Busy bee's pinewood has gone above and beyond to provide the best level of care and support to my son, his thrived and grew in confidence and into such a beautiful happy and very intelligent little boy. But not only do they support the children, they helped me, they helped me learn to trust having extremely bad anxiety with my son being a miracle boy they have given me the support and encouragement I also needed to get myself to a point where I could leave my son and return to work.
They are truly incredible amazing people. That don't get the credit they truly deserve.
The pinewood branch has been a big help in developing my sons communicative, physical and social development. He has built bonds with the staff which reassures me that he is valued and treated well during his time at the nursery. I have always found it easy to talk with staff and management if I...
Additionally, safeguarding proceedures and security are taken seriously by staff as are health and safety and handling of medications.
We've sent both our children to Busy Bees, with our eldest just finishing and going to school soon. It has been such a positive experience for them and we've been nothing but happy with the staffs care towards our children and communication with us.

We are so pleased with the level of care our daughter receives in Busy Bees Pinewood nursery. The atmosphere is so nice and welcoming, I feel at ease leaving her with the carers. They are very personable, really involved in our child's development (they've been a massive help during potty training) and always keep us up to date with how their day is going and what the kids get up to. Couldn't recommend the nursery and the team in there enough - thank you Busy Bees!
Both of my boys have a lovely time here - they are always very well cared for and thought is given to activities that would benefit their learning and development. Management always keep us updated with anything important ASAP.

Busy bees pinewood has been a breath of fresh air, as a nervous first time mum, dropping my little 10 month boy off at nursery was one of the most daunting things I've ever had to do but because of the friendly and amazing staff I was put at ease straight away. My little one come on leaps and bounds pretty much instantly and he has learnt so much and I do believe this is because of nursery. I am so so glad we made the choice to choose Busy Bees Pinewood as his nursery, we would be lost without the continued support and guidance they give us as parents. Thank you all so much!

Busy bees Pinewood has felt like an extended family from the moment our daughter begun during the pandemic, the wonderful staff made us feel valued and our children safe. Our daughter flourished and it then helped with when she then began school and it came from the knowledge gained whilst with the team. Our son then began and he felt at ease because of seeing his sister going in it's a place of fun, education, love , kindness. We have so much care for the team and how they treat the children as if they were their own which makes going to work so much easier. Busy bees Pinewood are professional and respectful to parents. I wouldn't send our children anywhere else. They really do feel like an extension of the family !
We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. Everyone is really helpful and kind, and it's clear the staff have a lot of knowledge and experience when it comes to supporting young children's development. They create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and encouraged...
Communication with parents is great, and we always feel kept informed about our child's progress and daily activities. It's reassuring to know our child is in such capable and caring hands. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

He has grown so much in confidence since attending, and it's clear how much effort the staff put into creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Every day he comes home happy, and that gives us so much reassurance as parents.
The communication has also been excellent-we're always kept informed about his day, his progress, and any little milestones, which means a lot to us.
We're incredibly grateful for all the care, patience, and support the team have shown. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees at Pinewood to any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery!
We are always welcomed in the morning at drop off and in the evening at pick up. Always updated on our child's day on what they have been up to, what they have learnt and what they've been eating. The staff are always very welcoming and informative. Not only that but are very cooperative with my...
I have seen a massive improvement in my child's learning and social skills both at home and nursery and appreciate the support nursery have given to improve our child's learning and development. I feel comfortable having my child attend this establishment whilst doing a full day at work knowing they are having lots of fun whilst learning as well as playing with friends. The nursery and Staff are brilliant and the establishment is well maintained to an exceptional standard.

The updates throughout the day keep both myself and my wife including in what our daughter is up to.
My daughter loves going to nursery, when I say to her in the morning we are off to nursery she instantly smiles and starts calling for her keyworkers.
" Ellie where are you, Izzy where are you"
The team of Ellie, Izzy and Lucie in her current room are amazing and a credit to your team.
My daughter is developing really well, and I can honestly say this is down to the staff at nursery.
When we had issues due to certain types of food the management team and chef were quick to help us come up with alternative food options.
This relates to Pinewood, Ipswich.
Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thanks for everything you do for our family.

The staff build strong, caring relationships with each child, helping them feel secure and happy every day. Communication is excellent at drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the day, keeping us informed and involved.
We also love how parents and carers are invited to special events like Mother's Day and Christmas, making families feel included.
We are so grateful for the nursery's positive impact and highly recommend them!

My son attended this nursery first and we have placed our daughter here as well. Both came on leaps and bounds in confidence, my son had speech issues and they went out of their way to help us get the extra help we needed from the health visiting team. The staff are truly lovely, we always get an update at the end of the day as to what our daughter has been up to, the food always sounds delicious (she eats so much more there compared to when she is at home) she has such a busy fun day. Activities always sound fun and productive to their learning and she always comes home with some wonderful crafts.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood since she was 7 months old. She is almost 2 years old now and I cannot fault the nursery. Staff feel like family, my daughter is so advanced for her age thanks to all the engaging educational tasks that they do there. Her keyworker is amazing and creates tasks based on my daughter's favourite things. She is always making art and we get lovely Mother's/Father's/Valentine's crafts and cards etc. Love this nursery and so happy I chose here!
My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was a year old. All nursery staff seem very nice, friendly and supportive. The meals are homemade and full of nutrition, my daughter is soon to be starting in the preschool room. Her time at nursery has made her confident with other children!

Firstly my son started here when he was 8 months old and stayed until he was ready for school and I couldn’t fault them then, in fact, we were so happy with the care they provided for my son that my daughter has recently joined. They have made her first experience of a nursery and leaving us such a positive one. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and all definitely have a child-centred approach to their care. Highly recommend!
The members of staff always put the children first. They always create lots of fun activities for the children to do. I personally enjoy seeing the photos on the app that get taken of my child and hope that carries on as they move through the different rooms.
