October 11, 2024 at 11:16 amIf the kid is becoming upset they’re very comforting. They doo lots of activities. The app is consistently updated. Plenty of toys. Very welcoming team.

November 21, 2024 at 2:01 amMy son, initially upset to be left, soon settled very quickly and seemed very comfortable with all of the team. We returned to the childcare centre as soon as it reopened, and the precautions which have been put in place put my mind at ease. I was concerned that my son would struggle to settle again having only been for a few weeks, but the team were very understanding and being in smaller bubbles meant he was able to re-familiarise with his key worker as well as interact with a small number of kids. I really couldn’t suggest Busy Bees at Bernard Street enough, and have 100% positive interactions with all of the team. I sense very comfortable leaving my son in their care. Our kid started at Busy Bees at Bernard Street just before lockdown, and all of the team were really accommodating and went the extra mile to help him, and me, adjust to the situation!

November 23, 2024 at 5:19 pmOur son has loved returning and consistently enjoys his day. I was disappointed with the increase in fees this year in particular – over 3% increase seems excessive. Since returning from lockdown – the team have done a really great job to create a sense of normality to kids who really have no idea of what is happening.

January 5, 2025 at 10:35 pmThanks for the attention and care of the educators, my daughter made friends with other kids and she was very comfortable.
Thanks a lot! My daughter came to the kindergarten when she didn’t know English at all and for a year her level of English grew up.

January 8, 2025 at 4:00 pmI adore the daily updates on the app and the effort educators make to include as much information possible on the kid’s daily activities and development. I adore the cheerful face I see every morning I drop my daughter off! I’ve consistently loved this school and my son has very cheerful memories of his time here 4 years ago! The office team is outstanding too, consistently answering any queries I have efficiently and professionally! Very fond of everyone and grateful to them for the excellent job they do every day. Busy Bees at Bernard Street team have been so fantastic and my daughter has been so cheerful at this childcare centre.

March 9, 2025 at 5:25 pmThe girls and the manager have been excellent. Whenever I visit, there is a inviting feeling; all the team are welcoming. My son is now in the middle room, and the consistency in the care he receives in different rooms is excellent. I consistently sense comfortable and secure leaving my son. Thank you very much, Busy Bees, for helping my son. My son started in the baby room in February 2019.

April 1, 2025 at 11:45 amIt was evident that the team had put every effort into making it a memorable afternoon for both the kids and their parents. It was noted that some team had come in on their day off, rearranged holidays and returned from other nurseries to be part of the day. The finishing touches including games, class of 2023 signage and keepsakes were all really appreciated and gave a expert sense to the day. If there was any area for future improvements, it would be around communications. The date moved a few times and there was some confusion over timings in the lead-up to the event ( 4-6pm or 5 – 7pm). This might have been overcome with dedicated chums and preschool parents. That said, all in all, a lovely way to end 4 years at the childcare centre. We thank all the team that have been involved in major development – particularly those who have been there from day one including 4 team members in particular. Overall, the graduation was a really great event.

May 6, 2025 at 9:35 amWe moved to St Albans from London in April 2019 and it was a excellent move for the boys. They have developed brilliantly and the care they receive is first class and it’s consistently a great sign when they want to go to childcare centre! The app is excellent and all of the team are remarkable, really welcoming and fully engaged in the boys’ development. In summary, a excellent childcare centre and would highly suggest it. We currently have twin boys at the childcare centre and they honestly couldn’t be happier.

May 16, 2025 at 2:27 amShe was quick to adapt to the setting. The team are very welcoming and it’s a very attentive setting. I would suggest it to other parents looking for a nurturing setting. My daughter has been very cheerful at the childcare centre.
Arden Lawson
May 22, 2025 at 1:14 amWe have been so cheerful with how attentive and loving the team are towards him. They made the settling in as smooth as can be. Since then, he is ever enthusiastic to go to the childcare centre and greets the carers with a smile every morning. He clearly gains a lot from the journey. They have a varied menu and he’s consistently bringing home fantastic art. The assessment/observations are clearly well done and thought through; accurately describing what we see at home. Our son joined at the age of 1 and has been attending for the last 6 months.
Jesse Griffin
May 26, 2025 at 2:57 amShe enjoys going to childcare centre, her self‑assurance has improved and she tries new things, consistently being encouraged by the team there. Even though there have been some periods of instability with the team, my daughter doesn’t seem to been affected. I sense that the team take a lot of time and care to get to know her and develop activities to assistance her continued development. I would happily suggest the childcare centre. My daughter has been at the childcare centre for a year now and she has developed really well.

June 1, 2025 at 4:20 pmThe team create a enjoyable but structured setting and would highly suggest for anyone considering sending their kid to childcare centre in St Albans. They also offer half days in the middle of the week that many other nurseries don’t offer. All in all the overall care, attention and food they receive is first class and we definitely made the right choice sending our kids here. Thank you! We have two kids in the childcare centre and they both adore the place and missed it so desperately over lockdown, which is testament to the care that they receive from the team.

June 2, 2025 at 11:05 pmWe’ve been attending for three years and had a great journey overall. New management has given a new lease of life and enjoyable to the childcare centre, it has definitely gotten more communicative about our kid’s discovering and playtime time. A inviting, welcoming childcare centre with welcoming team.

June 3, 2025 at 9:24 pmMy daughter has been going for almost a year, and she loves it, and the team are all remarkable. I sense so cheerful knowing she’s being so well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest them! I have been so impressed with Busy Bees Bernard Street.
Dakota Keane
June 21, 2025 at 8:07 amAn outstanding childcare centre – incredibly welcoming team members who have worked tirelessly over the years to look after our two boys, both of whom have loved their time there. Thank you! Would definitely suggest.
