Busy Bees Chineham Basingstoke

We visited a few nurseries before settling on Busy Bees in Chineham and the deciding factor for us was the centre manager. The centre manager there is absolutely incredible, attentive, dedicated and extremely hardworking. Since being there we have had the opportunity to get to know a lot of the team members and they all seem to have the same philosophy. He has learnt so much there and I sense he is given everything he needs from the team, from compassion, education, enjoyable, etc. It’s been so lovely watching my son grow and learn from the very lovely and dedicated team there.
The childcare centre building itself probably needs a bit of TLC as it is looking a bit tired and could probably do with some air-con units especially for the sweltering summer months we’ve had over the last couple of years but besides that, my husband and I cannot be happier that our son is at Busy Bees in Chineham. My son has been attending Busy Bees in Chineham since he was 6 months old (he is 2 in July).

My son loves it a lot. There are a lot of different toys and playtime areas, a large garden with mud, sand and everything your kid may want. The food is great and fresh. The team are attentive and attentive. It is the best childcare centre in the area from our journey. The Busy Bees Childcare centre is incredible.

Their development soared under their care and they left and still leave every day with a smile wanting to go back the next day. The team are all outstanding, informative, welcoming and attentive. There isn’t as much IT update options compared to other nurseries but there is enough to get a sense for how your kid is doing which we are cheerful with. Highly recommended. Our youngest is in preschool now and Busy Bees Chineham has been incredible for both of our girls.

Their discovering journey has been clearly marked and they share all their experiences with us at home. The team are welcoming and inviting and we couldn’t have wished for more. My kid has been at Busy Bees for 3 years and our journey has consistently been remarkable.

Excellent food options. However, very little contact with parents regarding updates on kid’s development. No events for parents to attend. The app is very rarely updated with educational development and reviews. The preschool is spotless with welcoming teaching team.

She is now 3.5 years and enjoys coming. All the team are lovely and work hard to provide a excellent discovering setting for the kids. My daughter has attended this childcare centre since she was 14 months old.

We instantly felt settled and I know he loves going on a childcare centre day.
The baby room team.. couldn’t ask for better. So attentive and consistently delight in the little updates at pick up. He has developed a excellent bond with them all. Everyone has been excellent at accommodating his allergies too. We couldn’t ask for a better place for him and look forward to many more memories through the years!
Thank you. Our little boy has only been at Busy Bees Chineham since January and it’s like he has been there for ages.

Continuously surprised with how personable, adaptive, attentive and creative this childcare centre is. Such as; updates with additional settings/carers, monthly calendar to fill so kids can talk about what they’ve been doing. Each day, my daughter is greeted with open arms, she is looked after and accommodated, she is discovering to grow, developing friendships and terrific skills that she brings home. Her regular daily routine is nourished; meals, playtime (indoor and outdoor) and napping. She is given a lot of encouragement and assistance in any hurdles; picky eating, toilet training etc. Each day I collect her, I receive a one on one run through of her day, which is priceless. The setting is a excellent size, with multiple areas, built for purpose (on-site kitchen and chef, small toilets and sinks), has a range of toys and activities both indoors and out and all of the team are just fantastic, a inviting motherly and attentive atmosphere. Safeguarding is very high here. Absolutely fantastic childcare centre.

My eldest attended pre-school there so it was our first choice of childcare centre when our youngest arrived. I had to make an early return to work so at three and a half months old our youngest joined. She absolutely loved being there and the team made me sense that she was secure whilst I was at work. The ladies were also remarkable through lockdown and kept our daughter secure.
Thank you. All the team at Chineham Busy Bees are incredible.

She has been in all three rooms where they have taken time to understand her character, strengths and development points. The team are welcoming and consistently cheerful to answer questions and they give excellent feedback on a daily basis. I have been particularly impressed with the activities put in place for school starters. We have had a fantastic journey here where my kid has been cared for and loves to attend.
