Busy Bees Maidstone Oakwood Reviews (47)
Over all time Busy Bees Maidstone Oakwood has 47 reviews.
The staff in the baby room are fantastic. After coming here for a month, my daughter's development has excelled. They have also been very supportive of the weaning process and cater to a very particular diet. Her key worker always keeps me well informed of my child's time at nursery as well as showing me lots of pictures and observations of her in her book. The only negative is the price which is already high and about to increase again.
My daughter attended nursery over the summer period and was extremely happy there.
The Staff were very cheerful and made coming to nursery an exciting and pleasant experience for her.
She enjoyed all the activities and loved the meals and snacks that were prepared on site.
I would recommend Busy Bees to my friends and family.
I am so happy with this nursery, we have used this for the past 3 years and have never had any cause for complaint. I like the small family feel and that many of the staff have their own children there.
I am delighted with the service offered at Busy Bees Nursery in Allington and would highly recommend it to others. The dedication of all the staff and their attention to detail makes the experience for both parents and children an enjoyable one. Highlights for me have been the fantastic settling in of both my girls, one who moved from another nursery to the preschool room and one who started in the baby room at 10 months old. Drop offs and pick ups are smooth and easy. The nursery has an excellent development programme, I know my children are getting all the care they need whilst learning and developing. I also really like the approach to outdoor space, I was initially anxious as the nursery was smaller than what we had been used to, however, the staff maximise the fantastic garden areas at all times. It is great to see children exploring and learning new things, using all the outdoor toys or in the forest garden and this happens spring, summer, autumn and winter!
This nursery has a warm and welcoming feel about it. The staff and management team are very professional and the children are all happy. The outside area is spacious with lots of activities for the children to join in with. I would recommend this nursery.
My twin boys have been going to the nursery since they were 7.5 months old and they absolutely love nursery the have become confident, independent, caring, and friendly little boys who enjoy everything about the nursery. The nursery has a very good outside play area which is great for active little ones, they have a free flow so the children have the choice to be inside or outside. I've always found the rooms to be set up in the morning ready for the children to get started right away, my boys run straight in and get stuck right into the activities. The staff have built a great bond with my children and when I leave them there in the mornings, I know my precious boys will be well looked after by caring people who dedicate their day to making children's lives fun filled, action packed, educational and safe. I would highly recommend Allington Day Nursery to anyone with children.
My son has now started here, he is so happy and has made a strong bond with all staff. They do so much with the children, my fridge is full of beautiful creations and happy memories with nursery photos and that's exactly what you want as a parent.
The nursery is well presented with a great, approachable management team, a credit to the nursery.
Overall, a lovely nursery which has gone above and beyond to help make my children's start in life a happy one.
Thank you.
