Busy Bees Oxford Ladygrove

He liked Ladygrove childcare centre straight away and wasn’t cheerful with the other childcare centre until we took him out and sent him for more days at Ladygrove childcare centre. He enjoys coming here to playtime with his friends and the welcoming team, he is consistently occupied with different activities when we come to pick him up. Food and snacks are remarkable and well balanced. Most recently the key person took time to go through his discovering journal with me and I was impressed with the structure they have put in place to assistance the discovering and make sure kids’s development is evaluated and recorded regularly. I was impressed by the level of professionalism and observation that the key person has had on my little boy considering they have a number of kids to look after. The management team is easily accessible and supportive for any questions and feedback. When my little boy started at Ladygrove childcare centre, he had been in a different childcare centre for a year and never complained about it.

The team are fantastic and my boy considers them as much his friends as he does with the kids in his room.
Last night we had a highly proud parent moment where he (roughly) wrote his own name with a crayon! His vocabulary and motor skills have just exploded this year since moving up to the preschool room and we can truly see how much he loves it there.
Just can’t believe this will be his final year at childcare centre – it will be a sad day for all of us when he has to leave and go to ‘big school’. My boy has been coming here since his 1st birthday and today is celebrating his 4th birthday with his buddies at Busy Bees!

The fact that he wants to attend childcare centre at the weekend too tells me how much he loves it there. The team is remarkable! Compassionate, attentive, supportive, accommodating and highly encouraging. My son has been exceptionally fond of the keyworkers he has had over the year or so. We cannot thank you all enough!

The weekly food menu is carefully designed to provide a healthy, nutritious balanced diet. The recent change in management has made it even better. We look forward to his next milestone, the exciting preschool phase at the childcare centre. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Our little boy started attending the day childcare centre since he was 11 months and has been enjoying each and every day spent there.

They show genuine care and adore for the kids they look after and assistance their discovering through phonics and basic maths in the pre-school classes so that they are highly well-prepared for school. My daughter enjoys arts & crafts, dancing, dressing up, story time and baking, as well as outdoor playtime. The office team are welcoming and supportive.

Although there was a period of team changes a couple of years ago, this seems to have settled down and it’s lovely that my youngest is excited to see both the team and the many friends she has made there. Busy Bees have been working on improving facilities, my only suggestion is that aircon or ceiling fans would be supportive during the summer when the team do their best to keep the kids cool with water playtime and indoor activities. Both my daughters have been to Ladygrove Childcare centre over the past 7 years and we have been highly cheerful with the team.

It is clear that they’ve got to know our kids well- we can tell this from their discovering journals as well as their feedback upon pick up. Their updates and follow up had been outstanding- when I was unsure if my eldest son was settled, they took photos and showed me them that highly same day, where I could clearly see him happily playing. They worked hard to ensure I was satisfied that he was enjoying himself. My son has been reluctant to join toddler groups, yet absolutely loves going to the childcare centre. When I pick him up, he often dances over to me with a big smile and babbles a lot- a sure sign that he’s content. Thank you to the team for making this transition so smooth and easy! Our 2 kids (both under 2) joined the childcare centre this September and we have been truly pleased with how they’ve settled in and how lovely all of the team are.

The team are consistently highly welcoming and consistently have a big smile on their faces when he comes in in the morning. We consistently have incredible feedback about his day and he is consistently cheerful to go. The team consistently go the extra mile to make sure the kids are cared for and make sure they get as much out of their day as they can. My little boy loves the garden and they have a excellent garden facility and he loves going out their on the cars. Absolutely incredible childcare centre. My son has attended the childcare centre since November 2020 and he absolutely loves going in on his days.

They consistently listen with care when provided with information about the kid’s welfare for the day. At the end of the day feedback is consistently provided and detailed including what they have been playing with, eaten, sleep times, nappy changes (if appropriate) and if they have been cheerful and settled. My kids are consistently playing and occupied at pick up time with a variety of toys. They have consistently enjoyed their day and chat about it on the way home. The kids build up a great relationship with the team and even team in different rooms generally know them by name and will consistently excellent them. Childcare centre manager is normally available and is highly supportive. The team are consistently welcoming and welcoming to the kids when they arrive in the morning.

My son looks forward to going in and comes out excited and eager to share his day. I have no doubts that he is highly well cared for and the activities he does there enriches his life. My son currently attends Oxford Ladygrove and he loves it, as did my daughter who attended for 2 years.
