My son has been going to this nursery since he was 16 months and we have been very happy with the care provided by Busy Bees Pinewood. All nursery staff seemed very nice, friendly and supportive. We have been updated regularly on how our son getting on etc.
My daughter has been attending busy bees since she was 9 months old, she has always been very happy here, all the staff are lovely and are amazing at what they do, security is a priority and always feel my child is safe, the meals are homemade and full of nutrition, my daughter is now in the preschool room and has excelled nursery has made her confident with other children and is more than prepared for reception.
Our son has attended since he was 9 months old. The staff at Busy Bees were amazing. They helped him grow and develop and he had a good experience. The staff had good knowledge and supported him in any way possible.
I am very happy with the nursery and feel my daughter has learnt so much already, academically and socially.
My Daughter also appears to enjoy nursery with no issues at drop off and beaming smiles and cuddles when she is collected.
I only have brilliant things to say.
I knew from the second I walked in that Busy Bees was the right nursery for my daughter who is now in pre-school at Busy Bees and still is the best decision I made. My daughter was a very shy little girl and has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence, the staff are all an absolute delight and will forever be thankful to them for taking care and helping/contributing toward making her the confident little girl she is today.
Our daughter has attended this nursery since she was nine months old. We were sold as soon as we attended an open day. The nursery and staff are brilliant throughout. Our daughter loves attending and we never have issues dropping her off. Plenty of free parking for drops offs. Different activities each day, the rooms are large, clean and engaging. Great events held during the year. Our daughter loves mealtimes, the food is cooked fresh on-site and varies frequently. We love receiving the updates daily and pictures of her enjoying the day. Communication with staff is great, they always want to hear what she has been up and encourage to help with her development. A good size private garden for the children and you can hear the laughter when you approach. Good security measures and checks at the front of the building. Couldn't recommend enough, book a visit, they will not disappoint.
Our little boy has been going to Busy Bees Pinewood since he was 9 months old and we cannot speak highly enough of the nursery. All the staff are so friendly and really take the time to get to know the children and the parents too. We always feel we are updated with what our little boy is doing and that they really help with his progress.
My daughter has attended the nursery since seven months old and she has honestly thrived and grown so much since then. The whole atmosphere of the nursery is amazing and everyone is so friendly too, such amazing activities go on in the baby room and I can tell when I pick her up she's had so much fun! Her interactions with others have massively improved and this is definitely down to the activities that promote this area. She really enjoys the meals that get cooked for her at the nursery and I am just so pleased with how well looked after she really is. All the staff go above and beyond to care for my little girl and it doesn't go unnoticed.
Both my children have been cared for at Busy Bees Pinewood since they were 11 months old. It is such a welcoming place, and although it is hard to leave your little ones, it makes it so much easier knowing they are in such a wonderful environment. It feels like a family. My son is 7. Everyone still remembers his name and takes time to have a chat with him too. Would recommend to anyone. Friendly staff who genuinely care for your children.
Overall I was satisfied with the nursery over the years my son spent there. Babies rooms are very good sensory and care too. Preschool is excellent in every meaning, care, activities, staff, food and drink. My son has lots of interesting things and built and a very good relationship with his key worker. Thank you for your brilliant and lovely staff (including office and kitchen staff) and for looking after my son over the past years. We are very grateful.
The older one has just left having attended since 10 months old and is now school ready and my younger one is in the baby room.
The level of care for my girls has always been excellent and their key workers have met with me and spoken at handovers at length about how they are getting on and helped to settle them in. It's a lovely learning environment with friendly welcoming staff who genuinely care for your children.
We have found Busy Bees Pinewood to be excellent, from management staff to the wonderful ladies looking after our son. After an emotional start when our son was 9 months we have been reassured every step of the way! They cater well for his dietary needs and we always collect a very happy little boy! I always recommend the nursery to everyone and anyone!
My son started nursery in 2016 at 10 months old, I had every emotion running through me and I was assured by the very caring and well-managed team every time I dropped off, picked up or phoned that my son was loving his time at Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood. My son has thrived from being at this nursery and the team that work here do everything to make sure his best interests are cared for. As a first-time parent, I felt comfortable in asking the staff if/when there were things I should be doing to further his development or things he should be achieving that he yet wasn't, and I was always given positive answers and feedback on how my son was developing. I'm sad to think that he will be leaving this place next year for school. The children really are the heart of Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.
The care my son has received since he was 9 months old has been great and the reports and photos we receive let's us track his day.
His key person is great as well as all the other staff members in roos.
Staff are friendly, caring, efficient, supportive of the children as individuals and strive to ensure they have the best learning experiences and feel comfortable in their environment.
I'm happy to say, my daughter loves attending nursery...in fact, she's so eager to get in that my husband and/or I no longer get a kiss from her before she runs off to join in with the fun!
This is a lovely nursery, with lovely staff - I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nursery for their child, 100%.
The ethos is what attracted us and the day to day living of it keeps us there. Love the variety of activities offered. Our daughter is always happy and content when we pick her up. Only criticism is I wished her nose was wiped more. Great support when potty training.
Fantastic nursery. My daughter is just being prepared to go to an age room and is doing so with ease. Staff have been caring and nurturing. I've seen my daughter come on leaps and bounds.
Our son has attended this nursery since he was 12 months old, he loves every minute of being there. When we pull up in the mornings he claps his hands and starts shouting excitedly "Bees Bees". The Nursery is clean, modern, well equipped, has a good layout and is spacious. We especially like the garden area, as different age groups have their own outdoor space. The activities in each of the rooms give the children variety, enjoyment plus the ability to learn through play. We are always fully aware of our child's development through daily communication and regular parents evenings. The Nursery has a lovely seasonal food menu providing home-made meals each day. The Staff are fantastic: friendly, dedicated, capable and responsive. Our son has built strong bonds with his key persons, who have really nurtured his learning and his personal development. We have found Busy Bees to be professionally run and the staff strive for continuous improvement. We have no hesitation in recommending Busy Bees.
The staff are fantastic and all are so friendly and welcoming. The manager is also very accommodating to all our needs as a family.
