision. As my daughter has moved up through the rooms, the staff have gone out of their way to make sure that she is well settled

and looked after. She is now thriving and loves to come in, in fact yesterday she told me upon collection that she didn't want to come home! I am sad that we will be leaving in order for my daughter to start school, and we will miss the staff and nursery greatly.

Overall Experience

As a mother, I am incredibly impressed with this nursery. My child feels safe, engaged, and constantly stimulated here. The staff are nurturing and attentive, creating an environment that fosters both security and growth. I highly recommend this nursery for its outstanding care and commitment to child

development.
If I have any questions, the staff are quick to address and answer. The food menu offered is varied and nutritious. My child has an amazing bond not only with her key person, but with all the staff in her room. Within a week of attending full time, there was no fuss or tears handing her over at the door. My child started the nursery at 9 months old and the past 6 months there were just what she needed to be stimulated and learn social skills with a range of children and adults. I trust the staff judgement 100% and am wholly happy with my child’s care at Busy Bees Bicester.

Overall Experience

Both our kids have been attending Busy Bees Bicester for a year, in baby room and preschool. They have been thriving due to the excellent care they receive from the attentive staff. They are happy at drop off and pick up, meaning they enjoy their time there! Both kids are engaged in a variety of activities,

especially at preschool, the teachers set up something new every day to spark their imagination and introduce new ideas/values/knowledge. The outside space is limited, however kids enjoy playing outside and we quite like the fact that it's shady in summer months, so they can enjoy being outside for longer. The food is always good, both kids enjoy the varied menu (more at nursery than at home, that tells you something!) and have picked up very good dining skills at nursery. We receive frequent updates from the teaching staff, very sweet photos of the kids going about their day and we get a detailed description of their day at pick up. Overall we recommend the nursery very strongly.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees at Bure Park Bicester is a lovely and homely nursery with great professionals who take excellent care of our precious children. I had to go back to work when my baby was 11 months and they helped make the transition as smooth as possible for our family. My girl has thrived and even made her

first steps there, she loves going there, loves the staff and loves the food and games they play. She has learnt so much I am absolutely adoring seeing her so happy when I walk her in the morning and when I pick her up. The nursery is open 7:30 for breakfast club and then from 8:00 until 18:00 which is perfect for commuting working parents. It’s a very nurturing nursery. The meals are always a great variety and include fruits. The kids sing many songs and play in the garden daily.
A huge shoutout to the manager and staff who have transformed the nursery in the past months to a very welcoming and bright environment full of exciting activities and special days where parents can also join in.

The staff are amazing! The centre director and staff supporting her have done wonders for the nursery and really work wit the parents and the room staff are lovely - my son runs into Busy Bees with a big grin on his face - there is no better review than that! The value of that, as a working parent,

is priceless, knowing my child is loving his time and the people he is spending his day with. Thank you.

Overall Experience

We started at the nursery two and a half years ago and have now worked our way through each of the rooms. The best thing about this nursery is the team, they all really care, want to develop your child, get to know them really well and make sure they are safe and well. On more than one occasion they

have spotted something before me or have gone above and beyond to ensure that anything going on outside of the nursery is followed through in the nursery too. A number of the team have been there ten-plus years which is very reassuring. In terms of development, my child has come on leaps and bounds, at 3 and a half, she now knows how to eat and socialise properly at the table, knows her numbers and letters really well, recognises all the letters in her names and even knows a great deal about volcanos - as well as much more. The nursery holds a number of Saturday seasonal events, two parents' nights a year, as well as getting feedback daily in person and monthly on the app. A great nursery!

Absolutely amazing setting, lovely staff.
The setting is spacious compared to other nurseries and very clean.
The food is healthy and freshly made.
Parents get to download an application where they receive updates about nappies, meals and sleep, as well as photos.
My little own joined a month ago

Overall, very high-level service.

Overall Experience

Rockwell has been the most fantastic start to our little one’s nursery journey. All the staff there are friendly, attentive and welcoming. Our little girl can be nervous around new people and it’s a testament to the nursery staff that by week 2 she was flinging herself into the carer's arms at drop-off!

The genuine love and care that the staff show for our little girl is incredible and the huge smile she comes out of nursery with speaks volumes! We get regular updates throughout the day via the app and always feel happy and comfortable that she is happy and safe at all times. The centre manager also knows everything about her which speaks volumes for how close-knit and caring all the nursery staff are. Keep doing a fantastic job Rockwell we are so grateful to have you in our little girl's life!

Overall Experience

My son has attended Rockwell since April 2022 and my daughter since July 2023. Since that time, the nursery has had its fair share of struggles with staffing and management but both of my children have continued to be very happy at nursery and I have had no doubts that they have been thoroughly cared

for and looked after. Since the new management took over about 6 months ago, the nursery has changed tenfold and the staff are all amazing. So attentive, caring and always giving me thorough feedback about how both of their days have been. Both of my children are so happy to walk into nursery and their development has come on in leaps and bounds since being there. I can’t recommend Rockwell highly enough!

Overall Experience

My little boy has been at Rockwell since November due to the closure of the Shellingford nursery. The initial couple of weeks were tough on both of us with him settling in. However, after only a few short weeks he was excited to go into nursery each day and is always so happy and chatty when I collect

him. I've also really noticed a change in his development, he's more confident, more chatty and overall so happy and seems to be learning so much and takes me by surprise with new things he has learned! The staff are great and always take time to give me an update on his day! I was really apprehensive about this move but the staff made me feel so at ease and made it easy for us! I would definitely recommend this nursery!
