Review from Louisa W (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm so happy I picked this nursery for my baby. It was very apparent straight away that the staff really care about my baby and his welfare. They have really taken the time to figure out what makes him happy etc. It has made my return to work so much better than anticipated as I know my baby is with people that really care. When I collect him in the evening he's still giving big smiles to his key worker. I've met various staff there and they're all so lovely and caring.

Review from K M (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery has been very accommodating for my son's emotional welfare during the transition between classes of piglets into rabbits. They have helped give advice from weaning off milk onto water. My son loves spending time outside in the garden. They nursery have been brilliant with my hospital shift patterns and also adding an extra session when needed for special circumstances.

Review from L O (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Gardens are looking tired and worn out not really any outside resources or toys to use. Food seems to always be the same and my daughter doesn't really eat it so having to feed at home. Not great artwork sent home due to not having resources. Other nurseries seem to be a lot cheaper but due to where I work (in nursery) not really got any other choice. Increase of £1.70 for half a day is a bit of a joke too.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old and there hasn't been a day where we weren't welcomed through the door. (now 2yrs) All the girls have such an amazing caring nature and all that my son has come in contact with have been a true pleasure. We have been through 3 rooms so far and each key worker have built such a strong bond with my son, he has loved each one of them. He has truly come on leaps and bounds here and only attends 2 days a week!

Review from Kathryn G (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves his nursery. It is bright colourful and very friendly. The office girls are attentive and helpful, the girls in the room are enthusiastic and fun and even the chef always has time for a friendly chat with the kids.

The gardens are bright and cheerful and the kids spend as much time out there having fun as they can. They are always planning fun activities for the children and my son is always full of stories of what he has done at his 'school'

Review from Charlotte (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery since he was 5 months old and has always been very happy. He has built up great relationships with all his key people and will regularly talk about them at home. My son is now in Pre-school and the change in his development over the years has been amazing. He attends full time so is at the nursery a lot and all staff show great care and attention to his daily needs.

Review from Nicola (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. All the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. My daughter has attended since she was 4 months old and has never shown any negative emotions when dropping off. This is a credit to the staff who address her by name upon entering and treat her like one of their own. I am always informed of what my daughter has been up to that day, what she ate and her sleep patterns. The staff are aware of our family circumstances and have shown compassion and care to us at difficult times. They also acknowledge my elder son (who is school age) knowing his name and asking after him.

We are really happy with the nursery. Our daughter is looked after very well by the friendly and caring staff. There are lots of activities to keep her interested and to educate her. A great varied food menu.

Overall Experience

My child is very happy at nursery and has fun filled days. He has attended since 9 months so all the staff know him and he is comfortable there. I am entirely confident and happy leaving my child in their care. They always have his best interests at heart and encourage his development and home activities.

Emma Archer Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2013
Emma Archer

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.
