April 3, 2017 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended the nursery prior to starting school. The staff have been excellent over the 5 years my children have attended they have an excellent way with children. She made them feel safe and secure when dropping hem off, making it a pleasant experience and I could go to work relaxes knowing they were happy and content. All the staff are excellent.

April 10, 2017 at 12:00 amI have used this nursery since 2010 and both my children have attended here. My son still is at this nursery. The staff are all really friendly and helpful and I feel they have a good relationship with my son. They certainly know his likes and dislikes. The nursery has recently been redecorated and with new flooring is looking good. I think the outside space could do with a re-vamp but all in all, would highly recommend.

May 2, 2017 at 12:00 amI love this nursery! The staff are exceptional so friendly and caring that my little one took the time to settle in. I am 100% confident that he is being well looked after and am kept informed of everything he has been up to and how to help his development. The menu is full of healthy choices and is frequently changed. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

February 26, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son and daughter have attended this nursery. I am confident that the staff looking after the children are fully competent child carers. The staff are lovely and friendly and gave me reassurance that my children were OK. My son loves going to nursery and his speaking and learning have really come on.

March 27, 2018 at 12:00 amI believe the staff at Busy Bees at Blaydon are very caring and get to know the children well to meet their needs. E.g my daughter attended last year, staff knew my daughter loved dressing up. My son, this year everybody knows he loves dinosaurs. I have no worries or concerns when my child is at nursery and I believe that is how it should be. Excellent staff.

April 24, 2018 at 12:00 amI cannot find a fault with care given here! The activities and learning is well tailored to the childrens age and abilities. The food is all made in-house, fresh and organic. Outside play areas are large and segregated by age groups, so the smaller children can play safely. Indoor toys and books are age appropriate, cleaned regularly and batteries replaced when needed. Each child’s day is summarised in a diary for the parents to view or take home and return.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amOver the past 1 year 6 months, the care and attention given to my daughter has been amazing. The staff are friendly and approachable, which makes it very easy for a new mum to ask questions without any worry.
Staff helped the transitioning of my 9 months old so easy, even when breastfed until 2, they were keen advocates to follow my wishes. I am so glad we came, her development is excellent and everyone says so. It’s by far, down to the time at nursery she’s gotten so independent. Thank you.

August 2, 2018 at 12:00 amMy Daughter has been at this nursery since she was 18 Months old, in that time she has flourished and is now a confident happy little girl. The staff are very caring at this point in our journey as our daughter is due to leave in August to go to Reception. We find ourselves leaving with lifelong friends and lots of happy memories.
The nursery is well equipped with a good variety of toys to help learn and develop. The staff are very friendly, polite and welcoming to all parents and children. I would not hesitate to use this nursery again and can’t recommend it enough.

August 6, 2019 at 12:00 amThe staff at Busy Bees at Blaydon are professional, approachable and caring. They treat my son like he’s their own and my son has a strong bond, not only with his key worker but also the rest of the staff in the room. The staff from the other rooms in the nursery all know all the children by name not just the children in their own rooms.
The nursery has a friendly, homely feel. It is not the biggest nursery which means all the children are valued and all staff know them. I would highly recommend this nursery.
The management is approachable and deals with any queries straight away. The staff are all lovely and obviously love children. Above all, I feel my child is well cared for and provided with stimulating activities which are linked to his interests. He is happy to go into nursery and happy when I pick him up.

September 6, 2019 at 12:00 amHave used this nursery since 2015 and have nothing but praise for all the staff who have helped and looked after my daughter. Seeing her develop every day, being more confident in herself and learning new things all the time is really nice to see and I hope all the staff are very proud to know how much they help and bring on the children. Thank you Busy Bees.

September 9, 2019 at 12:00 amNursery staff are very friendly and children appear to warm to them. Good number of activities available. Would like feedback about what activities my child has been doing. Feedback tends to be mainly just about what food my child has eaten during the day.

August 6, 2020 at 12:00 amExcellent staff, very friendly and like 2nd mums I feel confident in sending my son, it is a safe and happy space, he has come along so far since joining. I wouldn’t send him anywhere else!

August 18, 2020 at 12:00 amThe nursery is excellent. They have a range of facilities. The staff are beyond excellent with the children. My daughter loves it so much she can’t wait to go in the morning. The place is clean and by all accounts (according to my daughter) the food is good too. Busy Bees overall has been excellent during the COVID-19 crisis. I would strongly recommend this nursery.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amCannot praise the staff at Blaydon nursery enough, nor the care and attention they give my son. It’s clear there is genuine care for all of the children within their care. He has flourished in his short time at the nursery with his speech and motor skills advancing almost weekly. Can’t wait to see how much he develops with you all as he grows.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy nephew has been attending Blaydon since January 2022, the care he has received is second to none, particularly since the recent change in management. He loves to go into nursery and he has came on so much since attending, he comes home with new words every time he goes and has learned so many social skills which is amazing to see. The staff are fantastic and it is evident that they care for the children and know them inside out. The building has recently been refurbished and the resources and activities on offer to the children are fantastic, he will try food that he would not even consider eating at home. I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!
