I would recommend Busy Bees Kettering Central that my daughter has attended. My daughter absolutely loves the staff members, especially her key worker. The staff members I met and spoke to are absolutely lovely and it is easy to speak to all of them.
Staff are wonderful and always helpful. My daughter has settled in nicely and loves the staff in her room. A good variety of activities to suit the times of the year like Mother's Day, Christmas and Diwali.
I couldn’t sing the praises of the nursery anymore! They go above and beyond on a daily basis to cater to the needs of all children in a friendly and colourful environment. There are lots of carefully planned activities and free play of which the staff do their best to capture in observations for us parents. I have never doubted my decision for both of my children to attend.
Easy to organise first visit and taster sessions for my son. Everyone seems pleasant and very friendly. Not overly expensive. Central to our location. We get a mini update everyday at collection which is great.
My child (age 3 when he started 8 months ago) was initially very anxious about going to nursery, having never been left anywhere before. I can’t believe the transformation now. The nursery really focuses on independence and following the interests of the child and this shines through.
The nursery have dealt really well with the challenges of COVID and I felt confident to send him back when they re-opened. If you are looking for a nursery that will truly care for your child as an individual then Busy Bees Central is a good choice for you.
Fantastic team at Rockingham Road. Everyone has made my experience very lovely.
My son enjoys every moment when he is there and has been welcomed by everybody. He has settled in nicely and loves lots of fun time in the garden with the sand pit and water.
We love having daily written communication as well as face to face care.
I would highly recommend this nursery.
My son is now 26 months and he cannot wait to get up in the mornings to go and see, not only the children but the staff as well.
He is so confident and clever and really independent now. I get told all the time that his speech is amazing and he’s a very clever little boy. I always say that the nursery plays a massive part in that.
As for the general running of the nursery, the staff are very good at communicating with you about your child and anything that may be going on within the nursery. The staff really take the time to know you and your child and the bond each and every staff member has with my son is very special. Honestly, I’ll be sad when it’s time for him to leave.
I would highly recommend Kettering Central to anyone and not to mention their most recent Ofsted was outstanding!
Our daughter has been at the nursery since 2017 and we have seen many changes since then. When times were tough on the staff, they always tried their hardest to ensure the kids were not affected or asked us what they could do to ensure we were satisfied with the nursery. All of the feedback we gave was listened to by the manager and she has done a great job turning everything around and making it better than it was before. Communication is great, the rooms are clean and tidy. Staff are passionate and most importantly our daughter and now baby son love their days there.
The communication is good, via email which suits me, there are regular events that I can go to. We have recently found out my daughter has a nut allergy, the nursery have been great with this and put my mind at ease with having all the correct measures in place and knowing the nursery is nut free. There are set menus which change with the seasons and as a vegetarian, my daughter eats a wide variety of foods. The nursery has recently been refurbished and the spaces have been improved and the garden is a wonderful place for the children to play and learn in. My daughter is a confident happy bright little girl and attending this nursery has definitely helped with this.
Our daughter has been here since eight months old. I was apprehensive about returning to work and leaving my little girl in a nursery environment but the staff at nursery made the transition an easy one for our whole family.
Three years on and our daughter has come on leaps with the help of the nursery school, from toilet training, speech, social interaction and early education - all these have been influenced and supported by the wonderful staff.
We will all be so sad when September comes and big school beckons!
Our next child will definitely come here without a doubt.
Everyone at the nursery goes out of their way to make my children happy. I couldn’t be more impressed with the new management who have been excellent throughout and all the staff who have supported my family.
I was very nervous about the nursery becoming “Busy Bees”; it came at a time where I was unsure about leaving my children. However, the new manager instantly rejuvenated the team - not by replacing anyone, but by giving them the confidence in their own abilities again. This, in turn, had a positive impact on the children. We arrive in the morning and hear laughter, and the same at the other end of the day. They integrate what my daughter has done at home into what they do at nursery. They play outside every day. Communication is exemplary, and both my children have, and continue to excel under their care. Would recommend 100 times over! Thank you everyone.
Kind and friendly staff, our baby girl is always happy to arrive in the morning and loves the staff. Couldn’t be happier with the level of service we receive. Thank you!
I was so nervous about sending my little boy to nursery as I had not left him with anyone since he was born. We went to the open day and the staff were immediately so friendly and understanding that I signed him up straight away. My little boy loved the nursery from the minute he walked in the door. When it came to him starting his two mornings a week I was a nervous wreck but again the staff were so kind and understanding and gave me a cuddle when i needed it most. He now loves going and talks about the staff all the time. The rooms and activities are excellent and everything that children could possibly want. He comes home with new words and new dance moves! The amount he has learned and developed in such a short space of time is all thanks to the nursery and I have absolute confidence that when he starts school he would have had the best possible start thanks to all of the staff at Queen Of Hearts. I would fully recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you for the review, this is just lovely to hear!
My daughter has been attending Queen of Heart for just over a month and she lives it! She's always telling me about what they have done,what food they eat and who she plays with.. She is more vocal and confident in herself.. She enjoys it so much and I'm glad I have her going there.
Thank you for your review, this is so lovely to hear!
Fantastic nursery that has been amazing throughout a combination of 6 years that both my children have been. No other around compares! It is truly the best! I love the school feel and the preparation for school is outstanding.
Many thanks for your review. We are so pleased to hear how well the team have prepared your children for school!
My daughter has attended the nursery for a number of years starting in the newly opened baby rooms. She has developed confidence, relationships and learning with her early years curriculum. We have regular meetings and reviews of her progress and have good communication with all staff and key workers. She enjoys her time there, Thank you Queen of Hearts.
My 9 month old son has recently joined. I was so anxious to be away from him, but he has settled in perfectly. It is down to the lovely staff who clearly love the children. The Queens of Hearts Nursery is beautiful and I'm so happy I chose to send my son here. Seeing my little boy happy and content makes me a happy mummy :)
They have been going to the nursery for 3 months now and have seen them come on in leaps and bounds during their time there.
Our children are well cared for and supported by all the nursery staff, they enjoy their time there and their development is monitored and assessed, and they are working to their own level. Both children are happy at the nursery and enjoy the activities and their time there.
