Overall Experience

My child loves going to nursery, she comes home content, full and tired. The staff are excellent. Rooms are always changing with season and topics. Couldn’t ask for more from a nursery.

Review from Christine (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children go to Busy Bees Castle View and absolutely love it. My oldest (3.5yrs) asks to come in on the days that she doesn't attend. This is a good sign to me. She talks about the teachers (staff members) in the room as well as the students (children). My youngest (2yrs) is happy to come to nursery and enjoys all the sensory play on offer inside and outside. Now that they have the secret garden my children love it more.

The staff always welcome us into the room and make sure to say goodbye on the way out. The staff have become more like family friends. Staff are good at communicating with me with updates on what my children have been up to, what they are interested in and any issues that they have.

Review from Hayley A (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Highly recommend this to any parents looking to enrol. Knowledgable staff that put your mind at ease in every room and build a fantastic rapport and relationship not only with your child but with yourself. You receive a detailed handover every evening with what your child has done/eaten/slept etc and always make time for you. You also have development plans and parents nights and updates from your key worker throughout the year. Plus lots of events for all the family throughout the year. The rooms receive new equipment and ideas to keep the kids stimulated and the menu is amazing for the kids! The office staff and manager are always helpful and approachable too. Nothing is ever an inconvenience 10/10

Overall Experience

Fun and stimulating nursery environment for my son, who clearly loves spending time there given all the activities he has access to and things he can explore with his friends. Staff always polite, friendly and approachable and seem to develop a good bond with the kids. I go to work in the knowledge my son is safe and happy, which is very reassuring.

Overall Experience

This is a friendly establishment which boasts a clean and new building. It has warm and friendly staff on the whole... who care for the children with a high degree of professionalism. It treats parents fairly and on the whole, tries to meet the needs of parents and child. It is very child orientated with trained staff constantly thinking of ways to adapt rooms to make a better experience for the learners.

Review from Lee J (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves the nursery, all the staff are friendly and caring. Always have my son's best interests at heart. He has developed lots since he started at nursery when he was 9 months old, he is now ready for school. He is always encouraged by his key worker and nursery room staff to take part in learning on his own or as part of a group. The rooms are clean, tidy and safe. The rooms all have different areas for the children to interact and learn. We always receive a daily update on what my child has been doing and eating each day. Variety of food each week.
Going to miss the nursery lots as my oldest son went there too and we have been made to feel welcome/part of the family since he was there. The nursery staff always go over and beyond to support and it really does help and is appreciated.

It is a great nursery and staff are amazing.

Review from Paula W (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is a great building with a great many resources to occupy and entertain the children. Separated gardens for age groups is a great facility. Staff are very friendly and helpful and very supportive of your child, every staff member knows the child by name and the parents. They offer a variety of extra activities like French and football which is great for parents who can’t attend classes due to work commitments.

They take care to know your child and provide a varied diet and snacks compatible with any intolerance or allergies. I love my child attending this nursery and feel very reassured by the care he receives.

Review from Donna W (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Busy Bees Castle View since he was 14 months and he has been very happy here. The nursery staff have been so flexible to accommodate any emergencies/ unplanned appointments etc and they have even switched days for us last minute when work commitments changed. Our son has made a group of first friends here and has developed so quickly. The nursery also supported us so well through all the transitions from babyhood (such a toilet training) right through to pre-school (learning to write his own name). The staff really have become a second family for him. We will also be sending our daughter here next year when I finish maternity leave.

Overall Experience

Castle View staff are fantastic, they are always keeping us up to date on what our child is doing. She has just moved rooms and integrated well due to the staff. Clean rooms, and lots of activities is why we decided on this nursery.

The only problem I have had is that the admin can't get bills correct but they addressed the problem and all seems ok now.

My little boy has attended the nursery since he was 7 months old. The staff are very welcoming and the nursery is spotless. His needs are always met and he loves his time there. Previously, I worked as a nursery nurse (level 3) and I have nothing but praise for Busy Bees.

Overall Experience
Our 3 children are pupils of the nursery. They are aged 5,4 and 2 and the support and professionalism we had from all the staff are second to none. It is a nice feeling to know that staff understand your difficulties as a parent, they constantly work their best to make sure our kids have a good time and at this time, I can honestly say that our kids love them all.

Staff have a smile for everybody, even when they are exhausted. That makes a difference, s big difference.
