Welcome to Busy Bees at Rainham, a trusted setting where your little one can unleash their full potential.
The highly qualified team takes great pride in supporting the development of each child with care and dedication, ensuring a nurturing and positive early years' experience.
There is never a dull day at Busy Bees Rainham. The preschool offers children the chance to engage in extracurricular activities that promote learning and development whilst ensuring they have lots of fun. From drama classes to dance lessons, children are encouraged to explore their own interests and learn new skills, fostering personal growth and self-expression.
And the fun doesn't stop there. The sensory exploration room has been designed to engage every child, no matter their interests, and the Unleashing Potential room includes a range of physical activities to partake in.
The team at Busy Bees Rainham recognise the importance of a smooth transition, which is why they offer a dedicated parent room where parents can stay during their child's settling-in sessions, ensuring both children and parents feel supported and comfortable throughout the process.
With the ‘ParentZone’ app, rest assured no matter where you are, you can stay connected and informed during your little one’s time at nursery.

Staff always put his needs at the forefront of their teaching, they are keen to learn new ways to help him develop.
Content of their learning is always age appropriate and focuses on their independence. I always feel part of his journey, despite having to work all day.
I trust that they care for him like they care for their own children.

Working in education and social care ourselves, we probably notice the little things as much as the big ones - and what stands out most is how genuinely cared for, included and engaged the children are. Staff are always happy to see them, know them as individuals and clearly take real pride in helping them develop. Our child regularly comes home absolutely exhausted but very happy, which we think is one of the best signs of a day filled with play, learning, friendships and new experiences!
The learning opportunities are excellent. Children are supported with their developmental milestones while also being appropriately stretched and challenged when they are ready for more. Creativity and music are nurtured alongside a wide variety of activities and experiences, and there is a real emphasis on inclusion. It feels like a setting where every child and every family is welcomed.

They make a real effort to encourage his speech and development. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are responsive to emails and calls. Our daughter will also be joining in April next year as we have had such a positive experience.
Alisia comes home happy every single day and loves her time at nursery. We are blown away by how much she has developed over the past year-she is more than ready for "big school" next year! A massive thank you to all the staff for working so hard and doing an amazing job.

We love having our daughter here. Wouldn't changed it for the world. Everything is 10/10. We as parents are both very happy. I would recommend it to any parent. Our girl has only just a year left and be gutted when she leaves.

Great nursery and both my children are thriving in all the classes they have attended.
Nothing is to much trouble for the staff and you really feel as though they care for our children as they would their own.

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.
Our daughter started at Busy Bees when she was 1 year old. She took a few weeks to settle but the staff have been absolutely amazing, and she is now thriving. The staff are so friendly, and show that they really care for our daughter. We get lovely updates, which has been great since I've gone back...
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.
Both my son and my daughter have attended holiday club at Busy Bees Rainham and have always enjoyed their time there. All holiday club staff take so much time and effort to plan activities and trips! My children always walk out with a big smile on their faces and they have made many friendships and...

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.

My son enrolled at Busy Bees in Rainham in October 2020 - we viewed a couple of nurseries in the area but as soon as we stepped into Busy bees we were greeted by the manager, she immediately just gave us that home from home feeling, we went into the baby room and she sat down and started playing...
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.
My daughter absolutely loved coming to Busy Bees Rainham! She started here from the age of 2 right through to the end before starting big school and the whole experience has been nothing but positive. She progressed so much from being here and made a lot of close relationships with friends and...
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.

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.

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.
