    In difficult times childcare centre has been the place we are consistently greeted with a wave and a smile! My two kids adore their key workers and consistently have lots of enjoyable. The childcare centre goes above and beyond and treat the kids like their own. Home from home for my little ones – but extra enjoyable at childcare centre! Wow, Busy Bees blown away by the welcoming team!

    My daughter’s key workers have been remarkable in helping her to settle in. Whenever I call to check how she’s getting on I consistently get detailed answers and sense reassured she’s ok.

    One final point is that my daughter has been on quite a few courses of antibiotics. The childcare centre workers have been fantastic in encouraging her to take it as it’s consistently a struggle at home.

    She’s recently moved rooms and still misses her key worker from the previous room. Can’t suggest the team enough. I have been impressed with everyone at Busy Bees in Formby, from the office to the childcare centre workers.

    Nothing is too much trouble and they are all so inviting and welcoming.

    We sense highly confident and comfortable leaving our 18-month-old son. He is well looked after by the team in his class. The team at Busy Bees are lovely.

    All of the team are attentive and take time to understand all of our needs. A excellent setting for our son to develop. We would highly suggest. A highly welcoming and inviting welcome helped our son settle in quickly.

    They are seeking to improve all the time, this includes the garden space and discovering/activities for the kids, transition to school for preschoolers. The team are all truly attentive and you do genuinely sense that they truly do want the best for your little one. They have a parent app which you are able keep updated with day to day care and also forward info and activities you all do as a family so keeps everyone updated and little ones delight in talking about what they have been doing. We have used Busy Bees for the last 7 years and continue to be impressed with the care they give to our son and now daughter.

    I remember looking around nurseries when my first kid was only 18 months and was being worried about leaving my kid in the hands of people I didn’t know but as soon as I visited Busy Bees Formby, I felt immediately at ease. The team were so welcoming and welcoming which has continued over the 9 years that my kids have been there. Thank you so much, Busy Bees, keep up the excellent work. I have put all my three kids through Busy Bees.

    Thank you for all the wiped tears, bottoms and all the smiles. Thank you for nurturing my son and showing him what he can do. There’s no bigger gift than the gift of believing in yourself. You have given my son some of his best childhood memories. We are forever grateful to Busy Bees Formby for their childcare services. Thank you to all the Busy Bees Formby Day Childcare centre team for going above and beyond to care for my son.

    She gets so excited when we pull up outside. The smile on her face is incredible to see. All team are highly welcoming, cheerful and show a attentive nature towards her. We sense highly comfortable leaving her in the care of the team knowing she is looked after so well. Our daughter also enjoys the food given to her that is prepared on site by the cook. It’s consistently a healthy and varied diet. Our daughter loves attending childcare centre.

    His language and general development accelerated when he started at Busy Bees at 11 months. He enjoys going to childcare centre, has made lots of friends, and most days returns with some creative art work. The outside playtime spaces are excellent, as are the age-appropriate resources in the different rooms. I get frequent updates, including pictures, about what he has been up to, which helps alleviate the mum guilt of working and not being with your kid full time. They have prepared him truly well for school. He has a serious food allergy which has been accommodated for highly well – the menu is truly impressive. Team are inviting and welcoming, I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre. My second kid is about to start, and I am confident they will thrive as my son has. Keep up the great work team! I have been exceptionally impressed with the high standard of care provided to my son over the last few years.

    I have increased the number of days my kid attends as he has developed so much with the assistance of the team, in both his self‑assurance and education.
    The office team are consistently cheerful to help, and as a kid with food allergies, the chef has consistently made sure he has suitable meals which he enjoys. My kid has been attending Busy Bees Formby since he was a year old, he loves his days and comes home with a smile on his face and stories to tell.

    She has had the most tremendous journey there and I have felt so cheerful leaving her in their capable and loving hands. She has made so many lovely friends and forged outstanding relationships with all the team she has come into contact with. When you send your kid here, they receive a totally individualised approach. Every kid is valued and time is taken to ensure that they are cheerful. I am so sad that my daughter has had to leave and I felt compelled to share my remarkable journey with those considering sending their kid to Busy Bees. I suggest it unreservedly. The team go above and beyond. Each kid is celebrated and cared for. All their special occasions are recognised and marked. My daughter has developed so much and her time there has set her in great stead for the future. My daughter attended Busy Bees in Formby for 14 months and has just left due to the fact that we have relocated.

    My little girl has been going since January 2019 having moved from another childcare centre as we’d moved house. I was so nervous about moving her into a new setting after moving house and bringing home twin baby brothers (Oct’18). But wow, did this childcare centre put me at ease.
    She asks to go to childcare centre, she talks about her friends (names the childcare centre nurses – which I adore!) she also named her baby dollies after two of the childcare centre nurses which just shows how much of a bond with them. The team are so informative and are so supportive to me when coming in with the babies for drop off and pick up. I wish we could afford for her to go more as she has progressed so much at Busy Bees! Thank you to all the team at Busy Bees Formby. You’re doing an incredible job! Also, the childcare centre is so spotless and how they keep on top of keeping all the kids spotless is beyond me. We absolutely adore this childcare centre.

    My daughter has developed so much being at Busy Bees and I can’t wait to see what the childcare centre have in store for her when she leaves the baby room behind!

    The rooms are bright and colourful, the food is excellent and I know my daughter is in the best hands while I am at work! My daughter started when she was 8 months old and has had incredible care, the team become friends and nothing is too much trouble.

    My daughter attends 2 days a week and absolutely loves it. The team are all so lovely and made the tradition so easy for myself and my daughter. The meals all sound delicious and they were cheerful to accommodate for my preference of no meat. All the team are doing an incredible job coping with the pandemic and running a childcare centre so well. I would highly suggest Busy Bees in Formby to anyone needing childcare. This is a fabulous childcare centre.

    The whole journey has been so positive and enjoyable. Putting our first kid into childcare centre was something we dreaded, however, the whole team have made the transition so easy for us. The care our kid receives is excellent. The keyworker keeps us informed of everything. We visited lots of nurseries, but as soon as we visited Busy Bees, we knew instantly it was the one. The team are exceptional and i can’t thank them enough. Everyone from the office team to the keyworkers are remarkable. I can’t suggest Busy Bees, Formby, enough. Absolutely faultless.
