We absolutely love Bumblebees and are so glad we chose them as our nursery! Our little girl settled in so quickly and adores the girls there. The setting itself is lovely, so warm and welcoming. Communication is fab and the team just can’t do enough! We recommend Bumblebees to everyone.
Outstanding staff - my son has thrived in this happy learning environment. The staff are always friendly and seen to be active and engaging with the kids. They have also accommodated any extra requests that I have.
I thoroughly recommend Bumblebees. My daughter has been going since she was 13 months old and is turning four on Sunday. She is quite a shy little girl and has been very emotional settling into each room as she has moved rooms ready for preschool. The staff have done over and above to settle her, and it is very much appreciated. Thank you so much.
My sons have been attending Bumblebees just after he turned 1 and I was massively anxious about leaving him with anyone. The management and the nursery teachers were all super supportive and understanding and made his transition from home to nursery as smooth as possible for us both. Nothing too much trouble for them and my son who is nearly three now absolutely loves his two days there. The staff are all professional but so lovely and friendly, I honestly wouldn’t want to place him in another nursery now until he leaves for school.
I have a very shy 3-year-old girl who would never go to anyone apart from her parents. The first few weeks was hard including tears and sickness from nervousness but Bumblebees knew exactly what to do to help her calm down and settle her, and in such a short time of even knowing her! They were amazing and made it a stress-free journey for both of us! My 3-year-old now gets incredibly excited when we pull in to nursery and surprises me with the speech, singing and actions she has developed while being in nursery for only such a short time! All the staff are so polite and welcoming and the nursery has such a warm homely feeling to it. Couldn’t think of a better nursery!
Since lockdown Bumblebees has been very clear on its policies and procedures and given me the reassurance any parent would want during this time. They’ve been very supportive of my son's needs and gone above and beyond to support his speech therapy and learning needs. I only wish they weren’t so busy so my son could attend full-time. But it’s a good indicator of how good they really are when there’s a waiting list. The staff are warm and friendly and keep me up to date on my son's progress.
A real family environment for the children to attend. Our son had previously enjoyed the nursery, developing some great friendships and we wish he had been sent here from the start of his educational experience. Our daughter started here recently and cried the first day we left her but never again! She has a tremendous relationship with the staff, who always offer feedback on daily activities and provide great development opportunities. It is very reassuring to have your child brought up in the Bumblebees environment. Thanks to all the team.
I love this nursery! My children have thrived here and it's such a loving environment. I feel completely at ease leaving my children here as I know they will be nurtured and cared for. I highly recommend Bumblebees.
I love this nursery. My daughter loves attending and has so much fun. The gardens are large and safe and there is a great range of toys throughout the nursery. The food and drinks given to the children are always good quality food and healthy and hearty options. I always get told what my daughter has done with the diary they give us and pictures shown on Tapestry. Overall we both love the place. Highly recommended.
My daughter has been coming to Bumblebees for a few years now. There are not enough positive words that I can describe for this nursery. The staff have a smile on their faces first thing in the morning and at the end of the day. Bumblebees is the best nursery around and I’m so so pleased my daughter has the experience of being at this nursery. You can tell how much the staff adore all of the children and as a parent its truly the best thing to see. Thank you.
Very accommodating and extremely friendly. I wouldn't have my precious people anywhere else!!!
If you have children, that you don't want to leave but have too. This definitely is the place for you and your little people.
Thank you so much, guys!
As a first-time mum I had no experience with nurseries and was very apprehensive about leaving my son, he has settled in well and the staff are very reassuring and attentive. My son always has a fantastic time and his development is excellent.
Amazing Nursery! The staff are so lovely with my son...always welcoming, very caring, understanding and patient. Thank you very much!
Bumblebees day nursery are such a great team all the girls are amazing! So caring, thoughtful and just amazing at what they do! I would highly recommend this nursery.
My daughter is 15 months old and has been attending Bumblebees for 7 months now. She has such a great relationship with the staff and they made that return to work a bit easier. My daughter also has allergies which add an extra level of worry when leaving her anywhere but I have absolute confidence that her needs are being met and the communication between home and nursery is great. Really is her home from home.
My daughter has been attending Bumblebees since she was 9 months old and still now aged 5 attends the Holiday Hive club in the school holidays. She still loves attending and I love the connection she still has with the staff. From day one the staff have made her (and me) feel secure and provided nothing but fantastic care! All the staff are a real credit and it really does feel like “dropping” your child off to the family. I would highly recommend Bumblebees!
Amazing nursery, the staff are so lovely with my son. Always welcoming and communication is great! My son is thriving no doubt with the help from Bumblebees I’m sure!
Both my grandchildren have attended Bumblebees. I have nothing but praise for the staff of Bumblebees and management. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Very caring, understanding, considerate. Our Grandson now at school he attends the Hive holiday club as he enjoys Bumblebees. Well done team Bumblebees.
Bumblebees Day Nursery is beyond perfect, both of my children have attended and I couldn’t recommend them enough. All of the staff members are friendly, vibrant and very compassionate towards not only the children but also the parents; understanding when it is difficult for the child the separation from their parents. I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in safe hands, having fun and learning in different fun and exciting ways. The communication between staff and parents is brilliant - I am never left wondering how the day went or what my children go up to. The outside area is full of exciting apparatus that are not only fun but involve a huge variety of ways to learn. I especially love how the nursery adapts to home life in things such as potty training and nap times, nothing is too much trouble and I will be very sad to say goodbye when my youngest is of school age. Hearing that the nursery has an OUTSTANDING Ofsted report is Just proof of how amazing they really are.
My little one loves Bumblebees, the staff are extremely nurturing, patient and very attentive. The children have loads of activities to keep them happy indoors and out with a big garden area to play in. I would certainly recommend to others.
