Busy Bees Maidstone Oakwood Reviews (47)
Over all time Busy Bees Maidstone Oakwood has 47 reviews.
We are constantly kept up-to-date and able to see pictures and understand what he has achieved throughout his day via the app. We also get regular assessments both through observations and set points throughout the year.
The outdoor space is fabulous and the children are encouraged to spend as much time out there as possible which my son loves, he is also able to be creative and has forged strong friendships throughout his time at the nursery. We know he is safe and happy and can trust all of the team are Busybees to look after him as we would on the days he attends.
The nursery communicates well and always keep us informed and my son has been very happy and settled over the past 2 and 1/2 years. We will be very sad to leave in August when he starts school...
I really do highly recommend the nursery.
Constantly keeping you updated and letting you know about your child's day. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my child as I know she is safe and well looked after. I Would recommend this nursery to everyone. I'm so glad I've chosen this place for my daughter.
The staff at the nursery are full of creative ways to help the children play and learn. They allow the children to follow their own ideas and encourage their development at their own pace.
We always get a happy smiling child albeit tired girl at the end of the day and she is always keen to tell us about her day. It really feels like an extension of our family.
My son transferred here from another Busy Bees when I moved jobs. I was worried about the upheaval but the nursery made it very easy for me and reassured me whenever I needed it. The staff are always happy and my son loves attending here. He's a handful but they expend his energy with their range of activities. He also has an amazing array of food there that he won't necessarily eat for me at home. I'm really glad I chose this nursery. He's developing so quickly and has made lots of friends and looks forward to his attendance days.
The best reviews for Busy Bees come from my two-year-old son whenever I pick him up. Throughout the week he talks enthusiastically about nursey. the staff, his friends, and gets excited about his next visit. I am incredibly glad that I chose Busy Bees and have not once had any doubts that he is safe and happy. The staff are brilliant and lovely and I feel so comfortable putting my trust in them.
The nursery is a safe, kind and nurturing environment for my daughters to have fun in, with dedicated staff and their friends. The staff show such passion towards getting to know your child you feel happy when they are in their care, at pick up they are enthusiastic about highlighting what your child has done that day, all my children have enjoyed this nursery.
Both my children attended this setting and they both loved it. My son made so many friends here and enjoyed going everyday. Staff were great and really helped with my daughter who has learning difficulties.
He loves the outside play and when they do cooking, possibly something to do with the eating bit afterwards!
When I have picked him up, I have always been made to feel welcome and the ladies in charge have always explained what he has been doing that day.
Things have changed a lot since my children were small and I understand that there is a lot more learning and structure involved to nursery school these days. I know that his mum is really happy about the way the nursery is run and that all these “ targets” are met and covered. In my mind, the most important thing to me is, that all this happens in the background without him realising it.
He has learnt so much and just thinks he is having fun.
Thank you so much.
Our son settled in quickly and was made very welcome. His development has been really noticeable and he has made lots of friends.
I am very thankful for each of the staff.
Pleasant nursery with friendly staff. My son enjoys playing here and has made plenty of friends. They have also helped improve his confidence and speech. Look forward to my daughter starting.
I am happy my boys are in this nursery, it's a good place for learning and playing at the same time. Always been supportive and understanding to all kind of situations we've been in.
The nursery itself has a beautiful large outdoor garden that my grandson is always looking forward to playing in.
I can't recommend the nursery enough.
He has gone from being a child who dreaded new experiences, to being so excited to wake up and go to nursery. All of the staff go above and beyond what is required of them and I couldn't wish for better people to look after him when we are not there. His bond with them all speaks volumes. I highly recommend this nursery and can't thank you all enough for everything you do for our little boy.
My son loves nursery here, he spends most of his day in the large garden, he has learnt new skills and made lots of new friends. The staff are friendly and kind and I could not fault them even if I tried!
My daughter has always been happy in this Nursery. The staff are so happy to be there, they really enjoy what they do. Children spend all day outside and they have a beautiful large garden, they do lots of different activities and she has grown massively in confidence since starting there. Couldn’t recommend the Nursery more highly.
I currently have 1 child attending at the nursery and he absolutely loves going into nursery in the morning. He has grown in confidence, walks straight into nursery, hangs up his coat on his peg and walks into his room saying “bye Mummy” and sits down at the breakfast table and serves his own food.
I have noticed his speech has improved a lot and he has started learning a lot of new songs which he has started singing at home too and getting us to join in with him.
The nursery has a lovely big garden with a climbing frame which is great for my child.
I have also noticed that my child’s social skills have increased since being at the nursery and he will hold a conversation for longer and ask more questions about things around him.
Can't recommend this nursery enough!
Both my children are at the nursery or out of school club. They are both so happy with Busy Bees, Maidstone Allington.
The staff are friendly and genuinely care for the children. The management team are approachable and seem driven in moving the nursery forward, a real passion for their nursery.
A lot of events go on throughout the year and all have been enjoyable. My children are constantly talking about all the fun things they have got up to during the day and are coming out with new things all the time.
I can't recommend them enough.
My son attends the nursery and has done for 2 years. Friendly staff and it is a nice small nursery. They have a large outside space and my boy loves it, for me that's the best recommendation that I need.
I have two children attending the nursery, and they both absolutely love it! They have developed in confidence, made great friends and are well supported by the wonderful staff.
A small nursery, it has a warm, friendly and welcoming feel, and it's clear that the staff take real pride in their work, and genuinely care for the children they look after.
I would recommend it without a moment's hesitation.
