Busy Bees QE

Her first graduation and all she did was have fun to achieve it Have and will definitely continue to endorse the early‑years hub. Our young lady had an incredible time with her Busy Bees family and we had a fabulous time too. Luckily baby number two is still there to enjoy it all. A massive thank you to all at Busy Bees QE. The party was a complete surprise and really fun for all involved. Well done to the whole organising team and a special thanks to the class educators for looking after our baby girl. What an fantastic farewell party for the childcare centre graduates.

The food is of a high standard and good portion sizes too and they really encourage them to use spoons/forks to help develop their table manners. The crew are so engaging and interactive and they help encourage all the kids to participate. The baby room is lovely and spacious with separate sleeping area with cots in, so really nice if your baby is quite difficult to settle for daytime naps. The toddler room has further their important advancement and it’s where he learnt to walk and talk! Very sensible team when the kids are poorly and will give medicine and not always expect them to be picked up which is good if it’s difficult to leave work. My little one has been at Busy Bees between age 1-2 and a half and I have only moved him because I changed jobs. The nursery setting always has activities and lots of fancy dress opportunities which is fun for the kids. Also a good garden area for the crawlers. Lovely arrangement and an assortment of toys to stimulate exploring and help develop their hand-eye coordination.

My little one has went to Busy Bees QE since 2018 and they have supported my young lad with his SENCO targets. His key worker is fantastic and I have seen such a change in him over the preceding six months during this difficult time. I’m kept up to date and we work alongside childcare centre.

Entrust your precious little ones to Busy Bees QE without hesitation. All have cared for both my daughters as if they were their own. Indeed, the team go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the inclusion of all kids no matter what the circumstances. The personnel here consistently display great warmth, empathy and a fun-loving nature as well as being consummate professionals. They act, at all times, to create an environment in which little ones can thrive.

My boy has enjoyed the attention he has received there. My wife and I are exceptionally passionate about my son’s growth and we really appreciate the regular catch up opportunities we had with my son’s primary carer. We will miss all the support my young lad has received here and we will miss the admin assistance from the management. The admin/management team are really competent as they went above and beyond to help me secure funding for my young lad and extended their assistance even at the time of leaving the nursery setting due to job relocation. This is a great early‑years hub for those who want a great start for their kids from a young age. Great team both carers and admin. My young lad knows the names of virtually all the team members and it’s a sign of the close interactions he had with the carers and that he cherished. Competent and professional.

My family has grown and the team have been brilliant with helping to prepare my kid for the arrival of a new sibling and made the process much easier for all of us. Outdoors playtime is incorporated into the day and there is a large garden to activities in. The previous year has been a roller coaster for everyone but the childcare centre has been fantastic with their response, adapting at short notice and helping the youngsters adjust to this new normal. The centre is always hygienic, tidy and the crew are welcoming and often greet all the little ones by name, even ones I haven’t met before. My kid has was enrolled at this nursery setting for the past two years and has learnt so much during her time spent there. All activities are appropriately age-related, engaging and varied, my youngster especially enjoys reading and activities have been related to the current favourite story. I am extremely thrilled with the support and attention my kid receives and the new sibling is already signed up to join when I return to work.

Not only a kind and smiley face to welcome us in but also encouraging, professional and regimented in the rules. Throughout unprecedented times the crew at Busy Bees have been exceptional. I just can’t speak more wholeheartedly of them. Thank you each and every one of you. Thank you so much for the incredible hard work and time you give to my little boy. They have faced extremely uncertain times but their priority has always been the safety of the kids and those associated with the youngsters. He is really coming out of his shell outside of the home and I put a lot of that down to the fabulous people looking after him.

She’s always so animated when telling us what she’s been up to during her day and we can clearly see the various things she is exploring and the little ways in which she’s developing. I always get a sound handover at pick up time, of the day she’s had and things she’s done particularly well in but also things she may need a bit of help on improving, which allows me to work collaboratively with the childcare centre in addressing those. She gets a good diet through her meals and the childcare centre take her safety and wellbeing exceptionally seriously, always contacting me immediately with any issues. I’m self‑assured she’s protected, delighted and well looked after. The childcare centre uses excellent means of communicating daily, not just the meals but quantities she’s eaten, and also the activities she has partaken in. My little one has been at the childcare centre for a couple of months; the enjoyment she gets out of going shows by her excitement in the morning when dropping her off and enthusiasm in the afternoon when picking her up.

We are pleased with it. Very pleased it remained open for NHS workers. The workers are useful and kind but we are mirroring the feedback from a improvement report or a minute chat about our son’s behaviour and headway. We don’t know activities and sites so it is difficult to answer those boxes. It’s truly difficult to give an accurate evaluation of the childcare centre during these times as the face-to-face contact is minimal. They have strictly followed the Covid-19 rules and we felt secure for the previous year. Also reassured as we see and feel that our little one is exploring but we don’t really know how, what and when. Thank you for that.

I have entrusted the personnel at this superb early‑years hub with both of my youngsters full time since they were eight months old. They are kept safe, stimulated and developed by a great site and great individuals and I would never want my youngsters to go anywhere else. My boys have benefitted from the kindness, respect, patience, knowledge and fun of each and every member of the team at Busy Bees QE; from the cleaner to the manager, everyone knows my boys’ names and their personalities and takes delight in talking about them as much as I do. Even though it is a large percentage of our joint income to put them in nursery-we haven’t ever regretted the decision to send them to this one of a kind site.
