August 6, 2018 at 12:00 amBusikids has been great for our first daughter. She has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old and will be leaving at the end of August to go to school. It has been brilliant for her, and she loves her time there. Activities are varied, and she always has lots of fun. The nursery staff are very caring, and also very adaptable to parents’ requests e.g. I’m fussy with what food she eats, so they would always listen to, and follow, our requests. Our 2nd daughter will be joining the nursery when she is 10 months old too. Would highly recommend.

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amBusikids is a fantastic nursery which has undoubtedly helped my son develop both physically and mentally. A lot of attention is focused on learning, but also having fun at the same time.
Busikids use an app which updates frequently so that I am able to see every meal he eats and every nappy change he has.
All members of staff are extremely helpful and have made sure to go the extra mile to make both myself and son feel welcome, and have dealt with everything brilliantly in these uncertain times.
My son loves attending Busikids, has made lots of friends (including the members of staff!) and without a doubt, my second son will also attend this nursery, I won’t consider anywhere else!

July 23, 2020 at 12:00 amFrom the first contact with the nursery when we enquired, to our visit to view the facilities and then the boys settling in sessions every single staff member has made us feel welcome and made me feel my boys are being left in safe and loving hands.
My boys have attended three days a week since they were 10 months old and have so far been in three of the different rooms, Ducklings, Penguins and Monkeys. Each room has been fantastic at meeting the needs of their particular age group. The activities are always so varied and engaging and the staff in each room are so caring, dedicated and knowledgeable.
They are great at communicating and keeping parents up to date throughout the day as well as newsletters and emails regularly and updates on their Facebook page.
In addition to the daytime care, they also put on a fantastic Summer picnic and Christmas Fair which helps all the parents connect.
It’s a fantastic place for anyone with under 5s.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amI have one child in the under two group and one in the pre-school and my eldest child went through the various stages as well.
All 3 children love/have loved attending Busikids and have benefited from the range of activities, meals and interactions greatly. I think they have all formed great bonds with different members of staffs and have made lovely friends.
Apart from returning to work, one of the reasons I wanted my children to go to a nursery was to make sure they had lots of different experiences and opportunities such as crafts I didn’t want to do in my home (paint!) and food I may never have cooked. This was definitely the case in the experience my three have had.
Throughout the pandemic, the advice and communication have been brilliant and my children have not been upset at all by the distancing measures that have been put in place.

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has enjoyed being at Busikids so much. She looks forward to going to school every week. Staff are friendly all the time. She has also been enjoying their lovely food at snack time and at lunch. She will really miss Busikids!

July 28, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth my boys have gone through Busikids, from 9 months right up to 4 years old. They have all been kind, caring and supportive throughout their whole journey. They are always very easy to communicate with and feel like they really make the effort to get to know your child. The facilities are always clean and they have a lot of space inside along with an amazingly large garden for the children to explore. I will be sad for my little one to finish in a few weeks time, but I know it has really helped him to be confident and ready to start school.

July 28, 2020 at 12:00 amMy child started at this nursery when she was 9 months old, it was the best decision I have made to send her here. I was messed around with a baby sitter before they came to my rescue.
The staff have always cared for my child and she’s always happy when she’s is collected. The updates I get every time she attends gives me great happiness especially to see the varied activities she takes parts in.
All the staff and management are really approachable and knowledgeable about their roles and they treat every child as an individual when nurturing their little personalities.
I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for one.

July 28, 2020 at 12:00 amBusikids have been great with our little man, he settled in really quickly in is first few weeks and doesn’t seem phased when we drop him off in the mornings. Shortly after he started, we had the disruption from COVID – the team were really clear on what was happening, and kept us in the loop when it came to re-opening.
We get daily detailed of his naps/food/nappies, which helps with peace of mind and knowing that he has structure to his day.

July 28, 2020 at 12:00 amThis is a fantastic nursery both my daughter and son have been attending since they were a year old. My son’s speech and confidence have grown a massive amount since being in the Penguin room. They learn something new every day and always love when they do all the different activities and games outside. I am very grateful for all the staff for looking after my children. This nursery also has great facilities and we enjoy going along to the summer BBQ they hold and the Christmas Party they do every year.

August 4, 2020 at 12:00 amAfter looking around many childcare providers, I came across Busikids and immediately knew my child, now children, would be happy here. I wouldn’t entrust anyone else with them. There is so much care from all the staff and my children are extremely happy whenever they attend. Whenever any issues have arisen, they have been dealt with swiftly and with compassion. It is the best nursery-preschool around!

August 12, 2020 at 12:00 amI have two children who go to Busikids, one is 4 1/2 and one is nearly 18 months old, both have been going since they were 9 months. I could not fault the nursery, the staff are amazing and seem to truly care about the kids and all their achievements. Due to the closure (COVID) the nursery sent lots of activities to do and videos of the staff and reading book which was great to keep them going. When it re-opened they sent video tours of the new bubbles which was really helpful to prepare my 4-year-old. They have been amazing at keeping us updated and making a smooth transition back into the nursery. The kids absolutely love going and often don’t want to come home!

September 2, 2020 at 12:00 amOverall we have found the nursery to be very good. However recently lack of consistent staff has made settling hard for our child. They take a big interest in her welfare and her learning journey.

September 2, 2020 at 12:00 amNursery staff are very friendly and always available for any request. During lockdown we received information often, which allowed us to be kept in the loop on their progress. They are very accomodating if we have to change hours for our little one. My daughter loves going to nursery. She always smiles and comes home with lots of craft. The outside area is great for all the kids with plenty to do. I would recommend Busikids to my friends.

March 13, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attended Busikids from 2016-2019, and now our daughter attends and has done since 2020. For all those years, both my husband and I have been delighted with the care provided for our children. Communication has been excellent, staff have been extremely approachable and I get very detailed accounts about what my children have been up to during their day. I couldn’t really ask for more. The facilities are excellent, especially the garden area, and I feel Busikids are always looking at ways to maintain their high standards and improve themselves. I feel that our children have not been merely ‘looked after’ so we can work, every day they are given amazing learning opportunities and experiences that nurture their curiosity and development. I feel fortunate as a family that we found Busikids.

March 13, 2023 at 12:00 amOur little boy started at Busikids Day Nursery just under a year ago. Everything has been exceptional, I cannot recommend them enough. The staff go above and beyond to support them to develop, they are so enthusiastic when playing, and to help my anxiety – their communication with us has been amazing. He’s been eating and sleeping better at nursery than at home, I can see him develop and thrive, he’s learnt so many new games and songs and he is so excited to go to nursery every day. We get daily reports of how he’s been and even ideas or tips on what activities to do at home. What more can you ask for?

March 18, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 4-year-old and a 1-year-old both attend Busikids. They both love going three times a week. Busikids have two wonderful outside spaces with two huge lawns and a second patio area which is used in every weather. The staff at the nursery are so caring, kind and friendly. The children have delicious home-cooked food daily and they cater very well for dietary requirements. I’m so pleased my children go to Busikids – I couldn’t rate it enough!

March 18, 2023 at 12:00 amAll the staff are fantastic. My son has struggled in certain areas and in confidence. Busikids have brought him out of his shell. They work together with the parents to get the most out of the kids whilst having lots of fun. The staff are warm and caring. The nursery itself is lovely, my son’s favourite bit is the large garden, lots of toys to suit all.
