Busy Bees Meopham

My youngest is just about to leave Busy Bees to start school. My eldest started with them in Sept 2013, so it's going to be hard to say goodbye. I've never had anything but praise for the nursery. Both my children have loved attending and have developed so well. The staff know the children inside out and will encourage them to learn by using their interests. The outside space is brilliant and the kids go outside in all weathers, which is great. I love that the meals are cooked onsite, my children often have seconds. If they have ever been poorly whilst at nursery, they have been looked after like family until I could get there. Whilst the resources and the rooms are brilliant and well equipped, what really makes it is the staff. They go above and beyond and the children clearly have a great bond with them. We are going to miss Busy Bees so much.

We are delighted with Busy Bees Meopham. They have had such a wonderfully positive impact on my son, he is such a confident and happy child and I know that this nursery has had a massive part to play in making him the child he is today. My son suffers with speech and language delay and the nursery have been so supportive and encouraging to both my son and us, as parents. My son has been in three different rooms during his time at the nursery and he has thrived in each one with the nurturing care of the staff.

My daughter started at Busy Bees Meopham just before her first birthday. As a full time working Mum, it was imperative for me to find a childcare establishment that I knew I could trust to care for my child but to also ensure she received the right level of support to enable her to meet all developmental milestones. Busy Bees has provided an exceptional service and has allowed my daughter to become a fun, confident individual who thrives in this environment. I cannot rate this nursery highly enough and her happiness at Busy Bees is a testament to all the staff that work there.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees at Meopham from a young age. The staff are amazing with the children and go above and beyond what is asked of them. Our children love it there and have great friendships and bonds with the staff. I know how hard it can be leaving your child in childcare all day but I can honestly say that the team here will put you at ease and make sure your little one settles in well. The food is great, there is lots of creative play and outdoor time and the Assistant Manager and the Financial Administrator are always happy to help with any queries or concerns you might have. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Such an amazing nursery, all of the staff are so informative and lovely. The parent zone app is brilliant too as you get updates throughout the day, I’m so glad I chose this nursery for my son. Thank you Busy Bees!

Very helpful and supportive with my son, who has been diagnosed with Autism. I am kept up to date with his progress and sensory circuits, etc. that are undertaken when he attends and his one to one care with his key worker.

We have two children at Busy Bees and highly recommend this day nursery. All staff know how anxious parents can be about their children starting nursery and are happy to take calls. The Parent Zone app is fantastic.

Each room has an outside area which they use all year round. Busy Bees start the morning with Wake and Shake - my daughter loved this so much we used to do it at home too.

The nutritious meals are made on site from scratch. Even the kitchen team are part of the Busy Bees family. Every member of staff knows each child’s name, even if they aren’t in the same room.

Busy Bees have recently offered Spanish lessons for an extra cost which the kids love.

Our children are very happy at Busy Bees. The team genuinely care for our children’s welfare. Our daughter starts school in September and she will miss Busy Bees and the team will miss her. We are thankful to Busy Bees for looking after her so well and ensuring she is ready for this big step to reception.

My two children have both been there from 9 months old and have been extremely happy all the way.

My son attended the nursery from 2013 to 2017 when he then moved on to school - he was always so happy to go to nursery and was sad to leave some of his practitioners behind from his preschool room, which he still talks about when speaking about nursery. My daughter has been attending Meopham nursery since 2016 when she was 10 months old. The staff really made me feel welcome during the settling in visits and was very informative for me. We have had great key workers in each room that my daughter has been in and they always seem happy to go above and beyond. They have a great manager and office team too. The nursery has not long been refurbished and has such a calm feel around it. Overall we are very happy with the nursery.

My son has attended the nursery since June 2017 and he has developed so much in that time. The staff are caring and supportive to every child and the management team also know each of the children and have time to discuss any concerns and to offer advice about your child. The nursery has recently been refurbished and now looks like a very calming and welcoming nursery for the children, with lots of natural resources and activities for the children and they use the garden daily. Overall we have had a fantastic experience with the nursery so far and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

Staff communicate very well and always keep you updated and are very flexible.

My 3-year-old daughter currently attends this Busy Bees Kinder at Meopham and has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old. The nursery is very welcoming and the Nursery Manager and the management team are fantastic. The nursery is very clean, modern and the staff really work hard to ensure the children have a great time whilst they are there. Each child has a key worker in each room stage, who completes folders showing your child’s progress and achievements. Regular parent’s evenings mean you have the opportunity to discuss your child’s development if needed, but daily communication is always there from the detail of what they have eaten and drank all day to the activities they have taken part in. There is an in-house chef who cooks healthy meals on site, which means the menus are changed regularly and really give the children a great variety of nutrition... I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this nursery setting to any families in the Meopham area looking for childcare.
