    My daughter is very cheerful there. My daughter really enjoys going. They have a lovely outdoor space. The menu is varied and my daughter seems to eat well. Outstanding team, very attentive and accommodating.

    I would highly suggest sending your kid here. The team are exceptional I don’t have to worry about leaving her as I know she will have a excellent day and be well looked after. They send updates on the app, I like that they keep me informed and educate her as well as playtime. She has progressed so much in her development since coming here. My daughter has been going there since she was one year old.

    He’s so cheerful there, his speech and development have come on leaps and bounds and his self‑assurance grows by the day! I drop him off with a smile and he’s consistently cheerful when he comes home. He also now eats such a variety of foods after trying it at childcare centre.
    The team are all so lovely and supportive! I wouldn’t have him anywhere else. Thank you Busy Bees! My two-year-old has been going to Busy Bees since last summer 2022 and he absolutely loves it!

    The outdoor space is excellent and they consistently have excellent activities lined up. Updates has been excellent from the beginning. Highly suggest Busy Bees Hempstead. The team have been fantastic at settling our little one in, nothing is too much trouble!

    He has thrived there and grown in self‑assurance. I adore hearing him talk about his friends and getting photo updates on the app. The team are welcoming and consistently make a fuss over my little one. My second baby boy will be starting next year as well. My son started at Busy Bees at eight months old and is now three in the pre-school room.

    My son attended here many years ago so I had every self‑assurance in Busy Bees Hempstead to welcome my youngest one. All the team are so welcoming and I have no worries leaving my daughter with the girls here. I adore the app facility which is updated throughout the day with what she gets up to, what she’s eaten and nappy changes. I would highly suggest it. My daughter started here just over a month ago and she has settled in so well and so quickly, especially since she is a lockdown baby!

    Being concerned myself about everything that was going on with Covid, Busy Bess Hempstead were completing understanding of the situation and gave me and my son all the assistance required! My son loves going into childcare centre and is consistently smiling when he gets dropped off and when he gets picked up. The team are very welcoming and updates is very great! I adore seeing the pictures of what he has been getting up too! Definitely suggest! My son started after the February half term when I was due back to work after maternity.

    They run in every morning and often don’t even say goodbye.
    Every member of team is welcoming and consistently has a smile on their face. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are expert at all times.
    Every day when you pick up the kids you get feedback on how their day has been and they keep you updated on the app also.
    I would highly suggest any parents looking for a childcare centre that Busy Bees is the best in Hempstead.
    Thank you to all the team for consistently being so incredible and making it stress-free for working parents! Both my daughter (3.5 years) and my son (18 months) attend Busy Bees and they both absolutely adore it there.

    I was super anxious about him going because he was such a mummies boy he wouldn’t even go to his nanny and grandad easily. Very clingy! Also at the time covid was still around so another worry! The childcare centre reassured us of the protocols and they were on it with everything! First impressions were incredible as we met the manager and instantly felt at ease and also our son did which was incredible! He now just turned two and has been attending two mornings a week since he runs into childcare centre and asks daily to go which says it all. The team are very attentive and attentive and I am completely at ease when sending my son there. Thank you so much to the manager and the incredible team! Sent my boy just after he turned one.

    Both of our kids attend the preschool and childcare centre rooms. I like that they teach as well as playtime as some nurseries I toured it seemed to be more like a holding pen for cattle (in my opinion)! We have a lot of information sent home about the kids, notices and dates for our diary. This is exceptional as I can plan for the forthcoming events/changes. The team are extremely welcoming and easy to communicate with. It is in a grey location and parking isn’t an issue. From what I can see the childcare centre is kept spotless but because of COVID we’re not able to enter. From start to present I have been extremely cheerful with Busy Bees at Hempstead.

    Both kids have settled so well and so quickly. All team we speak to are welcoming and expert and I can tell they really take the time to get to know the kids. Definitely suggest! We had to change nurseries unexpectedly and Busy Bees at Hempstead have completely exceeded my expectations.

    All the team are so lovely and really care, he absolutely loves coming here. I’m cheerful leaving him for the day because I know he will have a excellent time. Couldn’t suggest them enough. My son has been going to busy bee’s since March this year, and he has come on such a long way since starting thanks to their extra help.

    Now my youngest attends the toddler room and more than loves it. I think she wants to attend more sessions. When I drive close to where the childcare centre is, she gets excited. The team are all lovely, very supportive (I do ask a lot of questions), consistently smiley and best of all the kids have a huge variety of foods to try, which helps massively at home. Could not have asked for a better childcare centre for both my kids. Thank you! My eldest attended the preschool at Busy Bees and loved it.

    From the first day he started and ever since he is excited to get into childcare centre!
    His development has been incredible and I think that the childcare centre and its practitioners have a big part to playtime in this.
    He has made friends and it’s a joy to see how cheerful he is there! I highly suggest it. My son has been at the childcare centre since he turned 1 year old in May 2022.

    Adore the team and the excellent bond they have built with my son.
    The team are consistently quick to answer any questions I have and keep us updated on any changes.
    The app is a excellent feature as we are sent pictures and can see what my son has eaten.
    He loves it there! A lovely setting.

    She settled in quickly and the team have been incredible throughout her time here in all 3 of the rooms. She has consistently enjoyed going here with no tears at drop offs and she comes out cheerful, talking about her day and the enjoyable activities she’s been up to which have really helped her development. The app is useful showing you what they’ve eaten throughout the day and it’s lovely to see the photos/observations of her taking part in activities and having enjoyable with her friends. I cannot suggest it highly enough and I am so glad we decided to send her here. My son will also be starting next year and I hope he enjoys it as much! My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Hempstead since February 2019 when she turned 1 and she will soon leave the preschool room to start school.

    All of the team made his settling period quick and as pain-free as possible (emotional mother right here). His self‑assurance in himself has rocketed and he has really started to come out of his shell – particularly when it has come to his talking. He has become more adventurous in terms of trying new foods and overall, I couldn’t be happier with the development he has made since going to Busy Bees. My son has been attending Busy Bees childcare centre since December 2022 and he has come on leaps and bounds since going.

    He absolutely loves Busy Bees at Hempstead and all the team. The app is exceptional and I adore getting updates throughout the day, it gives me reassurance that my son is okay. I can notice a difference in his development and can tell that the childcare centre focuses on development every day, and I really like the development updates through the app. The variety of food is really great, as well as the quantity. The childcare centre itself is very spotless and well maintained with a wide range of toys and the garden/outside facilities are also to a high standard. I couldn’t suggest Busy Bees at Hempstead enough. I couldn’t be happier with how my son has settled in.

    The team are all lovely and welcoming I really do sense like they give their best all the time which makes me at rest while I’m at work knowing my daughter is taken care of and is secure. They are consistently doing different games and crafts that I wouldn’t normally do at home. Also, the photo updates on the app are consistently excellent to see my daughter throughout the day. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees since November 2021 and she has learnt so much, her self‑assurance has grown and her personality and speech have come along so well.

    Due to lockdown, he was very wary of new environments and people as he had spent 6- months with just me and my husband. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, so much so it prompted us to send our youngest at the same age in February this year. They both go in with no problems and delight in their time there too. I am updated continuously throughout the day with what they have eaten and have done and are doing. The team are welcoming and welcoming and you can tell they really delight in seeing each kid’s personality come through as they grow in self‑assurance. My youngest son also has a few food-related allergies and I sense so at ease sending him as they are so in-depth with what he can and can’t have. Overall, a remarkable childcare centre that I would suggest to anyone. My eldest son started the childcare centre in September 2021 just after he turned one.
