Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery first and we have placed our daughter here as well. Both came on leaps and bounds in confidence, my son had speech issues and they went out of their way to help us get the extra help we needed from the health visiting team. The staff are truly lovely, we always get an update

at the end of the day as to what our daughter has been up to, the food always sounds delicious (she eats so much more there compared to when she is at home) she has such a busy fun day. Activities always sound fun and productive to their learning and she always comes home with some wonderful crafts.

My children have recently started at Busy Bees, the girls have all gone out of there to make sure they have settled well and our routines are followed. My children go in happy and I love seeing updates of how they are getting on.

My Daughter loves going to nursery. She is always well looked after, and I always know that she always has a great time. Lovely staff and you can tell they truly care. My little one loves being outside and it's great to know she goes out and is in a safe area.

Overall Experience

Both my children have been with Busy Bees from 9 months. My oldest is now in Year 1 and she still has fond memories of being here. My son absolutely loves it here. One thing I'll always be grateful for is the how they helped us with potty training my son. I was a bit apprehensive but they reassured

me and gave me confidence, and now my son can confidently use the toilet, with the odd accident of course. They did me good with this. In instances where we are not sure of invoicing or any related issues they are quick to respond and will explain patiently.

Overall Experience

My children love nursery, the staff are so supportive at drop off and throughout the day especially when they are unsettled. The staff go above and beyond to make sure I am updated every day and always give a detailed handover at the end of session. Their confidence has come on leaps and bounds since

the beginning of nursery and we, as a family, feel supported and are very happy to send our children here. We love the use of the outside garden all year round too.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Busy Bees nursery. My son has been there for 4 months now and I'm so glad I chose Busy Bees. You're made to feel so welcome when you come in and do the drop offs and pick ups, you're always greeted by a friendly face that acknowledges me and my son. All the staff are so kind and welcoming,

my son is always fed very well there. We also have an App called ParentZone where me and my husband are able to get updates of our son throughout the day which is so lovely seeing what activities they have been doing and I love getting sent photos of him, not to mention the updates you get too of what they have had to eat, the breakfast, lunch and dinners they serve always sound so lovely too. They also have plenty of toys in the baby bit so I know my son is occupied throughout the day. When I pick my son up the staff always give updates of how he has been through out the day too. You all do a wonderful job. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Our second child is currently attending Busy Bees and we put his name down when my wife was pregnant because we loved it so much for our first child. My son loves coming to nursery, he settled in straight away at 9 months old. The staff are friendly and attentive, are happy to give advice when needed

and give regular updates throughout the day. The variety of food is brilliant as my son wasn't a great eater to start with but has come on leaps and bounds with the support of the room staff and chef. I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son has been going to Busy Bee's for the last 2 years and honestly, I can't fault them. Not only have the staff been incredibly kind, caring, supportive and nurturing to my son as he grows, learns and develops - they have given me the support as a first-time mother when I've needed it.
It's like

dropping my son off to family. They care, truly care. They know my son inside and out and I feel so comfortable having them care for him. I recommend them to everyone who mentions needing a nursery.
My son has come on incredibly both developmentally, socially and emotionally and it's thanks to the team at Busy Bee's! The manager is also just incredibly supportive with any funding difficulties. Incredible!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood since she was 7 months old. She is almost 2 years old now and I cannot fault the nursery. Staff feel like family, my daughter is so advanced for her age thanks to all the engaging educational tasks that they do there. Her keyworker is amazing and creates

tasks based on my daughter's favourite things. She is always making art and we get lovely Mother's/Father's/Valentine's crafts and cards etc. Love this nursery and so happy I chose here!

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing and really seem to care about the children. We are always welcomed in with a friendly smile and the office is always open for questions. The staff were quick to act when we raised an issue around nappies and changes. Our child is always happy at the end of the day and appears to

enjoy going to nursery. The app is usually updated frequently but even when it isn’t the staff are happy to explain what our child has been up to. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is around the menu. What our child eats is not on the menu on the website.

Overall Experience

Our youngest attends Busy Bees Nursery. He is always happy to go and is greeted cheerfully by all members of staff. Staff give good feedback at the end of each day, and the app keeps parents up to date with meals, etc. The nursery holds regular parent evenings so we can keep updated about our child's

progress, but they are happy to talk with us at any time. The nursery has great facilities and a wide range of resources, and learning is linked well to our children's interests; they like it when we let them know about our weekend or if we have days out/holidays so they can extend learning further. Our child enjoys the food that they provide, and we know as parents what and how much has been eaten each day.

Firstly my son started here when he was 8 months old and stayed until he was ready for school and I couldn’t fault them then, in fact, we were so happy with the care they provided for my son that my daughter has recently joined. They have made her first experience of a nursery and leaving us such a

positive one. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and all definitely have a child-centred approach to their care. Highly recommend!

The members of staff always put the children first. They always create lots of fun activities for the children to do. I personally enjoy seeing the photos on the app that get taken of my child and hope that carries on as they move through the different rooms.
