Busy Bees Spital

My little girl and baby of eight weeks started at Busy Bees at Spital in September. They have grown and developed so much in such a short amount of time, all due to the incredibly caring and hard-working staff members throughout the nursery. My children love coming to nursery and always come home saying new words or with something lovely to show Mummy and Daddy. I love being able to have up to date, regular observations on my children so I know they are on track and its always nice to see what they get up to on a day to day basis. I would highly recommend this nursery to family and friends who want a safe and nurturing environment for their little ones to grow and thrive.

I really do love this nursery. It’s now my youngest child’s turn to experience the magical years there. From the moment she started, she absolutely loves it! I know the staff anyway from the 5 years my eldest spent there and it’s just even more special to be doing it again. The staff have welcomed my youngest as they did my eldest and care for them so much. The staff mean so much to our little ones and they form such lovely relationships. The nursery is a happy, bright and friendly place. If ever I need to discuss anything, I can, and the staff are more than willing to help. The nursery adapted very well to the pandemic too. As parents we do really miss entering the building, seeing other parents, hearing children having fun, seeing the children in their rooms. However, we understand why. The new communication system, ParentZone is in my opinion the best one yet. I see photos of the room/activities and my child. I know throughout the day what she’s eaten, nappy etc. Fantastic!

Our sons have been in the nursery for two years and in that time we have found all staff friendly and professional and caring. Settling is great and outdoor space great.

I wouldn't dream of sending my children anywhere else, they love it that much they always ask on their days off if they can go.

My daughter has recently started at this nursery and I am very pleased with how she has settled. I found the settling in sessions very beneficial for both my daughter and myself to get to know the nursery. Management are approachable and have effectively answered queries.

Daisy and Jake staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My son has learnt so much whilst being at nursery. Also, they are really good with ensuring my son is always happy when in nursery and I always get to take home a lovely picture that he's made for 'mummy and daddy'. He eats a lovely variety of food every day.

Daisy and Jake has really helped my son come on leaps and bounds, his understanding about new things is amazing all thanks to the staff and the all-round teaching and learning. The staff all make me feel happy, they are all so polite and welcoming. My son's tapestry is always up to date and it's really nice to see his progress and how much he is coming along.

My daughter's keyperson is really good. She supports her in all areas of learning. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend this nursery to friends. I find the management is very helpful when I need extra sessions. They go that extra mile to support me as parents.

Thanks to all staff for the amazing job you do and especially to our son's key workers over the years in the baby room, toddlers and preschool rooms and also to other key workers with a big influence - We can’t thank you enough for helping him grow into the amazing big boy he is and getting him ready for big school! Thank you.

My daughter really enjoys coming to nursery. She's grown up with supportive and encouraging staff throughout her experience. My daughter has transitioned from being in the baby room and currently in preschool. I feel happy with her journey and development. There are knowledgeable points of contact throughout the company and always someone to talk to about any queries.

My daughter is in the process moving through to toddler room and I have no worries as I've spoken to and met her new key worker and feel comfortable leaving her in her new room next week. The girls are excellent.

I have found the staff very skilled and always look out for my son. I do feel they have to look after a lot of children so a lower ratio would be better and maybe stop the younger children going into the bigger preschool, so the older children can focus more before school starts. Sometimes my son will "play up" because he is bored.
