He is always looked after and is happy there. The children are doing many activites and staff promotes independence. The staff is always welcoming and supportive with my requests. My boy has a health condition which requires some extra care and I know he is in good hands.
The nursery offered me the option to book flexible days according to my shifts pattern which was a great support for me as not many nurseries offer this option to the parents.
The place is clean, have a nice garden and encourage children to spend time outdoors. The food is appetising and the portions are generous.
Thank you for your hard work! It does not go unnoticed.
My child only started going now to nursery, but the team is amazing and reassuring. It is a massive change and it is nice to have the constant feedbacks and handovers. It is also nice the hours available for working parents.
Charlotte and Laura do a fantastic job running the centre. They are so warm, personable and clearly care deeply about every single child who attends. It really feels like a nurturing environment rather than "just" childcare.
The variety of activities is brilliant and there's always so much thought put into what the children are doing each day. The food options are also fantastic, with lots of variety.
Most importantly, our daughter is genuinely so happy there, which as a parent is the biggest reassurance you could ask for.
The nursery has also been incredibly helpful for working parents, with earlier start times and later opening hours than many others in the area, which has made a huge difference for us.
We're so grateful for everything the team does.
I recommend Busy bees at Maidstone Hospital for their professional and excellence in care and wellness ! I had all my 3 kids with them! I am very happy and proud of my kids development! A lot of activities during the day, variety of food, sensory activities, plenty of resources! Well done and thank you
My girls have been going here for the last 3 years. They are both are very happy and enjoy their time at nursery. They have lots of play whilst also learning about different things. The teachers are all very loving and caring and you can see they love all the kids in their care.
I love Busy Bees for my little girl, she has thrived so much and come on in leaps and bounds. The staff in her room (rabbits) are always reassuring to myself and my little girl when and if needed. My little one is always happy when coming into nursery and is always happy when I collect her. My little one has a good bond with all her staff in the room. I am very happy with her care and would recommend Busy Bees to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you Busy Bees, so much.

My daughter always comes home happy after a day at nursery. She has formed good bonds with staff and children. My daughter always comes home with a clean face, which I like. Handovers are always thorough and staff always polite. A star - very happy.

The nursery has come on so much in the past year and a half it's gone from a nursery I was prepared to take my son out of, to one I'm now sending my daughter to when I go back to work. My son gets upset every time I drop him off but the staff always make sure he is comforted and happy and within 5 minutes he is playing happily with his friends. The staff are amazing and make the setting what it is with staff members staying long-term in the setting. They update the app with photos and I can see all the things my son is playing with. He always comes out with a full belly and a smile on his face ready to tell me all about his day. A special mention to his current key worker who always goes above and beyond and you can tell she really loves her job which is lovely when you are leaving the most precious thing to you in the care of somebody else. My only flaw of the nursery is that they still have pre covid rules regarding pick up and drop off which need updating.

The only thing we have found since he has gone up to pre-school is there are more children and on occasion, things have been missed. We also don't get quite as much of a handover at the end of the day as when he was younger and in a smaller class. However, it is good for his independence and preparation for school.

Our daughter has been going to Busy Bees Maidstone Hospital for 5 months, she has settled in well and her keyworker and room leader are wonderful, as well as the other staff in their room. They always keep us well informed and show us what she is up to throughout the day using the app. We are happy with her progress and pleased she is exploring foods she wouldn't normally eat at home. The environment is welcoming with a lovely garden and every staff member we have met has been very polite and welcoming.
Wow! Thank you for this glowing review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our Maidstone Hospital nursery. 40 years of Busy Bees – 40 years of best beginnings. Join us as we celebrate our milestone year, visit our Busy Bees website or search for ’40 years Busy...
We have been attending Busy bees for the last 7 years and both our girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. They both have developed friendships, created beautiful artwork, had a lot of fun in the lovely garden. The teachers are amazing and ever so lovely. The nursery is very well run by the manager. Both girls were looking forward to going every morning and had plenty to tell us in the afternoon. I would recommend Busy bees at Maidstone Hospital to any parents looking for the very best place for their child.
My son was non-verbal when he joined Busy Bees a year ago. Now he is so confident, chatty and comfortable with any situation. He is always happy to go into nursery and we always love to hear and see what he has been up to on the app. He is always doing something crafty, reading or singing and dancing or in the garden, which he really enjoys. I'm very glad I chose Busy Bees.
My eldest son who is now 9 previously attended busy bees at Maidstone hospital from 7 months old, so when it came to my youngest it was a no brainier where he would be going. The staff there have provided our family with not only impeccable childcare over the years but such a warm and friendly environment. My youngest will be leaving to start big school soon and although we will be sad to go, we will be taking lovely memories. Thank you so much to all the staff and could not recommend more highly!
We are thrilled to hear your comments. We are really pleased to hear about your positive experience at nursery and very much appreciate having you as part of the Busy Bees family. Your comments will be passed on to staff at nursery, we are sure the team will really appreciate your excellent feedback
This is the first time that we put our daughter into nursery. We go by parents review and we decided to join our daughter in Busy Bees. (Just a suggestion there should be a proper explanation of things of what needs to be done prior the start of the child) this is the only thing that I can complain. Overall Maidstone Busy Bees is excellent on their care, teaching, my daughter is always excited to come to her school. The staff always did excellent job. Well done to them. Thank you all for the hard work. We really appreciate everything.
It is always scary leaving your baby at the nursery for the first time but thanks to the great staff at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital our boy just loves it there. After viewing multiple nurseries in the area, we are happy with our choice and always feel our boy will be safe and well looked after at the nursery. He loves the food and there seem to be enough activities to keep him busy during the day. We would definitely recommend Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital.
Great nursery! Friendly and supportive office staff. Wonderful nursery room staff, who offer great support and provide wonderful themes/activities/resources to get the children engaged and excited. My children absolutely love it here!
My son started three months ago and I highly recommend the nursery. I wish I had started him sooner. I am so impressed with all the staff, the facilities and my son has made a huge improvement in such a short time. Thank you everyone at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital, you're all amazing and you all do an amazing job.
supportive as he adjusted to nursery life. He has since shown so much confidence and loves his time there. Highly recommended!

Hello, I am Emma and am the Centre Director for Maidstone Hospital.
I have been working at Busy Bees since May 2013 and have supported a number of settings. I was the Centre Director at Brompton until August 2021 when we achieved an 'Outstanding' Judgement with Ofsted in January 2019.
I have moved across to Maidstone Hospital to embark on a new venture which I am very excited about.
I have a level 4 in childcare and management and have been in a managerial role across other settings since March 2004. I am dedicated, hardworking and very passionate about what I do and love sharing that vision in the setting with the team to ensure the little people we care about and nurture every day are getting the absolute best they deserve.
I have a beautiful daughter who is growing up too fast but makes me proud every day how she copes with her type 1 Diabetes since being diagnosed at the age of 5. It just goes to show the strength and determination these little people have, developing into their own characters which I am proud to be a part of.
