I am very happy with the nursery especially throughout the COVID period they were able to accommodate my needs and continue to keep my son safe educated and entertained enabling me to continue working.
Thank you for your kind words, we are here to support families and are proud to say we were able to do this during the lockdown period also. The staff take great pride in educating the children and I am proud of my staff team.
My son loves going to nursery and that is a result of the kind and caring staff. His day is varied and fun, I see changes in his development all of the time as a result of the time he spends at nursery. My daughter recently attended Bees Knees as well after her nursery closed and again the staff were patient and kind as she transitioned at very short notice into a new setting. I would recommend the nursery to everyone.
Thank you for your kind words, we take great pride in what we do here at Bees Knees.
My child has been going here since last September 2019. It has good and caring staff. Good food as well as great ways of teaching things. I definitely recommend it.
Thank you for such kind words, we really appreciate all the feedback we get.
Both our boys have attended Bees Knees and loved it. They've made loads of friends and the staff take a great interest in their development and wellbeing. The management team are fantastic and great at communicating events and activities happening at nursery. The boys loved the food from the on-site cook and we are confident they are getting a nutritious diet. Overall we are happy with Bee Knees and so are our boys.
My child has been in nursery for nearly a year. He started at 5 months old and the staff are lovely and looked after him so well. I also get regular updates for activities and his progress. My son really looks happy in the nursery but what I would really like to highlight is the family support. Having experienced a situation of immense stress, I had excellent support from this nursery. Thank you very much for everything.
Thank you for your kind words, we are here for all the family, not just the child that attends.
So pleased we chose for him to go to this nursery.
The longer working hours are a big plus for full time working parents, and the fact that the food is varied and cooked on site is also a great feature.
I would definitely recommend this nursery!
My son has been attending this nursery for almost a year. I could not have chosen better, it is very spacious outside and with several rooms inside. Homemade food and professional staff and above all, he is happy every time I accompany him. Thank you, Bees Knees.
Thank you for your kind words, we all enjoy what we do here.
My son has been attending this nursery for a year now. It was recommended by a friend who also has a child attending. My son loves going, he is well looked after and does loads of different activities. His favourite seems to be going out in the garden. The facilities are good, the children have a huge garden to play in and indoors there are lots of different toys/activities to do if the weather is awful or too hot. I especially love the updates from the staff and the photos during the day. I’ve recommended this nursery to a friend of mine who is thinking of putting her child in.
Thank you for your review.
I honestly can say the girls are absolutely fab. We all felt so welcome. Our baby girl settled in straight away and loves being there, making new friends and having a great bond with her key workers.
The food they serve is nutritious and she has adapted so well and tries everything.
They do lots of activities, lots of learning, her character is coming on leaps and bounds every day, she goes in happy and leaves content. I can not recommend them enough.
Thank you very much for your feedback,
He developed a good relationship with all of the staff and he's making friends.
All the staff are really kind and attentive to detail.
Thank you for your feedback, it is always welcomed.
I'm very happy and satisfied with Bees Knees. My daughter really likes it. The team is great, very helpful and friendly. My daughter's first language is not English so she had a very difficult beginning but the staff made a great effort to help her settle in.
Thank you for your feedback.
My daughter is been attending the nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it. She is very happy and settled well through starting and room change when she turned 2. My daughter is catered for very well with all her needs met, she enjoys the food eating things at nursery she doesn’t at home! Management are very welcoming always with a smile and will help with any questions or queries we have. Would highly recommend to others and staff are lovely and helpful!
My son loves the nursery. They take good care of him and he is learning a lot and making friends and I like how they communicate with me on that parent zone, about things he did each day. The carers are very nice and friendly. The meals are OK.
Great outdoor space for active kids like mine, which is great. Happy Bubbly environment.
My son is attending to this nursery since he was 8months, he's now almost 4years old and he loves this place! Staff is really warm and helpful. Nursery atmosphere is so lovely. They've got lots of different activities and every child can find something for themselves. I'm going to sign my younger son to this nursery when I need to go back to work.
We are talking both of our kids to this nursery. The staff are friendly and professional. It is a nurturing and happy environment with a lovely atmosphere. They are introduced to a wide range of activities and have lots of fun. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Since being at Nursery he has come on in leaps and bounds - from learning to self-settle to walking and climbing, his time at Nursery really helps his development. The staff are always warm and friendly and listen to your views and work with you on goals. The portal is also great so we can see what he is up to each day. The admin at Head Office can take a while to get things set up but the Nursery is very good and the long opening hours are essential.
My daughter has been attending this nursery only for a short while, whilst her previous nursery messed up. The staff have been warm, attentive and really made her feel welcome. The garden is awesome, she is learning loads and is a super fan of French. The only negative has been the billing for 30hours funding. Each monthly bill is different which makes it hard to budget. But overall, what a lovely nursery.
I’d 100% give this nursery 10/10.
