Review from Lindsey B (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy Bees provided a high level of care for my son from the age of ten months to four years old.
Professional and highly motivated staff who are warm and approachable.
Well-managed teams reflect a happy environment.
My child was always well-stimulated, and he looked forward to attending each day. He built excellent relationships with his key workers and always had a big smile when I dropped him off and collected him at the end of the day.

The preschool class is outstanding and has given my child lots of skills and confidence, which he has taken forward to F2. Thank you, Busy Bees Spital.

Overall Experience
My son went to Busy Bees from age 2 to 4 and he absolutely loved it! The staff are brilliant. He had the same key person throughout and he made a really lovely bond with her, thank you. Also, all of the others are lovely too and really can't do enough for the little ones.

My little girl started recently in the baby room and has different teachers, she has settled in so well and we get regular updates on her day. The management team are lovely too. Thank you Busy Bees Spital, I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience
I can honestly say Busy Bees Spital is fabulous, I can't speak highly enough of all the staff from the manager, she is friendly, professional and really cares about the children, as do all the staff.
Every day is a learning experience, my daughter loved it and she loved her key person, they go above and beyond to ensure the children are engaged, happy and safe. Always planning activities from bug hunting in the garden to sports activities and fun pyjama days. The calendar is filled with things to bring the children together to learn and celebrate.
My daughter loved the environment and gained so much confidence thanks to the time and effort put in by her key person and all the pre-school staff she is ready for big school.

I highly recommend Busy Bees Spital and I'm grateful to have been able to have the peace of mind of dropping my daughter off every morning knowing that she was safe happy and cared for.

Review from Sean O (Father of Child) published on 22 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Absolutely amazing! All 3 members of staff in Bombos 1 go above and beyond for my child, the staff from the relief team and from other rooms are also amazing when asked to cover in the room/be in there. All staff who work with my child continuously support his development and encourage him consistently, they listen to my queries and are always the most genuinely lovely people! The Centre Director goes above and beyond consistently and always has a smile and is always happy to help! And the Assistant Centre Director is very warm and welcoming, she greets every child by name (as do most staff) and is again always happy to help!

The ladies from Bombos 1 are always so understanding, they put my mind at ease and give my child the best experience! Busy Bees Spital is absolutely an amazing centre with so many different opportunities for my child day in and day out as well as all of the other children!

Overall Experience

Since my daughter started, the staff have been amazing. They have cared for her and given her all the extra cuddles she needs. My daughter had never left me before so it's been amazing to see her gain a bond with others and to trust them. Her key worker and one other staff member, in particular, are amazing and so caring and lovely. My daughter's key worker has time for her and gives her the extra comfort she needs.

Overall Experience

My son started preschool in January 2023. The girls and the manager have been great. When I come there is a warm feeling, all the staff are friendly. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my son. I would highly recommend Spital, Busy Bees to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

Review from Nikki J (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Spital since November 2020. There was a rocky period (like with most businesses) during the aftermath of COVID and if you speak to parents who were affected by that period please do not listen to their opinion as the nursery has come so far since then. The nursery is wonderful and they truly care for your child. I have found the pre school to be particularly brilliant in that they enrich the older children, it is not just come in and be left to play. My daughter who is 3 can write her name, recognises every letter in the alphabet and has started spelling simple words. She only attends 2 days a week! She loves all the teachers in her room especially her key worker who is always so welcoming and informative upon pick up. All the key workers in each room have been amazing with my daughter. I will be so sad to leave the nursery this year after having both my daughters attend over a period of 7 years and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son loves it here. He is part of their baby room and they are amazing with him. He hates coming home and his face lights up seeing the building. They keep me up to date with his day in real-time sleep, food, nappy changes and even photos of him having the best time through the app. Girls, you're amazing.

My child has started in the lower pre school room (BUZZ 1) after having a bad experience at another nursery. The staff are always so supportive on drop off and give great feedback. I have already seen her flourishing and I know she is happy there and that's all I need to know!

Review from Stephanie Ellen H (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Busy Bees for almost a year now and skips into there, happily, every day. She has come on leaps and bounds and surprises us every day with everything she is learning while she is there! Her key worker is absolutely lovely and she loves her. We feel so happy and comfortable when she goes in. All of the staff members are more than happy to help and the new centre director who took over in the summer is much better than the previous one. You can really see the positive difference she's installed into everything in the nursery. There's always so much on at the nursery and exciting activities for the children to be a part of. Keep doing what you're doing guys!

Review from Ruth M (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one started Busy Bees, Spital in April 2022 - Since the centre director and assistant centre director have taken over as management, we have been over the moon with our experience at Busy Bees, Spital! Our 15-month-old is coming on great with the new Spital team. I drop him off knowing he is going to be looked after perfectly in the baby room. The centre director and assistant centre director are both regularly visible around the centre, often greeting parents at the door and saying hello to the little ones. It's nice to see the management team involved around the centre, being friendly at drop off and pick up and getting to know the families, well. Staff in the baby room make extra effort to get to know the babies, which has helped my little one build his confidence and develop so quickly! Thanks so much to three members of staff, in particular, you all deserve a duvet day.

It’s a huge decision to put your children in nursery but it’s more like leaving them with extended family. They provide you with all the updates throughout the day via the app. I also wish I could come for mealtimes. What a menu!

Thank you for everything!

Overall Experience

The staff have been absolutely wonderful with my son, but it's time for him to move onto big boy school. They have adhered to strict Covid rules and informed all the parents of any case straight away. They have played a critical role in the development of my son's progress and my son is always excited to go to school, which shows he loves it there also.

Both my children love coming to this excellent and beautiful nursery, they are very well cared for here by their brilliant teachers. They have formed great friendships with other children and their teachers. The nursery has also been so accommodating with their flexibility and support especially during this pandemic and our busy work schedules. Thank you so much for all your hard work and love.

Our daughter absolutely loves nursery. We have felt very safe sending her in during the pandemic as the staff have kept us up to date regularly and we see them all working hard to keep everyone safe. The staff in Toddlers and in the office are so helpful and lovely. Our daughter regularly talks about them which is lovely to hear. We are looking forward to sending our son when he is ready.

Great nursery that's really helped my three year old daughter to develop all the skills she'll need, ready to start full time education. All the staff were approachable, friendly and really got to know my daughter. This includes the admin staff who always answered queries efficiently. All the best to everyone there for the future. Thanks for everything.

Overall Experience

Our son loves Busy Bees at Spital. For any child it's difficult and he struggled with separation from us at first but he loves it now and looks forward to going. The range of activities they provide is great and they really look after him with his food. I in particular love the parent app as I find out what he's eaten, what he's been doing and anything else necessary without having to pester the staff. We love sending him there and we will be sending our younger twins there as soon as we can. Thanks for everything Busy Bees at Spital.

Overall Experience

My little boy joined Busy Bees at Spital in September. As a parent, not only is there the worry of your child going to nursery for the first time but also during a pandemic, well I need not of worried. The staff at the nursery have been fantastic! Ensuring that all measures are adhered to, the safety of staff, children and parents and all whilst maintaining a great level of trust and reassurance to parents. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds in the six months he has been at nursery. The app is brilliant, and it's great to see what your little one is up to throughout the day. I could not recommend the nursery enough. My little one is shortly due to progress to the next room and the staff are ensuring this is a smooth transition whilst still adhering to Covid-19 guidelines. Thank you so much to the team at Busy Bees at Spital.

Review from Holly D (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My first daughter was looked after by grandparents and unfortunately, this hasn't been able to happen the second time around, so we had to look at nurseries. My daughter has been there well over a year now and we haven't looked back. My biggest love for the nursery is the staff, they are incredible and really treat the children like their own. The Covid-19 controls that were introduced have been safe, enforced and above all else realistic. Would definitely give the nursery five stars.

Overall Experience

I cannot tell you how much of a paranoid first-time mummy I was when I first came to the nursery. All of the girls are absolutely fantastic and my daughter loves them. I needn’t have worried because they are excellent with her and so patient with me and my many questions. Their professionalism is second to none and they genuinely care for our children. There is always an activity going on and I get regular updates about what my daughter is doing throughout the day. Each key worker has three children which I think is a perfect ratio. I would highly recommend the nursery and have to say a huge huge thank you to every one of the staff who have taken care of my daughter, I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know!
