    My son started nursery in 2016 at 10 months old, I had every emotion running through me and I was assured by the very caring and well-managed team every time I dropped off, picked up or phoned that my son was loving his time at Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood. My son has thrived from being at this nursery and the team that work here do everything to make sure his best interests are cared for. As a first-time parent, I felt comfortable in asking the staff if/when there were things I should be doing to further his development or things he should be achieving that he yet wasn’t, and I was always given positive answers and feedback on how my son was developing. I’m sad to think that he will be leaving this place next year for school. The children really are the heart of Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.

    We have found Busy Bees Pinewood to be excellent, from management staff to the wonderful ladies looking after our son. After an emotional start when our son was 9 months we have been reassured every step of the way! They cater well for his dietary needs and we always collect a very happy little boy! I always recommend the nursery to everyone and anyone!

    Both of my girls have attended Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.
    The older one has just left having attended since 10 months old and is now school ready and my younger one is in the baby room.
    The level of care for my girls has always been excellent and their key workers have met with me and spoken at handovers at length about how they are getting on and helped to settle them in. It’s a lovely learning environment with friendly welcoming staff who genuinely care for your children.

    Overall I was satisfied with the nursery over the years my son spent there. Babies rooms are very good sensory and care too. Preschool is excellent in every meaning, care, activities, staff, food and drink. My son has lots of interesting things and built and a very good relationship with his key worker. Thank you for your brilliant and lovely staff (including office and kitchen staff) and for looking after my son over the past years. We are very grateful.

    Both my children have been cared for at Busy Bees Pinewood since they were 11 months old. It is such a welcoming place, and although it is hard to leave your little ones, it makes it so much easier knowing they are in such a wonderful environment. It feels like a family. My son is 7. Everyone still remembers his name and takes time to have a chat with him too. Would recommend to anyone. Friendly staff who genuinely care for your children.

    My daughter has attended the nursery since seven months old and she has honestly thrived and grown so much since then. The whole atmosphere of the nursery is amazing and everyone is so friendly too, such amazing activities go on in the baby room and I can tell when I pick her up she’s had so much fun! Her interactions with others have massively improved and this is definitely down to the activities that promote this area. She really enjoys the meals that get cooked for her at the nursery and I am just so pleased with how well looked after she really is. All the staff go above and beyond to care for my little girl and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

    Our little boy has been going to Busy Bees Pinewood since he was 9 months old and we cannot speak highly enough of the nursery. All the staff are so friendly and really take the time to get to know the children and the parents too. We always feel we are updated with what our little boy is doing and that they really help with his progress.

    Our daughter has attended this nursery since she was nine months old. We were sold as soon as we attended an open day. The nursery and staff are brilliant throughout. Our daughter loves attending and we never have issues dropping her off. Plenty of free parking for drops offs. Different activities each day, the rooms are large, clean and engaging. Great events held during the year. Our daughter loves mealtimes, the food is cooked fresh on-site and varies frequently. We love receiving the updates daily and pictures of her enjoying the day. Communication with staff is great, they always want to hear what she has been up and encourage to help with her development. A good size private garden for the children and you can hear the laughter when you approach. Good security measures and checks at the front of the building. Couldn’t recommend enough, book a visit, they will not disappoint.

    My first child attended since he was a year old and he came on leaps and bounds in confidence, so I enrolled my last child here also. The staff are truly decent people and they go out of their way to make children happy. Both of mine greets me with gummy smiles (my baby) or recounting stories of the day. Lovely place.

    Our son has attended since he was 9 months old. The staff at Busy Bees were amazing. They helped him grow and develop and he had a good experience. The staff had good knowledge and supported him in any way possible.

    Nursery staff always appear pleasant and informative on my Daughter’s day, with what she has taken part in, eaten, and progress.
    I am very happy with the nursery and feel my daughter has learnt so much already, academically and socially.
    My Daughter also appears to enjoy nursery with no issues at drop off and beaming smiles and cuddles when she is collected.

    My daughter has flourished at this nursery and I couldn’t be happier with her care or progress. Throughout the pandemic, they have put each child first and ensured their safety throughout.
    I only have brilliant things to say.

    I knew from the second I walked in that Busy Bees was the right nursery for my daughter who is now in pre-school at Busy Bees and still is the best decision I made. My daughter was a very shy little girl and has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence, the staff are all an absolute delight and will forever be thankful to them for taking care and helping/contributing toward making her the confident little girl she is today.

    The nursery is definitely one of the worst choices we made as parents. We put a lot of trust in the nursery as regards to our son’s welfare but were completely let down.
    Our son is a happy little fella and hardly ever made a fuss about going to nursery and suddenly became teary whenever we approached the nursery.
    Even after we raised the concern there was no correspondence from the nursery to deal with the issues raised and rather we were only contacted to confirm if we would still be paying for the sessions our son didn’t attend (which we paid for anyway). It was quite sad really.
    Something wasn’t right and it wasn’t investigated.
    Anyway, our son is in a different nursery now and he is back to his happy little self again.
    We have been told that he is always in a good mood.

    My son has been at Busy Bees now for almost 2 years. He started just one day a week and has now increased to three full days a week. Since being at this nursery he has thrived and developed greatly in all areas. The staff had him potty trained and dry within a week and his speech is incredible and he isn’t even 3 yet. The staff care for him like family and he loves them too. The app is updated daily with toilet, sleep and food updates and they upload any pictures of activities being undertaken. I cannot recommend this nursery and the staff enough!

    My, just over, 2 year old has been going to this nursery since she was 10 months to have childcare for 2 days of the week when daddy is also at work. She loves her days there as is always quick in the door with a little wave goodbye. The nursery provides a safe location and premise for our children and the staff are always there to update you on the child’s day. Looking forward to seeing how she progresses over the next year as she goes through the other age rooms.

    The best nursery we could have found our son. He started at 11 months, attended throughout Covid with all the restrictions and is now in his last few weeks with the nursery. Throughout the entire experience, our son’s needs came first and nothing was too much for the staff. He formed very close relationships to all the nursery workers in his room, and extra special ones with his key workers – which made it easier and more reassuring leaving him. All the staff have always been lovely and helpful with any enquiries etc.
    Having just attended the school leavers graduation, it is really clear how much extra effort the staff put in, to give the children the absolute best experiences. I cannot thank them all enough throughout the years for helping, teaching and growing our little baby into a kind and caring little boy. You really are all amazing.

    Lovely nursery both my kids have gone here and my son leaves at the end of August to start primary school. I’ve never had any problems and my kids have loved it and helped them grow and the staff are amazing.
