Busy Bees Canterbury

Our now toddler has been attending Busy Bees since he was 10 months old. We've been very happy with the care - everyone is lovely and helpful. Our toddler is very fond of them too - as soon as he started saying words he learnt names of the staff, and would tell us at home. We can tell he feels happy and secure with them. The app has lots of updates, and sometimes photos too so we get to have a glimpse of our toddler's day. I feel my child is safe and happy, and this puts my mind at ease as I work. Thanks!

My son started at Busy Bees around two years ago. They had a good process with helping him settle. He loves going there. The staff are always happy to talk through how his day has been when I collect him. The app is working quite nicely with meal updates and photos. Staff have also put in extra support when needed. I would recommend this nursery.

In general, I have enjoyed the communication between the nursery and parents.

My child has been attending this nursery for the last three years and recently my 10-month-old has been admitted. Both my kids love being there and are very well looked after. The staff are amazing and very friendly. Never had any complaints. Truly an amazing place.

My daughter has absolutely thrived at this nursery and is so confident and happy, as a result. We have just had another baby and reserved our space early to ensure she would be able to attend too. Feeling confident and having a safe, happy environment for your children to attend, while at work, is so important and I have felt this from day one with the team at Busy Bees, Canterbury! Thank you to the centre director, assistant centre director and team!

The staff genuinely care about the children in their care. My son is very confident at going to nursery and playing with his friends. Enjoy seeing photos of him throughout the week doing different activities.

Busy Bees is a really friendly place, and the staff are wonderful. The pre-school room (Bluebells) has been a particular delight. The food is varied, nutritious and homemade every day. My son runs to nursery in the morning!

My son has thrived at Busy Bees at Canterbury. He started at twelve months and will be leaving for school this September, we have both had many happy years here. The nursery is welcoming and supportive. He is encouraged to play and learn. I feel confident and comfortable that he is in safe hands. Thanks to the manager and all my sons amazing key workers, especially two of them who have given him the most amazing start in life.

Both of my children attend Busy Bees at Canterbury and have fun packed busy days, surrounded by friends and caring staff. The app is brilliant to find out how your little one is doing throughout the day and drop offs and pickups are always great to pass on any information. The staff are always willing to listen and support.

Our child has thrived in Busy Bees at Canterbury despite starting in a pandemic! The staff have become an extended family, where he can't see his own. We are very thankful for the care they have provided. The updates we get through the app are also great.

I have a three year old daughter and one year old son who have both attended Busy Bees at Canterbury since they were nine months old. The staff, facilities, including an amazing garden and varied, freshly cooked food all ensure that they are not only happy in such an engaging environment but also that their development excels. I cannot rate Busy Bees at Canterbury highly enough and am so grateful to the wonderful staff for taking such good care of our children.

My daughter has been at this nursury since she was six weeks old, five weeks for settling. She is five this year. The standard of care she has had though her journey has been above and beyond. Each room has been a change but in a positive way, the nursery and staff have nurtured my daughter, supporting her confidence and supporting her growth. The food given daily is fantastic and prepped on site and this was one of the pull factors to this nursery when viewing five years ago. Highly recommend. The coronavirus pandemic has been difficult for us all but the nursery has been able to keep some of the normality for the children, whilst ensuring processes are in place. My daughter has continued to thrive despite what’s happening in the world. Highly recommend. My daughter is ready to start school and is being prepared by her key worker and staff in her room.

We couldn't rate Busy Bees at Canterbury any higher. The facilities, resources, activities, outside garden area and food are all great. But the real asset is the team. Everyone from the management, the chef and especially the teams in the rooms are outstanding. They really care for every child's needs, forming lovely bonds. Everything they do is based around play alongside learning and we have really seen development steps leap forward with almost every session. And we also feel very safe - internal care is first class but so are the safeguarding measures in place. We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees and the team and are so glad we found them.

My daughter is three years old and has been attending Busy Bees since she was one. Whilst it took a while for her to settle in, the team supported her well to ensure she felt confident in her new surroundings. Since then she has gone from strength to strength and now thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery. The care and attention shown by the staff are second to none and, as a parent, I feel happy that my daughter is well looked after and offered a variety of educational and fun activities.

As a mother of Twins, Busy Bees have shown so much commitment and treated them as individuals. They recognise individuals and that both children have different needs and they have become so confident in all areas of development. The keyworkers are all lovely and so easy to talk to and express any concerns. The twins love going to nursery, they participate in many different activities, it is truly is a lovely environment for children to grow and learn and prepares them well for the life of school. Something we have had a great encouragement and support with.

I feel happy knowing that she will have a great day every day and that she is being looked after well.

Both my girls will have gone through this nursery, from the baby room to the pre-school room and we have found it brilliant. My younger daughter is currently in Snowdrops and has been incredibly happy and settled, even during the transitions to new rooms. Her key people have always been thoughtful, committed and sensitive to her needs and we did not have a moment’s hesitation in sending her, especially having seen her sister so happy. The staff are approachable, kind and sensible and the garden space is brilliant for little ones. I can’t recommend it highly enough and think it’s worth every penny!

My daughter is so happy at Busy Bees at Canterbury. The staff are excellent, clearly well trained and there is a very consistent approach from all staff to all children. It’s an all hands on deck approach which means I’ve met many staff and it’s given me a wider view of the nursery staff even though my daughter has only been in the baby room so far. It was highly recommended to me and i will ensure I highly recommend it to anyone else in need of a nursery! Great team, lovely caring people.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends and family.

To the parents out there who live in or near Canterbury, I highly recommend Busy Bees at Canterbury Nursery.

What's not to Love.....the whole place is incredible! The facilities are great, the staff are amazing, big garden and it is a highly effective learning environment.

My 22-month-old daughter has been going here since she was 6 months old and it was the best decision we made, as she is the most confident, caring and cleverest girl ever!! Obviously us as parents have a massive influence on this but I don't want to take all the credit as I really do feel the Busy Bees at Canterbury have indeed been a huge factor in the way she has grown up, they really do nurture and help your children develop in so many ways, not just look after your children. This fact alone really does set it apart from the rest.

My recently born son will also be joining the nursery next year and I look forward to seeing him enjoy it as much as my daughter does!
