Busy Bees Portsmouth Reviews (12)
Over all time Busy Bees Portsmouth has 12 reviews.
My daughter is happy to go to preschool and loves telling me all about her day on the way home.
Being a teacher, it really gives me peace of mind that I can drop my daughter off, and she will be given breakfast, lunch and dinner, meaning I don't have to worry if I am running later than normal because she is already fed and ready for her bedtime routine.
Staff are friendly and informative at handover, and the app allows me to see photos and snapshots of my daughter's day, including how much she has eaten.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. She absolutely adores the staff and the setting and always comes home having had a great day. It gives me peace of mind when leaving her to go to work. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and have done, many times.

The staff at Portsmouth Busy Bees are very welcoming and understanding. My child feels very comfortable at the setting and always comes home happy. He is always doing different activities throughout the day and is provided with all his meals.

Our son really enjoys nursery. He gets excited at drop off and comes home happy and tired after a good day of activities. The activities are wide-ranging and help him explore the world around him. Good food is provided and the accompanying app makes it easy to track his day, including pictures. His carers at the nursery are attentive and tailor to parents' individual needs. Care of his possessions is excellent and he always comes home with all his belongings. Really great all round!
My daughter's key person is always very informative and keeps us updated on her progress and high points of the day.
The app is regularly updated, which gives us all peace of mind.
We enrolled our child 8 months ago from his previous nursery where he was behind on speech and language, we moved because we felt the previous nursery wasn't structured enough. Since moving him to Busy Bees we noticed an improvement within weeks! I'm glad to say both his speech and language has massively improved and he absolutely loves going to nursery! The staff are amazing and so good with the children that our child can't wait to see his teachers every day. We feel it's a great mix of learning and having fun and are certain we made the best decision for our child by sending him to Busy Bees. 10/10.
Thank you for your kind review. We encourage the use of language within play and find this really helps with communicating development.
My daughter started when she was 9 months and it was such an easy transition thanks to the team members.
They are doing fun activities to stimulate the kids and taking a lot of pictures to keep us updated!
Thank you for your kind review. We love to make learning fun and exciting.
My twins have been here full time since they were 5 months old. Two of the early year's educators have always been very professional and provided excellent care really getting to know my girls, their needs and routine.
They are always carrying out different activities and the garden facilities are brilliant for the kids.
All the staff are very friendly at Busy Bees Nursery and they make you feel very welcome every day. The food is homemade by the chef every day and I pay for my son to be there full time but a lot of the time I collect him just after 2pm and they prepare his tea ready for me to take home which is a great help. My son has only been going to the nursery since March but in that time he has settled in really well. He has progressed a lot in the last 2 months and I feel the nursery staff and being in that environment has helped with his progress.
Helpful staff with every aspect when looking after my son. Especially since he has been ill since he started nursery on 1 March. The support/help has been much appreciated. Since he has been ill it has been difficult for my son to get settled at the nursery and the staff have really helped with, he is so much better now!
