    She gets involved with lots of activities and consistently comes home cheerful! Our daughter has a genuine relationship with all the carers in her room and it truly feels like Busy Bees Ashbourne has a personalised approach for each kid. The frequency of the updates we receive on the app is remarkable. It’s been such an effective way to communicate and keep in touch during the working day! As first-time parents, we’re really cheerful with the level of care our daughter receives at childcare centre.

    We have used them to care for our daughters continuously from 2020 and have never had any issues. All of the team are very supportive and welcoming and understanding. I would highly suggest. We have been very cheerful with the care received from Treetops Ashbourne over the years.

    Busy Bees has been fundamental in her settling in here and she speaks so fondly of all the team and team. She is discovering, more and more social, experimenting with new foods and comes home cheerful and full of lovely stories from the day.
    We can’t thank Busy Bees enough for their involvement in helping us make here our new home. We moved to the area after living in the US and my daughter was welcomed with open arms.

    My kid really enjoys childcare centre and is discovering lots and developing new words and skills as a result of time there. team are very attentive and will pass any update if any concerns or upset at drop off, which is appreciated.

    She has lots of friends there and really adores her key worker. We adore the new app they are using, where we get updates and photographs throughout the day. Would suggest it to all my friends. Our daughter loves going to childcare centre!

    The team have been incredible, they are consistently there if I need any advice or guidance whether that be face-to-face or via email. The manager has made us sense extremely welcome ever since our first visit to the setting. She and her team have gone out of their way to ensure we have settled in. The preschool team consistently take the time to talk on pick up to run through my daughter’s day. My daughter’s key person has been an instrumental part of her settling into her new class and talks about her regularly. I have attended a number of stay-and-playtime sessions, these are excellent and a fantastic opportunity to see what my daughter does on a daily bases. As a parent, it’s comforting to know that my daughter is cheerful, secure, well fed and well looked after when I leave her in the morning. My daughter joined preschool in October after we relocated to Ashbourne and she enjoys going in to learn and playtime with her friends.

    My daughter loves going to childcare centre. Very supportive with potty training, cracked it in a week. Not overly cheerful that they give vegetarian sausages for lunch, what’s wrong with normal ones! The team are very welcoming.

    The kids’s activities are all based on the development of them according to age! Would highly suggest this childcare centre as it has made it so much easier returning to work knowing my kid is here. inviting, welcoming and welcoming team makes the whole journey sense more comfortable and relaxed!

    All team are welcoming, welcoming and no question goes unanswered – consistently being kept up to date and my kid loves spending their day at the childcare centre. It has helped grow her self‑assurance massively. The team at Busy Bees Ashbourne are incredible – the standard of care for the kids can not be beaten.

    All carers take time to debrief with the parents at the end of the day and keep details updated on the app. All carers know the kid personally and have a genuine connection and understanding of needs/wants/preferences.

    The management has changed, as has ownership, but what hasn’t changed is the dedication, cheerful and smiling faces and high standards that the evolving team have displayed throughout. Not that I have a fourth kid, but if I did, I would happily send them there. I have sent all three of my kids to Busy Bees in Ashbourne, starting in 2009.

    My son has attended childcare centre since he was three months old and the nurture, care and development he has received over the years has been faultless. There has not been a day that he has not wanted to attend. The manager and team are the childcare centre’s biggest asset, they truly care and the bond between my son and his key workers, through each stage, has been a joy to watch. Pre-school is outstanding, it has totally prepared my son for school. We will truly miss childcare centre as they have been a assistance network to us both and are an extended family for my son. I would highly suggest them to anyone looking for a childcare centre in Ashbourne. There will be tears on his last day! I cannot speak highly enough of Busy Bees, Ashbourne.

    She loves every second of being there. The team are exceptional and consistently answer any questions I have. They made me sense really relaxed when dropping her off and leaving her. I have recommended the childcare centre to plenty of my friends. My daughter started childcare centre in January 2022 when she was 10 months old and instantly settled into the baby room.

    My son loves going there. consistently smiles when he’s dropped off and consistently looks cheerful and content when collected. The team are outstanding with him and consistently very informative and supportive whenever asked. They are very accommodating towards any change of circumstances that we have. outstanding childcare centre.

    There is nowhere else we would choose.
    We have sent both our kids there and both settled into childcare centre life perfectly thanks to them! Our first kid loved her time there and it set her up perfectly for school. A very secure and welcoming childcare centre I couldn’t suggest more!

    All the team are compassionate, welcoming and very attentive. I adore the app, it’s excellent to know what they are doing each day and getting photos. The variety of food is outstanding and really gets the kids trying new things. The team are very thoughtful when it comes to special dates, making cards and other crafts. I would suggest Busy Bees to any of my friends and family. I cannot rate Busy Bees, Ashbourne Day childcare centre highly enough.

    The app is very comforting, given that we can’t go in at present due to Covid restrictions, and saves having to ask a lot of questions at drop off/pick up. The team are all very welcoming and supportive. It’s nice that they get taken outdoors a lot, and the activities seem to vary. The food is also varied and provides plenty of fruit/veg. My kid seems very cheerful at Treetops and enjoys the activities there.

    The team were all really welcoming, setting up different activities for us to take part in with our kid. It was excellent to see how the kids are taught and the types of activities they are involved in. This was our first opportunity since COVID and we absolutely loved it. My daughter was so excited to see us, showing us all around her areas. The team were giving us updates while we were there as well so we got to hear more about how she is getting on. Looking forward to our next opportunity to visit. We had a lovely afternoon at stay and playtime.

    She enjoys her time and loves the activities. It’s perfect preparation for school. We have found the Busy Bees Ashbourne to be a remarkable place for our daughter to attend.
