Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Meredale since she was seven months old and is now almost two. She attends Meredale five days per week, and I couldn't feel any more reassured! The staff are great, Key Worker is amazing and the facilities are good! All in all, we have a very happy two year old.

Overall Experience

My 2-year-old started at Meredale in March for 2 days a week. The staff have been really supportive in helping him settle in, as he’s been getting upset having to leave me in the morning but whenever I call for an update they’re always really informative about what he’s been up to and every time I pick him up, he’s happy and telling me what he’s been doing. It’s a lovely nursery in a lovely setting with great staff.

Overall Experience
Both of my children have used Meredale. Once my son starts school in September I am hoping to use Meredale for morning and after school club for both of my children.

The staff have always been very supportive and caring of my needs and most importantly my children's needs.

Overall Experience

Since my son joined the nursery when he was 10 months old, he has come on so much with his development physically and socially. At 13 months, he is walking confidently and trying to learn new words and skills.

He loves going each day and has developed great relationships with the staff. I see this by how happy he is each morning.

Overall Experience

My girls started in August of last year and have been very happy.

The room is big, light and has lots of different areas and types of play. The girls' key workers know the girls and are aware of their likes and dislikes.

I would recommend Meredale to anyone looking for a nursery.

Review from Sharna C (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 10 months old and is now the oldest in the nursery. She has developed in confidence and is showing a genuine interest in learning which is supported by the wonderful staff at Meredale Busy Bees. They are very attentive and care deeply for the children. The vast amount of activies she does in a week is great. My daughter will miss her time here when she starts school in September. The staff are also very good at keeping the parents informed of progress on any challenges that they have seen in the children.

Review from Emma D (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The key workers are extremely helpful, informative and attentive to my child's needs. There are a variety of activities day to day and a host of events outside the day to day running that she thoroughly enjoys. There are new things on the menu and the set up of the play area, toilet facilities and recent addition to a child-friendly computer in the pre-school room was a real buzz to her!

Fantastic with my son's development and high nursery standards. So impressed with how the development is fed back (ie. for my sons 2 year review).

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery, she is in a great routine and she always has healthy meals. The team work with her to help her develop new skills. When picking my daughter up I’m told what she has got up to, what she has eaten and how long she has been to sleep. I visited a number of nurseries in the area and this was by far the best.

Review from Naz R (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My litter boy has been with the nursery since he was little. He started baby group when he was 1 year old. He is now nearly 2.5 yrs old in toddler group. Staff are amazing, especially baby group. They have created such a great atmosphere for my little boy settle from when he was little. They helped him settle in toddler group in no time. I would recommend the nursery as the staff take on board any feedback or suggestions and aim to improve all the time. I felt my voice been heard and they always so supportive to help support the parent and children. My little boy develops so much in speech and other areas. They offer different activities. The nursery always very clean and staffs are always helping. I hope they keep maintaining their level of care and I strongly recommend it.

Would recommend to family and friends.

Very happy with my son's development at Meredale. All of the classroom assistants seem genuinely invested in my sons well being. They do lots of different activities and my sons lucky enough to attend on days where they have a music lesson and football training (which he loves).

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Meredale for the past year and enjoys her time here. She has the opportunity to be independent with accessing the toilet by herself and making breakfast. She enjoys having outdoor space. From a parent's practical point of view, access via key fobs is great and it's useful to be able to use the car park when dropping off/picking up.

Overall Experience

I have two children currently at Meredale in different years, both having started at 18 months old. We are absolutely delighted at how happy they both are and in how their development has really come along. Especially in terms of speech and confidence.

The staff are fantastic, really supportive and proactive in helping children develop/learn/grow in key areas. It's a really lovely feeling picking my children up and seeing big happy smiles on their faces (along with the excitement of telling me about their day's activities).

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 10 months old, he's now four. I have always been very happy with the nursery and the staff. My son always seems happy, making lots of friends and growing into a clever, confident little boy. The staff are supportive, reassuring, nice and polite. I feel confident all their hard work will make his move to school later this year a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.

Kirsty Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2010
Kirsty

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.
