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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.
The key workers are extremely helpful, informative and attentive to my child's needs.

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!
My 2 1/2 yr old son started the nursery in April and loves coming, after visiting a few local nurseries there was no comparison the staff are friendly, welcoming and have s great play environment for children, can not recommend this nursery highly enough.

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).

I am very happy with my child development, thank you to all the staff at Meredale nursery. They make me feel at ease and relaxed whenever I drop my daughter off.

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.

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.
