Bumblebees stood out by far as an inviting, caring and safe nursery for our children. The staff are extremely nurturing, patient and very attentive. Although we moved house further away, we wouldn't have put our children anywhere else and would certainly recommend to others.
We moved our children out of another nursery into this one and I didn't know if I was doing the right thing. However, since bringing them to this nursery the boys have thrived and have developed far better than they had done. They run straight in and don't even care when we leave and they don't cry when we pick them up which is what we were used to. They are happy and love the outdoor space to run around and let off some steam. When we pick them up they are so tired and we know it's because they have had such a good day. Their behaviours and manners have really improved. It has made me realise I should have sent them here from the start!
Fantastic nursery! Currently using them for my second child after such a great experience with the first. The nursery is very well run, the food is cooked on-site and the staff are brilliant.
What a wonderful nursery this is. Both of my children came here, one from a few months old and the other for preschool. The senior staff lead the nursery well, are open to suggestions and are constantly looking to improve their practise and resources. All the staff are friendly and caring, putting the children’s needs first.
Fantastic daycare. Great friendly staff. Easy to deal with. Communication excellent from admin to newsletters etc. My child misses going here and is glad to be returning for The Hive after school club, which I'm sure will be just as fantastic. Thank you.
We have used Bumblebees for 2 children and they have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. It is a friendly place and the staff are superb.
I have two children who attend Bumblebees and my children and I love the nursery.
They made me feel very comfortable about leaving my children there, and my kids always enjoy their day, my eldest always comes home telling me about all the activities he’s done during the morning. Both my children have formed great relationships with the ladies that work there, which just adds to how comfortable I feel during the day knowing they are there.
Both my children have hot dinners at nursery and I’ve always been impressed by the choices and it’s helped my eldest try things he might not have at home, also the management have always been really helpful when it comes to changing days or times and have always kept me informed about everything I need to know.
The staff also have great activities and equipment for him to play with and they explain what he gets out of it. The nursery is really friendly, welcoming with kind enthusiastic staff, who are really interested and care about the little ones.
Each and every member of staff knows each and every child inside out. Bumblebees is warm and kind. Staff and management display the utmost professionalism but above all, genuine care. Everyone is happy and enthused to deliver an exceptional standard of care. A standard that is unique, personalised and committed. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The nursery is accommodating and flexible and its the little touches that also compliment so well. Always doing new things with the children and keeping them engaged and enthused - from the topics of the term to visits, from cards made to celebrate any event and home baking! Thank you Bumblebees team - keep up the work you do and never stop!
Amazing nursery. Both my children have attended since very young ages. The girls have genuine love for all the children there and this shows each and every day. There is NEVER a glum face - whatever time of day you come to collect your child. It is like dropping them off with family while you go to work.
The managing staff/owners really can do not do enough for you. If you ask - they always try their best to accommodate. I couldn't recommend Bumblebees highly enough!
My daughter is very happy at the nursery and I am extremely pleased with how they care for my daughter.
We have sent both our children to Bumblebees and the care provided has been outstanding. Both our children have loved going there and all the staff are excellent. Would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.
My daughter thrived at this wonderful nursery. There wasn't anything that the staff would not do for her, even though she has spina bifida and is double incontinent nothing was too much trouble for them regarding her level of care that she needed.
The fact that she had to leave and go 'big school' upset us, out to the unknown world for her, but they prepared her exceptionally well for her and Mummy's transition. The bosses recruit the best staff, and she still misses them in preschool now.
I was nervous when going back to work about leaving my little one at nursery, he started at 8 months old. I can honestly say the staff here are lovely and put my mind at ease. He only attends one day a week but it has done him the world of good. The greeting he gets from the staff the moment we walk in is so welcoming and I love being able to read about what he has done for the day. He eats a great variety here and they even manage to get him to nap! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
My son started Bumblebees as a shy and anxious 16-month-old. He’s now just turned 2 and the difference in him is amazing, he now walks in confidently and happy. All the staff are fantastic and so friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t wish for a better nursery for my son. Thank you, Bumblebees!
Staff are very attentive of his needs and best of all he has lots of fun! He comes home with new songs and phrases all the time, thank you!!
Both of my girls have progressed through the rooms at the nursery over the past 3 years and have received excellent care at all stages. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else and highly recommend Bumblebees. It's a caring, safe and fun environment with wonderful staff!
Overall excellent nursery. Would highly recommend Bumblebees to others. The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. Always felt it was a safe environment for my child.
The staff are really friendly, they are welcoming and kind and caring, my children love going and can't wait to go back to have more fun with their friends, the food is healthy and caters to all, each room caters to the children within to help them grow and blossom and prepare them for the next stage.
So friendly and welcoming. My son loves his days there and my baby will be joining in a few months as well.
