Busy Bees Reading International

Zina has always been very professional and efficient with communication. The teachers have always been very transparent and supportive with their approach to nurturing this nursery and it really shows ! Thanks for giving my son some of the best early years to life and thanks zina for all your efforts.

I couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at Reading International. The love, patience, and genuine care the team shows her every single day is truly special. They have supported and nurtured her development in ways that have exceeded our expectations, and the progress she has made makes us so proud. Reading International really feels like a home away from home for her, and that means everything to us as full-time working parents. Knowing she is safe, happy, and so well cared for gives us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for everything the staff do to support and foster her growth, and we wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for exceptional care.

We're so happy we chose Busy Bees!

We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a caring and dedicated nursery.

We are very happy with this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and caring. Both of my children love attending, and each room is wonderful-from the baby room to the toddler room and preschool.

The team always goes the extra mile to keep the children happy while also supporting parents. The food is good, and they do a great job promoting independence and autonomy in the children.

It is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, and I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for excellent care for their children.

We are truly grateful to the staff and carers at Busy Bees - Reading International. Thank you for everything you do.

The building and resources are great with a variety of age appropriate toys. They practice skills they need for school and life.

Great nursery, all staff are kind and welcoming! Our daughter has came so far since starting busy bees and we couldn't have had a better experience with them! Will definitely be sad to be leaving and we appreciate all they have done for our daughter

Now they are in the preschool room and thriving! The caregivers always make sure our boys have a great time and ensure they handover well at the end of the day. Having twins is hard especially when sending them to a education centre, but this preschool always make sure they have the correct child when handing over and the centre director has always been very responsive and always ensures she communicates effectively. Our boys have got a good relationship with all of the caregivers including our centre director and we love this preschool

The staff really care, and the children adore the team members. The facilities are very good - large, clean rooms with plenty of activities and outside space. The food menus are creative and varied, and everything is prepped on site. The development our kids have socially, and in other skills like colouring, speech, counting is really encouraging. The app is very handy to receive daily reports on special moments, what they ate, photos, etc - it helps keep the parent connected. They even have parent days so one can discuss your child's development or any issues. We're very, very grateful to all the team.

We also deeply appreciate the transparency and communication. The nursery app is fantastic for updates throughout the day, and the detailed daily handovers from the staff are so thoughtful. It's wonderful to hear those small, specific details about our child's day, which shows just how much the staff truly care. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a nurturing, professional, and stimulating space!

Our daughter's been at Busy Bees, 5 days a week for two and a half years. Deciding where she'd go to spend such a huge amount of time in her early years was very difficult, but we've felt comfortable in our decision to send her to Busy Bees - helped by seeing her thrive and develop skills at sometimes startling speed. She usually seems happy and certainly has lots of friends. The staff are kind, friendly, and engaged, and the environment feels safe and bright. The centre director is well-organised, informed, and responsive to queries. The food is good - she often eats better than I do! - and the rooms are clean, feel clean and comfortable. There's also a good amount of variety in the activities they get up to, and she hears, learns about and participates in a wide range of multicultural events and celebrations. We love the rich multicultural environment and I feel it is fantastic for her to be given early exposure to the differences in people that make up our diverse community.

Lastly, the nursery has been very respectful and accommodating on any request I might have on how I’d like something to be done e.g. weaning or following a certain routine when he was younger that was a bit different from the older babies. It’s hard as a mother to leave your baby in someone else’s hands for the whole day, but I quickly got to trust the caretakers and cannot wait to see how my son continues to thrive and reach his milestones as he approaches his first birthday.

Busy Bees has been excellent for my son (2 years old), although he only goes in twice a week they have still catered to all his needs. I particularly love the app where they constantly update his activities, food, nappies, sleep and naps. His key teacher is super nice and friendly to him, she is always looking after him well. My son has always enjoyed going to nursery! The director of the centre is superb and always responds to our queries promptly! The nursery is also very well-maintained and clean!

We have had a very disappointing experience with our 9 month old at Busy Bees Reading. Unfortunately it appears that they are not very inclusive and open to the mindset that every child is different and develops at their own pace. Instead they have seem to think our baby shows abnormal behavioural characteristics after only 2 settling in sessions and hence do not want him to start before they discuss it with their inclusion team even though there are actually no clinical concerns as diagnosed by a paediatrician. We have had very limited communication with them since then. They do not seem to want to help or support a baby's development in any way. Shocking given the reputation the company holds. We have decided to pull him out and the staff member over the phone just said 'OK that's fine' and 'I'll issue you a refund' and did not seem to care or at least ask why were are doing this..

It’s a home away from home.

My son has been attending this nursery since the age of 1, since attending 3 days a week he’s come a long way with walking and more importantly communication, he’s always very happy to go to nursery and I always get told he’s had a very good day, I get daily updates with how he’s eaten and also pictures of what he’s doing reassuring me as a first-time dad that he’s having a great time. The staff and management are lovely and very welcoming, they always give such positive feedback and always communicate with any events going on or any additional information they may have. Overall this is a great nursery and I couldn't be happier with the positive experience that we as a family are having.

Busy Bees is a warm and friendly environment, providing a home-from-home for my son. He has bonded so well with his key workers and management, who are always present and involved. There are regular spontaneous activities that take place which see both parents and staff getting involved and having fun with the children, it’s during these times I've seen how passionate and responsive staff are to the children in their care. We are very happy to be starting our daughter next summer.

We are grateful for the work they do and would recommend this location to any new parent looking!

Busy Bees Reading International have been excellent for my daughter. The staff have been brilliant at settling her in and helping with all aspects of her development. Everyone plays a part in this, from the centre director, assistant centre director and key workers, they are very personable and my daughter is always excited to see them all in the morning. As a parent the team are great at putting all your worries about leaving your child for the first time at ease. I would thoroughly recommend.
