Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere

My son has been here for almost a year now. The staff are all amazing. So caring and encouraging. I'm able to drop my son in his designated from and the same for collection. I get to see how he settles and I can sneak in for collection and see him in the mist of playing. My son loves being outside, they cater for this with outside play during most weather conditions. Splashing in puddles is even on the agenda. He's adapted to room changes well. Meals are provided however tea is more a snack for my son therefore I also give him tea with us. They provide everything down to nappies if you so wish. The opening and closing times fit well with my job allowing me to do both drops off and pick ups. If I have any issues or concerns I'm always listened to and taken seriously.

Great nursery! Fantastic staff, our girl goes here and they are excellent! She has come on so much since being at busy bees, the staff are excellent with her and she loves being there! The food is varied and our girl is always happy!

My daughter attends Busy Bees Rushmere, and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are absolutely lovely - they're warm, caring, and genuinely take the time to get to know each child. Communication is excellent; they always keep me updated on my daughter's progress and daily activities. Everyone is so helpful and supportive, which really puts my mind at ease knowing she's in such good hands. I can't recommend Busy Bees Rushmere enough!

I would be cautious to consider them if your child also has allergies.

The staff are fab. My son loves attending and has made lots of progress since being there. I really like that I can collect him from the room and find out everything he has been doing.

I am extremely happy with the nursery.they try new things on my son to keep him engaged and happy.my son learned a lot of things from the nursery and they always update is about his full day activities and take suggestions from us .

The best thing about the nursery is I am able to drop and pick up my boy from his designated room, it gives a glimpse of what they are going to do and what they have done. It also shows how the staffs keep everything neat and tidy; and provide a safe and warm place for their growth and development at all times.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Rushmere for nearly 4 years, and she has had an excellent experience, as have we as her parents. All the staff really care about my daughter and you can tell they take an interest in her wellbeing and her development. Her language and writing are excellent and I put that down to the attention she has had while at nursery. The staff are friendly and diligent. The nursery itself is generally well kept and in good order and clean. The food is varied and I like that they encourage the children to try new foods. I am so glad we picked this nursery for my daughter and I'll be sad when she leaves for school in September.

My Daughter loves going to nursery! The staff are very caring and supportive! It's just so nice to see how comfortable she is being there! It's great that all of her meals are all included in the price and she always eats all of it!

My little one has come on leaps and bounds since starting with Busy Bees and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for somewhere to send their little one.

My child has attended here for 6 months and absolutely loves it! The staff are great at updating us during the day and help my child with their milestones. My child also has allergies and I have no concerns with the staff not being able to adhere to them.

Very happy!

My son is very happy at busy bees. As a parent I feel listened too and included in the care of my child on the days he is there. The staff are attentive and have formed a lovely relationship with my son too. I think that the rooms themselves are set out very well and fit for purpose. I would sometimes like to know more about the structure of the day / what the class is learning or working on specifically. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, always makes my daughter feel welcome and makes the hand over process very easy for her. All the staff do an excellent job of building a relationship with her. My daughter has been taught many things at the setting about numbers, letters and general facts, she always comes home with a fact or skill she has learnt that day to share with me. Everyone there is very kind and patient with us

My son has been attending Busy Bees since Sept 2024 and we have had a great experience with the nursery. My son has always struggled with drop offs this can sometimes be quite challenging, but the staff have been so helpful at settling him and giving him comfort and attention for him to feel safe and supported. He hardly ever wants to come home by the time I collect him, and I believe that's due to the amount of fun he is having with his friends, and the professionalism and kindness of the staff in his room. The room leader and my little boy's key person is very good at communicating updates with me, and takes any concerns I have seriously. The other staff in the room have good bonds with my son and he knows all of their names, often speaking about them at home. They have supported with his potty training progress and he has been given the best encouragement to make new friends. I am very impressed with the nursery so far, and thank them for the care they are giving to my little boy.

She gets lots of stimulations, attention and great care whilst at Busy Bees. This has really helped her confidence and social skills. My daughter knows the names of all of the staff and talks about them at home; which shows how settled she is.

My only slightly negative point is that I would like to see the chalk board back showing the daily menu. I know the food is good and have no concerns, but it would just be nice to know what they've had.

Lovely nursery staff are all so friendly and so supportive of the children and have their best interests at heart. My children's development has skyrocketed since they have joined. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

My children have recently started at Busy Bees, the girls have all gone out of there to make sure they have settled well and our routines are followed. My children go in happy and I love seeing updates of how they are getting on.

My son started here on the 7th of January 2025, he has settled in so well and is loving coming to the nursery every Tuesday! He has built so much confidence by coming here and he loves all the staff!
