Overall very good experince .I am happy my doughter is attending at Busy Bees Gillingham ,Its a peace of mind for me to have my doughter at this nursery ,exellent care ,teaching and great support from everyone.
Excellent experience. My child has fun every day, has built confidence and her speech has improved since being there. All staff are friendly and informative about her day. She eats better since being at nursery and now has lots more friends.
The team are so approachable, attentive and professional. The structure and activities for the children are fantastic and my son has thrived under their supervision. My son has transitioned from this nursery to his school almost seamlessly and I believe this is down to the hard work the team had put in preparing him for the transfer of the environment.
Being a first time mum with a struggle of leaving my son in the care of others, I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Please do not make the same mistake as I did and assume that higher Ofsted settings are superior and better for your child, I wished I had placed my son in this setting from the off. If I had, I would have had more value for money and an even more content child and confidence in his care. I’m grateful for the quality of care and support given to my son during the past year and the positive impact this experience will have on his future.
It’s such a hard decision leaving your child in the hands of someone else, so thank you Busy Bees for making it that bit easier to do. I honestly cannot rate this nursery highly enough!
My little girl has thrived at this nursery. Even on days when she is a little unsettled and upset, I leave with full knowledge and comfort that the staff do their best to settle her and she goes on to have great days there! The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly and always accommodating when needed. I couldn’t recommend enough.
Our daughter loves the nursery, the staff are friendly and make the effort to know the children and parents. Working full time was not an easy choice but knowing how much they care for the children and how happy our daughter is, makes it easier. So glad we chose this nursery for our little legs.
My son has always been a complex character and therefore we really struggled to get him settled into his brother's nursery. As soon as we put him in busy bees Gillingham the atmosphere the staff and the whole set up gave me a feeling of comfort knowing he was going to love it and he does. He started in the baby room and is now in preschool and he loves the time he spends there. His key workers and all the others in his room pay particular attention to his needs and his likes and dislikes and always give us a great account of his day spent when we collect him. Any issues we may have had have been swiftly and promptly resolved and we have loved all of his key workers he has had in his time so far. Although this nursery is a little far out for us to get to we have been willing to make the daily journeys sit is a great place for my son and I can get to work each day knowing he is going to have a great day.
Highly recommend this nursery. My daughter has been going since Sept 2017. Any mum will know it is a hard and stressful time trying to find the right nursery and leaving your child for the first time. I went and visited multiple nurseries at first and believed this was the best nursery I visited out of a possible 8+. My daughter enjoys her time there, she is always smiling when I drop her off and excited to see her key worker which is a great feeling. They are very informative and when I leave her I feel confident she is having fun and being well looked after, which is all I want. The rooms are always clean and full of toys and the staff are all friendly, approachable and caring. Cannot fault this nursery at all!
Overall, very pleased.
The staff are lovely and always willing to help out with anything you need. A real friendly and caring environment and couldn't wish for a better nursery for my son to attend.
My daughter has been going to this branch of Busy Bees for one year and she thoroughly enjoys it. She is kept busy and stimulated and has lots of friends here. I am very happy with the service we receive and would definitely recommend to a friend.
The staff are incredible and so caring. They know my son amazingly well and I am so happy leaving him in their care.
My son has been attending Busy Bees since he was six months old and has just started in the 2-3 years room. He has had a fantastic bond with each key person he has been assigned. They continuously keep me informed on his development. I really enjoy looking through his learning journey. The few minor concerns I have had, have been addressed immediately by the management team. To that end, I would definitely recommend this nursery to another parent!
My 3-year-old son had attachment issues before starting at Busy Bees. Now his independence grows on a daily basis. He adores his key worker and loves every member of staff that he has come into contact with.
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. My daughter has attended since she was eleven months and thoroughly enjoys it. If we haven't left home early enough she's trying to push me out of the door.
Her confidence is amazing and she learns every single day. I get updates on her progress daily and a parents evening regularly to see her file which is full of pictures and reviews.
I feel like the staff genuinely care about my daughter's progress and actively engage with us to ensure we are working together to provide the best care. The management takes every comment seriously and acts on all feedback in a positive way.
10/10, I enrolled my son before he was born and have no hesitation recommending this nursery to my friends!
Being very little, they have purchased resources to aid her development.
When I first visited the nursery in 2016 my son felt comfortable straight away as the staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome. We have recently returned in October 2017 to the nursery and the atmosphere in the nursery is warm and welcome still and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. My son absolutely loves the staff here and make him feel at home and he never wants to leave to come to his actual home.
I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent who is nervous leaving their children when returning to work as the children are all happy and the building is clean and well looked after.
All the staff are professional and polite and you can really tell the staff care about every child in the nursery.
The staff are child focused and will work with you to develop a routine around your child and not what works best for the majority. They are always willing to listen to your experiences with your child and work hard to create a home from home for your little one.
I have always found the nursery policies to be very robust, easy to follow and safe for all. I have had few causes to complain but when I have flagged an issue it has been dealt with quickly and with care by all management.
They have recently begun providing breakfasts for parents on the run and their extracurricular opportunities such as Mother’s Day brunch and grandparents day are a beautiful touch.
I am very pleased with our choice of nursery and our soon to be born second child already has their name down for a place in the future.
The nursery is so supportive, they cater for all needs required. Staff are extremely lovely, very friendly and welcoming. I’m glad we made the decision for our son to attend Busy Bees at Gillingham. I love seeing how happy and confident he is now. I would recommend this nursery 100%.
Our daughter started here full time in July 2017 and we couldn't be more pleased with the nursery. She loves her key worker and loves turning up every morning. She has made friends and we have noticed that she had come out of her shell and I can see that she is growing into a confident young lady and the nursery has a lot to do with that. I'm so pleased we chose this nursery.
