I decided to enrol my baby in this nursery as it is nearby to our flat and this was actually the best choice I could have made! Being a full-time working mum it's vital for me to have peace of mind that my baby is more than being looked after. It is really important to me that baby is being loved and feeling safe and this is precisely what I found in Busy Bees' staff. They are very caring and make sure babies feel safe and loved. So I can rest assured that my baby is in good hands! I don't feel guilty any more for leaving her in the nursery because I know that after home, this is the best place she could be!
My son enjoys attending and has formed bonds with all staff. There are a variety of activities on offer for the children and I have watched him develop and grow in confidence.
I feel as a mother and as a person that works with kids, it is so important to see and know that they are safe and happy. When staff take that little time to chat, they let you know what happened throughout the day, what your child eats and that makes a big difference and how the day is planned out and staff know how to settle a child faster. If ever I say my child is unwell, they always keep an eye out and contact me and whenever I need help, to do.
I do not have a bad word to say about this nursery. Since our daughter started, she has progressed leaps and bounds. Seeing her interact at nursery is heartwarming. The girls are all amazing with the children and care a lot about their well being.
Every time we pick her up, we are given a rundown of the day's activities along with what she has eaten, time slept, nappies changed.
Things are dealt with very professionally at the nursery, we are always updated if there are things that happen or things coming up we should know about.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent.
My daughter has been at Busy Bees since the summer and I couldn’t be happier with her care. The staff are caring and attentive and know each child’s likes and dislikes. I always receive a full verbal report on her day. The nursery offers additional music and activity classes which my daughter enjoys. Having access to the David Lloyd soft play is also a benefit when it’s too cold or wet for the children to be outside. Excellent, well-run nursery with great facilities, staff and the bonus of home cooked, healthy and, according to my daughter, delicious meals daily. Highly recommend.
This Nursery is a great place to be. My child loves to come to Nursery. It's hard for me to get them to leave. Staff are all friendly and welcoming and it's just a great environment to be in. The Nursery is only closed 6 days a year and is open from 7.30am to 6pm which suits me perfectly.
