    The team are compassionate and attentive towards him. They listen to what I have to say and implement that in their discovering with him. They do a lot to assistance independence and encourage him to explore new things. They also have gotten to know him truly well and set out things for him to do that they know he will truly delight in. I am truly pleased with how he’s settled in and the development he has gone through in such little time being with Busy Bees Southwell. Thank you. My son started in November 2022 in preschool.

    Both our kids have attended Busy Bees at Southwell and with our oldest having just left for school, the fact he still talks about the team and how much he misses them is testament to the excellent job they do. The team at the childcare centre are what make it, they are consistently cheerful, smiley and show genuine affection towards the kids.

    if only we knew how great this childcare centre was before we would have moved my son 4 years ago.
    We have known the manager from a previous childcare centre. All the team are exceptional and my daughter has so much self‑assurance and never cries. The childcare centre has an app whereby you can see what they have had to eat, how much sleep they have had and when they have had their nappy changed. It also gives you information on their development. Incredible 5-star childcare centre and although it is more money than the previous childcare centre it is worth every single penny. Thank you to all at Busy Beest at Southwell. My son went to the childcare centre last year and my daughter is currently there….

    My daughter (20 months) loves to visit and is making great development – singing new songs at home and saying new words.
    We are kept up to date with her day through regular updates on the app which is reassuring as a parent. Management is truly supportive and accommodating with last-minute changes to days or unexpected extra days!
    Would highly suggest. Lovely childcare centre with welcoming team who care about the kids.

    However, the changes and additions made over the last few months have been invaluable and have excelled the childcare centre. Some of the changes and additions include allowing the kids to borrow books and educational activities from the childcare centre. They have more frequent and detailed uploads on the app, such as what activities the kids are doing that week and they put on more event days at the childcare centre throughout the year. A excellent variety of new activities at the childcare centre, including baking and gardening. They have provided a new weekly email update to parents and a new welcoming, informative and interactive reception area which is regularly updated. The whole childcare centre has recently been refurbished to a highly high standard with new toys, and sensory and discovering equipment. The childcare centre team have created an engaging, interactive and remarkable discovering setting which the kids adore. Our kid loves going to childcare centre, and loves all the team! Busy Bees Southwell has consistently been outstanding, with outstanding and hardworking team.

    The facilities are modern and the outdoor space is exceptional. There’s consistently lots of new daily activities and resources out for the kids to playtime and learn. The updates is consistently prompt and informative. The team consistently greet you with a smile and form excellent relationships with the kids. They consistently go above and beyond to help. Highly Suggest. Incredible childcare centre with compassionate, personable and welcoming team.

    From the day we went to look around to now, we can’t fault Busy Bees. The team are all so lovely, supportive, compassionate and my little boy adores them all. Since him starting there, you can see how much he has grown. It’s the nicest feeling taking him in the morning with a big grin on his face to picking him up with a smile too and knowing he’s in secure hands. The activities they do sound so much enjoyable, they are outside as much as possible. The food consistently sounds excellent, thank you team. You’re updated throughout the day with what your kid gets up to. They consistently have events going on and they make sure the families are included as much as possible. I can’t fault Busy Bees. Thank you so much for all you do. Such a excellent childcare centre.

    She is consistently cheerful to go, the team are lovely, compassionate and attentive and send regular updates of what the kids have been up to. She enjoys the activities and food, has developed socially and made some excellent friendships and feels like she is well prepared for starting school. Will be sad to leave! We have been truly cheerful with Busy Bees right from when our daughter first started.

    He loves his time there. The team are all lovely. They do a highly wide range of activities both inside and out. They tailor-make activities to suit your kid’s interests. My son loves the food they provide and truly enjoys the baking activities that they do.
    Would highly suggest Busy Bees, Southwell. My son has attended Busy Bees since he was eleven months old, he is now four years old.

    Updates between the childcare centre team and parents is outstanding and the team at Southwell make me sense reassured that the girls are ok and having lots of enjoyable. Having them at the childcare centre has also helped implement great structure in to their daily routines! I’ve seen the girls development and develop well since starting in the summer and I’m so pleased I picked this childcare centre! I know they’re cheerful and secure and they have so much enjoyable! Thanks to everyone at Busy Bees at Southwell! Busy Bees at Southwell childcare centre is fabulous, my two girls attend 3 days a week and they absolutely adore it!

    They have a sound knowledge of the eyfs and put it into practice. They are lovely and welcoming and my son has been coming since he was 7 months old. Lovely setting with incredible team that care for kids like they are their own.

    We’ve consistently been highly cheerful with everything, and we know our girls have been cared for and well looked after. They both enjoyed the activities (especially in pre-school), and we noticed with both that their self‑assurance grew ad they became more independent as a result of going to Busy Bees. The team and keep workers are excellent. We’ve recommended the childcare centre to others. Thanks for taking care of our girls! Our youngest now goes to Busy Bees, so we’ve been at the childcare centre for over five years.

    The team have been truly welcoming and welcoming and she has come on leaps and bounds throughout the year, turning into a lovely little girl. Her self‑assurance, attitude and awareness has improved and we know that she is now fully ready for her school adventure. The team have also been truly supportive with us with our food allergies and have helped me to manage the challenges that we face. When we started the re-introduction of foods, they again, were able to assistance me throughout the process. The outdoor space is excellent and as my little girl loves being outdoors this has truly allowed her to explore and understand the natural world around her. Honestly, this is a excellent childcare centre and one I would suggest to any other parents. My little girl has only been at the childcare centre for one year but she has absolutely enjoyed every day she has attended, in fact on those days she wasn’t attending she still wanted to go.

    Our eldest has come on leaps and bounds since he started there. Lots of time was put in by a number of the team to help our son acclimatise to being away from home and he now looks forward to childcare centre days and can’t wait to tell us about all the enjoyable things he’s been up to. The app provided to keep us up to date on what he has eaten is also truly supportive. We have been bowled over by how remarkable the team are at Busy Bees Southwell.

    All the team are remarkable and so welcoming. Our 9 month old son is due to start next month and we have no reservations about him starting – we’re excited to see how he changes and develops with the assistance of the Busy Bees Southwell team (and big sister)! Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees Southwell since 2019 and is currently loving her time in pre-school, so much so she often asks if she can go to childcare centre at the weekend!

    My daughter has thrived in this setting with compassionate and patient team who are highly welcoming and easy to talk to. All of the team get to know the kids well. There are consistently lots of activities for the kids to take part in and the outside area is absolutely exceptional. A remarkable childcare centre.

    Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds since attending Buy Bees Day Childcare centre. As a parent, it’s reassuring to know that Bees consistently go that extra mile in supporting every kid’s needs, especially their development! The remarkable team at Bees are consistently there to answer any questions and we would definitely suggest Busy Bees to any parent!
    We honestly can’t say enough high praise and thanks for taking such care of our little man!
    The feeling it gives us when dropping him off is like leaving him with family! Thank you Busy Bees. One word…outstanding!
