My daughter started with Busy Bees in October 2024 when she had just turned 1. I was really nervous about my daughter starting nursery, being a first-time mum. I discussed all of my concerns with the manager before my daughter started and she listened to everything I told her and I felt really reassured. Her transition into a nursery setting has been so much better than I ever expected it would be. I get updates on the app throughout the day, including nappy changes, when and how much she's eaten, sleep and most importantly, photos, which really makes me feel part of my daughter's nursery journey. She does all sorts of things during the day I wouldn't necessarily think of doing with her at home and her development has come on in leaps and bounds as a result. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I would recommend Busy Bees in Brough to any parent who is looking for a nursery - my little girl has been there since we moved to the area last year. They put such attention, care and detail into her settling in period. During her time in the baby room she developed a very strong bond with her key worker, as a mum it is so important to feel your child has someone they can rely on whilst your not there and the key worker was that for us. She absolutely attended to all of my girls individual needs and was so involved in her learning and development. We have now moved into toddlers and the experience has been great, a little unsure at first but all the staff (including my little girls favourite - the chef!) made sure she felt safe and secure. The little celebration days and events add to an already great calendar. The space is clean, filled with lots of different toys/sensory areas for all kids. The outdoor area is also great for them to get out for fresh air. 5 out of 5!

We have two children at the nursery, the eldest being nearly 4 and the youngest 14 months. Separating from your children when you go to work is incredibly tough but the staff have made the process so much easier and have been so understanding with it. The staff have been amazing with both the children, showing warmth to them all the time. They go out of their way to ensure the children have a great time and it's so reassuring to know they're enjoying themselves when you're away from them. I would really recommend this setting.

I would highly recommend Busy Bees in Brough to any parent looking for a nursery for their child. The whole team in Brough are welcoming and friendly. I have two children, one who attended and now is at school and one child currently attending the nursery. The care and passion that the staff have are second to none. The management team are great and will always go that extra mile to help. They take time to listen and help, whatever the request may be. The knowledge that the practitioners have and the time they take to get to know not only the child but the family as well is great. They know the children very well and can plan and extend their activities to take their learning to the next level. Busy Bees is, overall, a fantastic nursery and I would highly recommend.

I have two children at the nursery - one who has been there for fifteen months and another for five months. They've settled and bonded very well with the room staff and I can trust them with my requests regarding their sleeping schedule or any changes in routine. They update us daily with activities, food and sleep on the app and keep us informed via phone if they're sick or an incident has happened so I am updated when needed. Overall, it's a lovely nursery and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend this nursery.

Our son has attended since 10 months old and is now almost 3. The staff have been incredible throughout the whole period. There were a few periods where staffing was inconsistent and we really noticed how unsettled he was becoming. We were considering changing settings but then things really improved and a handful of staff in particular really put extra effort in to make drops off easier and transitions to the school room easier for him. Our eldest son (now 10) attended here too and he didn't look back once on his first day at primary so I know he was well prepared and I am confident our youngest will be too. It feels like staff are taking on board concerns and striving to constantly improve which is reassuring. Thank you for all your hard work we really appreciate everything you have done and it will be a sad day when our time is up!

My overall experience of Busy Bees Brough is excellent. My baby is always well cared for and is so happy when she's there. I love receiving photos of her day, to see what she's been getting up to. I love to see the activities set up too which is shown through the app as well as the breakdown of her day. The handover from her key people is very thorough and is often accompanied with artwork that my little girl has made to take home. Since starting at Busy Bees Brough, I've felt at ease with the love and professional but friendly atmosphere, after a previous bad experience with a nursery, this time round has been totally different and I would highly recommend to anyone! I can't thank Busy Bees Brough enough.

Our son has been at Busy Bees now for nearly 8 months and we cannot fault the nursery at all. Since attending, his development has just come on leaps and bounds and the staff are always finding new activities and games to promote learning and development. The staff in Bombos room are second to none. As first-time parents, they have given us so much support and advice, and thoroughly update us every day at pick up on what our son has been up to. The food menu is impressive - sometimes the dishes are a bit ambitious for toddlers but we really appreciate the diverse foods offered and know that he has been fed well throughout the day! We have always been happy with Busy Bees but since the new manager started it has become even better. Communication with parents is really good and she is really involved with all the staff and children.

We were on the verge of leaving Busy Bees under the last management because it was honestly terrible and nothing was getting done for my child. But after the new manager started, things completely turned around very fast. What an incredible addition to the Busy Bees family! She has made such a difference in our lives that I can't even explain. Suddenly my boy has all of the support he needs and is thriving, he is a different child from the one that he was before she started. She gets stuff done and she is also very approachable and friendly, unlike the last manager. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place now and it is all thanks to the new management. She really did make an unspeakable difference to us and our little boy in an extremely stressful and hard time. We can't thank her enough for that and we are very thankful to have her. The staff's attitude has completely changed and the atmosphere is totally different. They are just amazing!

My son has been coming to Busy Bees since he was around 4 months old. Initially, as a first-time parent, I was feeling very nervous and unsure. However, I cannot express how fantastic Busy Bees staff have been. Staff are friendly, caring and willing to help as much as possible, even at short notice. Staff will go above and beyond. I could not recommend the nursery more. Busy Bees have made me feel at such ease and it is a pleasure to send my little boy here. I could say so much more, but I am limited. I also want to say thank you. My son loves coming here.
23 March 2023
Both my children attend Busy Bees and we can't fault it. We recommended it to my sister-in-law and now even my nephew attends. The staff are fantastic and the manager is understanding and accommodating. My son is very intelligent for his age and the staff are great at finding ways to stimulate him further with different activities. 10/10 recommend.
17 March 2023
From the first day, our daughter has loved every day of her time at Busy Bees. The staff have been friendly, attentive, caring and kind. Our daughter has made so many lovely friends and has been treated as an individual, not a job or a number. I really can't fault our experience and with another child on the way we will be using Busy Bees for years to come!
24 March 2022
Very happy with my daughter's care and progress. She is usually more than happy to attend and talks about her friends there and staff members. Since changes due to covid, we haven't been into the nursery for some time. It would be nice to see where she eats, sleeps etc. Maybe someone could do a virtual tour of each stage? (without the children present obviously). Thanks

We have used Busy Bees in Brough, for our three boys since 2016 and cannot fault them. Over the last few years, we are even happier with the care the boys receive. The team are passionate, caring and kind. They have dealt with lockdown rules, safely but have continued to put the children first. We know our boys are safe, happy and well-fed at Busy Bees! Thank you!

My little girl has been attending this nursery for five months now. I cannot fault the care that she has received. Happy baby, happy parents. The staff are very friendly and informative.

Overall good experience with friendly staff. The odd incident where accidents have taken place but nothing major. The drop off’s and collections are an absolute nightmare which are never looked forward to as the nursery doorbells are broken 99% of the time, leaving parents stood outside for much longer than what is acceptable. I’ve personally waited 20 minutes and my husband has waited 25 minutes to collect our child and there were less than a handful of other parents present (it wasn’t busy).

My daughter has attended Busy Bees in Brough for almost two years, unfortunately, we are moving from the area and there are no Busy Bees close to where we are moving or she would have definitely gone there. The staff have been brilliant especially with the new procedures in place due to covid. My son attended the nursery eight years ago and knew my daughter would love it there too. She has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the staff at Busy Bees.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! My daughter attended her old nursery for a year and she never truly settled and we had quite a few issues with them. From the moment she started at Busy Bees in Brough I cannot believe how well she's settled in and bonded with the staff, her little face lights up when we go to nursery and she comes out full of smiles, they are absolutely brilliant with her and I'm so happy I've found the perfect nursery for her, she even asks to go in on her one day off each week! Absolutely amazing nursery, happy mum and happy child.
24 March 2020
My daughter has recently started in the baby room. We looked around many nurseries before choosing Busy Bees. We were instantly drawn to the "home from home" feel of the nursery. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and we felt happy leaving our daughter knowing that she would be cared for and engaged in exciting activities. We were recommended to Busy Bees by friends and family and we, in turn, would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality childcare.
10 September 2019
I Would not recommend this nursery to anyone. The list is endless as to why not. Endless complaints about the daily running of the nursery. Communication is appalling between management and parents.
