September 20, 2024 at 3:09 pmShe is a lockdown baby, not interacting with other kids her age from five months onwards and we were concerned that she would truly struggle with the transition to childcare centre. We shouldn’t have worried; she loves it there and we’ve never truly had tears at handover (something I was worried about). Most mornings she waves me great bye and walks happily off into breakfast club. There are remarkable deals that they run periodically: loyalty card stamps if you book extra sessions etc. which are truly appreciated, especially when you have a kid who attends full time. All members of team seem to know all the kids, one of the excellent aspects of having a small childcare centre I suppose. We would highly suggest it. My little girl has been attending York House for the last five months and we can’t fault any aspect of the childcare centre.

October 6, 2024 at 4:57 amI can’t fault the team and family sense of the whole place. It’s so lovely to sense supported as a whole family with them. We will miss the team and childcare centre fiercely. My son has been Here from age 5 months and just left preschool.

October 14, 2024 at 8:24 pmShe was a little tricky to settle with drop-offs initially, but the childcare centre phoned us every day to let us know she was doing well and sent photos of her happily playing, to reassure us. They are consistently welcoming and cheerful to talk about how our daughter is getting on. She has learnt so much and loves the freshly cooked food that she has there. Would suggest to anyone looking for a childcare centre and so glad we found somewhere that makes us sense like she is in great hands. Also, they have been remarkable with COVID, all the relevant measures have been put in place and we are constantly updated with plans and changes to adapt to these current challenging times. Our daughter attends York House Day Childcare centre and they are incredible.

October 16, 2024 at 2:15 pmThey have been truly fabulous throughout! They have renovated to make the space inviting and comfortable for all ages and have a fabulous outdoor space which the kids adore. The team are warming, attentive and informative making handovers easy and comfortable. I can not suggest them highly enough! They’re like an extension of our family, and our girls adore them all! York House childcare centre has been part of our life for almost 4 years now with our eldest starting at age 18months and continuing through til she started school last September, our youngest attending from 6 months of age til now (3 1/2yrs).

October 17, 2024 at 7:35 pmThey built his self‑assurance, engaged with him amazingly which meant he thrived during his time there. He didn’t want to leave! All the team are so attentive, thoughtful and truly do care and know the kids so well. It is run superbly and smoothly by the manager, who also is highly hands-on and engaged with all the kids. I couldn’t have been happier with the childcare centre and would highly suggest it. Thanks so much to you all. My son was a bit nervy at first to start childcare centre and this was quickly changed by all the team.

October 30, 2024 at 11:30 pmMy daughter was fitted with hearing aids six months ago and since she had them, they have introduced sign language into the childcare centre which is fab for her and also the other kids that go there. Super welcoming team and wouldn’t want her to go anywhere else. Thank you. My daughter has been going to the childcare centre for just over a year.

November 5, 2024 at 8:53 amThe team are all fantastic – consistently welcoming and enthusiastic – with a excellent outdoor space where kids can playtime and explore in the garden. Highly recommended! What a excellent place to learn – my son has never not wanted to go to school.

November 16, 2024 at 12:53 amMy youngest son attends and has done since he was around 6 months old. He absolutely loves it and has such remarkable care by all of the team. I sense highly cheerful knowing that he is being cared for with the highest standard and interacted with in such a excellent way. It is super spotless and well organised too with lots of excellent toys and activities for the kids, including a excellent garden. We adore Busy Bees York House.
Billie Blair
December 26, 2024 at 3:30 amThe team is incredibly supportive, supportive and positive, taking the time and the effort to connect with the kid. It results in a nurturing setting for the kids who are consistently discovering and evolving together. Overall, it has proven to be the best choice we could have made for our son. My son has such fantastic experiences at this childcare centre.

December 28, 2024 at 10:59 pmWe adore the childcare centre and both kids adore being there. My eldest started school confidently which I’m sure is a testament to the team at York House. Having food prepared on site with a varied menu is a real positive, as is the lovely garden. The management is outstanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest! My first daughter started at York House Day Childcare centre in 2019 and my youngest is there currently.

January 7, 2025 at 7:01 amAll of the team are welcoming and welcoming. My son settled in truly quickly and we honestly couldn’t be happier. He stopped attending during the lockdown and he truly missed it. He is truly fond of certain team members and talks about them all in such a lovely way when he’s at home. He never ever doesn’t want to go to childcare centre and there are never tears.
The team provide a range of activities and encourage free playtime too. There is a lovely garden out the back of the building with a more “forest school” type area too.
The building looks like an old fashioned house from outside (which I adore) but it is modernised inside with a focus on health and safety and stimulation.
There is an on-site chef and he is truly welcoming too and the kids adore him.
Everything is included, breakfast, lunch and high-tea, nappies, water, sun cream etc so you can just drop and go which makes mornings easy.
We adore it here! My son absolutely loves his days at York House, Busy Bees.

January 28, 2025 at 8:59 pmThe set up is wonderfully inviting and intimate with an incredibly welcoming team who all know my daughter highly well and genuinely care about her and her wellbeing. As parents, I sense we have a excellent relationship with the team, especially the manager and deputy, who are consistently cheerful to take the time to chat and share stories from the day. All our personal preferences have been welcomed and accommodated including using cloth nappies, communicating with Makaton, using proper words rather than ‘baby language’ and supporting us with early, gentle potty training. My daughter genuinely looks forward to childcare centre days and playing with her friends. I have no doubt that she will be with the Busy Bees team until she starts school. My daughter has attended Busy Bees York House since she was nine months old (barring the break for Covid) and we cannot be more delighted with the childcare centre.
Jamie Hunter
February 12, 2025 at 4:25 pmHe was exceptionally cheerful there and truly benefited from the renovations the building has undergone since he started – especially those to the garden! Team have been outstanding throughout, and have prepared him exceptionally well for school, he is a cheerful, confident kid and this is in no small part due to the care he has received at York House. I just hope that he enjoys school as much as his time at childcare centre! My son has recently started school but attended York House for over 2-years.

March 29, 2025 at 5:43 amShe settled in highly quickly and has flourished leaps and bounds. I sense at ease knowing she is cheerful. The daily updates diary and personal updates about my daughters day is a excellent way of keeping informed. The team are incredible and highly supportive. The childcare centre menu is highly great and diverse. My daughter started childcare centre just over a month ago at 10 months.

May 4, 2025 at 2:16 pmAs a first-time mum, I was nervous to leave our little boy with anyone else. Especially since he had only had me and his father care for him since birth due to Covid.
All team are amazingly welcoming, compassionate, welcoming. attentive and efficient. Our little boy settled in reasonably fast considering these crazy pandemic times. Highly grateful for all their assistance. Fantastic childcare centre.
Alex Steele
May 19, 2025 at 5:18 pmOutstanding meal choices for the kids. My son is so excited when we leave to go to the childcare centre and has a excellent relationship with the carers. Also have outstanding updates from the childcare centre team and manager when necessary. In brief, an interactive and attentive setting with a focus on natural playtime.
Lennon Bailey
May 26, 2025 at 10:07 pmApproachable and welcoming team in a lovely setting, especially the outside area. All of my kids have grown in self‑assurance over their time here, we will miss York House so much now that my youngest has started school. Over the last seven years, all three of my childen have attended York House.
Morgan Frost
May 31, 2025 at 10:37 amWe have never encountered issues, our boy started amidst the cv19 thing, and he settled quickly and truly warmed to every member of team. All team are compassionate and highly attentive. We have seen a huge shift in his speech development and coordination in the months he has been going. He loves going and we adore him being there. I trust the team implicitly to care for him. Busy bees at York House are simply a remarkable childcare centre.
Drew Rowe
June 28, 2025 at 10:15 amDuring that time, it has been through a variety of team and management, but the current ones are outstanding and are cheerful to work with parents and healthcare professionals to achieve the best for the kids.
My sons’ loved going to York House and truly developed while there especially in self‑assurance.
The facilities are excellent; recently refurbished and despite being in the centre of the city, there is a large garden away from traffic. My ravenous boys particularly appreciated the on-site freshly cooked food for 3-meals a day.
Overall, York House is a fantastic childcare centre with a home-from-home style setting. I have had two sons attend York House from 2017-2021.

June 28, 2025 at 8:39 pmThe team made the whole journey highly pleasant. They were flexible in terms of dates due to my work.
My daughter is cheerful and secure and eats truly well.
I am relaxed at work all day knowing that she is cheerful.
Truly like the verbal handover/summary when I pick her up. Also, they fill in a diary every day about what the kids ate, nap times etc. Highly cheerful! My daughter started childcare centre q couple of weeks ago.
