Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very welcoming setting even whilst following Covid19 guidelines. The manager is very friendly and approachable as well as knowledgeable. The staff were very warm and welcoming and made us all feel at ease. Nothing is a bother, and any requests that you may have are accommodated as much as possible.
My little girl was keen to get in and play and settled well. The staff give information at the end of the session, again within the rules with regards to Covid19 regulations. I have been very happy with the setting and staff and feel very comfortable and happy sending my little girl to the setting! Thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome!

Great nursery. Great facilities. Amazing staff.
I feel really comfortable that my son is here while I am at work. My son loves the nursery and the staff, all of whom have taken the time to get to know him as an individual. The homemade food is a bonus and my son always enjoys it. The outdoor play
facilities are also brilliant and they spend plenty of time out there. Overall it has a really safe and happy feel to it.

Overall we are extremely happy with the service provided by Busy Bees Weymouth. Our soon to be 2-year-old daughter always leaves with a smile on her face having taken part in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The healthy food served is obviously amazing as she more often than not eats everything
she’s given and sometimes seconds! We feel her development has improved no end since joining Busy Bees last year.

Lovely nursery. Staff all really welcoming and know all the children.
My son has been coming here for over 2 years and he loves it. Has made some lovely friends and he adores the staff. Will be sad when he leaves for school in August.
It's a shame there's no trips for the children but understand not
all nurseries can offer this.
Would definitely recommend to other parents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 3 year old has been going for the last 18 months or so and absolutely loves it. He’s always excited to go and is always so happy when he comes home. He’s made some lovely little friends and it’s been great to see him turn into such a confident, happy, caring and well-behaved boy.
A particular shout
out to on member of staff, who my little boy just loves and adores!
The ratings are hard to do and would be easier with a bit more regular feedback from the nursery staff. A little recap of the day would be really helpful and lovely to hear as I’m not entirely sure what he does there most of the time! I’m just happy he’s happy there!

My son joined Busy Bees when he was 2 years 11 months and has thrived under their care and nurturing. My son struggles with a change of routine and was behind with some of his social development, but the team at Busy Bees have been fantastic and in the 8 months that he has attended Busy Bees we have
seen huge and positive changes in him as he develops his social skills and gains confidence. He loves it and a big thank you to everyone at Busy Bees.

Review from Kate S (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As an anxious, first time mum, finding the right childcare for my 11month old son was always going to be a tricky thing.
However, from the moment we walked trough the door at Busy Bees, we felt content and at ease. All member of staff we met were friendly, smiley and polite and made us feel welcome
and cared about, especially as I was a 'little' emotional.
The settling in sessions were brilliant before our proper start.
When my little boy started it was a tricky transition for us both but the staff were amazing! Such care and support to both of us.
My little boy is happy and loves attending and that's down to the team there.
I highly recommend this nursery and cannot thank them enough for helping both us to settle there.

The nursery was purpose built, so naturally has all the facilities a nursery could want, including lovely play areas outside.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My son is always happy to go.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started this nursery a couple of months ago and they have done all they can to make him feel welcome.
He is delayed with his speech and they have gone above and beyond to help him with improving this.
They keep parents updated on all areas of the child's day and do all they can to listen to
any concerns you may have.
Although there are several children in the group with him they ensure he has all the attention he needs and they do the best they can to make him feel special and valued.

From day one all staff at the nursery have been so amazing. Our little boy started in the baby room at 8.5 months old and is now 2.5 years in the toddler room. He loves going and always has a smile on his face when I collect him. I have so much peace of mind he's getting healthy meals, lots of water,
lots of outside play and so much positive development! All the staff are happy to go with whatever routine we have at home and help with difficult things like convincing a toddler to brush his teeth! Amazing nursery and staff and worth every penny!

My daughter always tells us about all the great activities she has been doing in pre-school and we have watched her grow and develop, learning new things every week. She has been with the nursery since she was a year and has always received great care.
