I feel like we get great updates on the app and he has access to engaging resources/ experiences which he then talks about at home. It's a lovely setting and I would recommend in a heart beat.
Our little one has attended Bumblebees since 2024. She settled very quickly with the staff and the environment and has loved every day she has spent here. She comes home now talking about her day and all the fun things she's been playing as well as all the friends she is making. We feel that every member of staff knows our daughter really well, regardless of the room the staff work in. Each transition between the rooms has been well planned to make sure she is already settled before she starts her next stage. Thank you Bumblebees!
We drop him off and hes off to play with his friends without saying bye. I love seeing him so calm and happy.
Great nursery. Thank you so much team
We love that the nursery staff integrate the preschool children with the local community visiting the care home and its residents, trips to the supermarket, PE sessions in the primary school and their walks and picnic lunches in the woods and local park.
We love hearing his stories about his days and take comfort that he is happy and safe whilst in their care.
We've been with this nursery for 4 years. All the staff care greatly for the children. The preschool room prepare the children for school encouraging independence, phonics and maths skills. The staff really do care and love the children. Thank you Bumblebees!
Amazing nursery. I always feel at ease knowing my son is being looked after well on the days he attends. I'm always reassured by all of the lovely staff when needed. My son really enjoys going and it has helped him learn and progress. Great outdoor play area, so many activities to do in the nursery. Management always great help and a very clean nursery. I wouldn't want him to go anywhere else. Would highly recommend bumblebees nursery to anyone that is interested.
Fantastic nursery with caring staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Our son absolutely loves going in each day and has grown so much in confidence and development. We feel completely at ease knowing he's in such good hands.
The management team are proactive, approachable and clearly passionate about maintaining such a high standard. Communication is excellent, and any queries are always handled promptly and professionally.
Most importantly, my boys absolutely love going - they're excited at drop off and come home happy. It's such a comfort knowing they are in a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for outstanding care.
Bumblebees is such a wonderful nursery. I visited quite a few local nurseries before selecting Bumblebees for my child. Their warm, family feel made them the perfect choice. The staff always greet you with friendly smiles and know every child by name. They do so many fun activities and cute seasonal activities too.
Since we've sent our first child to Bumblebees he's had an amazing time and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Their communication everyday is second to none and we really feel comfortable sending our child each day. As you can imagine it's a daunting thing to do sending your first child but Bumblebees have been fantastic!
The staff are so friendly and lovely, management are so thorough and keep you posted on all changes going on throughout the nursery and are clear on policies and procedure so as a parent you know exactly what is going on. The facilities and efforts to make sure the children are safe, active and engaging i just cannot fault. Small things like walking in to drop my daughter off in the mornings and seeing the fun activities set up ready for children just fills you with confidence on how much fun they are going to have which is all you want as a parent.
Thank you bumblebees cannot recommend you enough.
My Daughter has started in catapillars in Jan and is absolutely thriving. The staff in that room and second to none and i honestly could not feel safer with knowing my child is with those women! Outstanding service so far and i'm very happy we chose bumblebees woolwell for our baby girl!
Thank you for your positive feedback, we are glad you are please with the service the team provide.
Our boys absolutely love this nursery. I couldn't ask for a better place to help support our family and I trust my boys are safe and happy when in their care! I'd definitely recommend them! Thank you for all you do!
The boys are a pleasure to look after! Thank you for your lovely feedback.
Bumblebees Day Nursery is absolutely amazing! My eldest started at 9 months old and has gone all the way through to pre school now. And my youngest started at the beginning of December at 11 months old. I cannot fault any member of staff. How welcoming they are to everyone at the start of the day, how the staff work really hard to get to know each child individually, they do great activities throughout the day, even day trips outside of pre school which the children love, have great extra facilities coming into the nursery such as pony visits and magicians etc, offer great choice of meals. I literally cannot fault any single thing and our children both love it! The staff are the nicest people I have ever met! Thank you bumblebees you are all amazing!
We are so pleased you are happy with the care and opportunities our team provide for your girls. It is great for the team to receive this recognition.
My eldest is 4.5 and has a couple of months left in preschool before she starts school in September. She started at Bumblebees when she was 13 months old and has worked her way through the different aged rooms. She has loved every room and has grown in confidence which has been amazing to see. She absolutely loves all the crafting activities and also playing outside. My youngest is now 13 months and started her journey with Bumblebees last month. The staff in the baby room remember my eldest which is so lovely, it really does feel like one big family. The new app is great and communication is fantastic. Thank you Bumblebees for looking after my girls!
Thank you for your feedback, it really does mean so much to our team!
Staff are friendly and communicative, they know what they're doing and my baby loves being with them. They're accommodating for whatever we ask of them and I feel at ease whenever I come in. I'm so glad that we picked this nursery!
Love this nursery, my daughter has been here since she was 9months old and she will be 4 in September. She loves being here and all the staff they are fantastic and so understanding of everything. They really helped me get her toilet trained after her 3rd birthday as I was struggling. They are always there with tips suggestions on anything which is great. My son will be attending nursery in August which will be good. Love the pictures I get sent about her days and know she is well looked after. Thank you all. The setting is nice and spacious and the garden is great. Whenever I phone up asking a question etc they always get back to me quickly.
The staff are so lovely, they know our children well and show them so much love and support.
They are open full time which is a massive relief during holidays. Bumblebees planned activities and fun and educational. I'll be sad in Summer when our child leaves, they really have been wonderful. Both children are going to leave with some brilliant friendships ( and so am I)
She has only been in the upstairs rooms but the teams that we have experienced are amazing. All very friendly, energetic and engaging. Anyone of the team can tell you how your child's day has been on pick up. The activities and learning are second to none.
The office staff are lovely, very responsive to calls and emails and know all the children by name.
It truly is a great place and we are so pleased with how she is developing and growing.
Our daughter has been attending bumblebees since she was 18 months old, she is now 3 years old and she has loved every minute. She joined the pre-school room at the end of last year, and to say she has thrived is an understatement. Every week she has learnt something new and exciting and she comes home with lovely stories of what she got up to and the friends she has made. We are so proud of her and couldn't be more grateful to the brilliant staff at Bumblebees who really do go above and beyond for the children.
