Busy Bees at Lightwater

My daughter attended this nursery for 2 years and I’m very happy with the quality of care and support the team provided her and my family. The team respect the company values and aims providing great quality of care.

My daughter had a great connection with all the staff and enjoyed her time there. The team have been great through out the pandemic, balancing the new rules and still being able to provided the highest of care to the children. A highly recommended nursery. The manager Emma Crowley runs the nursery with great pride and drives her team amazingly, would never have found a better manager then her.

An amazing nursery and an amazing team! My eldest daughter came here from the age of 8 and half months and is now off to school. She has absolutely loved her time at nursery from the staff yo the wonderful activities that are carried out. My youngest still attends and also loves her time here and has a great relationship with all the staff. The nursery management and team always keep you updated of any important information or any events coming up! Hoping and looking to send baby number 3 here too as we love the nursery and everyone so much. Thank you. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing nursery. My son has been going since January and he absolutely loves it. The staff are all so friendly and caring, and they really pay attention to the individual needs of the child. No ask is ever too much for them. The outdoor space is great and they spend alot of time outside which is something I love about the nursery. They also do lots of different activities such as painting and creative play. They dealt with the recent shutdown exceptionally well, and I have complete confidence in all the measures they have put in place since reopening, always prioritising both the needs of the children and the necessary safety measures.

A wonderful nursery! Our son loves the place, the staff, other children, the food. We get updates all day that he's there. We put him in another Busy Bees when we moved because it was so lovely and we knew what we were getting. The activities are always fun and engaging and educational and when the weather is warmer they're always going outside to play.

Can’t say enough great things about this nursery. My son has been going here since January and has loved it - always smiling at pick up. The staff and teachers are friendly and attentive. There are lots of daily activities, crafts, and outdoor playtime. They are also flexible with my part-time work schedule, allowing for half days.

This nursery feels like an extended part of our family. Our eldest son has been at Major Minors for almost two years (from 9 months old) and nursery days are, honestly, his favourite days. Every member of staff oozes care, love and enthusiasm, which is what we look for in those that take care of our children, at such a young age.
We believe that early education sets the foundation for all future learning and when a child experiences success, they continue to want to learn. The variety of opportunities for success given to our son, at this nursery, have ensured he is always ready and keen to engage in activities with other children (or adults) or independently.
We can’t thank, or recommend, Emma and her team enough! We look forward to starting our journey with Major Minors again, with our youngest son, in September.

My son attends this day nursery. The manager and her staff are well trained, passionate and attentive. They really care about the children and how they develop and i would highly recommend this fantastic nursery to anyone considering daycare for their child.
Worth every penny.

Major Minors have been amazing with my sons care and needs and have really brought him out of his shell.
They have been very supportive with regards to his hours when he was struggling with his lunchtime sleep and drop off times clashing. He was able to start slightly earlier so he was with the other children for lunch and felt included with the group then he went to sleep with the others which made things easier and meant he wasn't sleeping really late in the day.
The staff are so friendly and my son loves going to Major Minors. Really grateful for all the support they offer.

My son settled quite well in the atmosphere, very happy and enthusiastic to go to nursery, engaging with different activities every day and noticed good overall development. Excellent and compassionate staff.

My 2 year old son is currently at the Nursery and loves going there. All the staff are friendly, caring and know each child. It has a great friendly but professional feel. Would highly recommend.

My Daughter loves coming here. The Staff are great, always keeping the children interested with different activities and still managing to integrate an element of learning within the fun.

My son has been going here since before he was 1 year old. They are incredibly caring and great at helping their development, he’s really happy here. And they’ve done a great job at keeping us informed and supported during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Multiple incidents on my children’s first day which lead to me removing them from the nursery and having to make a formal complaint to the nursery and Ofsted. Personally wouldn’t recommend this nursery after my experience and would not trust them with my children ever again.
