    All the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
    The nursery and its surrounded area is very safe. I’m always happy to leave my daughter there, she loves going and is always happy when leaving.
    I don’t think we have had any tears as of yet.

    My son has been attending first Little Inspirations and now Bumblebees since he was 5 months old (he is now 4 years) I have been so impressed with the care he has been given over the years. All staff are amazing with the children and I have full faith and trust them implicitly. My son has always been happy attending and I feel that the nursery has provided him with the best possible start to his care and education.

    My son has been attending Little Inspirations from 18 months old and then transferred to Bumble Bees after he turned 2 years old. He has loved every second at both nurseries and has been made to feel welcome from day one. The staff have been so helpful and reassuring with my questions and queries and have been so caring and kind towards him. Always welcoming him each day with a warm smile. They are professional and I have never had an issue with the nursery. He always left happy and excited to go back the following day. He’s now moving to big school a confident and social child and I believe it’s the nursery who helped make him that way! Thank you for all that you have done for him.

    This is my second time using this nursery as my eldest daughter also attended and loved her time here. I choose this nursery for the second time for a few reasons. I had full confidence in the security so I knew my second child would be just as safe as my first and with the pandemic, this was the reassurance I needed. The girls there really care about the little ones and you can see that in everything they do. The meals are healthy and wholesome. I love the fact that they send you pictures of your little one’s adventures throughout the week on the app. Especially now when we can’t go into the room to collect them. The app is very good it shows you what your little one is up to, for example how much they have eaten, etc and it is updated throughout the day. It is easy to use and allows for almost instant contact for questions (obviously you can ring for any pressing issues). I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of using them.

    My little boy has been with Little Inspirations since he was 11 months old. He is now almost 3, he loves going! They use a great app to keep you up to date, you can see what they’ve eaten, nappy changes, some pictures uploaded of them and ways to communicate with staff easily. He has great varied meals there which he loves and the staff have always been amazing. He gets to do lots of activities there too and loves playing in the garden. Would fully recommend this nursery to anyone!

    My little boy has been attending Bumble Bees since September 2020. Signing him up to a nursery during the pandemic was a worry for us, but after viewing the nursery we felt reassured that he would be safe. The nursery was exceptionally clean and staff are always friendly. We particularly enjoy using the Famly app to see what he’s eaten, pictures of his day, and to message staff members. Messages are always replied to promptly. Pick up and drop-offs always go smoothly and I feel safe with the nursery’s procedures for other people collecting my child when I am not able to. Meals and snacks are always well-balanced and nutritious. Overall a fantastic nursery which I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

    My daughter has been attending this nursery for flying start sessions and breakfast club since January. And despite the restrictions when starting she managed to settle here quickly without me present, thanks to the great staff here. The app is also great especially for communicating and getting updates on my daughter throughout her session and between sessions on any updates from the nursery. My older daughter attended here previously and she also had the best time always came home happy and the same has followed on with my youngest.

    I put my child in the nursery last year we were going through the pandemic so I could start a new job! Staff look after my son extremely well especially with my son being born 6 weeks early and few complications, also as a mother who was diagnosed with postnatal anxiety and PTSD after a traumatic birth the nursery staff have welcomed my son into nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds, my son is now just over 2 years old, his learning and speaking and have come on so good. I love the Family App on my phone so I know what he has eaten that day and what he getting up to, you might see some photos of your child playing which they put on the Family app, which is personal to you and private. I love this nursery so much I love taking my boy to nursery with a smile on his face knowing he is going to have a good time with all his friends and learning. Also when I pick him up he is so happy to see me and also sad that he is leaving his friends behind. Lovely nursery, the best one I’ve put him in.

    My little girl has been coming to the nursery since April. The staff are all lovely, they made her feel so at home and settled her in really well. The app is brilliant for sending messages to the nursery and for checking in on my daughter. I would highly recommend.

    This is a lovely nursery, my little girl always has a smile on her face every morning when greeted at the gate. She smiles at all the staff members and is clearly very happy being led inside. I was very impressed with the effort put in by the staff to get to know my little girl when she first started and this has clearly paid off. The app is a great tool that allows me to monitor what she’s eaten etc. and the nursery staff always make an effort to take photographs so I can see what she has been doing. My little girl always comes home with artwork/crafts which she is very proud of and happily displays at home. A lovely nursery that I would happily recommend.

    I cannot fault Little Inspirations Bumble Bees at all. The care they provide is exemplary. My child loves attending and I feel happy knowing he is well looked after. The activities are linked wonderfully to learning and development and I am kept updated on my child progress.

    My daughter has been attending Barry Bumble Bees since January 2022. As a parent, I was apprehensive about her starting something new but my goodness there really was no need to worry. I was so happy after I left the setting when registering. The manager was reassuring and answered all questions before me asking! 6 months later and my daughter’s come on leaps and bounds, always happy to walk into ‘school’ and talk about her day afterwards. The staff are great in all aspects eg communication, caring for my child and teaching her life skills. I really couldn’t recommend Barry Bumble Bees enough. I’m so happy that I plan to continue to have my daughter at the setting at the same time she starts bigger school either mornings or afternoons. My child is happy which makes me happy! Thank you everyone at Little Inspirations – Barry Bumble Bees!

    My son has been attending Barry (Bumble Bees) Little Inspirations since September 2020 and will be leaving in September 2022 to go to full-time school. His time there has been wonderful; he is always happy to go there, is greeted by staff very warmly and enjoys all the activities they do there. He became a fussy eater during his time there, but they dealt with it very professionally and caring and they adapted his meal plan accordingly which was very reassuring. The facilities are really great, especially the garden and outdoor classroom, my son loves playing outdoors and adored the new space. The app is also amazing; staff can send updates and pictures of your child and it details exactly what they have eaten and how much. I believe it also tells you about nappy changes etc, but my son was out of nappies when he started. From my point of view, I have been very impressed with the support both myself and my son have received at Little Inspirations and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    A really nice little nursery. My daughter loves going and always has something nice to say when she comes home. The staff are friendly and keep us up to date on my daughter’s day-to-day. There’s a great and varied indoor play space and a large outdoor play space.

    Was very pleased on my visit. The staff are lovely and friendly and from what I can see are very good with all the children, which makes you feel at ease, straight away. The facility looks fantastic with lots of different areas indoors and outdoors for the children to play. My 2-year-old loves going to this playgroup two mornings a week and is always so eager to go in, ready and waiting at the gate. (Trying to put the code in at the gate himself). It’s so nice to see him so happy going in and always smiling coming out when I pick him up. I would definitely recommend this playgroup to every parent that’s looking for one.

    Amazing nursery, amazing staff. Great communication between parents and staff. Understanding the child’s health, if there are any issues they have. They have a great routine, my child is eating more new stuff. I have a happy child every time she comes out of nursery. All in all, just amazing.

    Our child has been attending this nursery for over a year now. The staff are excellent and he really enjoys going. We had a chance to look around the nursery the other day (couldn’t view it previously due to Covid restrictions) and we were very impressed. Lots of different activities (indoors and outdoors) for the children to get involved with.

    Bumble Bees is an excellent nursery! My daughter looks forward to nursery every day and has developed a lovely relationship with all members of staff, who are extremely caring and welcoming. When my daughter first started, it was during covid, so the opportunity to see the setting wasn’t possible, but parents were recently invited to an open evening to explore and talk about the themes and activities the children participate in, which emphasised how good a nursery Bumble Bees is. My daughter was really excited and proud to show me around and didn’t want to leave. I would strongly recommend Bumble Bees to any parent looking for childcare.
