    My daughter attends the Pre School at St Matthews and she loves it. She is excited to go every morning and her confidence has increased greatly. The staff in the room are excellent. They keep the parents updated and involved in the current topic so we can continue to discuss this at home. A few weeks ago my daughter had a relapse with toilet training and getting herself dressed. I spoke to the staff members and they were so helpful offering advice to try at home and they also completed some activities with the children about morning routines which really helped resolve the issue quickly. The activities are excellent, creating rockets in the garden, making cookies and cakes, kinetic sand etc. Having the parent zone app on my phone is also a great tool for keeping in touch. I can see what she has eaten in the day and any pictures or observations that have been completed. I would certainly recommend this nursery.

    My child has attended the setting since he was 10 months old, he is really settled and really enjoys coming to nursery. There are days where he is a bit unsettled when I drop him off but the staff are excellent and he normally settles down within a few minutes of me leaving him.

    The parentzone app is excellent and helps us keep a track of what he has eaten throughout the day, the observations are also lovely to read after a long day at work.

    My child enjoys it that much it takes me almost 10 minutes to get him out of the nursery every evening.

    My little boy has been going to the nursery since he was 12 months old. He is now 18 months. His development has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff are fantastic.

    The dedication that they give the children is phenomenal. He comes home every day having experienced something new. Whether it be through singing, dancing or messy play.

    Would highly recommend the nursery in regards to flexibility with being a shift worker and the communication is great.

    Our son has been really happy and has shown good development while he has been here. His confidence has grown and the team cares for the kids really well.

    We have found Busy Bees a fantastic nursery. We are very happy with the activities, food served, the staff are very friendly and helpful, very clean and a fun environment for the little one. We would recommend the nursery to parents.

    We love the nursery! It’s in a great location, sensibly priced, a fantastic staff team, good quality food and good opening hours. Our little girl absolutely loves the staff team and really enjoys going to nursery! She’s learning and developing really well.

    The nursery itself is modern and spacious and has plenty of rooms and space for all the children to manoeuvre and play. The garden is a fantastic area and is split into sections so it can be used by multiple groups of children and socatots classes. The most endearing thing is how staff and management treat everyone (parents and children). We are treated as part of the Busy Bees family and have struck up some fantastic relationships. All in all, the staff are very supportive with any issues (ie., behaviour) and to me as a parent who just needs some advice once in a while!

    We would like to personally thank First Steps 1 for all of their hard work with our daughter. It took her a while to settle in but their patience and understanding with her was fantastic. We’re so happy knowing she is in great hands each time we drop her off. The app is fantastic – I love each time a photo is uploaded and you can get an insight into their day at nursery. We think all the staff are so welcoming and friendly that it creates such a safe and warm environment for the children.

    Both my daughters attend the nursery and we have been coming here for 3 years now. I wouldn’t trust another nursery to look after my girls.
    I feel safe in the knowledge that my girls feel safe, well cared for and have fun when they come to nursery.

    We are extremely happy with how the staff have helped our daughter settle into nursery life. We feel like the staff know her very well which reassures us as parents that she is getting good care when we leave her. We appreciate the updates, assessments and observations we get from nursery and we know she is happy there. We feel the staff are involved in her learning.

    We cannot fault Busy Bees during our son’s first year at nursery.
    From day 1, the process has been really slick, this is from the set up to the staff.
    Security is excellent and we know our son is always safe.
    The dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm is a daily standard of all staff and we receive a full report of our son’s day.
    Staff appear to thoroughly enjoy their jobs and always make time to answer any questions. We cannot recommend Busy Bees at St Matthews enough to other parents.

    My daughter has attended this nursery for approximately a year and a half. Throughout her time at the nursery we have found all of the staff to be welcoming, enthusiastic and accommodating. Our daughter is confident and happy when she is in the care of the nursery and we regularly receive very detailed reports about her development via the parenting app. We are really pleased with the care that she receives at Busy Bees Burntwood.

    Busy Bees always go above and beyond in the care and education for my two and three-year-olds. As an adoptive parent, the staff at Busy Bees have always worked alongside us in how we talk to our children about their life stories and support their overall development. We relish that we have always been able to speak collaboratively with the nursery team about any additional support that our children may need at any given time. Our experience of the re-opening and reintroducing our children to their nursery routine after lockdown has been an extremely positive one. Our daughter and son thoroughly enjoy their days at nursery, their reintroduction has been a very smooth one. That is in recognition of the fantastic job that all the team at Busy Bees Burntwood do every day. Thank you!

    My twin girls have been attending Busy Bees at St Matthews for over 2 years and they absolutely love it there! All of the staff are amazing and have helped us through every milestone of the girls’ lives so far. I have never had any concerns or issues with the care my girls receive there and I wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else.

    This is the best nursery by a long mile. The staff are brilliant, the environment and equipment are excellent and my child experiences engaging activities which support her development and learning. The app means that we get regular updates and photographs.

    This nursery is absolutely amazing, both my girls have gone here and they have learnt so much in that time. The staff are so friendly and will help you and your child with whatever you need. It’s taken my youngest a long time to settle in but the staff have always been amazing with her and helped her with her confidence. Definitely found our perfect nursery.

    I cannot praise the staff enough. Always so friendly and helpful and genuinely care about my daughter’s development and wellbeing.
    During these tough times, all the staff have worked so hard to ensure that the children have stayed safe and still had lots of fun every day.
    My daughter loves going to nursery and my wife and I feel so lucky to have such a great place to take her to.

    Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees since November, she was 20 months when she started and she loved it. She was nervous and tearful the first couple of times but she soon settled and now runs in and doesn’t seem to want to come home. From the moment we were shown around we knew this was the place for our daughter. All the staff are so friendly and really helped the induction process, supporting us as well as our daughter. I love the app where we receive updates throughout the day, this really gives me peace of mind when we are at work. This was the best decision we made for our daughter as she has grown in confidence as well as seeming to love being there.

    Busy Bees St Matthews is an amazing nursery and early years learning centre for my daughter who is now 20-months old. Due to my partner having to return to work earlier than expected, our child has been at this nursery since 4-months old. Since then, Busy Bees St Matthews has excelled in every aspect of our child’s development. She has gained confidence in her speech, interaction with others, physical activities, willingness to try different foods and general learning. Such as, identifying different shapes, colours, animals, nursery rhymes, numbers and the alphabet. I am extremely grateful to the staff of Busy Bees St Matthews for all their hard work so far and I would definitely be recommending this centre to other parents.

    The nursery and staff are brilliant. All the staff who work at the nursery are extremely supportive and my child always leaves super happy. The activities they have to do are always interesting and creative.
