Busy Bees Rainham

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 amazing and can’t fault her at all. She makes my daughter feel safe and happy to go to nursery.

Lovely nursery, my daughter loves it. It’s clean and the nursery staff are lovely. Facilities and space are very good.

My 2-year-old started at Meredale in March for 2 days a week. The staff 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 always really informative about what he’s been up to and every time I pick him up, he’s happy and telling me what he’s been doing. It’s a lovely nursery in a lovely setting with great staff.

Since my son joined the nursery when he was 10 months old, he has come on so much with his development physically and socially. At 13 months, he is walking confidently and trying to learn new words and skills.

He loves going each day and has developed great relationships with the staff. I see this by how happy he is each morning.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was seven months old. He’s now three and preparing for school and I can’t thank this nursery 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 recommend taking your child here. The staff are amazing and great with all the children. Ten out of ten from me.

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.
Her key worker and all staff that she interacts with are brilliant 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 happy when she is at nursery.
Her learning journal is always 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 Son has really struggled with separation anxiety and so we knew that two mornings a week in a professional setting would help him adjust and learn that ‘mummy always comes back’, as well as some much-needed respite for me!
The staff 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 safe, have fun and learn to socialise. He hardly cries now and is gaining confidence weekly.
He has made friendships with both staff and other children and I’m very pleased that we made the decision to send him here.
The staff are kind and seem to enjoy their jobs. The toys are vast in number and the building very secure. The little thoughtful gifts they make with the children are beautiful-for Mother’s Day we each got our child’s fingerprint in a heart key ring.

My child has only recently started attending this nursery and so far I have no complaints. He is happy to attend and comes home excited about his day.

I am very happy with the level of care that my child receives. He really enjoys his time at nursery and gets a lot out of attending. Staff were very helpful and caring when he wasn’t feeling well and had a period of uncertainty.

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. We 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 support with his eating/weaning has been the biggest help and I feel so much more confident. The menu is great, his development is shining and I cannot fault the team. Thank you so much.
