Busy Bees at Oxford

My son has been here since he was 1.5 years old and is now about to graduate. He's loved his time at Busy bees and the teachers have been lovely, warm and encouraging. The facilities are clean and new and someone's always disinfecting whenever I pop over. The building is large and spacious and the children always have the option of being outside. It's also very helpful that they're open from 7.30am to 6pm. Thank you all for taking such great care of my son!

just had a tour at this nursey. everything was well organised.

The staffs are friendly, caring and my two children are very happy and settled well.

We are thrilled with the care our daughter receives at Busy Bees. She settled in so quickly (surprisingly as it was during covid and she was previously quite shy) and always comes out smiling and like she's had a good day. The staff are professional, understanding and communicative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.

Bad experience with busy bees, my daughter have a bit off spectrum, first day there my wife went to pick her up and found her crying a lot, very hungry and thirsty, her shoes was wet and her clothes was changed as the other one was wet. She missed the other 2 days as she got Ill with fever.Next week we dropped her on Tuesday for only 2 hours and we found her alright, Wednesday we dropped her there for 4 hours, when I comeback to pick her up she was unattended lost close to the bags area. When I picked her up she was all wet , i changed her clothes and one staff gave me a bag to put the wet clothes.I asked for her bag and bottle, those things was on next door room, the bottle was empty, a sign they didn’t gave her water for 4 hours as she can’t drink from a cup. At home she was desperate after water and food.I smelled the wet trouser at home and it smell urine, witch I doubt come from my daughter. We took her out of this place and trying to work opposite shifts so we can look after our little one.The doctor asked us to find a place for her so she could improve her cognition with other kids but after busy bees we are scared to find another place.We hope they improve the standards for the safety of the kids, specially the ones with spectrum.

A big, big thank you to the manager, Alanah. She was extremely professional and prompt in answering our questions, handling our application, and basically making it easy for two busy parents to get their child into nursery.Our plans changed, as we ended up moving to another part of Oxford, so I can only comment on the application side of things. But if our experience with Alanah was any indication, the rest of the nursery must be a great place to check out for your children!

Excellent nursery, staff are incredibly positive, happy and warm without fail every day. Every member of the team clearly work so hard to provide exemplary, child centred care. The nursery is always kept incredibly clean, the food is of excellent quality and there are so many activities catered to each stage of development within the different age group rooms. The app for parents to log in to to get daily updates is brilliant, along with detailed daily handovers in person. Well done all of the team for doing such a great job everyday!

Busy Bees Littlemore was 2nd home to our daughter for over 2 years.She loved it there and we saw huge developments in her communication and social skills.The staff are all friendly and like family. The nursery manager Kirran has set a very good culture. Highly recommended.
