Review from Emily S (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot praise the nursery enough from the moment I walked through the door with my baby and mum to be shown around back in October 2024.
We felt welcomed and reassured that my baby was going to be in safe hands. I loved the fact all the staff were on the floor playing with the children, you could see it was a very nurturing, stimulating and attentive nursery.
My baby has certainly gained many new skills and I am beyond grateful for the people at the nursery. She may be a little upset to leave mummy and daddy in the morning but she soon cheers up when she goes to one of the people in the room and has her breakfast. If I am worried they always reassure me she is happy.
I love seeing the pictures of her playing and exploring toys and the outdoors. The framework indicators is also a great tool to show me how she is thriving and how well she is doing.

Thank you again for creating a wonderful, nurturing environment.

Overall Experience

I couldnt rate this nursery higher! My daughter has been going since she was about 6 months old and loves it. She has great attachments with the adults and looks forward to seeing them. Feedback is thorough and they respect decisions from home and replicate in nursery! She continues to develop at nursery and I enjoy seeing the snapshots we get sent of their day!

Overall Experience

I'm so glad we chose Busy Bees Trinity Road for our son. Right from day one, all the staff have been warm and welcoming and my son loves going in every day. He always has loads to say when we pick him up and talks about all his friends and the staff regularly at home. It's great getting the updates in the app too, especially what he's been eating through the day.

Review from S J (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl is so happy at nursery. She has really connected with her key worker and all the staff there are so friendly and amazing with the children. They care so much for them.
The activities they do really encourage the children to explore and learn and love that not just through play and creativity she is exploring but through her food as well, even with her food allergies.
I can track what she has eaten, nappies and sleep through the app which really helps to know how she has done throughout the day.
I can see new foods she has eaten and liked that I can then introduce to her at home that I may not think of.

Overall an amazing nursery!

Review from Danielle B (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started nursery in July, he only goes one day a week at the moment but all the staff have been amazing with him and I can tell he enjoys it every time. They were so supportive when he first started and continued that throughout. The app is amazing as I can see what he has eaten throughout the day and his nap times. Sometimes he has unsettling days but the staff always contact me to reassure me his ok and what his been doing. They also send me photos sometimes which I love. He just recently moved into the 2-3 room and his new key worker is amazing, in fact, all the staff are. I strongly recommend you send your child to this nursery because it's been the best thing ever for my little boy, his learning so much and as a single mum it's so good for him to interact with new people and he is doing so well.

Overall Experience
My youngest child is currently in the preschool. She loves the staff and all the activities. She never complains about going.

My eldest (now 8) went to the nursery from 7 months old and loved her time at the nursery and they still welcome her at pick-ups.

Overall Experience

I can't fault this nursery. My little girl absolutely loves going to nursery and always tells me how much fun she has had. Her key worker in particular, always gets spoken about at home. I really enjoy that they try lots of different healthy meals and have lots of time outside come rain or sunshine. I would 100% recommend this particular Busy Bees to anyone looking for an amazing nursery for their children! In fact all the staff are incredible and were hugely reassuring when my daughter found it hard to begin with when it came to separation. They always called to reassure me she was just fine and was settled.

My boy absolutely loves going to nursery, always comes out with a smile. The app for updates throughout the day is great idea, and I can track what new foods he is trying.

All the staff are lovely and welcoming from the very first day.

Great nursery. Our daughter loves the carers and really enjoys going to daycare.
They've been organising thoughtful Christmas activities that she's really enjoyed.

Also great that she gets the opportunity to spend lots of time outside

Review from Katie B (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children started at Busy Bees, Trinity Road, in September. They are 1 year old and 2 years old. The nursery and staff are warm and welcoming and it didn't take long for the children to settle in with their key worker. The rooms are clean, friendly and engaging and the activities the children do during the day are fun and educational. Both of my children have made good progress overall, particularly in speech and language. I was apprehensive about them starting nursery, but I really didn't need to be, the children love it!

She loves it there, runs off and doesn't look back. Fed well and feels at home. Loves cuddles with three members of staff, well everyone really! Moving this year and in two minds whether to move her nursery, as she loves them so much! Thank you Busy Bees, Trinity Road.

My daughter has a fantastic time at Busy Bees. The staff are fantastic with all of the children and the new app keeps all the parents up to date with our child’s day to day needs and developmental steps.

It has been such a challenging year but this nursery has powered through and delivered the best care and service during such difficult times. Thank you all.

Absolutely fantastic Nursery. My 8-year-old went to this nursery for her first 4 years before school and now my 4-month-old is here and I wouldn’t change a thing! Everyone is brilliant with her. Big thank you to all that take care of her at the nursery.

Highly recommend!

Review from Jo K (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had children at Busy Bees Trinity Road since January 2015. It is an excellent nursery, the staff are kind, caring and professional. They have supported our children to develop confidence and sociability so that we have absolutely no concerns about their readiness for the school environment. The return after Covid-19 was managed really well, and although we were a bit nervous about returning at first, the team were well-trained in the precautions needed while still remaining really engaged with the children.

We are very sad to be saying goodbye to the wonderful team at Trinity Road. We could not possibly have chosen a better, more caring and professional nursery for our son and daughter, and will always be grateful for the start the team has given them. Thank you!

Overall Experience

I have been very impressed with the steps/measures put in place for the children to return to nursery safely. At first, I was unsure, but now I am glad I did. It is as normal as it can be for the children and great to try and get back to some normality during such a difficult time. The common location weekly via email and the Q&A on Facebook was very helpful and reassuring.

Review from Rhianna L (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child had been going to this nursery since she was around 1 year old, she is now in the pre-school and sadly leaving at the end of August. The entire time she has been at this nursery, I have been nothing but impressed and happy with the service they provide. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll do anything they can to make your life a little easier. My child loves going to nursery and has learnt so much from being there as well as making lots of friends. We even moved out of Ashford town but kept her at the nursery as she is so happy there and we have zero complaints. I have often recommended this nursery to friends and family as they are just wonderful, couldn’t be happier with our choice!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old and I returned to work, she enjoys her days there and has built relationships with all of the staff. I never need to worry about her once I've dropped her off and know that if I ever need anything I can just give the nursery a quick call and they will always be happy to help.

Overall Experience
Returning to Busy Bees when they were allowed to re-open with Covid-19 safety measures was not stressful at all! The teams were in touch with us, managing our expectations and preparing us for what to expect.
My son loved returning and has shown increased independence under the changed routine and circumstances.

We are pleased with the safety measures at Trinity Road. Our son has become a confident, carefree and inquisitive individual largely due to the influence of his very capable and caring team of teachers. We will always be grateful for the fantastic start he has been given in life!
