Barry (Bumble Bees) - Little Inspirations

My daughter has been attending Barry Bumble Bees since January 2022. As a parent, I was apprehensive about her starting something new but my goodness there really was no need to worry. I was so happy after I left the setting when registering. The manager was reassuring and answered all questions before me asking! 6 months later and my daughter’s come on leaps and bounds, always happy to walk into ‘school’ and talk about her day afterwards. The staff are great in all aspects eg communication, caring for my child and teaching her life skills. I really couldn’t recommend Barry Bumble Bees enough. I’m so happy that I plan to continue to have my daughter at the setting at the same time she starts bigger school either mornings or afternoons. My child is happy which makes me happy! Thank you everyone at Little Inspirations - Barry Bumble Bees!

My son has been attending Barry (Bumble Bees) Little Inspirations since September 2020 and will be leaving in September 2022 to go to full-time school. His time there has been wonderful; he is always happy to go there, is greeted by staff very warmly and enjoys all the activities they do there. He became a fussy eater during his time there, but they dealt with it very professionally and caring and they adapted his meal plan accordingly which was very reassuring. The facilities are really great, especially the garden and outdoor classroom, my son loves playing outdoors and adored the new space. The app is also amazing; staff can send updates and pictures of your child and it details exactly what they have eaten and how much. I believe it also tells you about nappy changes etc, but my son was out of nappies when he started. From my point of view, I have been very impressed with the support both myself and my son have received at Little Inspirations and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Our little boy loves the nursery. The team are just so kind and professional and are always happy to answer questions or concerns. Nothing is too much trouble. Regular updates are excellent. I would highly recommend this nursery.

A really nice little nursery. My daughter loves going and always has something nice to say when she comes home. The staff are friendly and keep us up to date on my daughter's day-to-day. There's a great and varied indoor play space and a large outdoor play space.

I cannot fault Little Inspirations Bumble Bees at all. The care they provide is exemplary. My child loves attending and I feel happy knowing he is well looked after. The activities are linked wonderfully to learning and development and I am kept updated on my child progress.

This is a lovely nursery, my little girl always has a smile on her face every morning when greeted at the gate. She smiles at all the staff members and is clearly very happy being led inside. I was very impressed with the effort put in by the staff to get to know my little girl when she first started and this has clearly paid off. The app is a great tool that allows me to monitor what she's eaten etc. and the nursery staff always make an effort to take photographs so I can see what she has been doing. My little girl always comes home with artwork/crafts which she is very proud of and happily displays at home. A lovely nursery that I would happily recommend.

My little girl has been coming to the nursery since April. The staff are all lovely, they made her feel so at home and settled her in really well. The app is brilliant for sending messages to the nursery and for checking in on my daughter. I would highly recommend.

I put my child in the nursery last year we were going through the pandemic so I could start a new job! Staff look after my son extremely well especially with my son being born 6 weeks early and few complications, also as a mother who was diagnosed with postnatal anxiety and PTSD after a traumatic birth the nursery staff have welcomed my son into nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds, my son is now just over 2 years old, his learning and speaking and have come on so good. I love the Family App on my phone so I know what he has eaten that day and what he getting up to, you might see some photos of your child playing which they put on the Family app, which is personal to you and private. I love this nursery so much I love taking my boy to nursery with a smile on his face knowing he is going to have a good time with all his friends and learning. Also when I pick him up he is so happy to see me and also sad that he is leaving his friends behind. Lovely nursery, the best one I've put him in.

My son has been attending Little Inspirations from 18 months old and then transferred to Bumble Bees after he turned 2 years old. He has loved every second at both nurseries and has been made to feel welcome from day one. The staff have been so helpful and reassuring with my questions and queries and have been so caring and kind towards him. Always welcoming him each day with a warm smile. They are professional and I have never had an issue with the nursery. He always left happy and excited to go back the following day. He's now moving to big school a confident and social child and I believe it's the nursery who helped make him that way! Thank you for all that you have done for him.

My little boy has been attending Bumble Bees since September 2020. Signing him up to a nursery during the pandemic was a worry for us, but after viewing the nursery we felt reassured that he would be safe. The nursery was exceptionally clean and staff are always friendly. We particularly enjoy using the Famly app to see what he’s eaten, pictures of his day, and to message staff members. Messages are always replied to promptly. Pick up and drop-offs always go smoothly and I feel safe with the nursery’s procedures for other people collecting my child when I am not able to. Meals and snacks are always well-balanced and nutritious. Overall a fantastic nursery which I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for flying start sessions and breakfast club since January. And despite the restrictions when starting she managed to settle here quickly without me present, thanks to the great staff here. The app is also great especially for communicating and getting updates on my daughter throughout her session and between sessions on any updates from the nursery. My older daughter attended here previously and she also had the best time always came home happy and the same has followed on with my youngest.

My son has been attending first Little Inspirations and now Bumblebees since he was 5 months old (he is now 4 years) I have been so impressed with the care he has been given over the years. All staff are amazing with the children and I have full faith and trust them implicitly. My son has always been happy attending and I feel that the nursery has provided him with the best possible start to his care and education.

I don’t think we have had any tears as of yet.

I cannot rate this child care service enough. My little one loves it there and the staff are amazing, so reassuring when we both get upset and I receive a picture of a very happy child within ten minutes of dropping him off. We tried a couple of different placements before settling here and could not be happier with the service we receive.

Moved to the area last year and viewed a fair few nurseries in Barry but Bumble Bees really stood out to us. It was the best and most safe one that we viewed. When you leave your child at nursery, you want them to be safe hands and I’ve never felt that my child hasn’t been safe. Staff are lovely and always helpful. The nursery is very, very clean. I would highly recommend this nursery to any family.

My children were supposed to start in April 2020 but with the current situation, it had to be postponed. When I received the call in August to say they’d be starting early September I was excited that the next stage in my children’s developments could finally begin! They had their one hour settling in session and I was put at ease with photos and a message saying they’d settled in really well and were happily playing. All the staff members are extremely friendly and hard working. Nothing is too much of an issue, they’re always happy to help. The main thing, my children love going to Bumble Bees and playing with their new friends.

We are very happy with the nursery and would highly recommend it without hesitation to other parents.

Was in a situation where was left without childcare. Was desperate to find a nursery for my son. In these particularly hard times, this is not an easy one. But contacted Bumble Bees Daycare Nursery (Barry) where they understood my desperate situation and got him registered very quickly. I'm very grateful to them. Plus they've got an amazing app where you can see what the child is doing/eating etc. throughout the day. Little one is enjoying it and every day is telling me stories about what he has done in the yellow nursery - that is what he calls it.

My little boy has been going here since he was tiny and we absolutely love the nursery. Love being updated on what he’s doing throughout the day and the communication is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My two older children went to Little Inspirations over 14 years ago and loved it. My youngest son went to Little Inspirations and transferred up to Bumble Bees last year and he absolutely loves it. Hopefully, in the next few months, my daughter will be joining and I'm sure she will love it too. The staff at these settings are above and beyond amazing in everything they do for the children and the parents. Thank you all so much.
