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

    My child 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. We are sure that our child is well prepared for the reception class in September. The staff are incredible for our whole family, the partnership between us works really well. Our child is happy in the setting and I always recommend the place to my friends. The garden is quite small, but that is not an issue.

    It has been nearly a month my son has been going to this nursery and my elder son went to the same nursery. All staff are very genuine and empathetic and give good care to my son. I am well impressed with how much the staff already know about him. I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

    It has been an incredible experience. Our son has been happy and excited ever since he started with Bees in the Hive Pre-school. 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 good standard.

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

    My daughter attends the nursery at Bees in the Hive. Throughout the time she has been there, all the staff at the nursery have been amazing with the activities they have offered her throughout the day, which my daughter has loved taking part in. The staff are so caring they have made her feel safe and cared for when she has had some upsetting times, which has reassured me as her mum that my daughter will be happy and safe no matter what mood my daughter is in when she at the nursery, I know the staff will be there for her.

    I would like to say the staff member in my daughter’s room is the best nursery 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. 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 children up from nursery.
    So I would like to say a big thank you to her and to the other staff.

    Absolutely love this nursery. Two of my children have attended here and never had any problems. My son’s key worker is amazing, and he loves showing her all the things he can do and always goes in with a smile on his face.

    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. Not a day goes by when I am disappointed/upset with their company.
    Every single one of the health care professionals is very polite, welcoming, and happy to see not only the children but the adults too.
    The bees at the home made me and my daughter feel welcome as soon as I arrived at their front door!
    I don’t want my daughter to ever leave! I highly recommend it to every single child-parent or carer!
    This company has gone above and beyond and I cannot find a single fault in them!!

    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 contacted the nursery and asked about availability and were really surprised by the amount of information that they gave us. 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 staff and they are all exceptional at helping her grow and develop and talking more which was our biggest concern.

    Fantastic setting. I feel at ease leaving my child with these amazing ladies and would highly recommend this preschool to any parent. Simple, clean and beautiful environment.
    My child is learning so much through these ladies and is always happy on arrival and when leaving. Always great activities set out for the children, every day is different and the children really get to experience a lot here.
    They ensure that my child is always well cared for. Couldn’t rate this place any higher. Will miss dropping my child off here every morning and I’m sure he will too!

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

    Love the app, that we can all see the children learning, doing lots of different activities it’s nice to be able to see their everyday learning.
    All the staff are so lovely, always there to support or help with anything. I think it’s very important to be able to talk to all the staff at Bees in the Hive, all the staff are always there.
    My two love everyone there has so many friends, are always excited to go and always excited when I pick them up as they have the best time.
    Couldn’t thank the nursery enough as they are honestly all so amazing!
    There’s nothing I would change.

    I have had 5 of my children 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 staff here are truly amazing!
    They have adapted to each child’s different needs and their SEN needs in a truly special way.
    They are very good at realising that each child 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.

    I have two of my children here. One is due to leave for school this term. Myself and my partner feel 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 amazing staff that will take the time and effort to help you and your child on a one-to-one basis if needed, and you always have someone there to talk to if you have any concerns, these always get dealt with when needed. We feel, as parents, that our other child will thrive at this nursery due to the support of all the people involved.
