February 8, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 20 months old son goes to Busy Bees Nursery at Maidstone Hospital since September. He has settled really well and is always happy in the mornings when he goes to Nursery. Staff are always friendly and caring. The nursery is clean with lots of activities to keep children occupied. Also, homemade food is brilliant with a variety of choice. We are lucky to get a space there and be part of the Busy Bees Nursery family!

February 8, 2021 at 12:00 amBrilliant, both my children go to Busy Bees Maidstone Hospital, the staff make it so comfortable and easy. They keep us informed of what’s going with the app and upload images and progress reports. Both my children love going to nursery they have a good relationship with their key worker and other nursery staff. Brilliant could not fault.

February 8, 2021 at 12:00 amI have two children currently attending Busy Bees, one in foundation class and one in under twos. My kids joined Jan 2020, with my oldest moving from another nursery and my youngest being almost 8 months. The transition period was hard for my oldest but the team at Busy Bees were so supportive, kept me completely up to date with her progress and supported both me and her the whole way through. My youngest has an amazing connection with the staff and the bond between him and his key worker is wonderful. Again, constant updated and support. I would highly recommend Busy Bees. The only thing that my kids struggle with is the menu, on some occasions, my kids have refused to eat what is served and the only alternative offered is bread and butter. I fully support trying to encourage healthier meals but I know for a fact my kids will at least try the meals and refuse.

February 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been here for almost 2 years. I am beyond glad I chose this nursery. The staff are so welcoming, and my son absolutely loves coming here. The range of food cooked for the children is fantastic. He learns so much every time he goes. We have had no issues even throughout the whole pandemic. They have worked so hard to make sure that every child and their staff are looked after in a safe environment. I would 100% recommend.

February 26, 2021 at 12:00 amI highly recommend this nursery and pre-school to parents with young children. My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 8 months. She is now 3. She absolutely loves going to the nursery and is excited each morning when getting ready. She even asks over the weekend whether she can attend. Her development has been great. The staff are friendly and they work with parents to ensure that the needs of children are met and that milestones are achieved. My daughter has made really good friends at the nursery. We will really miss Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital when she leaves for Reception.

March 3, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Busybees since August 2020 at 12 months. The staff were very
supportive as he adjusted to nursery life. He has since shown so much confidence and loves his time there. Highly recommended!

March 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son started three months ago and I highly recommend the nursery. I wish I had started him sooner. I am so impressed with all the staff, the facilities and my son has made a huge improvement in such a short time. Thank you everyone at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital, you’re all amazing and you all do an amazing job.

March 21, 2021 at 12:00 amIt is always scary leaving your baby at the nursery for the first time but thanks to the great staff at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital our boy just loves it there. After viewing multiple nurseries in the area, we are happy with our choice and always feel our boy will be safe and well looked after at the nursery. He loves the food and there seem to be enough activities to keep him busy during the day. We would definitely recommend Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital.

April 9, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is the first time that we put our daughter into nursery. We go by parents review and we decided to join our daughter in Busy Bees. (Just a suggestion there should be a proper explanation of things of what needs to be done prior the start of the child) this is the only thing that I can complain. Overall Maidstone Busy Bees is excellent on their care, teaching, my daughter is always excited to come to her school. The staff always did excellent job. Well done to them. Thank you all for the hard work. We really appreciate everything.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amMy eldest son who is now 9 previously attended busy bees at Maidstone hospital from 7 months old, so when it came to my youngest it was a no brainier where he would be going. The staff there have provided our family with not only impeccable childcare over the years but such a warm and friendly environment. My youngest will be leaving to start big school soon and although we will be sad to go, we will be taking lovely memories. Thank you so much to all the staff and could not recommend more highly!

July 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son was non-verbal when he joined Busy Bees a year ago. Now he is so confident, chatty and comfortable with any situation. He is always happy to go into nursery and we always love to hear and see what he has been up to on the app. He is always doing something crafty, reading or singing and dancing or in the garden, which he really enjoys. I’m very glad I chose Busy Bees.

August 10, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have been attending Busy bees for the last 7 years and both our girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. They both have developed friendships, created beautiful artwork, had a lot of fun in the lovely garden. The teachers are amazing and ever so lovely. The nursery is very well run by the manager. Both girls were looking forward to going every morning and had plenty to tell us in the afternoon. I would recommend Busy bees at Maidstone Hospital to any parents looking for the very best place for their child.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been going to Busy Bees Maidstone Hospital for 5 months, she has settled in well and her keyworker and room leader are wonderful, as well as the other staff in their room. They always keep us well informed and show us what she is up to throughout the day using the app. We are happy with her progress and pleased she is exploring foods she wouldn’t normally eat at home. The environment is welcoming with a lovely garden and every staff member we have met has been very polite and welcoming.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attends Busy Bees Pre-School. His confidence has improved immensely since attending the nursery, especially in pre-school. He has a close relationship with his key worker, she supports him with tasks on a daily basis. He completes lots of fun activities and loves running around the playground with friends. We have found his language and emotional intelligence has definitely improved.
The only thing we have found since he has gone up to pre-school is there are more children and on occasion, things have been missed. We also don’t get quite as much of a handover at the end of the day as when he was younger and in a smaller class. However, it is good for his independence and preparation for school.

June 11, 2023 at 12:00 amThe nursery has come on so much in the past year and a half it’s gone from a nursery I was prepared to take my son out of, to one I’m now sending my daughter to when I go back to work. My son gets upset every time I drop him off but the staff always make sure he is comforted and happy and within 5 minutes he is playing happily with his friends. The staff are amazing and make the setting what it is with staff members staying long-term in the setting. They update the app with photos and I can see all the things my son is playing with. He always comes out with a full belly and a smile on his face ready to tell me all about his day. A special mention to his current key worker who always goes above and beyond and you can tell she really loves her job which is lovely when you are leaving the most precious thing to you in the care of somebody else. My only flaw of the nursery is that they still have pre covid rules regarding pick up and drop off which need updating.

July 18, 2023 at 12:00 amI love Busy Bees for my little girl, she has thrived so much and come on in leaps and bounds. The staff in her room (rabbits) are always reassuring to myself and my little girl when and if needed. My little one is always happy when coming into nursery and is always happy when I collect her. My little one has a good bond with all her staff in the room. I am very happy with her care and would recommend Busy Bees to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you Busy Bees, so much.
