We have been going to Busy Bees ever since 2017 when my son was 9 months old and we were very happy with them and all of the staff. They have looked after both of my sons very well which is a shame because they ruined our recent experience with them. My daughter has had a space confirmed in March for
starting next month and with almost no notice they have said that they can no longer accommodate her "and I will just have to extend my maternity leave until September". Extending my maternity leave is impossible as I have already given notice to my employer and with such short notice, no other nurseries or childminders have space which leaves me with no childcare when I thought it had been for months.
It's a real shame as they used to be very good under the previous leadership.

Dear Leah, Thank you for taking the time to review Busy Bees Evesham. At Busy Bees, we aim to provide the best start in life for every child in our care and this is only made possible through having passionate and qualified staff in our centres. As you are aware there is a recruitment issue in the Evesham area currently and until we can successfully fill our vacancies, we simply can't take on any other children. When your space was confirmed we were unaware that this issue would occur and therefore could not pre-empt the situation back then. We are so sorry for the inconvenience caused to you and your family and would like to assure you that we will be in touch immediately if the situation changes.
Best wishes, Busy Bees

Both our children have attended Busy Bees at Evesham and we’ve had a really great experience. Our daughter is in Pre School currently and is thriving, she loves her key worker and I can tell how attentive they are as the staff all know and appreciate her personality. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Busy Bees at Evesham is a really lovely nursery, my son settled in straight away and really enjoys his days there. The staff are friendly and informative, they greet us with so much enthusiasm each day, I know that my son is in safe hands with people who care for him. I cannot rate this nursery highly
enough.

Both of my children have absolutely loved Busy Bees at Evesham. The staff go above and beyond to settle them in and really get to know them. We were anxious about both of our children starting, with our oldest having previously been settled in a different nursery and our youngest being born in lockdown
and never having been left with anyone before! But within a week both of them were happily going in. We’re amazed every day at how much they are learning and enjoying themselves!

Using the nursery for my second child now and can't imagine to send my daughter to a different one. Very friendly professional excellent. My oldest one loved it and now my little girl loves it as well. Always going with a smile and coming home with a smile. All staff are absolutely brilliant, very friendly,
professional, caring. It looks like they love what they are doing which is for me is very important. Highly recommended. I am feeling very good knowing that my little girl is receiving proper care.

We absolutely love Busy Bees Evesham. I feel so comfortable leaving my son there knowing he's going to have a fun time. My son has been attending the nursery for 6 months now and his social and communication development has sky-rocketed in this time. He has delayed speech and the staff have been devoted
to doing activities to help him with this and updating us on his progress whilst there. The staff are incredible and really care for the children. You can tell how much they enjoy their jobs. Parents are updated on their child's day via an app - every nappy change, meal and sleep are logged, and you get photos of your child doing various different activities. The meals are varied and highly nutritious. Developmental assessments are conducted by noting how the children engage with a variety of fun activities. Overall I couldn't recommend Busy Bees more. I think they completely go above and beyond in caring for the children.

I cannot rate the team highly enough for the work they do and the care they give. From day one of my son starting Busy Bees the staff have been excellent, making him feel welcome, settled and comfortable at nursery. I can tell he genuinely loves his time there. It is clear just how beneficial nursery
has been and I am constantly amazed by the things he is learning with the team, both in terms of social skills as well as his own personal development. The Busy Bees team are excellent at keeping me updated with his progress and I look forward to reading the 'observations' they issue.
Starting my son at nursery was naturally a worrying time, but the team couldn't have done a better job. They are fabulous and they work so very hard.

Busy Bees is a really lovely nursery and all staff are friendly and professional. They’ve done a brilliant job helping my little girl to settle into nursery life. They regularly take photos of her doing various activities which is lovely to see and demonstrates what an engaging and stimulating environment
Busy Bees is for little ones. Whenever I drop her off at nursery I know she is in good hands.

Busy Bees has been part of our routine since my son was little and now that my daughter will be graduating our time at nursery is drawing to an end.
The staff have consistently and reliably worked in a caring nature with both of our children and great relationships have been built. Our nursery has
always been a happy environment and should be commended for its handling of the pandemic. We will always feel a great attachment!

I would highly recommend Busy Bees. My little boy has attended the nursery since September last year. He has grown in confidence, learnt to interact with other children and learnt so much. I was apprehensive sending him during the pandemic, especially with not being able to enter the building to drop
him off. The staff have been so professional and fully communicated the plans with drop off and pick ups, that the process has been really smooth. I get regular updates on the app of what my son has eaten during the day, along with photos and observations of his learning. It would have been nice to have some observations in person, however, completely understand the restrictions on this with the pandemic.
Busy Bees Evesham have really enabled my little boy to thrive and he’s definitely now ready to move onto first school. Staff are incredibly supportive and helpful and I really couldn’t rate the nursery enough.

The staff at Busy Bees in Evesham are absolutely fantastic and I cannot rate them highly enough. Over the last twelve months, they have worked so hard to make sure their nursery is a safe and welcoming place for the children and the staff, and they should be very proud of their efforts. Thank you to
you all, from a very happy mum and her son!

Busy Bees is large, but all of the staff know my child and his personality. I have no concerns about the high level of care that he gets, and I have been really pleased that there seems to be stable staffing, which helps with consistency. I have missed coming into the nursery for drop off and pick up.
I always enjoyed going into the rooms and chatting to the staff about his day. I find that although the staff are doing their absolute best, it is hard to predict how long the queue to get in will be, and at pick up, I feel pressured to move on quickly so that the staff can get through the drop off the queue. I hope that we can go back to the pre-Covid system as soon as it is safe to do so. I feel that communication is ok via the app, and it's lovely to see photos, but it isn't a replacement to face to face contact that you get at drop off and pick up, I imagine it also takes up a large amount of staff time. My son is very happy at Busy Bees, and we are too.

The staff have helped my child settle back into nursery after having had so much time off in the last year. The communication was great and we were able to ease my son back to nursery life. He enjoys his time at nursery and is engaged in a variety of activities. He currently enjoys telling me all about
how he’s helping to look after the tadpoles.
The app is a useful way to find out what my son has eaten and what activities he’s been involved in.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees at Evesham for two years and I can’t think of sending her anywhere else. The staff are lovely, welcoming and she has obviously bonded with many of them. Throughout the Covid-19 restrictions, the guidance set by the nursery has always been clear and helpful.

I have not had one bad experience with this nursery. All the staff are welcoming to my daughter as well as myself as a parent. No problem is too big or small for them. My daughter has been attending Busy Bees at Evesham since she was ten months old. Every group she has progressed in to, they have taken
the time to help her settle in and form the staff relationships. She wakes up eager to go in the mornings and I am confident in the knowledge that she is well looked after and her needs are met. We receive regular updates of her development as well as what she has played with each day. She always comes out to greet me with a smile on her face. The staff that look after my daughter are more then just care givers, they are friends and family.

I would definitely recommend Busy Bees Evesham, my son absolutely loves it, he gets excited every morning going in which really puts me at ease leaving him and has done since the moment we first dropped him off when he was 9 months old. All the staff are really friendly and do a fantastic job especially
through what’s been such a difficult year.

My child has settled in so well and his development has come on leaps and bounds. The staff have been great throughout Covid-19 and it’s been so reassuring seeing my child run into nursery happily in the mornings without even looking back!

As a family, we have been using Busy Bees at Evesham since 2018. We now have two children attending the nursery and have always been happy with the childcare provided. The way that Busy Bees at Evesham has adapted to the government guidelines in connection to coronavirus has been well thought out and
communicated well. The staff members are happy to answer any questions and seem to show a real interest in our children’s development and well-being. It is great to hear what they have been up to during the day! The meal plan is varied and it’s great that the food provided is not everyday food that would be cooked at home, it has taught the children to eat a variety of foods. Overall I would recommend Busy Bees at Evesham and will be sad when our children graduate for big school!
