October 6, 2024 at 9:39 amAll 3 kids adore/have loved attending Busikids and have benefited from the range of activities, meals and interactions greatly. I think they have all formed excellent bonds with different members of staffs and have made lovely friends.
Apart from returning to work, one of the reasons I wanted my kids to go to a childcare centre was to make sure they had lots of different experiences and opportunities such as crafts I didn’t want to do in my home (paint!) and food I may never have cooked. This was definitely the case in the journey my three have had.
Throughout the pandemic, the advice and updates have been exceptional and my kids have not been upset at all by the distancing measures that have been put in place. I have one kid in the under two group and one in the pre-school and my eldest kid went through the various stages as well.

October 21, 2024 at 4:02 pmDuring lockdown we received information often, which allowed us to be kept in the loop on their development. They are very accomodating if we have to change hours for our little one. My daughter loves going to childcare centre. She consistently smiles and comes home with lots of craft. The outside area is excellent for all the kids with plenty to do. I would suggest Busikids to my friends. Childcare centre team are very welcoming and consistently available for any request.

December 6, 2024 at 3:06 amMy boys have attended three days a week since they were 10 months old and have so far been in three of the different rooms, Ducklings, Penguins and Monkeys. Each room has been remarkable at meeting the needs of their particular age group. The activities are consistently so varied and engaging and the team in each room are so attentive, dedicated and well‑informed.
They are excellent at communicating and keeping parents up to date throughout the day as well as newsletters and emails regularly and updates on their Facebook page.
In addition to the daytime care, they also put on a remarkable Summer picnic and Christmas Fair which helps all the parents connect.
It’s a remarkable place for anyone with under 5s. From the first contact with the childcare centre when we enquired, to our visit to view the facilities and then the boys settling in sessions every single team member has made us sense welcome and made me sense my boys are being left in secure and loving hands.

January 11, 2025 at 6:58 pmEverything has been exceptional, I cannot suggest them enough. The team go above and beyond to assistance them to develop, they are so enthusiastic when playing, and to help my anxiety – their updates with us has been incredible. He’s been eating and sleeping better at childcare centre than at home, I can see him develop and thrive, he’s learnt so many new games and songs and he is so excited to go to childcare centre every day. We get daily reports of how he’s been and even ideas or tips on what activities to do at home. What more can you ask for? Our little boy started at Busikids Day Childcare centre just under a year ago.

February 22, 2025 at 2:04 pmShe has been at the childcare centre since she was 10 months old and will be leaving at the end of August to go to school. It has been exceptional for her, and she loves her time there. Activities are varied, and she consistently has lots of enjoyable. The childcare centre team are very attentive, and also very adaptable to parents’ requests e.g. I’m fussy with what food she eats, so they would consistently listen to, and follow, our requests. Our 2nd daughter will be joining the childcare centre when she is 10 months old too. Would highly suggest. Busikids has been excellent for our first daughter.

March 8, 2025 at 1:11 pmShe looks forward to going to school every week. Team are welcoming all the time. She has also been enjoying their lovely food at snack time and at lunch. She will really miss Busikids! My daughter has enjoyed being at Busikids so much.

March 15, 2025 at 12:35 amThey have all been compassionate, attentive and supportive throughout their whole journey. They are consistently very easy to communicate with and sense like they really make the effort to get to know your kid. The facilities are consistently spotless and they have a lot of space inside along with an amazingly large garden for the kids to explore. I will be sad for my little one to finish in a few weeks time, but I know it has really helped him to be confident and ready to start school. Both my boys have gone through Busikids, from 9 months right up to 4 years old.

March 25, 2025 at 4:11 pmShortly after he started, we had the disruption from COVID – the team were really clear on what was happening, and kept us in the loop when it came to re-opening.
We get daily detailed of his naps/food/nappies, which helps with peace of mind and knowing that he has structure to his day. Busikids have been excellent with our little man, he settled in really quickly in is first few weeks and doesn’t seem phased when we drop him off in the mornings.

March 30, 2025 at 3:20 pmI wouldn’t entrust anyone else with them. There is so much care from all the team and my kids are extremely cheerful whenever they attend. Whenever any issues have arisen, they have been dealt with swiftly and with compassion. It is the best childcare centre-preschool around! After looking around many childcare providers, I came across Busikids and immediately knew my kid, now kids, would be cheerful here.
Fallon Randall
April 4, 2025 at 10:19 amA lot of attention is focused on discovering, but also having enjoyable at the same time.
Busikids use an app which updates frequently so that I am able to see every meal he eats and every nappy change he has.
All members of team are extremely supportive and have made sure to go the extra mile to make both myself and son sense welcome, and have dealt with everything brilliantly in these uncertain times.
My son loves attending Busikids, has made lots of friends (including the members of team!) and without a doubt, my second son will also attend this childcare centre, I won’t consider anywhere else! Busikids is a remarkable childcare centre which has undoubtedly helped my son develop both physically and mentally.

April 13, 2025 at 6:00 amMy son has struggled in certain areas and in self‑assurance. Busikids have brought him out of his shell. They work together with the parents to get the most out of the kids whilst having lots of enjoyable. The team are inviting and attentive. The childcare centre itself is lovely, my son’s favourite bit is the large garden, lots of toys to suit all. All the team are remarkable.
Carter Turner
May 1, 2025 at 7:22 pmMy son’s speech and self‑assurance have grown a massive amount since being in the Penguin room. They learn something new every day and consistently adore when they do all the different activities and games outside. I am very grateful for all the team for looking after my kids. This childcare centre also has excellent facilities and we delight in going along to the summer BBQ they hold and the Christmas Party they do every year. This is a remarkable childcare centre both my daughter and son have been attending since they were a year old.

May 16, 2025 at 9:20 pmI was messed around with a baby sitter before they came to my rescue.
The team have consistently cared for my kid and she’s consistently cheerful when she’s is collected. The updates I get every time she attends gives me excellent happiness especially to see the varied activities she takes parts in.
All the team and management are really approachable and well‑informed about their roles and they treat every kid as an individual when nurturing their little personalities.
I have and will continue to suggest this childcare centre to anyone that is looking for one. My kid started at this childcare centre when she was 9 months old, it was the best decision I have made to send her here.
Riley Quinn
May 23, 2025 at 9:08 pmThey both adore going three times a week. Busikids have two fantastic outside spaces with two huge lawns and a second patio area which is used in every weather. The team at the childcare centre are so attentive, compassionate and welcoming. The kids have delicious home-cooked food daily and they cater very well for dietary requirements. I’m so pleased my kids go to Busikids – I couldn’t rate it enough! My 4-year-old and a 1-year-old both attend Busikids.

June 20, 2025 at 2:20 amI could not fault the childcare centre, the team are incredible and seem to truly care about the kids and all their achievements. Due to the closure (COVID) the childcare centre sent lots of activities to do and videos of the team and reading book which was excellent to keep them going. When it re-opened they sent video tours of the new bubbles which was really supportive to prepare my 4-year-old. They have been incredible at keeping us updated and making a smooth transition back into the childcare centre. The kids absolutely adore going and often don’t want to come home! I have two kids who go to Busikids, one is 4 1/2 and one is nearly 18 months old, both have been going since they were 9 months.
Jamie Holland
June 26, 2025 at 10:37 pmHowever recently lack of consistent team has made settling hard for our kid. They take a big interest in her welfare and her discovering journey. Overall we have found the childcare centre to be very great.

July 5, 2025 at 1:26 amFor all those years, both my husband and I have been delighted with the care provided for our kids. Updates has been outstanding, team have been extremely approachable and I get very detailed accounts about what my kids have been up to during their day. I couldn’t really ask for more. The facilities are outstanding, especially the garden area, and I sense Busikids are consistently looking at ways to maintain their high standards and improve themselves. I sense that our kids have not been merely ‘looked after’ so we can work, every day they are given incredible discovering opportunities and experiences that nurture their curiosity and development. I sense fortunate as a family that we found Busikids. My son attended Busikids from 2016-2019, and now our daughter attends and has done since 2020.
