Busy Bees has been amazing for our child. Our 3-year-old has been attending for nearly two years and the staff are incredibly caring and supportive. The learning activities are engaging, communication is excellent, and the meals are nutritious and well balanced. It's reassuring to know our child is happy, safe, and learning every day. We're very grateful to the team and would highly recommend Busy Bees.
The management team are always helpful and sign post to the right team (I.e funding team). They are very quick and clear with their response.
The menus are outstanding and I am happy knowing that she is getting such a well balanced diet.
I am so happy we've chosen Busy Bees as her nursery placement. Her confident and talking has come a long way and I thank the staff for all their support and care.
Thank you!
We are very happy with Busy Bees Nursery in Rainham, our son started here in September and he really enjoys it, he loves all of the staff who are so nice. We receive lots of information about him from his day at nursery, such as everything he's eaten, nappy changes, pictures of things he's been up to and all of the activities he's been doing, they always have a wide range of activities out for the children as well which is great! Staff are really friendly too, so overall, in the short amount of time he has been attending Busy Bees, we are really impressed. Thank you.
There are endless activities for the children and they are changed every day. He comes home singing new songs and telling me about his new friends. I'm very happy.
My child started nursery this year. I was a nervous parent, as my baby was young when she started. The staff made me feel at ease and looks after her so well. I love the different days they do and dress-up days with her! I'm really happy with Busy Bees as a whole.
We had a couple of settling in days where we went through what stages our son was at and I explained that I was worried about his eating/weaning and she said we’d work together to help. They did exactly that - the team there are incredible - the first day I was obviously a little apprehensive but he’s getting on so well and the support with his eating/weaning has been the biggest help and I feel so much more confident. The menu is great, his development is shining and I cannot fault the team. Thank you so much.
I was always kept up to date with anything new happening and with regular emails on new information.
Thank you Busy Bees Rainham.. you’ve been amazing!
I am very happy with the level of care that my child receives. He really enjoys his time at nursery and gets a lot out of attending. Staff were very helpful and caring when he wasn't feeling well and had a period of uncertainty.
Both of my sons learn a lot every time when they are at the nursery. They like the toys and all the games, songs and activities because these always match their interests and ages.
As a parent, I can recommend this nursery because this is really the best start for the children in their lives.
My child has only recently started attending this nursery and so far I have no complaints. He is happy to attend and comes home excited about his day.
My baby settled quickly into the nursery due to the care and attention he receives from the staff. I am kept informed of the number and length of naps, bottles consumed and introduction of new foods. They do not mind me calling to check if he is OK if I feel he is slightly under the weather.
The staff were really supportive and helped us both through this transition. I hated having him torn off me every time I dropped him off but knew that I had chosen somewhere he would be safe, have fun and learn to socialise. He hardly cries now and is gaining confidence weekly.
He has made friendships with both staff and other children and I’m very pleased that we made the decision to send him here.
The staff are kind and seem to enjoy their jobs. The toys are vast in number and the building very secure. The little thoughtful gifts they make with the children are beautiful-for Mother’s Day we each got our child’s fingerprint in a heart key ring.
Excellent nursery. My son started at 1 year old, the staff were amazing at settling him in and learning his routine and what he wanted very quickly. Amazing group activities they do with them and a large range of activities for them to do. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
She’s now 19 months, a toddler and we have increased her attendance from three days a week to four.
Her key worker and all staff that she interacts with are brilliant and attentive to her development and growing personality.
They have cared for her during some rough periods (eczema and food intolerances) and have done more than we have asked for to make sure she is comfortable and happy when she is at nursery.
Her learning journal is always up to date and documented with observations and pictures every month, it is reassuring to see the attention that is provided.
We are really satisfied with the service provided at Meredale and I have recommended it to my mum friends.
I am really happy with the care given at Meredale Nursery, my son has settled in really nicely and loves the nursery workers who are always helpful and considerate. I feel he has really gained in confidence, and I am so pleased with the progress he has made there.
My son has been going to this nursery since he was seven months old. He’s now three and preparing for school and I can’t thank this nursery enough for all that they have done for him and helped achieve. He is such a social and intelligent little boy and I will be sad when he leaves. I would highly recommend taking your child here. The staff are amazing and great with all the children. Ten out of ten from me.
My son has been at Meredale Day Nursery for nearly a year now and it was the best decision we made. He loves his days at nursery and particularly likes music days. The staff are genuinely caring and interested and have helped my son flourish in his time here. I particularly like that they have lots of outdoor time. He gets a healthy balanced diet and really couldn't be happier with the care he receives.
My daughter's key worker is amazing and can't fault her at all. She makes my daughter feel safe and happy to go to nursery.
Would highly recommend.

Hello, my name is Kirsty and I have been with the company since May 2010. I hold my level 3 diploma in childcare and my level 5 degree in leadership and management. My journey with Busy Bees started off at Maidstone Allington nursery in 2010, where I started as pre school room manager and worked my way up. In September 2019, I started my new adventure here at Busy Bees in Rainham. I am looking forward to welcoming you into our homely nursery and working closely with you to ensure your child has the best start in life.
I am a mum of two, who have also been through their busy bees journeys over the years and are both now at school. We enjoy spending time with each other as a family, going out on adventures and of course, I enjoy socialising with my friends, this usually means trips to the cinema and meals out.
