Busy Bees Reading Woodley

Lack of inbuilt air con meant the nursery had to close due to high temperatures on a couple of days this summer.

I would recommend this nursery

Highly recommend it!!!

My son moved to this nursery in the last couple of months, he has settled in so well and is really happy going into nursery every morning. The staff create engaging play for the children and we are regularly updated with photos which is a bonus.

My son has been attending for 3 years and we've always been happy. He's had a number of key workers in the 3 rooms he's been in and all of them have been fantastic. He's formed good bonds with staff and other children and has settled well. Information regarding his welfare/ activities/ eating/ illness has always been provided in good time on the app. It's not a fancy Instagram building or garden but the facilities have been recently updated and are always clean. Importantly the staff ensure the kids are using the space to have fun and do lots of different activities.

I have been extremely happy with support and the updates that have been sent. I have been extremely happy with the photos that have been sent showing how much Chester is enjoying nursery. I have been extremely happy with the level of care and how much my little boy has grown even after only being here for a month. Couldn't have ask for a better key worker and enjoy seeing Chester's review sent by Caroline, very happy with all the work the Bambo team have been doing. Also very happy with the work Katie has been doing and feel at ease with all the staff at Busy Bee Woodley

We've been very happy with the nursery overall. The baby curriculum is excellent, particularly in the way it encourages independence through play and exploration. It's lovely to see the children developing new skills while having fun.

It's also a great advantage that the nursery offers full-day care of up to 10 hours, which is very convenient. The staff have always been kind, friendly and welcoming.

As a constructive suggestion, it may be worth discussing whether two naps could be offered in the Bombos 1 room where appropriate. Many babies at this age still benefit from two naps, and having this flexibility could help prevent them from becoming overtired. We appreciate that every child has different needs and that routines must be managed carefully, but working together to provide a second nap when needed could be very beneficial.

Overall, we're very pleased with the care and learning environment.

Great staff and great environment. Both my little ones really enjoy their days at nursery. Everyone is very helpful and always updated on the kids development and how they are getting on. Very happy overall.

Busy Bees Nursery has helped my child become more independent, confident and have really supported him during toilet training. The staff are approachable, friendly and will always try to help where they can. The nursery has had a fresh makeover too. Definitely recommend the nursery.

Fantastic nursery with caring staff, great activities, and excellent communication. Our child is happy, confident, and thriving. Highly recommend Busy Bees Nursery Woodley. Thanks you Busy Bees Woodley

I am very disappointed with the nursery. The service has declined drastically for the past couple of months. No accountability is taken from the caretakers. They are understaffed with an over the capacity room. Multiple conversations and complaints has been made with no improvement, only very defensive replies.

Fantastic nursery service, lovely teachers and fun activities- my child loves attending nursery and I feel reassured that she's having the best day every day . From age 1 I have had a great experience with my child attending busy bees full time - she is confident, eager to learn and has developed great social skills. Teachers are lovely and kind - never had any concerns.

Busy Bees Woodley is an amazing nursery! My little one has very quickly adjusted to nursery with the help of the amazing team, he is happy and settled, he's able to explore and develop with themed activities provided on a daily basis, the updates are great and frequent on the nursery app, the staff are wonderful and friendly and overall I am extremely impressed, thank you Busy Bees Woodley! :)

The facility is well maintained, hygienic and secured for the kids. The staff is always welcoming and professional. They will help you with any queries about your child's progress. Overall I would highly recommend this nursery for all the new parents.

Allergy awareness is spot on and I am confident with their protocols.

The updates on the app give us a good idea of the structure of their day and what activities they’ve been doing so we can ask questions about her day. A notoriously picky eater at home, I always like to read what she eats at Busy Bees!

Most importantly, everybody who works at Busy Bees Woodley has a great relationship with the children and works hard to deliver the best for each individual child. Everybody knows all the children, and they are treated as individuals, making leaving our little one at nursery a lot easier. I trust that the nursery staff will always do their best for each child and their individual needs.

We are really impressed with the wide range of activities that are set up daily with our child’s interests, which he not only enjoys immensely but also encourages learning. We especially love seeing the daily updates and observations of our son on the app and how happy he is. One of the things we are really impressed with is how important dates and events are celebrated in the nursery that encourages diversity and inclusion, as same-sex parents this is so reassuring to see and it’s fantastic that our son understands that families come in many varieties.

We have nothing but good things to say about Busy Bees and all the staff. We appreciate how well you communicate with us parents and our favourite part of the day is receiving updates on the app about what our little one is up to. We also feel very informed about her day and every little bump is recorded and communicated to parents. We feel that she is extremely safe. Even during periods of sickness, extreme heat waves, Covid outbreaks, etc, Busy Bees always worked with us to find alternatives and we never felt like we had just no childcare options. Her development has exploded since starting nursery and we feel like key workers do a great job in tracking her development (in observations) and also coming up with cool sensory activities. There is a big focus on sensory activities, spending time outdoors. Motor, problem solving and language and literacy skills are also a key focus. Highly recommend Busy Bees Woodley and the lovely staff!

Overall we find Busy Bees Woodley to be a great setting for our son.
