Busy Bees Oxford Littlemore

and updates on his development and activities.
When you walk in, you’ll see that staff quickly tend to any crying child and are always compassionate and patient. Children have plenty of toys and entertainment to keep themselves busy.
Our baby does things in nursery that surprise us (like sitting on the chairs to eat or going to sleep with little help). When it comes to hygiene I’ve been really impressed. I have experience in auditing hygiene standards and can’t possibly fault anything in the nursery. Nappies are changed regularly and our baby has never had a rash. Meals are nutritious and there’s a good variety. This was one of our major deciding points before enrolling our baby.

appropriate and stimulating. I do wonder why the nursery does not offer activities outside the facilities (public parks, museums). Not sure if it is a specific policy of the nursery or of Oxfordshire. In our country, kids explore the outdoors every week. They acquire important skills exploring the world outside the protected bubble of school and home.

I believe that the nursery could improve their meal plans. It is very good, compared to other institutions, but Busy Bees is "outstanding", so I would expect excellence in each of their sectors. A healthier diet with more whole foods and less processed foods, such as cereals, (vegan) cheese, sausages, pasta, etc. would be extremely beneficial for the children.

she’s been up to. The food is really good quality and often. I plan to up her to more days in a few months as she is constantly asking me to go back to nursery.

form which I was able to take away.

The food provided for the children is always healthy and a wide variety is always on offer.

I feel the staff always keep the children busy, doing things I wouldn’t necessarily do at home with my son.

Staff are always friendly and helpful.

to the wonderful staff who have made her very welcome. The fact that she runs in and doesn't look back is the biggest testament to this nursery!

enough.

as a parent always made to feel welcome when coming through the front door. The facilities are brilliant and the outside spaces are perfect and used well. The communication between staff and parents is excellent which is shown in detailed handover and also how the children settle so quickly.

I feel relaxed knowing my daughter is being well cared for.

safe.
The food is varied and fresh, my son definitely enjoys polishing off seconds and sometimes thirds!

worker.

the management, who are very responsive to the parents' requests and to the needs of the children (especially special needs children). They do their best to accommodate even dietary requirements, which is not easy considering that there are so many kids. My son loves going there and I know he is getting the best care while he is there. I am very happy that nursery accepted my son for 2 days a week so far and from September he is going to be there every day because he enjoys it and I have a peace of mind that he is being very well looked after. I would like to thank all the members of staff and especially our key person and the manager for all your hard work!

are always very friendly and helpful and if they do not know a response they will seek out someone who does. They handled (and quickly squashed) a bullying incident that could have become out of hand and resulted in a big fallout amongst the peers.

Both children are extremely happy and smiley when we drop them off and sometimes getting them to leave to come home is a problem!
