So happy with my children's progress since starting here. Both are more confident and have progressed so much. The staff are all friendly and helpful and have gone out of their way to know my children and tailor their learning by using their interests to encourage them.

Review from E W (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have experienced all stages (baby through to preschool) and have received consistent care and support from all staff. Their engagement and commitment to our child's development has been outstanding. The staff and setting are all trained and organised to a high standard, but are elevated by their genuine investment to support learning through fun. Our child has an extended family at Busy Bees and as parents, we highly regard and value each member of staff that has contributed to our child's development.

Excellent nursery with amazing staff! We have sent both our boys here. Because of Covid, we have had to drive out of our way to bring our son - but simply did not want to move him. Will miss the place when our son leaves in August.

So far my son has seemed more at ease in the company of his peers since starting, even showing more confidence with children at parties outside of nursery.

I have always been very happy for both my children to attend Busy Beeds Edgbaston. The staff have always been incredibly helpful, attentive and caring towards the children. It is obvious that they have a great time with the children and partake in many fun and creative activities.

Review from Rebecca M (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery is just fantastic. I never worry when my son is there. I know he loves going and more importantly, he loves the members of staff he interacts with. They have coped with coming out of lockdown brilliantly and I have no concerns with my son attending as I am confident they are doing everything they can to ensure the safety and health of all children and staff attending.

Review from Hayley W (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All three of my children have attended here, with my youngest currently attending preschool. The staff are friendly, polite and knowledgable about the children and their development. The activities are always fun and exciting, and I am always kept up to date with my child's learning, development, meals and events as well as lovely photos on the app. The meals on offer are all prepared freshly on-site, which have even been accredited by the NHS. This nursery is fantastic. My children have been perfectly looked after.

Diane Kennelly Job Title: Centre Director
Diane Kennelly

Hello my name is Diane and I am the Manager here at St James Road in Edgbaston. I have been working in childcare for over 27 years, 24 of which have been with Busy Bees. I have worked as a deputy manager and a senior room leader as well as being a manager for over 26 years. I also have a variety of experience in other areas of childcare including being a youth club leader and a brownie leader.

I am a mother of three and I have my level 4 qualification in Early Years as well as having completed many other courses such as, Safeguarding, First Aid at Work and Food Hygiene. I have also completed my Level 5 qualification in Management.

I find my job extremely fulfilling and I love nothing more then sitting in the base rooms and watching the children enjoying their fun filled days. The staff at Edgbaston are committed to providing quality childcare and they take great pride in watching the children grow and develop as they move through the rooms and eventually head off to school.
