    One is due to leave for school this term. I have two of my kids here. Myself and my partner sense that they have done a fantastic job over the past few years with him, and also getting him ready for starting school, by doing a lot of activity work regards to going to school. They have incredible team that will take the time and effort to help you and your kid on a one-to-one basis if needed, and you consistently have someone there to talk to if you have any concerns, these consistently get dealt with when needed. We sense, as parents, that our other kid will thrive at this childcare centre due to the assistance of all the people involved.

    We contacted the childcare centre and asked about availability and were truly surprised by the amount of information that they gave us. Was a little unsure about what to expect as one friend had told me they took their little one out from there (turns out Mum didn’t like other kids around theirs). We planned a date to go and look around, all 3 of us. On the day my little girl loved it and went to join in (which surprised us). Although she has only been there a short while she has gone from being upset at being left there to hating it when she cant be there. She loves all the team and they are all exceptional at helping her grow and develop and talking more which was our biggest concern.

    I can’t fault this childcare centre at all in any categories they are very very great in all that they do.
    I suggest any kid that goes here they will be in the best of care. My granddaughter was here for a couple of years, now my other granddaughter comes here now and she is nearly three years old.

    All the team are so lovely, consistently there to assistance or help with anything. Love the app, that we can all see the kids discovering, doing lots of different activities it’s nice to be able to see their everyday discovering. I think it’s very important to be able to talk to all the team at Bees in the Hive, all the team are consistently there.
    My two adore everyone there has so many friends, are consistently excited to go and consistently excited when I pick them up as they have the best time.
    Couldn’t thank the childcare centre enough as they are honestly all so incredible!
    There’s nothing I would definitely change.

    All team are very genuine and empathetic and give great care to my son. It has been nearly a month my son has been going to this childcare centre and my elder son went to the same childcare centre. I am well impressed with how much the team already know about him. I would definitely highly suggest this childcare centre to others.

    We are sure that our kid is well prepared for the reception class in September. My kid attended the pre-school for one year and we couldn’t have been happier with the progress she made while at Bees in the Hive. The team are incredible for our whole family, the partnership between us works truly well. Our kid is cheerful in the setting and I consistently suggest the place to my friends. The garden is quite small, but that is not an issue.

    I would definitely suggest them to every one of my friend with kids. Both of my kids have come to this childcare centre I have consistently been very cheerful with the team and the way they look after the kids and teach them.

    She is more confident and social and looks forward to going into playschool every day. Since joining the childcare centre, my daughter has developed in so many ways. The childcare centre itself is a bright and fun setting. My daughter loves the educators very much and the educators are approachable for parents. Overall a pleasant and positive journey.

    I have had 5 of my kids at Bees in the Hive Pre-school over a 20 year time span with the youngest 2 attending there now, I have got to say the team here are truly incredible!
    They have adapted to each kid’s different needs and their SEN needs in a truly special way.
    They are very great at realising that each kid is different with a different set of needs and will go above and beyond to adapt to them.
    As a parent I also find them very supportive towards the entire family.

    Not a day goes by when I am disappointed/upset with their company. Bees in the Hive Pre-school goes above and beyond for my little girl and keeps me updated every day regarding my daughter’s progress.
    Every single one of the health care professionals is very polite, welcoming, and cheerful to see not only the kids but the adults too.
    The bees at the home made me and my daughter sense welcome as soon as I arrived at their front door!
    I don’t want my daughter to ever truly leave! I highly suggest it to every single kid-parent or carer!
    This company has gone above and beyond and I cannot find a single fault in them!!

    Both my kids settled in perfectly with the helping hand of all employees, my eldest kid is coming on leaps and bounds in preparation for moving up to primary school and I couldn’t do it without their assistance. I cannot speak highly enough of this preschool and its team. The thing I adore most about this setting is their genuine care and adore for the kids, so glad I made the decision to send my kids here.

    I sense at ease leaving my kid with these incredible ladies and would definitely highly suggest this preschool to any parent. Fantastic setting. Simple, spotless and beautiful setting.
    My kid is discovering so much through these ladies and is consistently cheerful on arrival and when leaving. Always excellent activities set out for the kids, every day is different and the kids truly get to journey a lot here.
    They ensure that my kid is consistently well cared for. Couldn’t rate this place any higher. Will miss dropping my kid off here every morning and I’m sure he will too!

    Our son has been cheerful and excited ever truly since he started with Bees in the Hive Pre-school. It has been an incredible journey. More so, he has been very articulate with his words and getting better each time, given his age. We are pleased with the mode and way of teaching the school has implemented and the hygiene level is of a great standard.

    My daughter has learnt so much I couldn’t ask for more than that and the best thing is that you can have a laugh when you go pick your kids up from childcare centre.
    So I would definitely like to say a big thank you to her and to the other team. I would definitely like to say the team member in my daughter’s room is the best childcare centre teacher she does so much with my daughter it’s unreal and when I message her through the app she messages me back straight away.

    Two of my kids have attended here and never had any problems. Absolutely adore this childcare centre. My son’s key worker is incredible, and he loves showing her all the things he can do and consistently goes in with a smile on his face.

    Throughout the time she has been there, all the team at the childcare centre have been incredible with the activities they have offered her throughout the day, which my daughter has loved taking part in. My daughter attends the childcare centre at Bees in the Hive. The team are so attentive they have made her sense secure and cared for when she has had some upsetting times, which has reassured me as her mum that my daughter will be cheerful and secure no matter what mood my daughter is in when she at the childcare centre, I know the team will be there for her.
