    My kid is well looked after here and enjoys there time here. I’ve also noticed how my kid’s development has improved. The childcare centre has lovely team who consistently take there time at the end of my kid’s session to tell me what my kid has been doing. The childcare centre keeps in constant contact which I think is very important with upcoming events etc. This childcare centre was recommended by a family member so glad I was recommended this childcare centre. Would highly suggest this childcare centre to friends and family.

    My son has attended here since 11 months old and now at 3 is enjoying the preschool room.
    The team are kid focused and will work with you to develop a routine around your kid and not what works best for the majority. They are consistently willing to listen to your experiences with your kid and work hard to create a home from home for your little one.
    I have consistently found the childcare centre policies to be very robust, easy to follow and secure for all. I have had few causes to complain but when I have flagged an issue it has been dealt with quickly and with care by all management.
    They have recently begun providing breakfasts for parents on the run and their extracurricular opportunities such as Mother’s Day brunch and grandparents day are a lovely touch.
    I am very pleased with our choice of childcare centre and our soon to be born second kid already has their name down for a place in the future. Cannot suggest Busy Bees Gillingham enough.

    He has progressed so much, we see a change after every session.
    The childcare centre is so supportive, they cater for all needs required. Team are extremely lovely, very welcoming and welcoming. I’m glad we made the decision for our son to attend Busy Bees at Gillingham. I adore seeing how cheerful and confident he is now. I would suggest this childcare centre 100%. My son absolutely loves coming here to the childcare centre.

    My daughter has attended since she was eleven months and thoroughly enjoys it. If we haven’t left home early enough she’s trying to push me out of the door.

    Her self‑assurance is incredible and she learns every single day. I get updates on her development daily and a parents evening regularly to see her file which is full of pictures and reviews.

    I sense like the team genuinely care about my daughter’s development and actively engage with us to ensure we are working together to provide the best care. The management takes every comment seriously and acts on all feedback in a positive way.

    10/10, I enrolled my son before he was born and have no hesitation recommending this childcare centre to my friends! I cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough.

    As soon as we put him in busy bees Gillingham the atmosphere the team and the whole set up gave me a feeling of comfort knowing he was going to adore it and he does. He started in the baby room and is now in preschool and he loves the time he spends there. His key workers and all the others in his room pay particular attention to his needs and his likes and dislikes and consistently give us a excellent account of his day spent when we collect him. Any issues we may have had have been swiftly and promptly resolved and we have loved all of his key workers he has had in his time so far. Although this childcare centre is a little far out for us to get to we have been willing to make the daily journeys sit is a excellent place for my son and I can get to work each day knowing he is going to have a excellent day. My son has consistently been a complex character and therefore we really struggled to get him settled into his brother’s childcare centre.

    The team are so approachable, attentive and expert. The structure and activities for the kids are remarkable and my son has thrived under their supervision. My son has transitioned from this childcare centre to his school almost seamlessly and I believe this is down to the hard work the team had put in preparing him for the transfer of the setting.
    Being a first time mum with a struggle of leaving my son in the care of others, I couldn’t have hoped for a better journey. Please do not make the same mistake as I did and assume that higher Ofsted settings are superior and better for your kid, I wished I had placed my son in this setting from the off. If I had, I would have had more value for money and an even more content kid and self‑assurance in his care. I’m grateful for the quality of care and assistance given to my son during the past year and the positive impact this journey will have on his future. This childcare centre has such a welcoming and family orientated atmosphere, it’s like a home from home.

    She is kept busy and stimulated and has lots of friends here. I am very cheerful with the service we receive and would definitely suggest to a friend. My daughter has been going to this branch of Busy Bees for one year and she thoroughly enjoys it.

    All of the team are welcoming, have a smile on their face and are cheerful to answer any questions. My daughter is only 9months and is consistently cheerful when I pick her up. The team thoroughly talk me through what my daughter has been up to; what she’s played, what’s she’s eaten, how much milk she’s had and what her nappies were like.
    Overall, very pleased. My kid began attending this childcare centre in January and has settled in really well.

    He has had a remarkable bond with each key person he has been assigned. They continuously keep me informed on his development. I really delight in looking through his discovering journey. The few minor concerns I have had, have been addressed immediately by the management team. To that end, I would definitely suggest this childcare centre to another parent! My son has been attending Busy Bees since he was six months old and has just started in the 2-3 years room.

    She loves her key worker and loves turning up every morning. She has made friends and we have noticed that she had come out of her shell and I can see that she is growing into a confident young lady and the childcare centre has a lot to do with that. I’m so pleased we chose this childcare centre. Our daughter started here full time in July 2017 and we couldn’t be more pleased with the childcare centre.

    Even on days when she is a little unsettled and upset, I leave with full knowledge and comfort that the team do their best to settle her and she goes on to have excellent days there! The team couldn’t be more supportive and welcoming and consistently accommodating when needed. I couldn’t suggest enough. My little girl has thrived at this childcare centre.

    He is sociable, has made friends and has developed a lovely little personality. The childcare centre has worked with him on a number of things and he is now great with colours, numbers and is consistently running around the house singing childcare centre rhymes. So much of this is down to the childcare centre.
    The team are lovely and consistently willing to help out with anything you need. A real welcoming and attentive setting and couldn’t wish for a better childcare centre for my son to attend. Since starting at childcare centre my son has progressed in leaps and bounds.

    Working full time was not an easy choice but knowing how much they care for the kids and how cheerful our daughter is, makes it easier. So glad we chose this childcare centre for our little legs. Our daughter loves the childcare centre, the team are welcoming and make the effort to know the kids and parents.

    Very cheerful with the care and assistance my daughter receives.
    Being very little, they have purchased resources to aid her development.

    Now his independence grows on a daily basis. He adores his key worker and loves every member of team that he has come into contact with. My 3-year-old son had attachment issues before starting at Busy Bees.

    From enquiring about a space to her starting, nothing has been too much trouble. The team are all so compassionate and welcoming and my daughter’s key worker is exceptional in keeping me up to date with her development. I had looked at a lot of nurseries before I decided on Busy Bees and instantly as I walked in, I knew my daughter would be secure and cheerful there. They do so many activities and my daughter’s speech has come on so much in the short time she has been there.
    It’s such a hard decision leaving your kid in the hands of someone else, so thank you Busy Bees for making it that bit easier to do. I honestly cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough! My daughter has only been at the childcare centre for a few months but we are so impressed with it all.

    I have trouble sometimes getting my little boy through the door due to separation anxiety’s, however, the team handle him incredible! They know I worry a lot and will make sure they contact me if it’s been a bad morning to keep my mind at rest. My little boy seems to delight in his time there and also delight in their food as he seems to eat more there than he does at home! It is a very spotless well looked after childcare centre and I do not have any concerns about my kid’s safety or well-being when he attends! Would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone, team are incredible!

    We have recently returned in October 2017 to the childcare centre and the atmosphere in the childcare centre is inviting and welcome still and the team are all very welcoming and welcoming. My son absolutely loves the team here and make him sense at home and he never wants to leave to come to his actual home.

    I would 100% suggest this childcare centre to any parent who is nervous leaving their kids when returning to work as the kids are all cheerful and the building is spotless and well looked after.

    All the team are expert and polite and you can really tell the team care about every kid in the childcare centre. When I first visited the childcare centre in 2016 my son felt comfortable straight away as the team are all very welcoming and make you sense welcome.

    My daughter has been going since Sept 2017. Any mum will know it is a hard and stressful time trying to find the right childcare centre and leaving your kid for the first time. I went and visited multiple nurseries at first and believed this was the best childcare centre I visited out of a possible 8+. My daughter enjoys her time there, she is consistently smiling when I drop her off and excited to see her key worker which is a excellent feeling. They are very informative and when I leave her I sense confident she is having enjoyable and being well looked after, which is all I want. The rooms are consistently spotless and full of toys and the team are all welcoming, approachable and attentive. Cannot fault this childcare centre at all! Highly suggest this childcare centre.
