I can't recommend this nursery enough, both my girls attend and they absolutely love it, you can tell the staff are not just there doing a 'job' they actually care for the children & their development, they get to know each child individually and spend time with them knowing what they like & don't ect. The activities they do, the children love. It's such a fun safe environment and i would not have my girls anywhere else!!
Can't recommend bumblebees enough, my son has been attending since he was only 4 months old. He is 13 months now and absolutely thriving at nursery. They always made sure that the room had a safe area that was age appropriate for him when he was a very little baby. As he grew, they adapted the environment, to again- make sure it was age appropriate. Now he's up on his feet and loving running around with the others! From the moment he started, all the staff have been friendly, informative and helpful. Regular updates via the app, and always happy to answer any questions we have! Our son loves his time there, so much so that when we collect him, he's not bothered about seeing us at all! There's always fun activities for him to do and he's never bored! he sleeps so well at night on his nursery days! They also provide a good range of healthy dinners & snacks which is so reassuring to us as parents. Thank you so much to all his bumblebees family <3
My daughter went to Bumblebees for around 2 years and now my son going and that is the best thing happened to them. Lovely and caring staff. My kids learned a lot and got a good base in their knowledge from here. I am so happy that my kids went and going to Bumblebees. They have the best policies and curriculum to help children learn their best and also make parents feel their kids are safe. Good facility which is safe for kids and help them learn different things everyday. Best team of staff and always help with additional needs in short notice in the best way they can. I would recommend it with 5 star.
For a mother whose child has an additional need, bumblebees has always been warm and welcoming.
I can't recommend bumblebees enough and praise their care for the children.
Staff have gone above and beyond to offer to drop his favourite toy or medicine to our house after accidentally leaving it there.
As a Covid baby, she had very little interaction outside of her immediate family until she joined at 12 months. The team have been amazing throughout at caring for and nurturing her to become the cheeky and confident little girl she is today.
At every stage, she's had fantastic key persons who have kept us up to date with her development, given excellent feedback on her day and provided peace of mind to me, as a working mum, knowing she's in the best hands.
I can't recommend Bumblebees highly enough. They are an exceptional childcare setting and just the kindest team of people.
I would say my child will miss them moving up to school this year but she will carry on with them as a regular attendee at The Hive.
My twins have attended the nursery for nearly two years now, they absolutely love it. The staff are so nice and go above and beyond to keep the children safe and in a very happy environment. Lots of space and activities, I would highly recommend this nursery.
Both our children go here and they have both developed amazingly since attending Bumblebees Day Nursery.
Our eldest is moving room soon and the girls in the new room all already knew his name months ago - and have said to us, how they are looking forward to having him in there.
Our youngest gets so much care and attention as well in the baby room! Thank you so much girls!
The development of our girl is a testament to the activities and interactions she gets to experience at nursery. Each area for the different age groups is ideal and we love that there are outside spaces for even the youngest children. Many nurseries don't have outside space for under 1s and our daughter loves the amount of fresh air and outdoor play Bumblebees encourage.
The variety of food on offer is superb and it's great that it is freshly prepared onsite.
The daily updates on the online portal for younger children are wonderful for parents who are anxious to see how their little one is getting on.
Overall, we're thrilled with our choice of nursery and we're so confident in the care our daughter receives. Most importantly, she adores her time there!
The staff at Bumblebees are so friendly, always greet you with a smile and go above and beyond to provide a safe and enriching environment for the children. I have no worries leaving my little boy there as I know he's happy and well looked after. They share a care diary every day and photos and a report so you can see what they've been up to. I would highly recommend Bumblebees.
The rooms are full of good-quality toys and activities. The garden space is large and child-friendly. Great access to the nursery with adequate parking. It feels safe and like a home from home for our children.
My son has an allergy and all of this is catered too, he doesn't eat the same meal (some nurseries I looked at had the same 4/5 rotation allergy meals) he gets a wide variety of meals and seems to eat really well there.
I love the app and being able to see pictures and see what my son has been doing, he always has an amazing day. Cannot fault this nursery, best decision sending my little one there.
The staff are incredible, all staff members know most of the names of all the children even if that child isn't their key child it's really lovely to see.
Cannot wait for my little boy's journey to continue throughout the years.
As a new mum again, having an older daughter and starting again was very daunting and I was so out of touch with everything. Bumble Bees manager and staff were very welcoming, and always had time to answer all my questions, emails, and worries about leaving my daughter without me for the first time. My little girl has grown in confidence, loves her time at nursery, has a great bond with all the staff and is always happy to be going to nursery. She’s come on leaps and bounds and is thriving in a wonderful nursery setting that takes pride in making sure my daughter is well taken care of.
Bumblebees goes above and beyond in providing a five-star experience for both children and parents. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring, educational, and enriching environment for their children (the all weather outdoor space is amazing!). My two children attend Bumblebees and they absolutely thrive here with the help of amazing staff who genuinely care for each and every child. I wouldn't send them anywhere else.
My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and I can put my full trust in them caring for her! They go above and beyond for my daughter and all the other children who attend and even the parents/guardians! Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Lovely staff and safe and friendly environment.
My son started going to Bumblebees when he was about eight months, and now at two and half years, there's never been an instant when we regretted that decision. We feel lucky to have this nursery because they provide the best care for all of them. He is both emotionally and academically supported, and simply loves going there every morning. There have even been days when he's been enjoying himself so much he doesn't want to come back home! It makes me both jealous, but at the same time, I feel safe and confident about where I leave my son while I work. Thank you, Bumblebees and all its wonderful staff for being who you are.
My child has been going to Bumblebees Nursery since one year old. I cannot fault it! Have recommended it to many friends! People comment on how advanced my child is and Bumblebees are a huge part of this! My child is not even two yet and can count to twenty, knows their colours, sings along to songs and is incredibly creative. I even upped the care from three days per week to four because they love it so much! Thank you for always providing unbeatable care for my absolute world!
Incredible nursery, really supportive of all children and parents. Definitely would recommend as a great setting to send children to! Brilliant outdoor area with lots of activities for the children.
Bumblebee's are a fantastic nursery. My son has attended since he will 9 months old (now 2 years old) and has had a brilliant experience. All staff are so kind, caring and patient. My son's speech and general learning skills are really developing and Bumblebees have a big part to play in that. My son is so happy at Bumblebees and always comes home excited to tell me about his day. Could not recommend Bumblebees, enough.
My daughter has been at Bumblebees for just over a year and she loves going there. She has come on leaps and bounds. She is always happy to go in in the mornings because the staff are so welcoming and they all do an amazing job. Would recommend to everyone.
