The communication from the staff is great both via his book and the Tapestry app.
The attention he gets from the staff has really helped him settle in, really can’t fault them and would recommend to anyone.
We have been extremely pleased with the care given to my son at Bumblebees Nursery since he joined 8 months ago. The facilities and resources are fantastic (the outdoor space in particular), and it always seems to be calm and well organised. Communication about how my son has been doing has been great - both in person and through Tapestry (the online learning journal). I have always found the staff to be friendly, caring and enthusiastic and they are very responsive to requests and questions. My son is happy here and I certainly recommend Bumblebees without hesitation.
My son loves attending Bumblebees. He attended before school age and now goes to their morning and afterschool club. I am really impressed with the facilities and the staff are extremely caring, friendly and professional.
My Great grandson really enjoys the Hive holiday club and all the activities, he tells me that he has a great time there!
I have 3 children ranging from age 7 to 18 and all 3 have always been at nurseries full time in different cities in the U.K. Bumblebees has been by far the best for many different reasons. They are very accommodating, considering I only ever need childcare during school holidays, and my daughter always looks forward to going there. Their facilities are great, and staff always friendly.
The hours of opening are good, as they allow parents to work full time and still have childcare at either end of the day. The food that is provided is good quality and it means that I also do not have to provide a packed lunch for example, which makes my day flow better, as all of her nutritional needs are met in the 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks a day that she receives. One less thing for me to worry about! I can't fault it and would most certainly recommend it.
My daughter has settled into the nursery extremely well. She only goes in for one day a week at the moment but always looks forward to her day at nursery. The staff are amazing, all very attentive towards the children, they work very hard. I have noticed a huge difference in my daughter since being at Bumblebees, she has gained confidence and learnt so much already at a very young age. She particularly looks forward to garden time when they get their hat and boots on and go outside to play.
She has made some lovely friends and it's a huge comfort to me that she has settled in so well.
Great nursery. My youngest has attended from 10 months old and I have no complaints. Staff are very caring and know my child very well. They also seem to have endless enthusiasm and constantly seem to be interacting with the children. There are many activities on offer and outside space is good too. They have been very flexible with letting me add on extra occasional sessions with minimal notice. Definitely better than several nurseries that my older son attended (some of which were rated by Ofsted as outstanding).
We have used Bumblebees for both our boys and have been very pleased with how quickly they both settled and how much they enjoyed/enjoy attending pre school. The staff are always warm and friendly. The management team are very easily approachable and respond quickly to emails or messages left. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bumblebees to friends and family.
I was very apprehensive about my son going to a nursery, but he has been at Bumblebees for 2 years now and they are fantastic.
You can also see that money is always going back into the nursery, they are always renewing something and all is kept very clean.
Most importantly my son is always happy when he's there and I feel confident leaving him in their care.
I have been using Bumblebees since my son was 9 months old. He is now at school and I continue to use the hive and after-school club. The staff are so friendly and have such a positive ethos. You are updated continuously with feedback on how well your child is doing. The activities are great and the atmosphere in each of the rooms is fabulous, I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
I haven’t got one negative thing to say about Bumble Bees. Both my children started here at a very young age and it was like home from home to them. The staff loved our children as if they were their own and helped sculpt them into the children they have become. We were devastated to have to move them due to relocating and just wished we could have taken them all with us! The management/finance team answered every query pretty much immediately and were always there to answer any question. Undoubtedly one of the best nurseries in Plymouth.
Fantastic nursery, both my sons attend and I couldn't ask for better care. The facilities are great and all the staff are lovely, kind and caring whilst ensuring the children are progressing as they should be. I would highly recommend Bumblebees to anyone looking for a nursery.
I have used Bumblebees since its opening 10 plus years ago and have been very happy with the level of care for all of my children. The staff are all lovely and caring. Management always try their best to accommodate your changing childcare needs.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Bumblebees. My daughter has been going since she was 10 months and is now 3 years. She is always happy to go and often talks about the staff as if they are friends.
They have helped to encourage her independence and feel pride in her accomplishments.
Great facilities including a lovely outdoor space.
I was worried about my daughter attending Nursery when I went back to work, but Bumblebees was the perfect choice. My daughter is happy, well cared for and has developed and learnt so many new things. Very happy to recommend Bumblebees to anyone.
My third child currently attends Bumblebees Nursery as have my other two children before her. I looked at several nurseries before selecting this one and I loved the friendly warm atmosphere that it creates for the children. I've now been using this nursery for eight years and each of my children have very different personalities, and the nursery staff have been amazing at supporting each child to develop in a very comforting atmosphere.
The activities are always varied and the children are encouraged to spend time outside playing.
All of the staff that I've come into contact with, are always enthusiastic and they really take time to get to know the children and bond with them.
