October 20, 2024 at 12:04 amShe loves her days there as is consistently quick in the door with a little wave goodbye. The childcare centre provides a secure location and premise for our kids and the team are consistently there to update you on the kid’s day. Looking forward to seeing how she progresses over the next year as she goes through the other age rooms. My, just over, 2 year old has been going to this childcare centre since she was 10 months to have childcare for 2 days of the week when daddy is also at work.

October 21, 2024 at 1:52 amMy daughter was a highly shy little girl and has come on leaps and bounds with her self‑assurance, the team are all an absolute delight and will forever be thankful to them for taking care and helping/contributing toward making her the confident little girl she is today. I knew from the second I walked in that Busy Bees was the right childcare centre for my daughter who is now in pre-school at Busy Bees and still is the best decision I made.

October 22, 2024 at 10:51 pmAll childcare centre team seemed highly nice, welcoming and supportive. We have been updated regularly on how our son getting on etc. My son has been going to this childcare centre since he was 16 months and we have been highly cheerful with the care provided by Busy Bees Pinewood.

October 26, 2024 at 6:19 amThe team are truly decent people and they go out of their way to make kids cheerful. Both of mine greets me with gummy smiles (my baby) or recounting stories of the day. Lovely place. My first kid attended since he was a year old and he came on leaps and bounds in self‑assurance, so I enrolled my last kid here also.

November 8, 2024 at 9:18 amThe whole atmosphere of the childcare centre is incredible and everyone is so welcoming too, such incredible activities go on in the baby room and I can tell when I pick her up she’s had so much enjoyable! Her interactions with others have massively improved and this is definitely down to the activities that promote this area. She truly enjoys the meals that get cooked for her at the childcare centre and I am just so pleased with how well looked after she truly is. All the team go above and beyond to care for my little girl and it doesn’t go unnoticed. My daughter has attended the childcare centre since seven months old and she has honestly thrived and grown so much since then.

November 20, 2024 at 11:09 pmIt is such a welcoming place, and although it is hard to leave your little ones, it makes it so much easier knowing they are in such a fantastic setting. It feels like a family. My son is 7. Everyone still remembers his name and takes time to have a chat with him too. Would suggest to anyone. Welcoming team who genuinely care for your kids. Both my kids have been cared for at Busy Bees Pinewood since they were 11 months old.

November 26, 2024 at 5:35 amAll the team are so welcoming and truly take the time to get to know the kids and the parents too. We consistently sense we are updated with what our little boy is doing and that they truly help with his development. Our little boy has been going to Busy Bees Pinewood since he was 9 months old and we cannot speak highly enough of the childcare centre.

December 28, 2024 at 10:58 amMy son has thrived from being at this childcare centre and the team that work here do everything to make sure his best interests are cared for. As a first-time parent, I felt comfortable in asking the team if/when there were things I should be doing to further his development or things he should be achieving that he yet wasn’t, and I was consistently given positive answers and feedback on how my son was developing. I’m sad to think that he will be leaving this place next year for school. The kids truly are the heart of Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood. My son started childcare centre in 2016 at 10 months old, I had every emotion running through me and I was assured by the highly attentive and well-managed team every time I dropped off, picked up or phoned that my son was loving his time at Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.

January 4, 2025 at 5:11 amHe started just one day a week and has now increased to three full days a week. Since being at this childcare centre he has thrived and developed greatly in all areas. The team had him potty trained and dry within a week and his speech is incredible and he isn’t even 3 yet. The team care for him like family and he loves them too. The app is updated daily with toilet, sleep and food updates and they upload any pictures of activities being undertaken. I cannot suggest this childcare centre and the team enough! My son has been at Busy Bees now for almost 2 years.

January 28, 2025 at 12:55 pmThroughout the pandemic, they have put each kid first and ensured their safety throughout.
I only have exceptional things to say. My daughter has flourished at this childcare centre and I couldn’t be happier with her care or development.
Alex Frost
February 10, 2025 at 10:49 pmThe team at Busy Bees were incredible. They helped him grow and develop and he had a great journey. The team had great knowledge and supported him in any way possible. Our son has attended since he was 9 months old.

March 25, 2025 at 7:59 pmBabies rooms are highly great sensory and care too. Preschool is outstanding in every meaning, care, activities, team, food and drink. My son has lots of interesting things and built and a highly great relationship with his key worker. Thank you for your exceptional and lovely team (including office and kitchen team) and for looking after my son over the past years. We are highly grateful. Overall I was satisfied with the childcare centre over the years my son spent there.

April 6, 2025 at 4:45 pmHe started at 11 months, attended throughout Covid with all the restrictions and is now in his last few weeks with the childcare centre. Throughout the entire journey, our son’s needs came first and nothing was too much for the team. He formed highly close relationships to all the childcare centre workers in his room, and extra special ones with his key workers – which made it easier and more reassuring leaving him. All the team have consistently been lovely and supportive with any enquiries etc.
Having just attended the school leavers graduation, it is truly clear how much extra effort the team put in, to give the kids the absolute best experiences. I cannot thank them all enough throughout the years for helping, teaching and growing our little baby into a compassionate and attentive little boy. You truly are all incredible. The best childcare centre we could have found our son.

May 11, 2025 at 2:25 amChildcare centre team consistently appear pleasant and informative on my Daughter’s day, with what she has taken part in, eaten, and development.
I am highly cheerful with the childcare centre and sense my daughter has learnt so much already, academically and socially.
My Daughter also appears to delight in childcare centre with no issues at drop off and beaming smiles and cuddles when she is collected.

May 11, 2025 at 5:35 amAfter an emotional start when our son was 9 months we have been reassured every step of the way! They cater well for his dietary needs and we consistently collect a highly cheerful little boy! I consistently suggest the childcare centre to everyone and anyone! We have found Busy Bees Pinewood to be outstanding, from management team to the fantastic ladies looking after our son.

May 18, 2025 at 10:43 pmWe put a lot of trust in the childcare centre as regards to our son’s welfare but were completely let down.
Our son is a cheerful little fella and hardly ever made a fuss about going to childcare centre and suddenly became teary whenever we approached the childcare centre.
Even after we raised the concern there was no correspondence from the childcare centre to deal with the issues raised and rather we were only contacted to confirm if we would still be paying for the sessions our son didn’t attend (which we paid for anyway). It was quite sad truly.
Something wasn’t right and it wasn’t investigated.
Anyway, our son is in a different childcare centre now and he is back to his cheerful little self again.
We have been told that he is consistently in a great mood. The childcare centre is definitely one of the worst choices we made as parents.

May 20, 2025 at 10:49 amWe were sold as soon as we attended an open day. The childcare centre and team are exceptional throughout. Our daughter loves attending and we never have issues dropping her off. Plenty of free parking for drops offs. Different activities each day, the rooms are large, spotless and engaging. Excellent events held during the year. Our daughter loves mealtimes, the food is cooked fresh on-site and varies frequently. We adore receiving the updates daily and pictures of her enjoying the day. Updates with team is excellent, they consistently want to hear what she has been up and encourage to help with her development. A great size private garden for the kids and you can hear the laughter when you approach. Great security measures and checks at the front of the building. Couldn’t suggest enough, book a visit, they will not disappoint. Our daughter has attended this childcare centre since she was nine months old.

July 3, 2025 at 3:13 pmMy daughter has been attending busy bees since she was 9 months old, she has consistently been highly cheerful here, all the team are lovely and are incredible at what they do, security is a priority and consistently sense my kid is secure, the meals are homemade and full of nutrition, my daughter is now in the preschool room and has excelled childcare centre has made her confident with other kids and is more than prepared for reception.
Lane Quinn
July 8, 2025 at 11:22 amI’ve never had any problems and my kids have loved it and helped them grow and the team are incredible. Lovely childcare centre both my kids have gone here and my son leaves at the end of August to start primary school.
Billie Owens
July 8, 2025 at 3:13 pmIt’s a lovely discovering setting with welcoming welcoming team who genuinely care for your kids. Both of my girls have attended Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.
The older one has just left having attended since 10 months old and is now school ready and my younger one is in the baby room.
The level of care for my girls has consistently been outstanding and their key workers have met with me and spoken at handovers at length about how they are getting on and helped to settle them in.
