    The only thing we would say is the turnaround of team has been a lot. There consistently seems to be someone new (teacher). We can’t keep up or even know who they are. Our daughters’ keyworker’s knowledge has really helped our daughter and has definitely made her exceed ready for school. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for 3 1/2 years, in preschool for 1 1/2 years.

    The team are very attentive and attentive and keep me up to date with news and events. My little one has made some excellent friendships and consistently looks forward to going. The food choices are excellent and I delight in hearing about what new things she has learnt. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees for almost 2 years and she loves it.

    I send in observations to share what he loves at home and they will extend that into the childcare centre for him to explore there too.
    Menu’s are NHS accredited and very balanced and cater to all dietary requirements which is remarkable.
    Thank you for all you have done during the pandemic and supporting the kids in the best way you can. The team are all extremely welcoming and welcoming and take a genuine interest in my son.

    Working full time, this gives us absolute peace of mind knowing that she is very cheerful and content. Her discovering has been incredible, we know this is down to the setting that Busy Bees provides for our daughter. We have already referred other people to the childcare centre and will continue to do so at any given opportunity. Thank you for all the adore and care you provide to our daughter. Our daughter started here in January 2016 and has thrived since then, she loves attending childcare centre, quite often running through the door and leaving us behind.

    The team care for your kids and really do put your mind at ease whilst at work. They communicate very well with you and will consistently do as you ask with your kid. Highly suggest. I have both of my kids in this childcare centre and I think even though there have been a lot of changes over the years its definitely gotten a lot better and the right team are now there.

    He enjoys all the activities and the photographs we recieve are lovely to see what he is up to. I’m updated online about how much he has eaten which is supportive to know. I’m just so pleased we managed to find you, my kid’s behaviour can be challenging at times but I have had so much assistance, as has he and we have seen such a positive change. Highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. My kid has recently started this childcare centre and loves all of the team, happily going to each of them who cares for him.

    My son has moved through each room and loves his time at childcare centre. He comes home full of enthusiasm and tells me what he has done during each day. He has great relationships with his peers and team too. The team work well with the parents to ensure a smooth transition in every stage of their journey through childcare centre. My son has been attending Busy Bees for over 2 and a half years, he settled in really well with the help of the outstanding team who are welcoming and extremely approachable.

    We are very pleased with the development he has made socially, his personality has blossomed and he has made a lot of friends. The discovering setting provided, both indoor and outdoor, has ignited an enthusiasm in him for playing, exploring and discovering. He has developed a real interest in role playtime and numbers and carries out related activities at home constantly. The team at Busy Bees have taken the time to discover our son’s interests and this is reflected in the observations and assessments we have seen.
    We would like to thank everybody that has been involved in his time at Busy Bees. His self-belief and self‑assurance have grown dramatically due to the secure and welcoming setting that is present. He talks fondly of the activities he does, the friends he plays with and the adults who help him. We have been very impressed with the Early Years journey our kid has received since joining Busy Bees in July 2016.

    The team in the childcare centre are remarkable with the kids, there are a range of activities carried out throughout the week and my son is consistently coming home telling me about all the different things that he has done throughout the day. He is constantly discovering new things in the pre-school room. All of the team from the management team through to the childcare centre nurses are supportive in every way. If you are looking for a exceptional childcare centre to send your kid to I would suggest Busy Bees at Derby Oakwood without a second thought. My son has been coming to Busy Bees since November 2015 and our whole journey with the childcare centre has been a positive one.

    I was a little nervous about leaving my girl as most new mums would be but the team and management here are remarkable. Since joining Busy Bees, my girl has gained many new skills and she is so confident in her setting there, which echoes out into every day life.

    The childcare centre nurses are incredible and cater to her personal needs from potty training methods used at home to social and emotional assistance when it’s needed. I am very cheerful with the care and enjoyable they provide for my daughter and I can safely say that she loves Busy Bees! The ladies in the office are very welcoming and the manager has personally helped me with any queries and paperwork I’ve had. The childcare centre is spotless and well looked after with an up to date range of activities and challenges for the kids.

    Thank you to all the ladies there for everything they do, they make a huge difference! childcare centre is now something my girl looks forward to! I would wholeheartedly suggest Busy Bees to anyone looking for a childcare provider.

    They have consistently provided a secure and nurturing setting with a spotless open discovering space. Everyone is welcoming and the manager is providing fresh and exciting opportunities. They have been outstanding with my kid who has additional needs and I would suggest them to all parents as my eldest and youngest went there. We have used Busy Bees for 7 years and we have consistently found the team very attentive and supportive.

    My son has developed so much in their care and loves all his friends and the key workers he has had. During the pandemic, I have felt assured that he is spotless and secure and within his bubble and that the childcare centre have kept their promise in sticking by the government guidelines in keeping our kids as secure as possible. I have recommended this childcare centre to many of my friends. Thank you. This childcare centre is extremely, welcoming, welcoming, expert and they adore the kids.

    I get daily updates of her development and behaviour. The team are compassionate and attentive and go out of their way to ensure the best for each kid. I would highly suggest the childcare centre and am very glad I sent my daughter here, it’s great to go to work and not have to worry. The full-time special offer is also very great value for money compared to other nurseries. My daughter has been at Busy Bees since September and I am very impressed with the care that she has received.

    The team and management are remarkable and my kid has come on leaps and bounds since joining with their speech, self‑assurance, eating habits and general engagement with others. My kid is consistently beaming with happiness when I pick her up at the end of the day and clearly loves the time she spends there and the mixture of exceptional activities she is involved in. I wish I had moved her sooner!! I moved my kid from a previous childcare centre and have not looked back since.

    They communicate very well with us at home and I adore how they share the discovering and activities that our daughter has completed in the day. The team work very hard to develop positive relationships with the kids and her key workers clearly care for her. This is reflected by how often our 2-year-old involves them in her imaginative playtime at home. The app is a very great resource to assistance home discovering. I would suggest this setting to any of my mummy friends and know that the childcare centre would look after; foster personal growth and development; and celebrate successes our daughter achieves together. Thank you to everyone who had worked with us so far. Busy Bees at Derby Oakwood has provided an outstanding early start for our little girl.

    They attend Busy Bees Oakwood Monday to Friday and have some fantastic homecooked food and take part in some remarkable activities each day. All the team are so compassionate and take time in creating some enjoyable things for the kids to participate in. The ParentApp is really great which you can access from your phone and it can tell you information about food, nappies and sleep and the occasional photo of them too. All team give kids and parents a inviting welcome each day and I sense cheerful leaving them both there to go to work. I have two sons at this childcare centre; one in preschool and another in toddlers and they have both come on leaps and bounds.

    My kid has come on so well since being there and has made friends already. My kid loves childcare centre they have all made him sense really welcome and now he looks forward to going to childcare centre instead of crying.

    Her language and responses to the slightly silly mummy and daddy show what an outstanding provision Busy Bees in Oakwood has to offer – she modelled positive playtime and interaction, kindness and discovering.
    She is clearly surrounded by team members who really care for her (and the other kids) using compassionate and consistent language that our little girl could model to those around her.
    As parents, we want to know that our kids are secure, looked after and cheerful and Busy Bees offers that.
    If the phrase, “out of the mouths of babes” means anything, then our little girl rates Busy Bees highly. Our 2-year-old has come home tonight and has been role-playing “childcare centre” today with Mummy and Daddy being the kids­.

    I sense content to leave my kids here and know they are secure. I have been using Busy Bees for 3 years and cannot fault the team at all. The setting is very inclusive to all kids. I would suggest this childcare centre to others as I am so cheerful in the service my family has received. A remarkable childcare centre that really takes the time and effort to give the kids activities and memories.

    She really enjoyed her time at childcare centre and the team were very welcoming. When I picked up she was consistently cheerful and she was consistently bringing artwork home. My daughter started at 8 months old and left when she was 4 years old.
