Review from Nada F (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can’t say enough good things about this place. My son has only just left Busy Bees after being there for three years. I can honestly say they are the most wonderful, professional, amazing staff you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. They treat each child as an individual and ensure a personalised approach to their care and their learning. Nothing was too much trouble for them and my son thrived throughout his time here. The toys, equipment and facilities are plentiful and varied and the outdoor space was fun and used often by the kids. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to future parents.

Review from Sandra P (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The time that my son spent at the nursery was precious for his development, confidence, and growth. The staff and management are so loving and caring that it shows across the nursery. I like their activities and involvement in the community. The food is really healthy (not just "starchy and sweet" crowd-pleasing dishes). We relocated recently but my son remembered his teachers for a long long time.

Thank you Bees at Edgbaston for the loving care you provided!

Very friendly staff and always happy to help. My child is very happy here. I like how I can look at what she has eaten and done throughout the day via Iconnect and also see pictures of what she has done during the day. My daughter also loves the variety of food on offer.

Review from Jasmine G (Mother of Child) published on 14 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

First things first, the nursery is clean, colourful, has a variety of educational activities, and a diverse healthy menu so all of the things that you would initially look at. The staff are amazing! My child only went for Pre-School which was cut short due to COVID-19 but in that short space of time, all staff formed a great relationship with not only my child but our family unit. They also advocate for children who may have a developmental delay and/or SEN. I highly recommend this nursery and when I have my final child, I will be sending them there.

My son really likes the Busy Bees in Edgbaston. I love the child care giving me detailed assessments about my son's development and feel so much support. Experiences here have been more than I expected. My son has grown up in so many ways, quicker than my expectations.

Overall Experience

The nursery staff are attentive and I trust them with my son. The staff work hard to develop a good relationship with both parents and children. Our son is happy at nursery and his development has only improved since attending. We are happy with the standard of care provided and actively recommend the nursery to others.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Busy Bees for a year and I have had only great experiences with the staff both in the babies and toddlers room, she love sit and we always feel at ease dropping her off knowing she's well taken care of. They've also been great in dealing with medical needs concerning her allergies and eczema.

Whilst my daughter has been at Busy Bees nursery, she started here when she was 9 months old. She's had an amazing start in life. I am happy I put her into nursery. It's been a good journey. The staff at Busy Bees are really good and met my daughter's needs.

Overall Experience

We have been very happy with my daughter's time at Busy Bees Edgbaston. All staff have been friendly, cheerful and helpful. My daughter has always been very happy, telling me what she has done throughout the day. Feedback and parent zone very helpful to know daughter is OK and having a good day. I knew as soon as we walked in to view the nursery that it would be exactly what my daughter would need. We are sad to be leaving but have to due to circumstances. We will happily recommend this nursery. Thank you.

Review from Oliver B (Father of Child) published on 2 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter had a wonderful in her 12 months at Busy Bees in Edgbaston, she grew and developed into such a little character and personality. She was part-time and we were so impressed with the bond she had with the staff. They work so hard and long hours which we really noticed as parents. We had funny shift patterns which Busy Bees were able to accommodate for us. We have left with heavy hearts, and our daughter is really going to miss you all.

Overall Experience
My daughter has had a great time at the nursery. All thanks to the lovely and caring staff she has had during her time ar the under 1 year room and pre-toddler room.

The staff have encouraged my daughter to be a very independent young lady. Special mention to two staff members, in particular, who have taken very good care of my daughter. Having said that, everyone of the staff have been fantastic.

Review from Kay B (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have been very impressed with Busy Bees right from the start including the settling in sessions, where my son was included in meal times. My son has gone from a shy toddler to a confident little man and I was surprised at how quickly he settled in.
If it wasn't for my work location changing, I would never consider moving my son to a different nursery.

All the staff have been very nice and have helped my son settle in. Thank you so much to all the staff at Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since July 2016. He is very happy and has made lots of friends. His development is fantastic. I move location in a couple of months and I have decided to keep my son here because it is great. It will add to travel time but will be worth it. :)

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.
