Review from Hannah Rachel C (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Whilst our son has only been at Busy Bears for a short time, he has settled really well and appears to enjoy his days there. He is always smiling when we drop him off and pick him up, and in the pictures we see throughout the day. The ParentZone app used by the staff is brilliant for keeping in touch during the day. I love being able to get photos, videos and updates about what he's been doing, and to read the observations staff have made. The setting has also been responsive to requests we have had for our son's care which is also a big plus.

My son has been going to nursery for the past 7 months. At first, he struggled to settle in but now due to the hard-working and dedicated members of staff, he now can't wait to go into nursery in the mornings.

Review from Elizabeth C (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I sent my first child here from eleven months and my second child from ten months. From the moment I walked into Busy Bears almost six years ago, it’s felt like a home from home, where each child is recognised and supported as a unique little person. Communication with staff has always been relaxed and easy, one of my kids was unexpectedly unwell at nursery one day and the care they provided for her was outstanding.

Both my children have loved attending and I’ve always been very happy with the care the manager and her team give my children.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely nursery, lovely staff. My son had been coming here since he was 9 months old and he has learnt so much, learned to potty train, talking is amazing, and he can write his name. Their food is amazing and always cooked fresh. They are a lovely family to look after your child while your at work.

Review from Montana G (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started off part-time at first, so we weren't sure how he would cope being full time but he absolutely loves it. He loves his keyworkers and I'm proud of the progress he is making.
I think the Parent Zone app is such a smart idea and I love seeing what he's been up to in the day. And he eats like a Prince! Food always looks healthy and homely.
Staff are always friendly and informative and have handled all of my silly, 'first-time mum' questions with a smile.

Fabulous nursery, amazing staff and great facilities.

Review from Alish N (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is by far the best nursery around, my eldest daughter attended from the age of 2 till 6 (school run and holidays) and my middle daughter who is nearly 3 currently attends and has done for near 2 years, they have helped my girls to blossom from their shy shells, and become confident girls, no task is too small in helping you with and each staff member listens to you and does their up best to help with any concerns, my middle daughter always come out with a smile on her face even if she didn't go in with one, love to talk about her day, I couldn't recommend a greater set of people to look after my children and know they are in safe caring hands. I hope that my youngest will attend there in the future.

Review from Tom C (Father of Child) published on 31 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are lovely. One male staff member, in particular, is a huge hit with my daughter. A great mix of female and male staff which I think is important. Kind, understanding and keen to push both learning and fun. A great place.

My daughter loves Busy Bears! She has developed so much more, her talking and confidence to do things on her own is amazing thanks to the support of the staff. I can leave her guilt free knowing she is being well looked after.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery for around 6 months and she has blossomed. The staff are so helpful and caring. It’s wonderful what they do to keep parents updated on a day to day basis so you never feel like you have missed anything out whilst your away from your children.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending Busy Bears Day Nursery for just over 6 months and I am so pleased with the experience we have had.

From day 1 the staff were very helpful and co-operative in helping my son to pick up English as his second language. His key worker as well as the rest of the staff have been kind, helpful and great in assisting in his development.

Review from Anthony M (Father of Child) published on 7 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Busy Bears since he was 14 months old and now he is just turned 4. The staff have been brilliant and helped and guided him into the clever, happy little boy he is today. He often talks about all the exciting things he has been doing during the day. We will be very sad when he leaves for school in September, but thank you for everything Busy Bears have done.
