Review from E R (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The team at Busy Bees Ashbourne have been absolutely brilliant during the uncertainty of the past few months. They've been in regular contact via email throughout lockdown sharing pictures and ideas to keep the children entertained. All of which helped to make the children's transition back to nursery seamless. Our children absolutely love going to Busy Bees Ashbourne, I can't recommend it enough.

Review from Caroline H (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by the team's handling of Covid-19 issues. My daughter (3.5) was very keen to go back, as she is so happy at nursery, and so we went back as soon as we could. I was a little apprehensive, but it has absolutely been the right decision, the 'bubble' system is working really well and my daughter is as full of joy at her days here than she ever has been. She is very happy to be back, and I know the team are doing a fantastic job at making things as normal/fun as possible whilst being as professional as ever. I would not hesitate to do the same again.

Overall Experience
My daughter started nursery here at age 1 and has loved every minute of it. She cheers when we arrive in the morning and I've seen her develop so much during her time at Treetops. The staff are warm, approachable and knowledgeable and the communication has always been excellent, I feel well informed as to how her day was.

The children get plenty of time outdoors and are always coming home with crafts and artwork. As a first-time parent putting my child into nursery, the experience was made so much easier because of the outstanding service we received at Treetops. I can not recommend the nursery enough.

Review from S L (Father of Child) published on 30 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A really excellent nursery. Our daughter moved to Treetops in February 2019 after being at a previous nursery for a few years. The nursery staff were so welcoming to her and she settled in so well very quickly. It was a shame that she only needed to stay for six months before moving onto the reception class at primary school. That said, they prepared her so well for moving on again.

Overall Experience

We are very grateful for the care that our son has received during his time at Treetops. The preschool room, in particular, has been excellent. With your support, he has made friends and built meaningful relationships with your guidance, he has learnt new skills and begun his education. We are very grateful to everyone who has been involved in his care over the years - thank you.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves coming to nursery. All the staff have welcomed her and really helped her settle in, she does not stop talking about them at home. Her keyworker is fantastic and supports my daughter through things such as potty training and has really taken the time to understand what helps settle/comfort, her enjoyments etc.

Review from Claire P (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Treetops is a great nursery full of smiley, bubbly staff who are very approachable and can't do enough to make sure the children are happy and safe. We have been using Treetops for the past seven years for our three children, it has proved invaluable as the only nursery we could find willing to be flexible for our different work shift patterns. All three of my children have had food allergies and the in house cook deals with this brilliantly, ensuring all meals are safe and varied. I can't recommend Treetops enough, it really is great and the children thrive!

Overall Experience

We had recently moved to the area when my daughter started at the nursery, the staff were fantastic during this transition time and really helped in making her feel settled and secure, that was nearly a year ago now and my daughter has come on leaps in her development often saying she wants to go to nursery even on her days off/weekends!

Review from Amy G (Mother of Child) published on 9 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery where the staff are extremely kind, friendly and always helpful. Both my girls enjoy coming and always enjoy their days there. Their learning through play is carefully planned to suit the children's interests and my eldest often repeats the learning she has done in play at home. It is always clean, tidy with areas of play organised. Feedback from the girls' day is always given and is helpful and informative.

Overall Experience

Very positive experience. My son has been at Treetops Ashbourne for just under 2 years. He enjoys the time spent there too and never has any issues with drop off/pick up.

I think the nursery does some great things/activities but doesn't always communicate them. Overall, very pleased and a shame to move nursery when we move home.

I came to the afternoon tea afternoon.
Treetops is very welcoming and the staff are very friendly.
My son loves coming to nursery and has made a very close bond with a particular member of staff who is amazing with him.

The nursery is clean and tidy and well managed.

Review from D B (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The nursery has put two excellent events on today. Firstly the McMillan coffee morning this morning followed by a stargazing evening tonight in which the children have thoroughly enjoyed and nicely finished off their planet learning/projects.

It was also nice for us parents to have time to speak to other parents and the staff at nursery who do a wonderful job looking after and educating our children.

My daughters both love going to nursery.
The staff are fantastic.

They both find activities stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding and we both would, ultimately, recommend the nursery to others.

Overall Experience

This nursery is very good. My child has been going to nursery since he was 1. However, he moved to Treetops in Ashbourne early on this year and he has settled in very well. The staff welcomed my son in from day 1 and really enjoys coming to nursery. I highly recommend this nursery to anybody.

The facilities at Treetops are great for 3-year-olds.
The one to one care is personal.
In the last year, our daughter has come on leaps and bounds.

She enjoys coming 3 days a week and tells us all about what happened every day.

Overall Experience

Our little boy started Treetops a few weeks ago and loves going. He has come on so much since starting and is now moving, full on crawling and pulling himself up. The food is great as it is so varied and means he's trying lots of different things. There is so much for him to do and explore in the baby room. Would highly recommend Treetops and the staff.
