September 4, 2024 at 3:06 pmThe personnel are welcoming and useful. The updates through the app are excellent as well, meaning that correspondence is quick and easy. Couldn’t rate this early‑years hub strongly enough. My young lad enjoys coming here. He enjoys the food he receives there and always comes home with a smile on his face.

My young lad enjoys going to Bees Knees and often talks about his friends and carers. It really teaches him to games with other little ones. Love what you are doing and how the team are treating the little ones.

October 8, 2024 at 2:16 pmI am extremely pleased with the early‑years hub especially throughout the COVID period they were able to accommodate my needs and continue to keep my boy secure educated and entertained enabling me to continue working.

November 1, 2024 at 11:48 pmThe staff’s aim is to make sure the kids are protected and well looked after. There’s also loads of transparency through the app. The early‑years hub so far has filled me with warmth by consistently keeping me updated with both my child’s well-being and improvement, they have a great understanding of the fact that parents can sometimes be strongly protective of their little ones and sometimes it’s hard to be separated for young ones.

December 10, 2024 at 5:08 amMy little one recently joined Bees Knees as well after her nursery setting ceased trading and again the team were patient and kind as she transitioned at truly short notice into a new setting. I would suggest the childcare centre to everyone. My boy adores going to early‑years hub and that is a result of the kind and caring crew. His day is varied and fun, I see changes in his growth all of the time as a result of the time he spends at childcare centre.

Happy with the service and the support provided for my kids. Management is responsive and acting quickly if there are issues raised by the parents.

December 23, 2024 at 6:26 pmBoth my boy (3) and little one (1) join Bees Knees nursery setting. It’s great to receive daily updates on activities, sleep and food! I would wholeheartedly advocate this nursery setting to anyone, I go to work each day knowing my kids are safe, looked after and are having fun. As a parent, I feel supported, listened to and most importantly informed. The nursery setting covers a wide range of events throughout the year, which teaches the kids the value of understanding and respecting cultures other than their own. They are looked after extremely well by a lovely team of carers and have built great relationships with all of them individually.

December 26, 2024 at 9:32 pmBees Knees in Reading – as hesitant as I was to send my little girl to childcare centre from the first visit I was assured she will be looked after. The app works great and enjoy daily and weekly updates. Looking forward to sending my girl to them. We are still getting used to each other but so far so good. Management is listening and open to a conversation.

January 7, 2025 at 9:11 amIf you’re looking for a nursery setting for your youngster don’t go past Bees Knees, fantastic early‑years hub, so glad my young lad got a full-time place here. Couldn’t ask for better. This is the best nursery setting, the manager is fantastic and goes above and beyond for the youngsters. All the crew are so welcoming and caring towards the youngsters. The place is so immaculate and the kids are having home-cooked food. My boy spent two years here and he had two good years of his life here.

January 15, 2025 at 9:16 amHe always comes home with something new, new words and songs, and I cherish that he can activities outside in the fresh air. For me, this is a fantastic nursery setting. My young lad has been attending the childcare centre since December 2021 and he has already made friends and has a good relationship with the educators. We are all extremely pleased and grateful that the crew is looking after our boy. He is always thrilled to be in the childcare centre. Even though my little one is fussy with the food since he is in the early‑years hub, he likes to try and taste it.

January 16, 2025 at 1:00 pmFantastic contact from the early‑years hub team. My kid is always thrilled to go to and this is due to the lovely and creative activities he is able to do on a daily basis. The new app to keep parents updated is great and provides me with some useful info and lovely photos.

February 2, 2025 at 7:07 pmHe often comes home with pictures he has created and we are updated regularly with activities he has done throughout the day and meals he’s eaten. Absolutely brilliant! Couldn’t fault Bees Knees! Fantastic team, my little boy goes to early‑years hub full time and he treasures it.

February 24, 2025 at 4:07 pmI would definitely endorse the nursery setting to everyone. It’s possible due to good and caring team and great teaching. We really appreciate the way nursery setting is providing excellent teaching and assistance to my boy. My boy treasures going to early‑years hub and seems pretty delighted and enjoying childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 9:31 amThey made the settling and transition process run smoothly. Thanks to team at Bees Knees Day Nursery Reading. I found this extremely hard. The Staff are kind and informative with regular updates on the Famly app on how his day is going. After nine months maternity leave, it was time for me to go back to work and put my trust in someone else hands. Thank you Bees Knees for the excellent support you give to our boy.

March 23, 2025 at 5:34 amThe childcare centre I find is doing a great job with my little one. They are dealing with him truly well when he has done something wrong and when picking him up in the afternoon, evening always gets good feedback of his day even if good or bad.

April 7, 2025 at 11:56 pmGiven that our youngest son was only 18 months old it was important for us to find a childcare setting for him that felt homely with the right balance of education. The manager and the team have been incredible in helping to settle in my son, he brings home lots of lovely keepsakes as well as talking a lot about his playtime. My son was born during covid and I sense it had an effect on his self‑assurance, the team at the childcare centre have helped him mix with other kids while making sure he is settled and used to being away from us.
I highly suggest Bees Knees – they have provided an exceptionally high standard of care to him, the setting feels homely and given his age he goes straight in without hesitation. Bees Knees was recommended to us after we relocated, and I started a new job.

April 21, 2025 at 1:06 pmOverall we are thrilled with Bee Knees and so are our boys. They’ve made loads of friends and the crew take a great interest in their advancement and wellbeing. Both our boys have joined Bees Knees and enjoyed it. The boys adored the food from the on-site cook and we are confident they are getting a nutritious diet. The management team are fantastic and great at communicating events and activities happening at early‑years hub.

May 9, 2025 at 2:45 pmMenu is good and my little one really enjoys it and is always delighted after being there! My little one settled in exceptionally quickly when joining this childcare centre. Lovely crew and they do great activities and get the kids out in the garden a lot too which is great.

June 3, 2025 at 8:36 amMy young lad started eating food he didn’t really like before joining the early‑years hub. He really likes his nursery setting and his instructors. he remembers his friend’s names from the early‑years hub and his teacher’s posts his activities every single day. He is now more independent, and responsible. and he enjoys to colour more than ever .. He joined 4 months ago and now he adores to cook ( as he does in school) also, he sings a lot of songs which I know he got from school.. The nursery setting is super caring, they take good attention of the youngsters.

June 3, 2025 at 1:31 pmWe sincerely appreciate all the efforts put together by the carers for him. My little one got exceptionally good at speaking and communicating in English. It was all the effort spent by his carers which brought him today at this level.

June 20, 2025 at 7:29 amGood food as well as great ways of teaching things. My youngster has been going here since prior September 2019. It has good and caring team. I definitely advocate it.

June 22, 2025 at 4:11 pmMy boy absolutely enjoys this nursery setting. The nursery setting has been incredible with our recent potty training journey and all the team are kind, patient and full of advice for a first time mum. His verbal and social abilities are exceeding our expectations daily and he learns soo much in this fun and welcoming space. Since starting at 8 months old he has flourished in all aspects.
