Review from Clair J (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees have been outstanding throughout the two years our son has been attending. They have taken care to get to know him and us, and it has a really personal feel despite having so many children attend. The care of the individual child really is at the heart of things. Staff readily understand the needs of parents working at the hospital alongside which is vital. He has learnt so much, it is astounding, even from his early days. The nursery has sound policies for the care of children, but are also sensible about illness and inevitable injuries (in our son's case!). The menus are really varied and change seasonally, and there are opportunities for parent involvement. We would not hesitate to recommend Busy Bees at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

Overall Experience

I have one child still in Busy Bees and one that has been there since they were 11 months old and has just started school.

This is a very good nursery, all of the staff are very attentive and approachable.

The pre-school room 'Oaktrees' perfectly sets them up for school, getting them ready for the new routine and independence needed.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Busy Bees for the last 18 months. They have been fantastic. In the first six months of him attending the nursery, he had a few health problems but they easily managed his needs and went the extra mile to support him (and me at times!) He loves Busy Bees and is thriving in their care. Thank you.

Review from Priscilla M (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery. The manager runs a tight ship. Great staff never dissapoints. My children are always happy when they have been to nursery. My eldest was not the easiest of children, but the patience all of the staff had with her outstanded me. From potty training to getting ready to start school I had support not only for her but for me too.

Overall Experience
I cannot rate the nursery enough. Both of my children have attended here from roughly 8.5 months.
Their needs are met to a high standard. The interaction from all staff with the children is always enthusiastic and both children come home happy.

My eldest child left nursery for school this year. My youngest is now in the pre-school room and is very happy and eager to get to nursery. I can go to work happily knowing he is content, making new friends and learning new skills on a daily basis.
