Busy Bees Birlingham

Thankyou to all the staff.

Busy Bees Birlingham have been outstanding from start to finish. Over the last four and half years they have given my son a safe, caring and nurturing environment. With their excellent staff and resources they have helped my son grown in confidence and given him a fantastic start in his development. Their care for us as a family during a difficult year will never be forgotten and will have an everlasting impact on both me and my son.

My daughter has been at busy bees birlingham since she was a year old. She has always loved her time there and will miss it as she starts school soon. The staff are fantastic at supporting her to become more confident and improve her skills & development. Each key worker she has had has build a lovely bond with. They are always available to discuss any problems and can give advice if needed. We always enjoy our hand over at the end of each session and here what a lovely day shes had.

Birlingham Nursery is a fantastic learning environment for our child. Our son returns home, full of excitement and ideas from his learning day. A thankyou must go to the hardworking staff for creating such a warm & friendly place.

My son has thrived at Busy Bees in Birlingham. His development has been supported throughout. The staff are all really good with him, and its nice to know he's happy and safe. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Our daughter has been with Busy Bees Birlingham for the last 3 years and it has been a great experience for us & our daughter. From those first few unsure weeks all the staff made it feel safe, fun & welcoming and provide reassurance. One member of staff, in particular, has been with our daughter from the baby room through to preschool and has built a bond with our family we can't thank her & another member of staff enough. We would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Thank you all - especially the manager, 5 members of staff, in particular, and the chef. We will miss you all so very much.

Any child in your care is so very lucky

I cannot fault Busy Bees Birlingham. We sent both our sons there and in the combined 6 years they've been attending they've always been fantastic. Both our boys always loved going and their development was amazing.

The team have done a fantastic job of supporting, nurturing and engaging my child since he started attending 3 years ago. They have always made us feel welcome and have encouraged us to be involved. Their communication has been brilliant whether that be daily feedback on the doorstep or photos through the app. My son made strong connections with staff members and often talked about them without encouragement. They actively built his favourite things, such as superhero characters, into play ensuring he was really engaged, and they were able to tell me what he enjoys and what he's good at. They've always encouraged him mentally as well as physically and he has loved spending time in the outdoor classroom and having free flow access to the garden whatever the weather. More recently in preparation for school they have reinforced valuable skills such as letter and number recognition, writing and building emotional resillience. We can't thank them enough.

Amazing staff. Always give us a good update when we pick our daughter up. The staff are really good with our daughter and so friendly. Our daughter is so happy at the nursery and all the staff there. She has made loads of friends. The children are always given opportunities to learn through play. The staff always give thorough updates throughout the day on the online portal on what the child has been eating and any nappy changes they have had. The online portal also gives the opportunity to see photos of what your child has been getting up to with photos and comments from the staff.

The nursery staff are always friendly and my son enjoys spending time with his key worker.

Our only disappointment is that the centre doesn't do trips outside of the centre like forest school or theatre trips.

I can't thank the team enough for all the care and support they provide for my son. He has really come on since being here, is happy and loves coming. Thank you for all you do to look after our boy.

My daughter loves attending although today was a little upset at drop off due to teething and being clingy the nursery updated me that she was happy and settled once inside. One of the ladies even approached me at pick-up to reassure me she was okay, which was lovely she went out of her way to tell me as she was on her break. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees.

We are not British; we are citizens of a different country - but there has never been a day when we've felt lost or singled out. Busy Bees has always been warm and welcoming!

My daughter started just three months ago in the baby room and in that time the room has been closed on and off each week due to staffing, communication is awful and no development notes each week. The only development report I got was at the end because I asked for one after three months of absolutely nothing. We withdrew our daughter from here because they closed the room “indefinitely” from July 10th. Save your money and enrol your child at a quality provider!

My 19-month-old little boy has settled in really well at Busy Bees. He seems happy to attend in the morning and I always get a big smile when I collect him. The team have done well to settle him in and seem to be very organised when it comes to any safeguarding issues such as injuries he has sustained during a nursery day or at home. One improvement could be for more photos/comments to be uploaded onto the app, as we have received minimal in the last three months.

This is a very nurturing environment. My child previously struggled to settle at a different nursery. Thanks to some wonderful caring staff she settled really well despite this being during lockdown when I could not accompany her for settle sessions. The staff gave her plenty of cuddles and ensured her favourite books were available. She loves going to nursery now and her social development is brilliant. The food is healthy and well balanced, the staff are nurturing. The nursery is well managed and organised and (most importantly) our child is happy.

We have been very happy with Busy Bees Nursery at Birlingham. Our son (16 months) loves going there and happily goes in in the morning. His development has really come on in the past 6 months since he’s started nursery. The staff are all very friendly and professional; our son has a real bond with his key worker. I know they will get in touch if they have any concerns at all and they have really robust covid controls given that they can’t socially distance from the children. It seems like a really happy place and I never worry about my son being there. We love the information we get about what he’s been doing and the craft projects he brings home.
