Busy Bees Chatham

My daughter has been with Busy Bees in Chatham since September 2025. Busy Bees Chatham have been absolutely amazing. My daughter loves going to nursery and always enters and leaves happy as ever. All members of staff always have their main focus on the children. I have found all staff approachable. My daughters key workers have always been amazing with her, being able to provide me with professional advice and guidance on any concerns if I have any regardless to her. They have an app that update regularly throughout the day which is lovely to see and also regular updates of how they developing. Would highly recommend Busy Bees nursery!

The meals and snacks are varied and seem to go down well everyday. The team are brilliant at keeping us updated throughout the day via the app, sharing his activities, meals, naps, and special moments. We're so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery environment.

I cannot fault the nursery at all. I would recommend Busy Bees to any of my friends as it's such a great nursery.

Our family have been with this nursery for three years now and could not be happier with the care our kids receive. Children are being treated as individuals with regards to not only their developmental needs, but also interests and cultural background. Staff go the extra mile in developing excellent relationships with the children they care for, reviewing updates from parents with regards to activities kids undertake outside the nursery and using these when planning play, which is tailored to and reflective of the children's interests. Insightful feedback is available at the end of the day as well as updates (inc pictures) via app whilst children are at nursery. The facilities are often reviewed and improved upon even further, the latest being updates to the garden area, which children are encouraged to utilise as much as possible.

My daughter attends the nursery twice a week. She's been there for almost a year now. She is always excited about going to nursery. Fantastic staff, always got smiles on their face and are very welcoming. Update on the app makes me know what my child has been doing.

My first child joined the nursery when he was only 3 months old and he is now in his third year, and has been joined by my second child in the last month in the baby room. We have watched both our children grow and develop so much in the past month developing new skills each day and enjoying every moment they are at nursery excited to go back each day. The staff are always welcoming and provide insightful feedback each day on the children’s activities and build of any skills each child is showing either at home or displaced during their time at the nursery. The meals each child eats are amazing and so diverse opening each child up to new things. I take my hat off to the staff there as they always go the extra mile and that shows at the end of the day when I collect my children when they are telling me about all the things they have done each day.

The minute I walked into Busy Bees Chatham with my baby in my arms I knew it was going to be where I sent my son when I returned to work. The nursery staff were welcoming and the care they showed towards each child was second to none. It just felt like my child would be with family. My son has been at the nursery for just over 2 years now and is developing excellently. We receive regular updates on his progress, pictures, learning extensions and he has lovely healthy food with the on site cooking. These ladies have been outstanding throughout the pandemic too with keeping our children safe. I'm very happy with everything they do.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Chatham for the last 14 months and absolutely loves it. I cannot tell you just how fantastic the staff are. The care they provide and the interaction they have with both the children and the parents is outstanding. The Parent Zone app is fantastic, and I love receiving the notifications of what my son has been doing, eating, or how long her has slept etc. throughout the day. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds over the last year, and I can 100% say his amazing carers at Busy Bees have played a huge part in that. His days are full of fun, engaging and educational activities that I know he loves. He is so excited at the end of the day to show and tell me everything he has been up to. I would absolutely recommend Busy Bees Chatham to any parents looking for a safe, stimulating and genuinely caring nursery for their children.

My daughter attends the setting two days a week and has been at the sitting since the age of one she absolutely adores all the staff and can’t wait to run in every morning and always comes home with so much to tell me. My daughter is extremely outgoing and inquisitive and her key person and staff are always planning outstanding activities that nurture this side of her. The nursery celebrates lots of different occasions and festivals from around the world which we feel is extremely important. As a parent we feel that the setting really has given our little darling the very best start in life we can’t thank them enough.

My son started just over a month ago and all of the staff have been so welcoming, remembering his name from the outset and doing activities to help him settle. He is already very happy there and is excited to tell me all of the things he has been doing. The staff have really made an effort to choose activities to help with his learning, building on what he is interested in at home and what he chooses to play with there - and it is lovely to see these through the updates on their ParentZone app.

I have two children attending Busy Bees Chatham and have knowledge of all rooms the nursery offers. The children are cared for as if they are the staff's own children. Regular updates are provided via ParentZone App and in person at pick up time. The rooms are bright and inviting with a large selection of toys and books available. Staff offer a wide range of activities for the children, reflecting their interests. Parents are invited to share activities children are undertaking at home and staff use these to extend on children's experiences at nursery. Outdoor play in the garden is encouraged. All holidays are celebrated as well as individual children's cultural events. Staff do an excellent job at settling children in to their rooms, with my two developing amazing relationships with their key persons. Children's meals are cooked on site with menu's being changed according to season. Opening times are invaluable to working families. On site parking available for drop offs and pick ups.

My daughter had a bad experience at her previous nursery but since moving to Busy Bees, she enjoys going in at drop-off, no more tears or meltdowns. The constant updates on the app of what she gets up to throughout the day really puts my mind at ease. The nursery makes sure they cater to her interests and plans activities around them. I couldn't be happier with my daughter's continued progress.

Our daughter has been going to Busy Bees in Chatham for the last three years. She thoroughly enjoys her time there and is learning new things every day. The nursery workers are amazing with our daughter and have helped us every step of the way. The extra activities that are available are fantastic as well. Our daughter is able to learn Spanish and take part in kickboxing lessons which she loves. You can see how much they genuinely care about the children who attend by the way they interact and how our daughter talks about them. We couldn’t wish for better people to look after our child whilst we are at work. Thank you.

My son has been attending Busy Bees in Chatham since the age of ten months and he is now four years and six months and in his final year in Foundation class. I can't rate this nursery highly enough. They care for the babies and children as if they are their own, the activities they provide and connection with the parents is outstanding and it's incredible how much my son has grown. The foundation room especially is preparing him so well for school in September. We will be so sad to leave.

My youngest child has just left Busy Bees Chatham in August 2019 to start school. I have had 3 children all at the same nursery over the course of the last 12 years. I just want to say how wonderful all the staff have been (many have been there all the way through). The setting is fantastic, there is plenty of interesting things to keep the children occupied and I particularly love the foundation class which has recently had a revamp. All of my children have had a brilliant start to their school life and I put that down to the teaching/learning which takes place at the nursery beforehand. The staff generally care for the children and take a keen interest in each and every child. I just want to say a huge thank you for making all my children so happy and giving them a good grounding for the next chapter in their lives.

We have used this nursery for over 5 years. Currently, our youngest attends the baby room. We have always been pleased with the level of care and dedication from the staff here. The nursery is clean, well managed and efficient. The food is amazing and always freshly made which is a great advantage. Communication and safeguarding is always key. Would highly recommend this nursery, as would our children.
