We were quite nervous to send our second daughter to a nursery as our eldest had a bad experience in a different setting, but oh my goodness Busy Bees Barlborough has more than restored our faith! This is a brilliant setting with absolutely amazing staff. They all go above and beyond and have provided outstanding care for our little one. She has gone from being a shy little wallflower who cried when we dropped her off to running in happily, chatting none stop about the staff and her little friends! We are so grateful to all of the staff who work tirelessly to meet all of the children’s varying needs (and I know how hard this is as I work as an Infant School teacher). Special shout out to all staff in Bumbles room and Buzz 1 - you are all amazing! We will miss you all, thank you for your endless positivity and being such a friendly face to see each day. We feel so sad that yesterday was Ava’s last day but we know she will thrive at school and a lot of that is down to the care, support and guidance you have given her. Thank you again Busy Bees Barlborough - you really are awesome!!!",

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

All children develop an extremely positive attitude to learning, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND are very well supported at the nursery. Staff engage extremely well with parents, schools and other professionals to ensure that every child makes substantial progress from their starting points.

Outdoor space

When playing outside, children show immense excitement as they use telescopes to search for characters from a much-loved story. Staff use careful questioning techniques to fully promote active learning and enhance children's understanding of the story and characters.

What an amazing nursery full of amazing people! We were quite nervous to send our second daughter to a nursery as our eldest had a bad experience in a different setting, but oh my goodness Busy Bees Barlborough has more than restored our faith! This is a brilliant setting with absolutely amazing staff. They all go above and beyond and have provided outstanding care for our little one. She has gone from being a shy little wallflower who cried when we dropped her off to running in happily, chatting none stop about the staff and her little friends! We are so grateful to all of the staff who work tirelessly to meet all of the children’s varying needs (and I know how hard this is as I work as an Infant School teacher). Special shout out to all staff in Bumbles room and Buzz 1 - you are all amazing! We will miss you all, thank you for your endless positivity and being such a friendly face to see each day. We feel so sad that yesterday was Ava’s last day but we know she will thrive at school and a lot of that is down to the care, support and guidance you have given her. Thank you again Busy Bees Barlborough - you really are awesome!!!

My daughter who is 1 year old has been going since August has thrived since attending the nursery. Her social skills have improved significantly and she is making so much more noise now which we love. The care and attention she receives is fabulous and they were very quick to react when she was unwell. It's an extremely good value for money nursery with professional friendly staff! I wouldn't want my little girl to go anywhere else! Fabulous nursery!

My son love to go to this nursery. Lovely manager and staff. Our boy developed a lot since started to go to this nursery. Asking if he can start his breakfast in the morning and showing some great new vocabulary. Definitely good choice and you will put your child in good hands. Manager Stacey is one of the most polite easy going person in the world. Every conversation is taken seriously and cooperation between parents and nursery is very good. Highly recommend

My Daughter absolutely loves busy bee's! The staff are amazing Evan in this difficult time. They are so welcoming and friendly. All the children I see when dropping and picking up my daughter are all smiles and are excited. I feel super relaxed when dropping off because I know they will look after my daughter and she will have an amazing time. Because of the difficulty and not being able to go into the nursery or my child's room to see her enjoining herself they send home photos and lots of write up to tell you what happens during the day! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! Amazing friendly super clean extremely safe ..
