Busy Bees Castle View

We love Busy Bees, Castle View so much! All of the staff genuinely care about our son and he looks forward to his days there. He learns so much and has the opportunity to take part in a good variety of activities indoors and outdoors. The updates on the app put in by staff are regular and informative which helps with peace of mind. We enjoy the extra activities planned around the seasons for the whole family to engage in. We are really glad we chose Busy Bees and a big thank you to everyone there.

Staff are so friendly and helpful, always welcoming in the morning and happy to update at pick ups. Keep you informed of upcoming events and ways to get involved. Great that there is so many opportunities for learning and the outdoor space is brilliant.

My daughter loves Busy Bees, Castle View and all the staff. She settled in so quickly and has a nice relationship with every one of the staff, she talks about them all individually, it's so lovely! Great friendly, helpful staff.

This nursery is a place where you can feel 100% comfortable as you know your child is in the best care. They do so much with children to develop ready for primary school, giving them as always the best start in life and that is what Busy Bees are all about. Keeping children at the heart of what they do. The. relationships the children build are great and even our daughter comes home talking about the teachers, which is great as it shows they enjoy nursery and creating memories and it will be sad to leave this year. Starting school in August I know she will be fine as Busy Bees has set her up for a good start.

We would definitely recommend this nursery.

My two boys love going to Busy Bees, Castleview. It makes me so happy seeing how much fun they’ve had when I pick up and how much they’ve learned! There’s a good balance between indoor and outdoor activity and there are some really creative learnings. The ladies there are really friendly, communicative and supportive and I like the daily updates on the app. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking around.

Staff are able to know and tell me characteristics about my son's preferences and are helping him to develop.

Staff are very good at communicating with us about our child's progress. Great stimulation provided to the children with support to help them progress with their development. Venue is very clean and well laid out. Excellent garden areas.

My son has been going to Busy Bees for 18 months, and they are a brilliant childcare provider. In particular, I have noticed lots of new things he's learned from nursery - language, songs, dances, and social skills, they offer a great range of activities, and it's very obvious that he enjoys his time there and feels secure and safe. The staff are friendly and informative and always have time to discuss any queries/needs you have as a (sometimes anxious!) parent. The nursery management is very slick, and the inclusion of family days and social events has been brilliant since the lockdown restrictions have eased - it's been brilliant to meet others and see my son so happy in his room. In terms of the 'technical' stuff, Busy Bees are brilliant for risk assessment, administering medication and communication, and the food/nutrition is second to none. Since my son's been able to talk, he's expressed happiness at going to Busy Bees and now says he "loves" it! Would highly recommend it to others.

My son has been at Busy Bees Castle View since I returned to work after maternity leave. The nursery is so inviting and the outside space the kids have is amazing. All the staff are so lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. Communication is fab and I feel at ease knowing my boy is well cared for whilst I work. He will be starting his funding hours soon at Castle View, couldn't imagine sending him anywhere else.

My son has been going to Busy Bees now for almost two years, and he loves it! He loves going there and talks about it when at home. The staff are amazing and very helpful. They are good and keeping you updated with the goings on and always give me an update when I pick my son up. He is always talking about what activities he got up to and what he played with. I’ve had such a great experience so far.

An exceptional nursery, the team there are supportive and very accommodating, they offer focused activities and give regular updates on the app, and this has enabled our daughter to settle in easily.

My son loves going to nursery. He feels comfortable spending time with staff and peers. We love seeing photos of him having a good time and learning different things at the nursery. The staff know his routines and supports them.

My son has been at Busy Bees since he was a wee baby. He has progressed through each room and stage as such a happy and confident child, completely supported by the wonderful staff. This preschool year had been his most challenging with new emotions and learning and the 1 on 1 support has been brilliant. He is treated as an individual and is allowed to flourish as a result. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Castle View and all the staff.

Busy Bees has been incredible for our son. My 3-year-old boy has attended the nursery since he was 1 and has continuously been supported with his development milestones in the best way by the most wonderful team. He thoroughly enjoys attending nursery and speaks highly of the staff regularly. He's made such a strong bond with them which gives us peace of mind whilst we work and faith that he is being encouraged to try different activities that support his learning. He's encouraged to try different foods and learn about various cultures which we love as it can be a challenge trying to get him to eat a wide range of foods at home and we want him to be respectful of others' beliefs growing up. Our families' beliefs are also 100% respected at Busy Bees. Our son is being supported with a star chart that we also use at home to help him focus on achieving certain goals each day. The result of this has been phenomenal. The daily updates are great through the app too. 10/10 all around.

I am delighted with the care my little girl, who attends Busy Bees, Castle View receives. Due to lockdowns, she did have some separation issues when she first started, but she is now enjoying going to nursery and I get the impression that the staff members are amazing with her and really genuinely care. She loves telling us about her little friends and she has grown hugely in confidence which is amazing to see. The meals provided by the nursery are amazing, even if my little one is still rather fussy! I know the staff really try to encourage her to try things and make sure she doesn’t go hungry if she doesn’t want what’s on the menu that day. I love that the app gets updated throughout the day, so I can see what she is up to and staff are great at updating my partner when he collects her, who can then update me! So happy I enrolled my daughter at Castle View.

Our two and a half-year-old daughter used to attend a different nursery, but after we moved house we decided to enrol her in Castle View, as it is closest to where we live now. We were a bit apprehensive that she might find it difficult to adjust and get used to the new setting and people, but it turned out we had nothing to worry about. When we pick her up she always has a smile on her face and is excited to tell us what she's been up to, whereas at the old nursery she would often run towards us crying, just wanting to go back home, plus she goes in, in the morning without a fuss, which never happened at the old nursery. All the staff we have come across are lovely, always friendly at drop off and happy to have a chat at pick up and tell us about what our daughter has been up to. That's in addition to the updates we get through the app, like what she ate, when she had her nappy changed and occasional photos. Our daughter is happy and so are we.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Castle View Nursery for the last 2.5 years. The staff are friendly, energetic and work continuously to ensure the children are gaining the right experiences and skills for life. A recent virtual parents evening with my son's key worker was thorough and informative and the app keeps me up to date on a day to day basis with how my son is developing and areas to continue to develop or supplement at home. Most of all, I will never forget the support this nursery gave me during the pandemic, maintaining my son's routines and enabling me to keep working on the frontline.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 11 months old and is now a few months away from starting school. She has loved her time here and has learned lots of new skills and made so many friends. It has helped her become very confident and sociable, which I am sure will make her transition to school so much easier. The ladies at the nursery are all amazing with the children and really build a bond with them, meaning she always looks forward to going in, each morning. There is always a range of fun activities for the children to do each day and it is great being kept up to date via the app with comments and pictures of how they are getting on and what they are working on.

My 3.5 year old has attended this nursery since they were 14 months old and it has become a regular delight of his week. The staff are all very friendly and appear to really get to know your child, as well as maintaining positive communication with me as a parent. My child loves his time at Castle View, where he has been supported to become more confident and social with his peers.
