Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, great facilities, very clean and well run. Would be great to return to using the app as we used to get a more comprehensive update about their day each day, but overall would definitely recommend.

A wonderful nurturing nursery, they are not only childcare, they really do care for the children's emotional. physical and developmental wellbeing as well as educating them and getting the children ready for school. Every staff member has a fantastic relationship with each child.

Overall Experience

We have been at Bumble Bees for 18 months across the baby unit and now toddler groups. Our son has enjoyed his time in nursery throughout. We know he is under great care with the staff and we are kept up to date on what he is doing and his progress. Management also provide regular updates on nursery goings on and go above and beyond to provide great experiences (duck hatching, christmas parties) and refreshed toys and facilities.

A fantastic nursery. The team all take pride in their work and truly care for the children. The day is well structured with time for play, outdoor time, learning time and music. We feel very fortunate to have such a great team caring for our children.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Bumble Bees since 2023 and we cannot thank them enough for all they do. Our daughter is beyond happy there and has built amazing relationships with both her friends and teachers. She has developed so much since being at nursery and has grown in confidence. The staff work so hard every day. They're extremely approachable and friendly and are more than happy to discuss what our daughter has been up to throughout the day. The nursery is clean and has excellent learning resources and a lovely outdoor space. Bumble Bees go above and beyond when it comes to preparing children for primary school. Thank you so much!

Review from Jadeine R (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son (nearly 2) has been attending Bumblebees for almost a year and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Staff are nothing short of exceptional. They are incredibly attentive, and genuinely care about creating a safe, happy, and loving environment. The staff know my son really well - including his personality, interests, and what makes him laugh. He's absolutely thriving at Bumblebees, learning new skills and growing in confidence.

The nursery itself is always spotless, and it's clear that management is committed to providing the best for children. In the short time we have been there I have noticed continued investment in new toys, resources, and equipment to keep the environment fun and engaging. I am kept well informed about my son's day, his milestones, and any important updates, which gives me complete peace of mind.

Review from T E (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We can't thank Bumble Bees Day Nursery enough for the exceptional care and support they've provided to both of our children. Our son started during the challenging time of COVID at just 1 year old, and the staff made his transition so smooth and reassuring. He loved his time there and the range of activities and experiences he was exposed to helped him grow and develop in so many ways until he left for school.
Our daughter is still attending and, as a child with medical needs, we feel so incredibly grateful for the care she receives. The staff go above and beyond to ensure her needs are met, and we never have to worry about her being in safe, capable hands. The communication from the nursery is outstanding - we always feel informed and supported, and they consistently update us on her progress and well-being.

The nursery's commitment to both our children has been nothing short of amazing, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm and caring environment.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter (1 year old) has been attending Bumble Bees for just over 2 months now. It was very daunting leaving her at first and being an anxious first-time mum I was so worried but she absolutely loves it and runs in every day. The settling-in was quick and the staff made it feel stress-free, she smiles at the end of every day which is absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on her. The nursery has a lovely, warm and inviting culture, which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery.
Already I have been noticing how confident, and social she is becoming and with lots of new skills.
I feel lucky we got a place at Bumble Bees and I go to work with confidence knowing my daughter is being cared for, happy and has the most fun.

I really cannot recommend this nursery so highly.

Overall Experience

Our child has been at Bumblebees from aged 1-3 years old and each staff member has been/is excellent. They have amazing attention to detail and keep parents well informed, and they know the children as individuals and support their needs. I feel they provide an excellent service, with lots of varied stimulation and learning, and they are preparing my child well for the transition to school.

Overall Experience

A really fantastic nursery, my son loves it there. He always comes home happy. The staff there are truly attentive, knowledgable and kind. My son has developed so well there and is thoroughly entertained. The detailed updates are so appreciated by us as parents. the food is healthy and nutritious. As a mother I feel at ease, knowing my son is happy there. We love it so much, we have already put his younger brother to attend, who is due any day now.

Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Fantatsic nursery, my son has been thriving under their care. Management are lovely, activities great and well thought out and I'm certain he's being well looked after there. The only thing we think of for improvement would be joining together with a forest school every now and again, more photos/videos on the app daily. the option for dinner to be provided (I would pay extra for this!) and flexibility to do an am/pm only. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and will be sending all subsequent children here.

Review from R F (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended nursery here for close to 3 years before now being due to start school. This nursery is a wonderful environment for kids. She has always loved attending nursery and always welcomes friendly smiles from staff. She is now more than ready to start school and that is testament to her nursery teacher who puts in a lot of time and effort into education i.e. reading and writing. The nursery is a really lovely place and she has excelled there since attending. The facilities are really lovely for the children and always of the highest hygiene standards.

Our son loves coming to this nursery; his day is always filled with lots of great activities, and he’s learnt so much already in four months. The staff are all lovely and super friendly. We couldn’t wish for a better nursery.
