My daughter started full time at Busy Bees about a month ago and the team there have been fantastic. This was a big change for my daughter and I and it is taking her some time to settle. I must say all the staff have been amazing in this process and have been so good to my daughter. She even talks about the girls all the time at home now. Besides this, my daughter has learned so much and it's a pleasure to take her to childcare, knowing she is well looked after and is learning so much. I would highly recommend this nursery.
From the beginning, the staff have been amazing. They make great efforts with my children who after only a month adore them.
He now gets so excited when he arrives and doesn't want to leave.
He eats everything they give him (which doesn't happen at home) and has really good naps.
It makes it easier going back to work knowing he is having a great time.
The food is excellent, he always eats everything. He is being prepared for reception and I think that he will transition as easy as possible, thanks to all the work that is being put in now.
Very well organised, and easy to follow their routines and very good communication.
I would definitely recommend.
The team are outstanding. They always welcome us with a smile and are so caring. Excellent report at the end of the day and I can return to work after maternity knowing that my little precious bundle is in safe hands/arms.
Lots of varied activities including going out for walks, feeding the ducks, water play and playing in the garden. The staff really care and its shines through in the work they do.
The daily menu sounds amazing. Wish I could also join for my lunch!
I have no reason not to recommend this nursery, however, I do know pros of other nurseries that I would also mention.
I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Newbury. The staff are fantastic, my little girl always comes out with a huge smile on her face. She learns lots of new things even though she only goes once a week. The food is great. She eats far more at nursery than I can ever get her to eat at home.
Thank you.
So far so good. My 10 month old is now 2 months in and thoroughly enjoying his time at nursery. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Whilst I haven’t tried the food it’s freshly cooked on the premises, has lots of variety and my child loves it.
Busy Bees at Newbury provide a safe, happy and inspiring place for the children. The staff are friendly, accommodating and know the children really well. I have complete confidence in them. My son is very happy there, as was my daughter.
My baby girl is always so happy to go to nursery. They always update me on her daily routine when we pick her up. Very caring staff as well. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Great nursery that provides a safe and happy environment. The staff are amazing and keep you well informed and are adored by my children. I'm constantly impressed by how much they have developed and grown in confidence and ability since they started.
Soon as I walked through the door in Busy Bees at Newbury from the very first minute I knew my son will visit this nursery. There is more to it than just babysitting , it feels like a family, every single member of staff is so passionate about what they do that I feel excited for my son to spend the whole day in the nursery as I know he will be perfectly looked after and entertained . He loves everybody there to bits and you can clearly see and feel that for all the staff this is not just a Job paying the bills but a passion and they put their heart into it, their love and enthusiasm. The nursery is perfectly managed, everybody is very professional, health & safety is spot on and the most important- the atmosphere is amazing- so warm, friendly, welcoming and feels like a giant family.
I have sent two of my children to busy bees and they have both been very happy and well looked after there. The staff are all lovely and clearly all care a lot about all the children which is the most important thing I think. I would recommend this nursery to anyone :-)
My twin sons attend a Busy Bees nursery. They suffer with separation anxiety with myself leaving them and the staff at the nursery have been so good with them and myself to get the boys through this stage. My boys are very happy at this nursery and enjoy their day with the staff and other children who attend the nursery. They enjoy lots of different activities and have a brilliant routine whilst there. The staff are always more than happy to answer any questions. A great nursery and one I'm happy that my boys attend.
Our daughter has attended this nursery from the age of 1 year. She is now 3.5 years and in the senior preschool room. She absolutely loves her time at the nursery and I know when I am at work she is in excellent hands. The staff are kind, caring, accommodating and approachable. The food provided is excellent quality. We have seen such a big improvement in her development and contribute a lot of it to the input she receives from attending the nursery.
My son started in the baby room at 11 months and settled quickly. His key worker was lovely and my son adored her. In the next room my son also had a lovely time and loved his key worker. She often took time to teach him things and would regularly update us on his progress. He did so many activities. When he moved to the 2-3s room there was a bit of an upset. He suddenly didn't want to go. While the staff did nothing wrong I wish he could have stayed with his previous key worker and felt the staff in the new room could be a little distant. The manager is lovely and the chef prepares lovely nutritious food...wish I could eat there!
