    I cannot begin to explain the amount of adore and care both her and us as a family have seen from all the team. They take the time to learn about our family and each kid’s individual needs. They use the activities we do at home and incorporate them into their discovering at childcare centre. Every day there is something different for them to explore, with both enjoyable and educational elements, and are often reported on in the app for us to see what they’ve been up to. They are given a wide variety of nutritious meals every day, with dietary requirements consistently taken highly seriously and explained to the kids so they understand why they may have something slightly different to their peers. Their drop off and pick up times are so flexible which is perfect for unsociable jobs such as my own. There is not a single thing I can fault about Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere, their care exceeds any expectations I’ve ever had, and will consistently suggest them to anyone. My daughter has been in various Busy Bees since she turned 1.

    The team consistently put the kids at the forefront of their care, are compassionate and take excellent interest in the kids as individuals. They get the families involved in activities for special days like Mother’s/Father’s Day, have parent partnership meetings, family social activities (treasure hunt) and also encourage home discovering journals which are incorporated into themes of playtime and development during the childcare centre day. The childcare centre is lovely with a recently refurbished interior, has a lovely large garden area outside, delicious healthy food and snacks and the team are remarkable.

    She loves and cares for him with passion and dedication. I adore receiving weekly photos of my son playing and discovering. He loves going to childcare centre. Room manager is so engaging and clearly a huge asset to the childcare centre. My son’s key person is outstanding.

    He is so cheerful to walk in every time we drop him off which truly shows how cheerful he is going. They are all excellent and cheerful to answer any questions. Would highly suggest. Our 26-month-old son has attended Rushmere Busy Bees now for the last 9 months and the team are consistently so welcoming and supportive and he consistently has a busy enjoyable-packed day do all sorts of activities and discovering new things.

    My little girl is highly fond of them and has a lovely bond with her key worker who is remarkable. They are consistently truly welcoming in the morning and manage to reassure and cheer up my little girl if she is emotional. Her language was slightly delayed and the remarkable work of the team has helped her to catch up now without needing SLT. We couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees Rushmere. Thank you. The team at Busy Bees Rushmere are absolutely lovely.

    Nothing but enjoyable, laughter, discovering and making some excellent friends in a fantastic, nurturing setting. My son was exceptionally well cared for by carers that clearly took a real interest in his well being and development. Management is supportive, welcoming and accommodating and the two keyworkers my son had were by far the best you could hope to have for your kids in your absence. Well, what can I say about my son’s journey over the last few years?

    He says he is a ‘big boy now’.
    Excellent childcare centre and excellent team. We have consistently had positive experiences at Busy Bees.
    My son loves going and we find it difficult to get him to leave in the evening.
    In February they changed the rooms to enable a better transition to school which my son loves.

    She also eats all the lovely food prepared for her. I am highly pleased with the care and education my daughter has and continues to receive. A lovely childcare centre with excellent team.
    My daughter has a fantastic time and enjoys playing with friends and discovering through the various activities provided.

    The care they give to my 2 little ones is second to none, my eldest absolutely adores it and all the team. He clearly feels secure, confident, and cared for. The childcare centre has been outstanding for his language development, toilet training, mark-making, and social skills, and in introducing my daughter, they made me sense nothing but confident that she would be well taken care of. The regular updates and photos provide reassurance during the worrying time of returning to work. I simply cannot thank them enough and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest the childcare centre. Busy Bees at Rushmere is outstanding.

    He beams with delight as soon as we pull in to the car park. It is such a lovely place to spend time and the pictures he brings home are just magical. My precious little boy loves coming to this fantastic setting.

    Excellent entertainment, food, care and updates. He loves it there! The childcare centre have been exceptional for our little one especially as he joined as nine-month-old post-national lockdowns.

    All the team at Busy Bees Rushmere Ipswich have taken time to get to know my son.
    This shines through with how welcome we are made to sense every morning and by how much my son enjoys attending.
    My son talks excitedly about his day after every session.
    This makes going to work so much easier knowing my son is cheerful.
    Busy Bees have managed my son’s food allergy exceptionally well, ensuring his food is secure to eat but also serving like for like meals where possible so he does not sense left out.

    Consistently smiling. The reception area is consistently spotless and welcoming with drinks and snacks if you want them. I’m told every day what my son has eaten and what he has learnt and they are highly great with reporting accidents and behaviour. Thank you for a lovely journey. The team and management have been highly welcoming, expert and polite to me and my son.

    My son has transitioned into pre-school, and the team have been outstanding with updates around changes in the process and how the childcare centre is now working. Highly impressed. Excellent return to childcare centre following on from lockdown.

    I cannot praise the team for helping both parent and kid enough. Finding the balance of what works for your kid and not treating them all the same. They go the extra mile supporting you when you need extra sessions. 100% cleanliness throughout. Perfect Chef for my little one too. She loves her childcare centre family! Outstanding service all round.

    The team are supportive and supportive. My daughter has consistently been highly cheerful at childcare centre and myself and partner have also built a excellent relationship with the team. We have never had to complain and couldn’t praise the childcare centre enough. My journey with Busy Bees and all the team has been incredible.

    Better playtime equipment could be provided in outside area – slide etc.
    Not enough team to kid ratio in the mornings sometimes. Overall, highly cheerful with care, team can comment on what my kid has said in the day which I adore.
    Food choice is outstanding, welcoming my kid in mornings, highly great to make her sense at ease. My kid is highly cheerful here, outstanding services.
