Review from Rebecca P (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was recommended to me from friends that the nursery was a wonderful environment and their children thrived in the nursery. This encouraged me to enquire on this nursery. It offered stretched hours, the nursery team are attentive, caring and professional and incredibly caring. The baby nursery was
refurbished and offered a calm and relaxing space for my baby boy to learn and grow in. The baby diaries are always up to date and you receive a thorough handover every day. They know your child and always greet you with a smile and friendly. There is a book area for reading and often you see all the children sitting together listening to a story. You feel safe leaving your child in their care out of your care. This provides a new Mum peace of mind while at work. Thank you.

Busy Bees has been the perfect nursery for our child so far, she absolutely loves it and seems to love all of the team who work there. All the staff go out of their way to help children settle and feel comfortable whilst with them. The attentiveness to the individual needs of each child shows every
day and the staff are always trying to ensure the care they provide is in line with what parents wish for their own child.

My daughter started at the nursery in August 2017, I was worried about how she would settle in after going to another setting. She settled in so well, the transition and settling in period was amazing, I can't thank the staff enough for all they did to support this.
Since being here I have had no
tears and only positive talk from her each evening.
I highly recommend this nursery.

Very friendly, caring and helpful staff. Both our children seem very happy there. Frequent changes of key staff can be a bit annoying but generally, we have nothing to complain about.

This is a lovely nursery environment and I am very happy with my child attending here. You can see the staff all care for the children and have special bonds. The rooms are very well equipped with toys/resources. My child always tells me he has had a good day and is happy to be here.

My little boy has just settled in at Busy Bees in the Pandas Room. He has without a doubt been given great care and attention. They meet his individual needs and know him just as I do. Without a doubt delivering the best quality childcare.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at CDC Guildford are extremely caring. My son loves his teachers and is happy to go each day. The environment has seen rapid improvement over the last month or so. The staff ensure a range of different activities is available. My son particularly looks forward to sports lessons on Tuesdays
and regales me with what he has learnt.

The staff at the nursery are so kind and caring and have looked after my little boy fantastically since he's been there. The activities they do with them are really interesting and I'm sure he's bored when he's at home with me now!
Would highly recommend to anyone!

My son has attended this nursery since September 2014. The care he receives is excellent and he has a wonderful bond with all of the staff. He is very happy at this nursery and enjoys himself. He is encouraged to be independent and develop himself and he is a confident young boy. I would recommend
the nursery and the staff to anyone looking for somewhere to help their child grow in themselves and build up their confidence.

We have been using this nursery for the last five years and have found it to be excellent. The staff are friendly and form great relationships with the children. There are lots of things for the kids to do and my boys have loved every minute of going here. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been with Caring Daycare since I returned to work. Not only is she well cared for but I feel the staff have a genuine affection for the children. If certain members of staff are working, I'm lucky to get a hug goodbye as my daughter runs over to greet them! They certainly all go to a
lot of effort to ensure the rooms stay interesting for the children, and aren't shy of messy play. There are Christmas shows, fairs, sports day, and plenty more events that the staff put a lot of time into. The initial reasons for our choice were its proximity to my workplace and the opening hours (which have been immensely helpful), but I don't think our daughter would let us take her anywhere else now.
