September 8, 2024 at 6:23 amI sense he has really gained in self‑assurance, and I am so pleased with the development he has made there. I am really cheerful with the care given at Meredale Childcare centre, my son has settled in really nicely and loves the childcare centre workers who are consistently supportive and considerate.

September 23, 2024 at 10:16 pmHe’s now three and preparing for school and I can’t thank this childcare centre enough for all that they have done for him and helped achieve. He is such a social and intelligent little boy and I will be sad when he leaves. I would highly suggest taking your kid here. The team are incredible and excellent with all the kids. Ten out of ten from me. My son has been going to this childcare centre since he was seven months old.

October 9, 2024 at 7:03 amBoth of my sons learn a lot every time when they are at the childcare centre. They like the toys and all the games, songs and activities because these consistently match their interests and ages.
As a parent, I can suggest this childcare centre because this is really the best start for the kids in their lives. A nice and welcoming setting with well-qualified team.

October 19, 2024 at 10:57 pmMy son started at 1 year old, the team were incredible at settling him in and discovering his routine and what he wanted very quickly. Incredible group activities they do with them and a large range of activities for them to do. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre. Outstanding childcare centre.

October 20, 2024 at 8:02 amShe attends Meredale five days per week, and I couldn’t sense any more reassured! The team are excellent, Key Worker is incredible and the facilities are great! All in all, we have a very cheerful two year old. My daughter has been attending Meredale since she was seven months old and is now almost two.

October 21, 2024 at 7:15 pmHe is cheerful to attend and comes home excited about his day. My kid has only recently started attending this childcare centre and so far I have no complaints.

November 9, 2024 at 11:42 amShe makes my daughter sense secure and cheerful to go to childcare centre. My youngest daughter comes to Meredale and couldn’t fault them at all, much better than when my eldest came here.
My daughter’s key worker is incredible and can’t fault her at all.

November 28, 2024 at 10:41 pmThe team were really supportive and helped us both through this transition. I hated having him torn off me every time I dropped him off but knew that I had chosen somewhere he would be secure, have enjoyable and learn to socialise. He hardly cries now and is gaining self‑assurance weekly.
He has made friendships with both team and other kids and I’m very pleased that we made the decision to send him here.
The team are compassionate and seem to delight in their jobs. The toys are vast in number and the building very secure. The little thoughtful gifts they make with the kids are lovely-for Mother’s Day we each got our kid’s fingerprint in a heart key ring. My Son has really struggled with separation anxiety and so we knew that two mornings a week in a expert setting would help him adjust and learn that ‘mummy consistently comes back’, as well as some much-needed respite for me!

January 2, 2025 at 3:56 pmWe instantly knew Busy Bees was the place for him.
We had a couple of settling in days where we went through what stages our son was at and I explained that I was worried about his eating/weaning and she said we’d work together to help. They did exactly that – the team there are incredible – the first day I was obviously a little apprehensive but he’s getting on so well and the assistance with his eating/weaning has been the biggest help and I sense so much more confident. The menu is excellent, his development is shining and I cannot fault the team. Thank you so much. My son enrolled at Busy Bees in Rainham in October 2020 – we viewed a couple of nurseries in the area but as soon as we stepped into Busy bees we were greeted by the manager, she immediately just gave us that home from home feeling, we went into the baby room and she sat down and started playing with our little boy, showing him toys etc.

January 30, 2025 at 5:10 pmI was a nervous parent, as my baby was young when she started. The team made me sense at ease and looks after her so well. I adore the different days they do and dress-up days with her! I’m really cheerful with Busy Bees as a whole. My kid started childcare centre this year.
Kai Griffin
February 17, 2025 at 12:36 amShe started here from the age of 2 right through to the end before starting big school and the whole journey has been nothing but positive. She progressed so much from being here and made a lot of close relationships with friends and team, in particular with two members of team which she formed very close bonds with.
I was consistently kept up to date with anything new happening and with regular emails on new information.
Thank you Busy Bees Rainham.. you’ve been incredible! My daughter absolutely loved coming to Busy Bees Rainham!

March 8, 2025 at 8:13 amThe team have been really supportive in helping him settle in, as he’s been getting upset having to leave me in the morning but whenever I call for an update they’re consistently really informative about what he’s been up to and every time I pick him up, he’s cheerful and telling me what he’s been doing. It’s a lovely childcare centre in a lovely setting with excellent team. My 2-year-old started at Meredale in March for 2 days a week.
Emerson Blair
March 12, 2025 at 8:12 amThe team are excellent and really look after and take an interest in the kids.
Would highly suggest. My son has been attending since August 2018, he absolutely loves it’s.

March 17, 2025 at 4:16 pmOnce my son starts school in September I am hoping to use Meredale for morning and after school club for both of my kids.
The team have consistently been very supportive and attentive of my needs and most importantly my kids’s needs. Both of my kids have used Meredale.

May 8, 2025 at 6:18 pmIt’s spotless and the childcare centre team are lovely. Facilities and space are very great. Lovely childcare centre, my daughter loves it.
Charlie Brooks
May 12, 2025 at 4:35 amHe really enjoys his time at childcare centre and gets a lot out of attending. Team were very supportive and attentive when he wasn’t feeling well and had a period of uncertainty. I am very cheerful with the level of care that my kid receives.
Carter Holland
May 24, 2025 at 4:45 pmI am kept informed of the number and length of naps, bottles consumed and introduction of new foods. They do not mind me calling to check if he is OK if I sense he is slightly under the weather. My baby settled quickly into the childcare centre due to the care and attention he receives from the team.
Elliot Knight
May 27, 2025 at 5:56 pmHer key worker and all team that she interacts with are exceptional and attentive to her development and growing personality.
They have cared for her during some rough periods (eczema and food intolerances) and have done more than we have asked for to make sure she is comfortable and cheerful when she is at childcare centre.
Her discovering journal is consistently up to date and documented with observations and pictures every month, it is reassuring to see the attention that is provided.
We are really satisfied with the service provided at Meredale and I have recommended it to my mum friends. My daughter has been going to Meredale for over a year, she was eight months old when she started in the Baby Room.
She’s now 19 months, a toddler and we have increased her attendance from three days a week to four.

June 5, 2025 at 1:10 amAt 13 months, he is walking confidently and trying to learn new words and skills.
He loves going each day and has developed excellent relationships with the team. I see this by how cheerful he is each morning. Since my son joined the childcare centre when he was 10 months old, he has come on so much with his development physically and socially.
Milan Drake
June 7, 2025 at 4:42 pmHe loves his days at childcare centre and particularly likes music days. The team are genuinely attentive and interested and have helped my son flourish in his time here. I particularly like that they have lots of outdoor time. He gets a healthy balanced diet and really couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. My son has been at Meredale Day Childcare centre for nearly a year now and it was the best decision we made.
