Busy Bees Bedford Elstow

During the early days, prior to lockdown, we were able to be let into the early‑years hub for pick-up and watch him playing through the window and we were pleased to see that always looked really thrilled and busy. Our boy started Busy Bees when he was 10 months old and the team were exceptionally helpful during the settling in process. The greatest testament to this is that our boy will often try to walk back in when we pick him up at the end of the day. They seem to genuinely care about the little ones and enjoy being with them. Our little one continued to go to early‑years hub during the lockdown and all of the crew could not have been more supportive and efficient in implementing the ever-changing government advice/instructions. The childcare centre manager greets the youngsters every morning and we always feel as though her caring attitude cascades to the rest of the team. My husband works shifts and they were thrilled to accommodate this by allowing us to provide details of the nursery setting sessions we need a few weeks in advance.

I am delighted to endorse Busy Bees to future parents. I regularly get sent work that she has completed which is lovely to see and overall she is enjoying it. My young lady has been attending Busy Bees Elstow for 10 months, when she initially started I was unsure however the personnel members were exceptionally welcoming in particular – Deputy Manager. 10 months on, my girl is enjoying childcare centre the crew in the baby room and 1-2’s are wonderful, they have good understanding of my child’s needs and provide good feedback at pick up. She has been wonderful to work with and she bonded with my little one from Day 1, which was exceptionally reassuring.

I would wholeheartedly advocate. My youngster is thrilled and enjoys attending early‑years hub. My little one has been going to Busy Bees childcare centre since he was 8 months old, I am exceptionally delighted with the service and attention they have provided over the past 3 years.

The app is a welcome addition as it gives you an insight into their day, I enjoy seeing photos of what they’ve been up to. Staff are cordial and welcoming and I always feel self‑assured my youngsters are getting the best care and attention. The range and variety of food options are excellent my kids both eat really well in childcare centre! We’ve used Busy Bees at Bedford Elstow for childcare for the prior 3.5 years and have always been impressed by the hardworking crew and their commitment to providing excellent childcare.

Lovely early‑years hub which is well managed by the manager and her team. My only criticism is that the toys and equipment need replacing in areas as they look grubby. The noticeable differences to the team morale, organisation and feel of the childcare centre over the prior 6 mths has installed confidence.

The crew are lovely and always give us a little round-up of his morning when we collect him. He only goes 2 mornings a week and we have seen such a positive change in him in a short space of time. We sent our little boy to nursery setting to help his growth and have new experiences from a young age.

This nursery setting has an excellent team and I strongly endorse. The Busy Bees nursery setting were excellent with ensuring I had all the information I required. My young lad started the nursery setting at 6 months old. He has thrived and enjoyed every minute. My boy enjoyed his days at early‑years hub from day one and the crew were always so good in given me feedback that was detailed daily.

The senior of the baby room was fantastic with him, being able to cooperate our home routine into his daily routine at nursery setting. I receive fantastic feedback from the day he has had from the girls in the room. With the app being accessible from my workplace I get daily updates of how he is getting on. He started when he was just 8 months old in the baby room. The girls are extremely involved in my child’s wellbeing by always putting him first and being encouraging when needing reassurance as a parent. My little boy has been at Busy Bees Elstow since 2019. Every day we are welcomed by a welcoming face inviting him into the childcare centre. The room is full of toys representing my child’s current interests, which I see he gets involved in the fun and exciting activities during observations on the app. Fast forward to after lockdown and he is now in the 2-3’s room. I had photos and artwork to bring home every week from the activities he had engaged in during his time at childcare centre.

My little boy enjoys attending and has a good relationship with crew members. He always has good activities to keep him stimulated and team are quick to provide activities which enable him to advancement. Friendly atmosphere, welcoming team and approachable.

I enthusiastically suggest Busy Bees Elstow. I feel he has come on leaps and bounds in his advancement here as crew take a personal interest. He is visibly pleased here and learned all his favourite personnel members’ names within a couple of weeks and gets excited when he sees them each day. Despite it reopening soon after, I ended up staying at Busy Bees Elstow as me and my toddler cherished it so much. I had to move to this early‑years hub during Covid lockdown due to my own childcare centre shutting. They strive to teach him new things and subsequently, get excited to tell you about the things he’s learnt or done that day (which is so lovely to hear as a parent!) The manager is a credit to the early‑years hub and comes to greet each little one, every morning. Despite the early‑years hub size, it has a family vibe and the large garden is great. The team all did such an fantastic job looking after my toddler throughout lockdown and beyond. He’s not even 2 and comes home with new words daily and even has his own special handshake with a member of personnel.
