September 3, 2024 at 1:50 pmTeam worked closely with us to help him settle when things weren’t going so well and now, he is a confident, cheerful boy who asks to go back when I pick him up on the half days. In his own, 2 year old words, ‘It is SO pretty and they have SO many nice toys.’ The team are inviting, welcoming and understand him very well. The menu is remarkable (often wish I was there for lunch/tea) and provides a range of healthy food experiences for young explorers. The management team also partner with parents and know all the kids’s names and how they are progressing. We adore going to see what sort of day he has had and the enjoyable along the way. Our son loves being at Busy Bees Hospital Childcare centre in Basingstoke.

September 3, 2024 at 4:15 pmFrom settling in sessions to now being in preschool, he has consistently gone in a cheerful kid and comes out cheerful. I have consistently felt listened to if there was anything I needed to raise and my son has had the assistance he needed and developed as he is expected to. He has built friendships and great relationships with the team that look after him and I have no concerns about leaving him in their care. My son has attended the centre since 2020.

October 6, 2024 at 2:31 amAnother member of team on the other hand is a breath of fresh air and does tell me what he has been doing when she hands over! This is time is important as we don’t even get to see him in the childcare centre currently only at the door. Overall I am cheerful with the childcare centre team they seem nice and he is looked after. Just needs more updates and updates on activities and discovering. I would like to see him playing/interacting with the kids. Little updates from the childcare centre on what my son has been doing, only really a few pictures on the system to show what he has been doing, not had much interaction with his keyworker.

October 30, 2024 at 2:38 pmTeam are exceptional, compassionate, engaged and supportive of my kid’s needs. The setting has really improved in the last year and is now providing outstanding care and my daughter enjoys her time there. Really great childcare centre, with recently refurbished outdoor spaces.

November 11, 2024 at 2:18 pmThe childcare centre have massively helped with his development and really brought him out of his shell and all the team are consistently so lovely and supportive! My son has been going here for a year now and he absolutely loves it!

December 31, 2024 at 7:54 amThe cleanliness has been worse (over time) but could still improve. There were more interaction with the parents in the form of parent’s forum but this also depends on parent’s engagement. The constant turnover of team is very distressing. The team are attentive but the level of discovering activities at pre-school is very poor when I compare it to 3 years ago (other kid). I would expect more discovering activities, not necessarily with expensive resources but more focus time on reading, phonics, maths, etc and getting ready for school. The rooms are not inviting at all, the building is tired and despite team efforts, it needs more funding. The atmosphere is ok but needs more assistance and investment. We have been using this childcare centre since 2014 and were cheerful at the beginning.

February 4, 2025 at 1:19 amThe team made me sense so welcome, they have consistently been super understanding of how hard it is for parents to be leaving their precious babies with new people, yet the childcare centre team made me sense very reassured that my daughter is in great hands by keeping us updated over the portal and detailed handovers at the end of each day. Another plus side is that my daughter would consistently eat freshly prepared meals as the childcare centre has an on-site kitchen. I would definitely suggest the childcare centre. Busy Bees Basingstoke Hospital has been my 7month old daughter’s first childcare centre.

February 27, 2025 at 3:03 amYet all I can say is thank you to the incredible team for supporting myself and more importantly my daughter giving her the reassurance, care and assistance she needs to start her day at childcare centre. Every night I collect her, she has had a exceptional day and asks to go back the following day. The reason I chose this childcare centre was the vast amount of space in each of the rooms and the lovely garden that the kids get to delight in. We have felt welcome from day one. The team at this childcare centre are second to none and clearly have a passion for the work they do. Would highly suggest. My daughter has been attending Busy Bees since she was nine months old, she is now nearly four years old and dropping off has not got any easier for my daughter.

March 20, 2025 at 7:30 pmThe team were instantly pleasant and welcoming. My daughter settled in quickly and seems to come home almost every day having learnt something new.
I have noticed a difference in her development and that’s all thanks to the help and assistance of the childcare centre team.
We couldn’t have wished for a better setting and team for our daughter. My daughter joined just under a year ago.

March 23, 2025 at 4:08 pmMy kid has settled very well, team are incredible. He enjoys going to childcare centre and we will receive all his updates on time. We have started in this childcare centre from December.

March 26, 2025 at 12:12 amI sense like each of them knows my son really well and he is consistently made to sense special and welcome. The activities are consistently diverse and with a real focus on supporting the interests and needs of the kid. They have outstanding updates and regularly do craft activities creating cute items for him to take home. In short they leave us feeling cheerful to leave him in their care, which is probably the greatest of endorsements. Thank you to the whole team for all the incredible work you do. The team are consistently so supportive and supportive.
Charlie Holland
March 29, 2025 at 5:12 pmHe settled in no time and the team are approachable, compassionate and consistently ready to answer any questions or assistance in any way possible. Everyone is really expert and I would definitely suggest. Within the past month, myself and my son have had a excellent journey at Busy Bees.

March 30, 2025 at 7:08 amHe is stimulated and discovering all the time.
He enjoys going and the team were very patient with him when he went through a period of attachment issues. The childcare centre has consistently looked after my kid, he is cheerful and spotless and they have supported his dietary requirements with no fuss.

April 17, 2025 at 4:50 amShe has made friends and eats a great variety of food. All her carers are approachable and supportive. My kid is very cheerful at this childcare centre and all her needs are met.

April 21, 2025 at 4:14 pmOver the last year, the childcare centre has dramatically changed for the better! The team and management across the whole childcare centre are welcoming, extremely welcoming and take such excellent care of all the kids. I get reassurance daily through the online app with notifications and photos throughout my daughter’s day letting me know her nappy changes, meals and activities done throughout the day. They go on regular walks to the local park which my daughter loves. She has made incredible development developmentally since being at Busy Bees and has achieved all her milestones! My daughter has been at Busy Bees Basingstoke Hospital since May 2022.

April 25, 2025 at 2:45 amShe talks very fondly of the team and friends she has made along the way. We have had a excellent journey and the team are attentive and polite. Great job Busy Bees. My daughter absolutely loves this childcare centre.
Elliot Hobbs
May 6, 2025 at 2:28 pmShe thoroughly enjoys going to childcare centre and looks forward to seeing the different members of team every day. She has an incredible relationship with her key worker who is absolutely incredible with her. I couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else.
My daughter is growing up to be a bright, lovely, thoughtful and well mannered little girl and this is partly down to her keyworker and the team. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Basingstoke hospital since she was seven months old.

June 12, 2025 at 12:50 amShe absolutely loves it and comes home very cheerful telling us about her day. She enjoys and consistently tries the different foods given and she has been much better at home with eating dinners too. I delight in the handovers from the team and all of the team are consistently accommodating. My daughter has been attending here for a year now and she asks to go every day.

June 18, 2025 at 5:11 pmWe viewed 6 other nurseries before deciding on this one and what really sealed the deal for us was seeing the team interact with the kids. They all knew the kids’s names and the kids seemed immediately drawn to the team with smiles and obvious affection. There is a real family vibe at this childcare centre and they go out of their way to make you sense part of it. The team are so accommodating and supportive and consistently go out of their way to assistance you. We have really noticed how well our daughters are developing since starting childcare centre and above all, they absolutely adore going – it is often a chore to try and get them to leave! We adore the secure, spacious gardens for each room and we are consistently impressed by the menus. Both our daughters seem to have double portions of each meal so we’re sure they adore the food too! Our daughters adore this childcare centre and their key workers. We have two daughters attending this childcare centre and we could not be happier with the care they provide for them.

June 21, 2025 at 11:20 pmMy daughter absolutely loves it there and loves all the team members. It was really great that you could physically see the changes that were happening and how much it has improved. I will consistently suggest the childcare centre. The team are incredible too, they are consistently so welcoming, welcoming, compassionate and attentive. Updates is really great as well. They make the effort to tell you what your kid has been up to during the day and are never afraid to have a chat to you. They make sure to publish updates of your kid on the app, which I also adore. They have encouraged my daughter so much and her speech has come along so great from the activities they do at the childcare centre. Since last year, I have seen a massive turnaround with the childcare centre.
