Overall Experience

Such a welcoming friendly nursery and very professional. My son has been going for over a year now and absolutely loves attending where he has made lots of friends. He is well cared for and the communication via Staff and on the app is amazing.
My son accesses a wide range of activities and bring

lots of lovely pictures home.
The food menu for the children is second to none and my sons constantly tasting new food. Can't praise the nursery enough. Thank you

Overall Experience

My child has been attending the nursery for just over 2 years. Staff are always friendly and approachable. Any concerns we have raised are addressed and an update is provided. Our child always comes out happy, confident and excited to tell us about their day. The nursery provides lots of activities

for the children to do and opportunities to try new things. The outside space is great and it's lovely that the children can freely go between outside and inside.
Communication through the nursery app also provides me with peace of mind that my child is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

Our eldest daughter has been with the nursery since summer 2022, and my youngest has recently started, and we absolutely love Bumble Bees!
Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, and both our girls are really happy there. We get good communication via the app, and staff are always happy to

discuss any concerns at drop off or pick up.
Our eldest loves the outside space, especially the trikes and scooters, and I'm amazed at how quickly our youngest has settled into the setting.
Thank you to the manager and all at Bumble Bees for giving our girls the best time whilst we're at work.

Overall Experience

Was very pleased on my visit. The staff are lovely and friendly and from what I can see are very good with all the children, which makes you feel at ease, straight away. The facility looks fantastic with lots of different areas indoors and outdoors for the children to play. My 2-year-old loves going

to this playgroup two mornings a week and is always so eager to go in, ready and waiting at the gate. (Trying to put the code in at the gate himself). It's so nice to see him so happy going in and always smiling coming out when I pick him up. I would definitely recommend this playgroup to every parent that's looking for one.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff. Great communication between parents and staff. Understanding the child's health, if there are any issues they have. They have a great routine, my child is eating more new stuff. I have a happy child every time she comes out of nursery. All in all, just amazing.

Our child has been attending this nursery for over a year now. The staff are excellent and he really enjoys going. We had a chance to look around the nursery the other day (couldn’t view it previously due to Covid restrictions) and we were very impressed. Lots of different activities (indoors and outdoors)

for the children to get involved with.

Overall Experience

Bumble Bees is an excellent nursery! My daughter looks forward to nursery every day and has developed a lovely relationship with all members of staff, who are extremely caring and welcoming. When my daughter first started, it was during covid, so the opportunity to see the setting wasn't possible, but

parents were recently invited to an open evening to explore and talk about the themes and activities the children participate in, which emphasised how good a nursery Bumble Bees is. My daughter was really excited and proud to show me around and didn't want to leave. I would strongly recommend Bumble Bees to any parent looking for childcare.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Barry Bumble Bees since January 2022. As a parent, I was apprehensive about her starting something new but my goodness there really was no need to worry. I was so happy after I left the setting when registering. The manager was reassuring and answered all questions before

me asking! 6 months later and my daughter’s come on leaps and bounds, always happy to walk into ‘school’ and talk about her day afterwards. The staff are great in all aspects eg communication, caring for my child and teaching her life skills. I really couldn’t recommend Barry Bumble Bees enough. I’m so happy that I plan to continue to have my daughter at the setting at the same time she starts bigger school either mornings or afternoons. My child is happy which makes me happy! Thank you everyone at Little Inspirations - Barry Bumble Bees!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Barry (Bumble Bees) Little Inspirations since September 2020 and will be leaving in September 2022 to go to full-time school. His time there has been wonderful; he is always happy to go there, is greeted by staff very warmly and enjoys all the activities they do there. He became

a fussy eater during his time there, but they dealt with it very professionally and caring and they adapted his meal plan accordingly which was very reassuring. The facilities are really great, especially the garden and outdoor classroom, my son loves playing outdoors and adored the new space. The app is also amazing; staff can send updates and pictures of your child and it details exactly what they have eaten and how much. I believe it also tells you about nappy changes etc, but my son was out of nappies when he started. From my point of view, I have been very impressed with the support both myself and my son have received at Little Inspirations and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

A really nice little nursery. My daughter loves going and always has something nice to say when she comes home. The staff are friendly and keep us up to date on my daughter's day-to-day. There's a great and varied indoor play space and a large outdoor play space.

I cannot fault Little Inspirations Bumble Bees at all. The care they provide is exemplary. My child loves attending and I feel happy knowing he is well looked after. The activities are linked wonderfully to learning and development and I am kept updated on my child progress.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely nursery, my little girl always has a smile on her face every morning when greeted at the gate. She smiles at all the staff members and is clearly very happy being led inside. I was very impressed with the effort put in by the staff to get to know my little girl when she first started

and this has clearly paid off. The app is a great tool that allows me to monitor what she's eaten etc. and the nursery staff always make an effort to take photographs so I can see what she has been doing. My little girl always comes home with artwork/crafts which she is very proud of and happily displays at home. A lovely nursery that I would happily recommend.

My little girl has been coming to the nursery since April. The staff are all lovely, they made her feel so at home and settled her in really well. The app is brilliant for sending messages to the nursery and for checking in on my daughter. I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

I put my child in the nursery last year we were going through the pandemic so I could start a new job! Staff look after my son extremely well especially with my son being born 6 weeks early and few complications, also as a mother who was diagnosed with postnatal anxiety and PTSD after a traumatic birth

the nursery staff have welcomed my son into nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds, my son is now just over 2 years old, his learning and speaking and have come on so good. I love the Family App on my phone so I know what he has eaten that day and what he getting up to, you might see some photos of your child playing which they put on the Family app, which is personal to you and private. I love this nursery so much I love taking my boy to nursery with a smile on his face knowing he is going to have a good time with all his friends and learning. Also when I pick him up he is so happy to see me and also sad that he is leaving his friends behind. Lovely nursery, the best one I've put him in.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Little Inspirations from 18 months old and then transferred to Bumble Bees after he turned 2 years old. He has loved every second at both nurseries and has been made to feel welcome from day one. The staff have been so helpful and reassuring with my questions and queries and

have been so caring and kind towards him. Always welcoming him each day with a warm smile. They are professional and I have never had an issue with the nursery. He always left happy and excited to go back the following day. He's now moving to big school a confident and social child and I believe it's the nursery who helped make him that way! Thank you for all that you have done for him.

Overall Experience

This is my second time using this nursery as my eldest daughter also attended and loved her time here. I choose this nursery for the second time for a few reasons. I had full confidence in the security so I knew my second child would be just as safe as my first and with the pandemic, this was the reassurance

I needed. The girls there really care about the little ones and you can see that in everything they do. The meals are healthy and wholesome. I love the fact that they send you pictures of your little one's adventures throughout the week on the app. Especially now when we can't go into the room to collect them. The app is very good it shows you what your little one is up to, for example how much they have eaten, etc and it is updated throughout the day. It is easy to use and allows for almost instant contact for questions (obviously you can ring for any pressing issues). I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of using them.
