Over all time Busikids Day Nursery has 31 reviews.
I have two children who go to Busikids, one is 4 1/2 and one is nearly 18 months old, both have been going since they were 9 months. I could not fault the nursery, the staff are amazing and seem to truly care about the kids and all their achievements. Due to the closure (COVID) the nursery sent lots of activities to do and videos of the staff and reading book which was great to keep them going. When it re-opened they sent video tours of the new bubbles which was really helpful to prepare my 4-year-old. They have been amazing at keeping us updated and making a smooth transition back into the nursery. The kids absolutely love going and often don't want to come home!
Thank you for your wonderful review and comments. The videos, storytelling and research for activities helped keep us going, and focused, ready to return. It is so lovely to be appreciated and it is always lovely to see their smiles.
After looking around many childcare providers, I came across Busikids and immediately knew my child, now children, would be happy here. I wouldn't entrust anyone else with them. There is so much care from all the staff and my children are extremely happy whenever they attend. Whenever any issues have arisen, they have been dealt with swiftly and with compassion. It is the best nursery-preschool around!
We are continually investing in our resources and facilities and will continue to do so in the future.
Both my boys have gone through Busikids, from 9 months right up to 4 years old. They have all been kind, caring and supportive throughout their whole journey. They are always very easy to communicate with and feel like they really make the effort to get to know your child. The facilities are always clean and they have a lot of space inside along with an amazingly large garden for the children to explore. I will be sad for my little one to finish in a few weeks time, but I know it has really helped him to be confident and ready to start school.
What a lovely review, thank you. We have thoroughly enjoyed caring for your boys and will be sad to see your youngest go on his way to school, although he is very well prepared, definitely the end of a very happy era. We wish you all well for the future.
The staff have always cared for my child and she's always happy when she's is collected. The updates I get every time she attends gives me great happiness especially to see the varied activities she takes parts in.
All the staff and management are really approachable and knowledgeable about their roles and they treat every child as an individual when nurturing their little personalities.
I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for one.
Thank you for your considerate review and your wonderful words. Here at Busikids, the whole staff team does enjoy providing a personal approach to all our families treating everybody as an individual. It is so important to us that we make our families happy, thank you also for all your great recommendations.
We get daily detailed of his naps/food/nappies, which helps with peace of mind and knowing that he has structure to his day.
Thank you for the lovely positive feedback, it is good to know our communication is effective and we love caring for your little man.
This is a fantastic nursery both my daughter and son have been attending since they were a year old. My son's speech and confidence have grown a massive amount since being in the Penguin room. They learn something new every day and always love when they do all the different activities and games outside. I am very grateful for all the staff for looking after my children. This nursery also has great facilities and we enjoy going along to the summer BBQ they hold and the Christmas Party they do every year.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is always so lovely when the little ones take the next step to communicate with us by practicing their talking and this is always encouraged. We are so hoping we will be able to hold our Christmas Fair again this year as it is a great opportunity to catch up with all our school leavers also.
All 3 children love/have loved attending Busikids and have benefited from the range of activities, meals and interactions greatly. I think they have all formed great bonds with different members of staffs and have made lovely friends.
Apart from returning to work, one of the reasons I wanted my children to go to a nursery was to make sure they had lots of different experiences and opportunities such as crafts I didn't want to do in my home (paint!) and food I may never have cooked. This was definitely the case in the experience my three have had.
Throughout the pandemic, the advice and communication have been brilliant and my children have not been upset at all by the distancing measures that have been put in place.
We are so pleased to be able to offer these opportunities and experiences, all be it some of it messy.
We have all thoroughly enjoyed seeing your little ones through their early years- and still are!
My daughter has enjoyed being at Busikids so much. She looks forward to going to school every week. Staff are friendly all the time. She has also been enjoying their lovely food at snack time and at lunch. She will really miss Busikids!
The staff will miss you too.
Busikids use an app which updates frequently so that I am able to see every meal he eats and every nappy change he has.
All members of staff are extremely helpful and have made sure to go the extra mile to make both myself and son feel welcome, and have dealt with everything brilliantly in these uncertain times.
My son loves attending Busikids, has made lots of friends (including the members of staff!) and without a doubt, my second son will also attend this nursery, I won't consider anywhere else!
It is good to hear how easy you find the app to use and how useful it is to you. The staff team do enjoy creating such a welcoming atmosphere for our families. We are looking forward to meeting baby.
My boys have attended three days a week since they were 10 months old and have so far been in three of the different rooms, Ducklings, Penguins and Monkeys. Each room has been fantastic at meeting the needs of their particular age group. The activities are always so varied and engaging and the staff in each room are so caring, dedicated and knowledgeable.
They are great at communicating and keeping parents up to date throughout the day as well as newsletters and emails regularly and updates on their Facebook page.
In addition to the daytime care, they also put on a fantastic Summer picnic and Christmas Fair which helps all the parents connect.
It's a fantastic place for anyone with under 5s.
The whole team have so enjoyed caring for the boys during their journey through Busikids so far. Fingers crossed we will be able to hold the Christmas Fair again this year.
Busikids has been great for our first daughter. She has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old and will be leaving at the end of August to go to school. It has been brilliant for her, and she loves her time there. Activities are varied, and she always has lots of fun. The nursery staff are very caring, and also very adaptable to parents' requests e.g. I'm fussy with what food she eats, so they would always listen to, and follow, our requests. Our 2nd daughter will be joining the nursery when she is 10 months old too. Would highly recommend.
We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Hello, I have been at Busikids since January 2011. It has been a long time but an enjoyable one so far, we have achieved a lot and long may it continue. I have a wonderful team around me and between us we pride ourselves on providing the best care, comfort, learning environment and security we can for your sons and daughters.

I enjoy working with the babies, and I love to see their little faces and see them develop through their play.

Before joining the Busikids team I used to work for a Supply Agency working either as a Supply Nursery Nurse or Teaching Assistant. I enjoy making children laugh/smile, going on new adventures and taking on new challenges every day. Most importantly I enjoy seeing them growing and changing, day after day; it's tiring but wonderfully rewarding. Spare time? What’s that? I ride my bicycle, organise my home life, play tennis, basketball and enjoy running. My daughter is now faster than me but I still beat her on the long distances!
