Review from Oluwatosin A (Father of Child) published on 30 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child joined in February 2019 and I have noticed how much he looks forward to going to nursery every day.
They have unique activities to keep the children entertained and interested.
The staff are very polite and always approach you with a smile.

I also like the fact that I get a real-time update on my child's daily activities; feeding, sleep, etc. through a secure phone app.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been in the nursery a year now. Although there have been a few changes I am happy that it is still so positive. I really like the new manager and I feel she brings fresh and positive energy to the nursery. My daughter has learnt so much! The extended opening hours really help also.

Overall Experience

My son loves being at Busy Bees, he always comes home excited and stimulated by the day’s events. The nursery nurses are all lovely and are caring and genuinely love their jobs. There is delicious freshly prepared food every day and in fact I think most days my son eats better than I do! He loves the mixture of activities on offer and I can’t fault it.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going there every day. We had a very easy transition so I did not feel bad leaving her. Everybody who I have met so far are extremely friendly and professional. She is very well looked after and having a colourful palette of activities. I can only recommend Busy Bees Bernard Street to my friends and colleagues.

Review from Katie S (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Bernard Street since May at the age of 14 months. I was very anxious as a first-time mum to leave her for a day each week as she had only ever been away from me for a maximum of an hour previously. From the moment I got there I had a feeling that she was in fantastic hands and even though I felt the guilt to be leaving her I didn't have to worry which was a huge weight off my shoulders. It did take her a little while to settle in but since then every time I pick her up she says hello and gives me a cuddle and then wants to go back down again to play and stay there! I can tell she absolutely adores her key worker and all the other staff are fantastic with her. Even though she is only there for a day each week she seems to pick things up so quickly and starts singing some of the songs she has heard at nursery. I would 100% recommend anyone to send their child to this nursery.

Review from Sabina S (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both myself and my husband would strongly recommend Busy Bees. The staff are extremely welcoming and accommodating to my childs needs; taking special care with food and toilet training which as a parent has been helpful.
Since starting Busy Bees my son has improved greatly with speech and eating. In particular, we have noticed a wonderful development in his attitude. He has become outgoing and active and we strongly believe the staff at Busy Bees has played a huge role with this.

He always looks forward to going.

My son is full-time at Busy Bees and is very happy there.

The staff genuinely care about the children and their development.

The menu is fantastic and carefully planned.

The facilities are great and there is a lovely outdoor play space.

Overall Experience

I have really enjoyed watching my little boy thrive at this nursery. It is a friendly environment and there is a great range of activities for him to get involved in. I also like that there is always access to the outside space. The staff are always very helpful and the nursery is small enough that they all get to know your child personally, regardless which room they are in.

Overall Experience

Really brilliant little nursery. My two children are bouncing after a day here. I feel confident that they are being well looked after and cared for. Everyone knows everyone and there is a real family feel to it. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere which helps the children and parents feel part of it and confident in their surrounding. Great admin team who are quick to respond and happy to help. My children are kept entertained and do a huge variety of activities, including lots of garden time which I personally feel is very important.
