October 3, 2024 at 2:44 amAll team have been incredible in helping both my daughter and I adjust. They are welcoming, informative, comforting and, above all, put my daughter first. She takes part in a range of activities each day and has settled fantastically. She loves childcare centre already. My mind has been put at ease knowing I leave her each day in an setting she loves and is secure in. My daughter started at childcare centre this month, and as a full time working mum I was terrified.

October 14, 2024 at 2:33 pmHe went off on his first day with no issue considering he did not have a settling in session (our fault due to illness). He was so cheerful when we left him on his first day we knew straight away we had made the right decision. All the team are so welcoming. It’s so lovely to leave our son knowing he is cheerful and cared for while we go to work.
He has consistently been busy doing activities during the day painting, singing, playing, etc.
They have a exceptional outside space for all the different ages of kids.
The only thing that isn’t as great for us is the childcare centre is open only till 6 which sometimes is a struggle with our working hours and I imagine with other people as well however this is a small compromise to make for such a remarkable childcare centre. Our son started here at 11 months after removing him from another childcare centre which we felt we weren’t cheerful with.

They make my kid very welcome, very welcoming team all of them and being a preschool practitioner myself, this is one of the best ones I’ve ever come across. Thank you. Absolutely adore it.

November 28, 2024 at 8:39 pmBoth of my daughters have attended the Childcare centre and have been cheerful there. They have both formed great relationships with the Team that are assigned to them as well as other members of team including Management. The Childcare centre has lovely indoor and outside space. We have never had any problems with Ashford Godinton Childcare centre.

The team seem genuinely interested and inviting to the kids and welcoming. My daughter has become more confident and her speech has come on considerably. We are so pleased we chose this childcare centre. My daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was 11 month and is now 2 1/2.

January 2, 2025 at 7:52 pmThey are supportive and supportive and both of my kids have built excellent relationships with them. My eldest son’s first key person is now my youngest son’s key person and this consistency and familiarity for us all as a family has made it an outstanding journey.
The manager, in particular, is exceptional, she knows all the kids well and is very approachable and understanding. The facilities are also outstanding particularly the outside space, where each age range has their own garden with lots of shade and equipment for the kids to playtime with. My eldest son attended Busy Bees Godinton from 9 months old until leaving to start school, I am now sending my youngest there too as we have been so impressed with them.
The team are compassionate and attentive with the kids’s interests in the forefront of their minds.

January 10, 2025 at 11:57 pmIt’s been an outstanding setting for my kid and it’s all the value you take for the money you pay. I was consistently surprised by the incredible service they provide and how easy it was for my kid to settle in. This childcare centre has exceeded all my expectations regarding care, facilities, cleanliness, food, care and team. I’m so pleased with my choice.

January 11, 2025 at 11:19 pmHer key person is lovely and I wish I had listened to my gut feeling sooner and switched her. Changed to Busy Bees from a different childcare centre and I couldn’t be happier.

April 25, 2025 at 1:27 amTeam were very welcoming and inviting to our son. Then he graduated to the blue room and problems began. With each passing week, I noticed him becoming more subdued when I took him. Two girls there are welcoming but not as inviting – lack of excitement in their voice to kids. Eventually, my son cracked and broke down twice – once when I dropped him off and once when his mum did so. He seemed in genuine distress. I picked him up on his last trip and he seemed distressed when I arrived to collect him too.
Generally a great childcare centre but there are two team that are not as inviting as others ladies there. There was also a time when he came home in soiled trousers but a spotless nappy.
Overall the team are great and most mean well but it didn’t work out for my boy. Initially, we were impressed with this childcare centre.

May 3, 2025 at 12:12 pmMy husband and I have been very pleased with the standard of childcare that he has received across his time at childcare centre and have enjoyed collecting him each day, consistently finding him with a smile on his face.
All of our son’s key workers have managed to form strong bonds with him and seeing their genuine affection towards him and knowing he was being well looked after (from day 1 in the baby room) has made the journey of childcare centre so much easier for us.
We have noticed a difference in him in self‑assurance since he moved into his pre school room and have really enjoyed watching this grow over the last year, we know he will miss his key worker dearly, she has been truly fabulous throughout and is a real credit to the childcare centre. My son started childcare centre when he was 9 months old and is now due to complete his time at pre school having recently turned 4.

June 4, 2025 at 9:59 pmMy daughter started very young (6 months) and I felt so reassured with her coming here. The team are expert and organised and having updates on her day through the app is excellent. An incredible childcare centre with incredible team!
Sidney Steele
June 19, 2025 at 2:10 pmHe’s been very well taken care of. He is 2 years 4 months old now and likes it a lot. Busy Bees has excellent facilities, it’s spotless, has very welcoming and expert team, who are flexible and adapt according to the kids’s needs. We’re very cheerful with the childcare centre. The only criticism is the almost constantly overflowing bin outside the childcare centre building. Often there’s rubbish flying around after the bags have been torn by animals. Not a excellent setting near kids. Our son attended the childcare centre from the age of 9 months.

July 7, 2025 at 3:00 pmChildcare centre is all about playing, discovering, mixing with other kids, social skills and I sense that her needs are being met. We have noticed a significant improvement in her and it is doing her great. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and they are very attentive towards my daughter. She makes seasonal decorations/drawings/biscuits/paintings that are sent home which is delightful (a lovely keepsake for a scrapbook). My daughter started Busy Bees in October 2017 and she loves it.
