    They really listen and understand his needs and make sure that is thriving in his everyday activities there. They have exceptional and imaginative activities for the kids that are educational and enjoyable. My son loves his childcare centre and it’s all down to the fantastic and attentive team. Thank you. Busy Bees Childcare centre in Welwyn Garden City have been absolutely remarkable with the care of my son.

    The women who work here are angels – nothing is too much trouble and they all bond beautifully and so naturally with the kids. The settling-in is a exceptional pace (for mum and baby!) and the updates you get during the day are so regular and thorough. Food all cooked fresh onsite and the space is huge and filled with exceptional things for the kids. I am so impressed that even in the baby room there are themed activities set out for the kids to help them discover new things and interests. I could suggest the childcare centre more highly. It’s a exceptional space filled with just lovely, attentive people. We have been so cheerful since we joined, and on the days when my little one has been unsettled, he comes home smelling of perfume which I adore because I know it means he has had extra cuddles from two team members. We have been so cheerful and grateful for the care and adore both us and our 12 month old have had since joining Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City in May.

    Before this she had barely been with anyone apart from me and her dad due to Covid. I was really nervous about returning to work and her starting childcare centre.
    It’s now December 2020 and I am so thrilled with how well she has settled. The team there show so much care and attention. We get daily updates on the ParentZone app. She is generally so much more confident around strangers and her sleeping and eating have improved.
    The team also have a rigorous approach to Covid, taking temperatures on entry and only allowing one family into the lobby at once.
    Thank you so much to everyone at Busy Bees, you are all total superstars and such an important part of our lives. Our daughter started at Busy Bees in October 2020, when she was 11 months.

    The team are all outstanding and provide a very high standard of care, listening and engaging in my son’s interests. The team have dealt really well with the Covid-19 situation and provided clear updates throughout and reassurance that our son is secure and that our needs are listened to as parents. The app works well to get updates and the team are consistently cheerful to make time to discuss anything. The activities they do are interesting and varied and my son consistently goes in happily and has created such a lovely bond with the team. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it. My son has been at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City for nearly 2-years now and he absolutely loves it there.

    I get daily updates on what she eats as well as pictures of what she’s done that day which I adore. An absolutely remarkable childcare centre, with compassionate team and full of excellent activities for my daughter to get involved in, as well as help her develop and learn. My daughter has settled into the childcare centre so quickly and not surprisingly as the team are so lovely.

    He has come on so well socially and it’s lovely to see him growing bonds with both his carers and peers. Thank you for the incredible assistance everyone at the centre has given him and myself. I can’t wait to see how he continues to grow and develop within the centre! My son absolutely loves coming to Busy Bees.

    It’s incredible how the office team recognise and remember all the parents and kids’s names, which I have observed at pickups. It’s that personal touch that made me sense welcome from the start. The settling in sessions offered has made a difference, for both my kid and me. They have given me a excellent start and the key worker is so attentive and really knows my kid well. I am so cheerful with this provision and definitely suggest it. The team have been really supportive at offering extra advice regarding childcare funding options and answering my questions about their centre processes.

    She had a terrible start in her other childcare centre and immediately felt secure and secure at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City when she started. This is down to the team and how incredible they are. Thank you so much for supporting my daughter through her transition and for reassuring me as her mum. As a parent, you only want the best for your kids and ultimately for them to be cheerful. I know when I drop my daughter off that she is getting the very best out of her day. Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City has been so welcoming to my little girl.

    Kids have a varied and exciting time at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City which really helps them develop, with enjoyable themed weeks often around Calendar events, we have seen our son really develop well over the years that he has been there. We also adore the well thought out meal plans which are all nutritionally balanced for their needs. Excellent childcare centre with really attentive team.

    They are willing to invest their interest and time in my kid, making sure my kid learns and enjoys her time in the childcare centre. My kid really enjoys herself with her carers and friends. Would highly suggest this childcare centre. The educators are so supportive, creative and loving.

    Our daughter continues to grow so much from attending. She’s so confident socially and loves discovering new things. It feels like her language acquisition gets better every day! You can really see the difference between her and her friends who don’t go to childcare centre – she shares, is empathetic and even is great at tidying up! We adore all the activities she gets to take part in and she clearly loves her carers.
    The food she eats is healthy and varied (and she eats a lot more adventurously than at home!)
    The team are also excellent at communicating with parents – the app is fantastic and we get to have a excellent summary of the day when we pick our daughter up. Would 100% suggest to anyone. We couldn’t be happier with sending our daughter to Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City Day Childcare centre.

    I was so anxious to send my 11 month old off to childcare centre when I started back at work, but the team and the team made me sense so relaxed that I was immediately put at ease. After the initial settle sessions and a couple of weeks of feeling hesitant, my daughter began to throw her arms out for the team each morning. We get daily updates on everything, food, nappies, sleep, activities, and photos – it is unbelievable. Every day I pick her up, someone speaks to me and tells me even more about how my daughter has been that day. It is clear how much adore and care is in that room! I hunted high and low for a childcare centre that I was pleased with (using this website!) and am beyond cheerful with Busy Bees. My daughter has been going for 3 months now and loves it. Thank you millions! I cannot suggest Busy Bees highly enough.

    We have been delighted by the adore and assistance they have given him, and us as parents. The team are remarkable and has helped our son grow and develop so much. He happily walks into the childcare centre every day and comes out with a smile on his face. The activities are great and our son seems to delight in them. The app updates are a bonus and certainly, when he started they were a real reassurance. We’d highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Our son started at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City in October 2021 as I returned to work.

    They really interact with the kids and lay on so many activities that my little one is consistently chatting about on the way home. The team really know the kids well and give excellent feedback on how they’re getting on. They consistently take on any team feedback well and deal with any problems that come up. Remarkable group of team at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City.

    They keep us well informed, involved and listen to the parent’s really well. We use reusable nappies and they didn’t bat an eyelid, they were cheerful to use them and we’ve not had any problems with them. They are also really understanding at times when you need to be that Mum and phone them for reassurance about your kid, such as when they’re settling into a new room or have been poorly. My little girl is really cheerful there and the carers have formed excellent little bonds with her. They also managed to get her to sleep on the very first day when she’d refused to do anything but contact nap for me. They are compassionate and responsive about sleep in particular. Really cheerful with our choice and compassionate of jealous of the lunch menu! An absolutely lovely childcare centre that is really kid-focused.

    We get daily updates on what they’ve been doing and regular updates throughout the day on eating, plus nappies for my son. Team have helped my son settle into childcare centre life and I can see the difference in how he plays and engages with toys at home, based on how he plays at childcare centre. My daughter is off to school in September and team are helping to develop the skills she will need for then. Activities are well prepared and engaging. Meals are well balanced and healthy. I have consistently found the team welcoming and enthusiastic. My son (13 months old) and three-year-old daughter, both attend Busy Bees at Welwyn Garden City and I would happily suggest it.

    We found that the managers and the team have been very welcoming and welcoming, and are willing to help address any concerns which you may have. Throughout the pandemic and beyond we have been kept informed of any changes which are happening at the childcare centre, which has helped us as parents sense at ease. This may be the temperature checks at drop off, regularly Covid-19 testing and informing of any cases they may have within the centre, which has been excellent for a worried family. Over the last few years due to the pandemic, parents are no longer allowed into the rooms to drop off or collect, however all meals and activities are updated on the app. If you need to speak with a key worker then they are available via email or phone which is very supportive. Range of activities are planned and they have lots of enjoyable. This is one of the pricier nurseries but would definitely suggest it to others. Both of my kids attended this childcare centre, although one has now left and I couldn’t be happier with it.

    He loves the team and what is even nicer, is that they clearly adore him too. The activities he does every day are incredible and I really appreciate the time everyone takes to tell me about his day at pick up! I was worried about my kid starting childcare centre after being born at the beginning of the pandemic and lockdown but he has really come along at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City.

    At the weekends he looks quite annoyed when he has to stay home with us! He is consistently so cheerful going in and barely looks back to say bye. My son has been going to Busy Bees since June 2021 and absolutely loves it there.

    He runs to the team every morning and comes out with a huge smile on his face in the afternoon! We can see what he’s been up to each day, including his meals and nappy changes via the app. The team were nothing short of incredible when he was ill recently! Highly suggest. Our son’s been attending Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City 5-days per week for the last 18-months and we’re still very cheerful with the childcare centre.
