My Daughter has attended Busy Bees in Loughborough since August 2022. She has been in all 3 available rooms (baby, toddler and preschool). The nursery is well managed and the staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter has dietary needs and these are accommodated with no issues. The team really do have the children at the heart of everything they do. They offer fun and engaging activities throughout the day and the food available for the children is fantastic. There is alot of focus on the skills that the children will need for school but they achieve this while still making sure that it is a relaxed and happy environment. My daughter loves attending and will often come home at the end of the day full of tales of what she has been doing. Regular parents evenings also give me a chance to talk one on one with her key worker.

The Busy Bees Loughborough team are absolutely amazing. They provide such a welcoming, engaging and inviting atmosphere for parents and children. They consider the needs and learning styles of all children and provide excellent communication in regards to what the children have been up to, incidents, accidents and upcoming themed days. The team are exceptional 👏

Great staff looking after our children but the costs are high and their policy on administrating Calpol is the most ridiculous and unnecessary policy. In emergency if you carnt get back they can administer calpol then the next week they carnt. The next week they call me to see if they can administer calpol. Get your act together move forward as all other nurseries administer calpol.

A great nursery with awesome staff. The only downside is the crippling cost of childcare, which is a nationwide issue not specific to Busy Bees. In fact it's one of the cheapest in the area and is still excellent.
