Our son has been attending Busy Bees for nearly two years now and absolutely loves it there. He loves all of the staff and they are all great with him and the other children. He takes part in a variety of activities and the nursery has been key in his speech and learning development. I would highly
recommend the nursery and am so glad that we chose it for our son!

The Sittingbourne branch of Busy Bees has been amazing and accommodating with my youngest, who took some time to settle in. The staff have been fantastic and offer such a wonderful variety of activities and learning. They were fantastic with my eldest two children and we didn't hesitate to send our
third. Over the years, it has become more centralised, as part of the larger Busy Bees group, which in some aspects has been fantastic - their policies and safeguarding are very robust. However, it has also led to some mixed communication to us between the on-site and corporate finance teams when it came to sorting out the payment of fees. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone, as the staff clearly love their job and that is reflected in the love and attention they give to the children. Their extended hours are also fantastic for working parents!

My son has been attending for around a year. He is in the baby room and has developed amazingly! The staff are lovely and welcoming and always help when needed. My son loves going and has developed such good bonds with the staff! We couldn't be happier with the nursery!

My daughter has been at this nursery for almost a year and I couldn’t be happier with the nursery! She’s had an amazing time, her nannies are very attentive to her needs and are very supportive and caring. Every time I collect my little one, she is smiley, enjoys all the activities and interaction with
nannies and children. The food is good and the atmosphere at nursery is happy and relaxed. But above all, you can see that everyone, who works at nursery loves children and they do their absolute best by them and as a Parent, it means a lot. My daughter is having a great time at nursery, developing really well and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parents, who are looking for daycare for their children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery.
Staff are welcoming, friendly and brilliant with my 1-year-old daughter.
I am given a good explanation at the end of the day, which gives me a good outlook on how she has been. Food is extremely well provided and activities provided for her are well suited.
Really pleased with
the nursery and thank all the staff for everything they have done for us.
Would highly recommend here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I had to go back to work after maternity with my first when she was 9 mths old, I was emotional as I felt guilty that I had to go to work and worried I couldn’t leave her believing that no-one could look after her as well as me. The staff there looked after her with care and affection, they looked
after me too! They reassured me all would be fine, called to tell me she was having a great day and were extremely supportive. My daughter loved nursery, she developed in big strides, made firm friends, she had a very happy 4.5 years there and it set her up perfectly for school with an easy transition. When I had my second, I obviously sent her there. Sending my children somewhere they are safe, treated with kindness and affection while also developing important skills means that I can go to work. I could write several pages of all the good work they’ve done with my two. I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery with their amazing staff headed by a fantastic manager.

Review from Amy E (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Busy Bees really take an interest in the children, it is easy to see they care for the children who attend, both of my girls love it there.


The range of activities is never ending, messy play, sand play, water play, play doh, cooking, playing in the mud kitchen, glueing and sticking,

the list goes on.


When the staff observe a child playing with a certain toy, for example, shaker, they will then get the box of musical instruments for them to extend their learning.


I go to work safe in the knowledge that I don't have to worry about the kids. If there is a problem they will call me, if not, I get to concentrate on my job with peace of mind that my kids are being taken care of.


I would personally recommend this nursery to any of my friends or family, the staff are amazing!

My daughter has attended Busy Bees at Sittingbourne since she was 1yr. My experience of the baby room and toddler room has been extremely positive. We cannot be happier with her attending here. The staff are a credit to the nursery and they have all made my daughters time here enjoyable. Her speech,
motor skills, behaviour have excelled and she is always happy to go each day.


Would highly recommend for a nursery in Sittingbourne.

This nursery is amazing, my children love it there and they've been so helpful with my eldest daughter who struggles with expressing her feelings and emotions both mentally and physically but with their help, we are getting there to help her improve. She has also come so far in her basic learning since
she's left her previous nursery and started here.
