Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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'

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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 5.0 out of 5
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.

Emma Archer

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2013

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.
