    The team genuinely care and he beams when he sees them in the morning. I adore receiving the pictures on the app during the day, so I can see what he has been up to. My son is in the baby room, I know he is settled and cheerful, I can see on the app how he is through the day.

    If there are any problems the team inform you promptly and give necessary advice. The only thing I would say is the kid seems to do the same things day in day out. Maybe a little more variety would be great. Team are exceptionally welcoming and updates has been outstanding for the most part.

    My daughter started with Busy Bees in October last year and she has come on leaps and bounds since starting! The team are so lovely and are consistently updating the app for me to see all the lovely photos they have taken. They consistently update me when I come to pick my daughter up and tell me what she’s been up to. I adore it when she comes home with the incredible things she has made, the latest was a glittery mask that she was so proud of! Thanks, team Spinney! Simply incredible!

    She has been highly cheerful there from day one, she loves the team and the activities, which are varied and she particularly loves the messy playtime. The childcare centre has been exceptional through the pandemic and still is doing excellent, and when I have had to change my working hours they were super flexible with trying to contain the costs for us, and I think that is not something which happens often with nurseries. Another excellent thing is that at least some of the team have been moving up to the next room with the kids, thus assuring continuity and stability for them. I couldn’t fault this childcare centre, and even if a change in working locations could have made us think to move our daughter elsewhere, I wouldn’t because I know that it is the perfect childcare centre for her. My little girl started attending Busy Bees two years ago and she has now started Pre-School there.

    My kid has come on leaps and bounds and consistently comes home saying what a great day one has had with all the enjoyable discovering activities. I have seen their self‑assurance grow. The team are consistently willing to sort out any issues that may arise and I am consistently kept up to date with any changes, through a monthly update. Would suggest this childcare centre.

    From an initial phone call, to looking around at childcare centre, to my son’s settling in days, to his first full day. The team have consistently been welcoming, welcoming and cheerful to answer any questions you may have. Would definitely suggest and sense the manager and one other member of team, in particular, are a credit to the company. My son started at Busy Bees around a month ago and I can honestly say, the whole journey has been outstanding.

    Not a single bad word to say. My daughter started Busy Bees in October 2021 and I have nothing but excellent things to say about it. She was 11 months old when she started and has progressed so much in the time she’s been there. The team truly do care about her development and have just been incredible since day one. All the team are so welcoming and cheerful to take the time to talk through her day with me. They are consistently introducing her to new activities, food and milestones. Her self‑assurance has grown so much and I have no doubt that she is in secure hands when she is at childcare centre. The team are also excellent at updating the app with all of her activities, and she is often coming home with pictures she has made for us which is so lovely, I have friends with kids at other nurseries who say they don’t get many updates or personalised bits. 10/10 would suggest to anyone. Incredible childcare centre!

    Outstanding discovering place for kids as the team are expert and well‑informed. Super facilities and all just have been refurbished, so it’s highly high standards and consistently spotless and tidy. My little one loves this place and is cheerful after her session there. She learns every day something new, and we can see how fast she is developing. Team and director are consistently polite and cheerful to share all information about the kid’s routine and development. Consistently highly suggest this place to all. Excellent team and assistance at all times.

    My daughter has been attending the childcare centre for about a year now and she is highly cheerful. She loves all the activities they do every day. Her self‑assurance has improved so much in the last few months. I highly suggest Busy Bees, Spinney Hill! Highly pleased with Busy Bees, Spinney Hill Childcare centre.

    My 2-year-old son attends every day, all day and seems to adore it. We never have any issues with him at drop off or pick up and he truly seems to like the welcoming team. They are consistently doing things, from celebrating the festival of light to Christmas cards and things and more recently, mothers day cards. They have a lovely garden out back, for the kids to playtime in. Even through the tough times of Covid, the team consistently have a smile on their face and take time to talk to you about your kid. I also adore that they have an app that bleeps on my phone, to say my son has eaten or slept or gone to the toilet. I sense my son is in a excellent place, where he will now stay until he starts school. My son started here in September 2021, while Covid restrictions were still in place.

    The team are so welcoming and welcoming, and they show genuine affection and warmth towards my son. I am confident that they not only care for my son to the highest standard but are also committed to his welfare and development. I am so impressed with their handling of COVID-19; they are taking every precaution, whilst still providing a welcoming and attentive setting. They have also been highly honourable in relation to the payment of fees over the period of lockdown. Thank you, Busy Bees Spinney Hill! I highly suggest Busy Bees at Northampton.

    We have had three kids attend the Spinney Hill childcare centre now and they have all loved it, including the themed fancy dress days, arts and crafts and playtime. Busy Bees is a excellent childcare centre with expert and welcoming team who look after the kids and assistance their development ahead of primary school.

    I know for sure that my daughter is in great hands. Thank you. I came in for the first settle-in session on the 30th March 2022 and everyone from the centre director to key persons and admin were incredible and it was such a calm setting.

    She was consistently coming home with artwork and they truly cared for her during the tough covid times! Now my daughter has moved to the toddler room, her speech has come on so much as well as her self‑assurance. The team are truly lovely and my daughter smiles when she sees them. It has a car park so truly easy for drop off and pick up. It has a big garden which has dedicated areas for each age group. Hopefully, with covid measures relaxing, parents will get to go inside a bit more. Also, adore the app and getting updates through the day. The ladies in the baby room are so lovely and truly helped my daughter settle in.

    I sense that the team make a real effort to build a great relationship with the kids they look after and genuinely care. There is a great partnership between team and parents. My daughter’s development and independence have truly improved during her time at childcare centre. The building has recently been refurbished and offers remarkable facilities. My daughter particularly loves the outdoor space. My daughter is highly cheerful at this childcare centre.

    My son, at age of 1 year and 2 months he started to playtime more and more and in that moment I say you need to playtime with other kids and, I and my husband, we chose Busy Bees, from that moment my son was so cheerful, they are so careful with kids, they pay attention, they do everything.

    The team have been incredible with him throughout and he loves going there. They have been especially great with helping him with his development, due to having hearing issues, but watching him and how much he has come along with his speech, has been so emotional! He started pre-school from the beginning of this year and has suddenly grown up so fast in his uniform, telling everyone he is going to school already! I adore receiving his photos via the app and all his artwork that he brings home! My son has been attending this childcare centre since 2019 so just before he turned 1 year old.

    The team are welcoming and supportive. My daughter enjoys the setting and is cheerful to attend. The new refurb and layout are remarkable. I think that the childcare centre is particularly thriving under its new management. We adore Busy Bees! Both my kids attended this childcare centre and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to anyone.

    The manager and the team have been excellent, supporting my son with his additional needs and helping us put referrals into place. They are consistently there to answer any questions we have and will consistently help us the best they can. I cannot fault this childcare centre! My son has been going to Busy Bees, Spinney Hill for 14 months and has so much going on every day, he gets highly excited when he pulls up outside childcare centre.

    He is eight months old and he attends full time. This was a truly difficult transition for us both but the team made sure he was settled and they kept me updated throughout. He smiles when I hand him over to his key person and I know he is sleeping and eating well. I highly suggest the childcare centre. My kid has just settled in the baby room.
