Having a great experience at nursery. Everyone is very professional. Staff are friendly. Had previously had an elderly daughter at this nursery ten years ago. So all in all, the nursery has kept its standards. Keep up the good work.

My daughter has only been with this nursery for just over a month now and already I can see she really enjoys it and is developing her skills very well! I find if not every day, every week she demonstrates something new, whether it's a phrase, action, song, response or anything educational. She loves
when I tell her she is going to 'school' and is always excited to leave home knowing she is going to have fun. The staff are polite, professional and I am fond of the systems put in place, especially with COVID-19. I wish I knew about this nursery sooner!

The management and staff are very understanding to my child's needs. I was very lucky to secure a place at this nursery, as it is very friendly, bright and child friendly. My son is now two years old and is always asking to go to nursery even on the weekends. My sons speech has come along every quickly
as he interacts with all the children and knows all of the staff.

My child has settled in really well since joining the nursery. The staff have been really attentive and have reassured me every step of the way. All the staff team and management have been very warm and welcoming and everyone seems happy when I drop my child off in the morning. This really made a difference
to me.

Excellent communication from staff to parents, staff very helpful. I am extremely pleased with the care my baby is currently receiving. I am aware of all the activities my baby is involved in throughout the day. I am also informed about what she has also eaten for the day.

My son has only been at the nursery for nearly a week and he already has settled so well. He will come home and tell his older brother and grandmother all the things he did at the nursery. The staff at this nursery are amazing they bond with my child very well and treat him like he is their own child
and that is one of the things I love about this nursery.
The management also has a kind, warming spirit that makes me feel so comfortable every time I bring my son to nursery. I wish I knew about this nursery when my eldest was younger because I would have definitely brought them here.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is a pleasure to be able to take great care of your son. He will progress in his development by taking part in all of our outstanding activities.

My son has been attending Busy Bees for almost two months. In his time here I feel he has learnt good social skills, learnt what "poo poo" is and will tell me when he has soiled. He likes to sit with a book more often and has learnt math skills such as matching shapes and numbers. The staff at Busy
Bees have displayed caring and friendly attitudes towards me and my son as well as a vast pool of knowledge and experience with their own children.

My son has been attending Busy Bees for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. They are so lovely, kind and caring towards both myself and my son.
The nursery are very informative about how my son is progressing with daily handovers. They do not hesitate to call if there is a problem or my son
is ill.
Leaving your child can be a huge worry, however, I have had no worry leaving my son here and would recommend Busy Bees to my friends and family.

This is an inviting nursery, they are very welcoming and always greet my child when she arrives. They provided healthy and nutritional food, snacks and drinks, and cater for all requirements. They give me updates on my child's development. The staff are professional and helpful and provide a stable
and inviting environment for my child to learn through play. The nursery has a family atmosphere about it, which enables me to leave my daughter there knowing that she will be safe and well looked after while I'm out working.

We are absolutely delighted with this nursery. The carers, the attention, the curriculum, the routine brought out the best in our child. The changes we've noticed in him since he started here are amazing. He absolutely loves his nursery and thoroughly enjoys being there. The way we have observed carers
handling all children is fabulous and all the kids seem so happy!
A big thank you to each staff member in the toddler room for their love, understanding and patience in dealing with our child. You all will be so sorely missed! Take care and all the very best.
