    The care and attention given to each kid is fantastic and the management team are consistently ready to help with any problems. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone.

    The team are all incredible and truly put in the time to get to know you and your kid. My daughter is consistently cheerful when I pick her up and she’s had lots of enjoyable all day. The team are excellent at following her routine and adapting it when it has changed at home. The management is outstanding and all the team are highly approachable and understanding. I adore bringing my daughter to Busy Bees as it has benefitted both of us massively and she loves coming.

    The team are welcoming and approachable and our son has formed a excellent bond with his key worker, both when he was in the baby room and now in the toddler room. The childcare centre is excellent at communicating what happens during the day and we consistently get a full handover when we collect at the end of the day. They share discovering with us and provide next steps so we can help at home too. We know our son is going to development and develop lots of new skills! They provide activities based on his interests. Every kid also has access to a excellent outside space whatever the time of year. The whole childcare centre has been supportive of our son’s medical needs, creating a healthcare plan with us which makes us sense confident that he is ok when we leave him in the morning.
    Busy Bees was definitely the right choice for our family, we have said to each other several times how pleased we are with Bury Bees. Our son loves going to Busy Bees.

    He loves going and has never once said he doesn’t want to go. The activities they do are excellent enjoyable, help him to engage and learn. He consistently eats pretty much everything as well. I would suggest them to anyone. Busy Bees have been remarkable the whole time my son has been attending and have especially risen to the challenges the past year or so have given us all.

    All team are welcoming and welcoming. The office team are consistently supportive if you need anything. The chefs are consistently trying new dishes that include a wide variety of healthy foods. I am truly glad I chose this childcare centre as watching my daughter being cheerful and excited to go in fills my self‑assurance and trust to leave her there whilst I go to work. My daughter loves her childcare centre and bonds truly well with all the team.

    The key workers and team have been incredible at integrating him into childcare centre. They have helped me sense at ease leaving him as well. They have all helped with his development he comes home a cheerful boy. I sense we are lucky to have this childcare centre on our doorstep. My kid has embraced going to childcare centre.

    She is compassionate and attentive and truly knows his personality. My son loves childcare centre and I know I have made the best decision in choosing Busy Bees. My son started childcare centre in June he is one year old and his key person has gone beyond my expectations in attentive for him.

    His key worker has taken a real interest in helping him develop various skills, and I was so cheerful to see how quickly she connected with him. Due to this close relationship that the childcare centre team have with my son, I totally trust their instincts about when he might be unwell and need time at home. You can tell as soon as you walk in, how committed to their roles and how much passion these ladies all have, I have a lot of respect for them and we are grateful for the care they provide our kid. I have been exceptionally impressed with the way all the team in Busy Bees Stowmarket look after my son and genuinely care.

    I sense that she is known and loved by the team in her room and she looks forward to going in every morning. She adores the messy playtime and interaction with peers the most plus she eats every bit of the incredible food prepared on site. I am 100% cheerful with the care my daughter receives.

    The girls who look after him have been outstanding. They are all highly nurturing and consistently take time to feedback at the end of the day. He is highly cheerful in his room, feels cared for and secure.
    On a different note, I am not finding the app highly great since the update. I am highly cheerful with the care my kid has been given since starting in November 2019.

    They are so cheerful after they have been at childcare centre and don’t want to leave. The team are lovely and supportive, much better standards to the last childcare centre the kids were at. Since my daughter and son have started at Busy Bees they have grown in self‑assurance.

    No one can gain entrance without recognition. I have witnessed team leave unrecognised parents at the door whilst they seek verification from their peers.
    Despite plenty of ‘messy playtime’, a high level of hygiene is clearly maintained.
    Team will consistently be able to give a detailed account of your kids’s activities, and pictures/displays/photographs all help me engage with their activities whilst they are not in my care.
    I sense confident leaving my kids with such courteous, nurturing team. All are professionally trained and are granted expert growth through a team Academy scheme.
    Most importantly, both my kids have immense enjoyable and have made their own strong friendships without guidance from me, preparing them for school and allowing them a life out of the home.
    Food is nutritional and enjoyed with plenty of fresh fruit. I have time to praise the operations of Busy Bees Childcare centre (Stowmarket).
    Foremost, I am impressed with the security of the building.

    We have had some recent separation anxiety issues when dropping her off in the morning and have needed to try and make some changes to her daytime routine to improve her sleep at night. The team have been outstanding in helping to overcome these difficulties, offering some different distractions and a new morning regime to help with settling in and reducing the afternoon sleep on a permanent basis. Nothing has been too much trouble at all.

    It can be an emotional challenge, for me in particular, having our daughter in childcare centre for so many hours every week, but we know she thoroughly enjoys being there, has lots of friends to playtime with and has great relationships with adults she trusts. I was recommended by several parents to consider Busy Bees as our childcare centre and now I do the same and refer people on myself, cannot suggest highly enough for everything they do for our daughter. Our daughter attends childcare centre on a full-time basis, she is currently part of the Toddler Room.

    The team are excellent, they truly care about the kids who go there and the facilities are truly great for each age group. My daughter is about to move up to Toddlers and the plan in place to transition to the next room has been truly great for her with her old and new key worker talking to me about how she has been doing with the move. My daughter has been been attending Busy Bees at Stowmarket since October last year and I truly can’t fault the childcare centre.

    The balance of activities between playtime, playtime whilst discovering and discovering has been set perfectly.

    Every member of team is welcoming, approachable and they are all clearly adored by the kids.

    The transition from Busy Bees to primary school is being made highly easy.

    I shall be so sad when my daughter leaves and cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough. My daughter has grown and developed so well under the guidance of the team at Busy Bees.

    They are so attentive and educational. They provide feedback and ideas on how to help kids flourish. I could not be happier to have our son go there and highly suggest sending yours as well. We adore Busy Bees.

    I sense highly confident leaving my little boy in their care and they consistently try enjoyable new ideas for messy playtime and songs and different discovering techniques. I adore the childcare centre, I think the team are all highly expert and highly welcoming.

    We were left to make that decision. We were recently told by one of the top hospital consultants that we should think about taking him to toddler groups and maybe start to think about childcare centre. He’s been attending for 18 months now, 4 days a week! In that time he has been fully supported with his development and social skills. Any suggestions from his medical team are consistently embraced. My son has a lot of time at hospital and away from childcare centre but he is highly well adjusted. He is thriving at Busy Bees. We all receive excellent assistance. His social development is not behind as it is normally for kids that are in hospital a lot. This is all down to the Busy Bees team. I adore seeing him do things that he has learned at childcare centre. It’s hard to see the difference between my son and any other kid. This is down to the excellent care, help and assistance he’s received. No one is left behind. Due to medical treatment, we couldn’t get a clear answer from my son’s consultants if he could attend childcare centre.

    I would suggest them in a heartbeat.
    My son has never refused to go in, he loves all the team and enjoys his day so much that sometimes he doesn’t want to leave.
    His development has been excellent. He is consistently coming home singing or repeating something he has learnt.
    The team are fantastic. They consistently give feedback and are more than ready, able and willing to help.
    They encourage interaction with home and family through special events which truly helps you sense involved in their development.
    I am so pleased that I chose for Busy Bees Stowmarket to care for my son, he is so cheerful I couldn’t ask for more. The care and facilities are remarkable.
