Busy Bees Birmingham Kings Heath

We have had two children attend Busy Bees King Heath and we couldn't have asked for better. Both children have been happy and enjoyed their time here. Staff are lovely and really care about the children. Communication is excellent and the parent zone app is, in particular, an added bonus in seeing what the children are up to.

I think the nursery is brilliant. Staff are all welcoming and friendly, and all seem to know my child. I've never had any problems or concerns and my daughter is always happy when coming and leaving.

Our daughter started attending in January 2020 and has absolutely thrived since coming here to Busy Bees at Birmingham Kings Heath. The staff are amazing and went the extra mile to ensure she settled in and was happy. We had no issues with her development and with the use of the Parentzone app we were given daily and hourly feedback from her key workers. Over the past year, we have seen for ourselves how confident our daughter has become both in terms of her social and emotional development and we feel this has been down to her key workers. In spite of Coronavirus, the nursery went the extra mile to ensure safety and wellbeing and we had and have no concerns. A big thank you to the centre director and all of the staff.

This year has been a tough one and the nursery have managed everything in a safe manner. Thank you to Busy Bees.

My son has attended Busy Bees at Birmingham Kings Heath since he was 12 months old; he is now 4 and I have never doubted my choice to send him here. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the children and my son calls them his best friends! I love the recently implemented “ParentZone” which is an app that informs parents/carers what their child has eaten, provides feedback and photos of what their child has been up to and observations so you can see how they are progressing. It really makes my day to see what my son has been getting up to!

My children have attended Busy Bees for 3 days a week since turning 3 in August. Before this, they attended once a week. I have been incredibly impressed with the nursery, the staff, the environment and the learning. It is a happy and safe place which my children love attending. Staff go above and beyond to make learning fun and creative. The activities are well planned and appropriate, they are often related to the children's individual interests. Extra support was given to the children when they were reluctant to attend when they started in the preschool room which has allowed them to bond well with the staff and now are confident and happy to attend. I have no complaints at all and would recommend to anyone. As a teacher, I wanted an environment that would support my children before they begin school and this nursery is fantastic.

Our son attends this nursery and we could not be happier. I was an extremely nervous parent and cried for two weeks solid dropping him off when he started in September but the care that the staff give him and us as parents is amazing. He has come on leaps and bounds and loves going to "beeeeeezzzz". All the staff are wonderful. A shout out to 4 members of staff in particular who our son talks about non-stop at home. The manager is also never too busy to answer any questions or concerns. The new app is amazing and we get online real-time updates including observations, assessments and just fun pictures of what he is doing throughout the day.

I can highly recommend this nursery. The staff go above and beyond their duties in both the care of children and communicating with parents. Their response to the Covid-19 pandemic has only served to shine a greater light on this. Thank you to all staff!

I’m very pleased with the nursery and the service it offers. My daughter seems to love attending and you can see the progress she has made since she started. The staff are all extremely helpful. There has been a recent change to the app which has been a mixed blessing. The regular photos we now have access to are wonderful but I do miss the day to day contact with staff.

Our three-year-old daughter has been going to Busy Bees for nearly a year now and has been very happy there. Since we had moved house at the time, we were first a bit worried how quickly she would settle in the new environment, but she really loves going to nursery. There is a good balance of outdoor and indoor activities and we especially like the high-quality food that is cooked on site. Last Christmas the kids prepared a nativity play, which meant lots of singing and dancing at home as well, and the nursery offers some extra activities like sports club (for a very small fee), which we attended earlier this year and which gave us lots of ideas for activities. There is also the opportunity to borrow books from the rooms' bookshelves to share their favourite stories at home. The carers/teachers are all very friendly and helpful and also encourage the children to help with tasks like tidying up at the end of the day, which made it easy for us to introduce our own tidy up routine at home.

If I had another child I would no hesitation in sending her/him to this nursery.

Such a friendly nursery. The staff are warm and welcoming and have invested so much into my children. Communication is great and my children have been happy and settled there since day 1. The food is cooked from scratch on the premises too!

We would thoroughly recommend them.

We found ourselves at this nursery following the temporary closure of our nursery in Longbridge. The manager and the team at Kings Heath welcomed us with open arms and immediately put my worries at ease. The nursery is clean, spacious and the children seem genuinely happy to be there. My son soon settled in and built strong relationships with a number of staff members and children at the nursery. The garden is a gorgeous space with lots of activities for the children to get stuck into. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his holiday at Kings Heath and I'd definitely recommend this nursery to anyone in the area. Thank you!

I feel so relaxed when I drop my son off at nursery. The staff really care about the children and it seems more than just a day job. My son loves going to nursery! Thank you.

I am really happy with how quickly my child has settled into the Infant Suite. The staff that work in that room are amazing and extremely brilliant with my baby. The care and love they give him is reassuring and I know when I leave my baby he is always happy and smiling.

The nursey is fantastic and ticks all the boxes for my son.

He has come on so much since going there and is really happy. All the staff finds the time to go through everything they have done throughout the day with you which I think is great.

Busy Bees has been such an amazing place for our daughter. She has learnt so much, developed fantastic communication skills and is noticeably happy after a day at nursery. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t be happier!

Keep up the amazing work. You never know, child number 2 might make an appearance one day!

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 11 months old! She has loved it, the staff have all been really caring, she has learnt a lot of key stage 1 fundamentals and is certainly ready for school!

Would certainly recommend this nursery!
