    I can’t fault the childcare centre at all, the team are all incredible and consistently provide excellent activities for the kids. The facilities are excellent, there is consistently something for them to do, my son loves playing with all the different things and especially loves the garden! Overall I’m highly pleased I chose Busy Bees as my son’s childcare centre. My son currently attends the childcare centre and has been attending for 2 and a half years, he enjoys every session and consistently looks forward to going.

    He eats well and it is a varied menu. He loves the outdoor space and has made the transition into the toddler room without a problem. I have used other childcare providers and this is the best. My son loves childcare centre and all the team are outstanding he settled in straight away and is consistently cheerful going in and leaving.

    A expert but welcoming setting which my daughter thoroughly enjoys going to.
    I sense cheerful and confident to leave her in their hands and if I have any concerns the team there are all approachable.
    We are both enjoying the activities that are happening during December with the lead up to Christmas.
    I would highly suggest the childcare centre to my friends, family and colleagues.

    My first kid started in 2010 and my second kid is due to go to school this September. I truly sense that it is an end of an era and not only will my kid miss the daily routine of attending, I will miss the welcoming, well‑informed and supportive team.

    Having attended the childcare centre for the last seven years, both my kids have grown to be confident, welcoming and independent, all of which I am sure Busy Bees have played a huge part in supporting me to achieve. I cannot thank the manager and her team more. Both my kids have attended Busy Bees Kettering.

    She has developed so much in self‑assurance and learns new things every day. The team and kids have become her extended family. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees since 2013 and had travelled through the childcare centre from babies to pre-school.

    My son was shy and reserved but with time he became more comfortable through the assistance of educators. The kids have fantastic meals prepared by a expert chef. The classes are big and spacious as well as the playgrounds. Educators are attentive to parents request and ensure parents are involved in activities. My son loves his Busy Bees cuddly toy that he received for Christmas and keeps it on his bed. I would use Busy Bees again and suggest to friends and family. Busy Bees is highly spotless and they encourage independence to kids.

    We are truly pleased we choose Busy Bees. We will be sad when our youngest goes to school this year. Both my kids have been at Busy Bees childcare centre and have had the best start in life.

    My daughter has attended since she was 9 months old and has blossomed into a vibrant well mannered young girl. She has been full time since she started and due to that, I owe most of how she has grown, to the team there. Everyone is remarkable and nothing was too much, even cuddling her to sleep (she had a sleep issue when she was a baby) and they did it to help her nap, which I was so worried about. Fast forward now, she has 3 months left to go and it will be a huge part of her life that she has to leave soon and I know she will miss everything and everyone there. The team from those who work in babies to preschool and the excellent chefs who interact with the kids, makes the setting, one, you never have to worry about leaving your kid in. I could not suggest Busy Bees, Venture Park enough!

    We looked at a lot of nurseries in the area and this one truly stood out for us. We are so pleased we chose Busy Bees in Kettering. Our daughter is able to spend a lot of time outside in the garden and playground and loves visiting the allotment and forest school on site. The childcare centre has been incredible in supporting us with our daughter’s allergies and health issues and we have no hesitation that they are giving her the best care. She absolutely adores her key worker and team and they’re such welcoming people that we sense confident she’s having the best possible time. They truly pay attention to her personality and what she likes to do, she is consistently making things and being creative. We adore getting updates and photos sent through on the app so we can sense in touch with what she’s discovering. The childcare centre itself has lots of parking and is a fantastic facility. We wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Busy Bees in Kettering and we can’t thank them enough. Our daughter started at Busy Bees in Kettering back in July.

    He enjoys his time at childcare centre and comes home telling us everything he has done in the day, who he has played with and what he has eaten. His speech is constantly improving, he’s trying different food all the time and generally doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. His happiness speaks volumes about how much the team do to help him develop and it allows us to return to work with peace of mind that we have made the right decision about the childcare centre he goes to. Thank you to all. Since attending Busy Bees in Kettering, my son has come on leaps and bounds.

    I cannot fault the team or facilities one bit. I have had two kids in this childcare centre from 2018 to present the manager and her team go above and beyond for our kids, I know when I pick him up he has been cared for fed well and had enjoyable.

    My youngest daughter that attends at present cannot get enough hours of the day to be here. This is my 3rd daughter to attend Busy Bees in Kettering and all 3 adore/loved coming.
    The team are highly welcoming and attentive.

    However, the team and manager could not have been more welcoming and understanding which has truly made a difference. All the team are welcoming and greet you with a smile even if they are not in the room my daughter is in, and our daughter’s key person has truly tried to understand our daughter and what would help her settle and sense more at ease. I also get a full debrief when I collect her meaning I know exactly how she is getting on. It’s a lovely setting where she has already done crafts to bring home and seems to be settling truly well. I am sure she is going to adore it. Our daughter recently started at Busy Bees and I was worried how she would settle given how new it was for both of us.

    He is sometimes a little apprehensive when we drop him off but the team are remarkable at reassuring him. Our son consistently enjoys the activities and is happily joining in with a beaming smile on his face when we come to collect him. We have also found the management team highly accommodating and supportive to our needs. Excellent outdoor space; forest school; and fabulous fresh, home cooked food. A truly excellent setting. Our son attends childcare centre once a week.

    The opportunities provided are truly supporting my daughter’s development and she truly enjoys childcare centre and has a great relationship with the team. Feedback is great, so I consistently know what she has been doing and how she has been. The parent app is excellent and enables me to be updated during the day and to see the photos is incredible. I cannot fault the care and assistance provided by all team, not just my daughter’s key worker.

    It is an outstanding, welcoming, secure and enjoyable setting.
    We chose this particular childcare centre not only due to the high standards maintained but also the general attitude of team, the parking facility, forest school and the yummy meals.
    Our son joined during the summer of lockdown 2020 and graduated in July 2021.
    The manager leads a expert and remarkable team all-round!
    We’d particularly like to say thank you to the manager, her team and the Chef for all of their assistance and hard work in helping us to develop our son’s road to big school.

    Massive thank you. We highly suggest Busy Bees Venture Park!

    I wasn’t sure about sending him to one at all at first but as soon as I walked into Busy Bees in Kettering I was bowled over by the organisation of how it is run and by the friendliness of the team. You consistently sense listened to. I know my son is highly cheerful there and he has a lovely bond with the team especially his fantastic keyworker. Would definitely suggest. My son is highly content at childcare centre.

    I am glad I chose Busy Bees in Kettering for my daughter, she has had the best start in life. My daughter started in babies and is now in pre-school, she has loved each room she has been in and each key person she has had, she has a built a bond with!

    Busy Bees in Kettering has been outstanding in the care and attention for our daughter.
    We consider the team to be extended family and friends and my daughter has remarkable relationships here.
    We couldn’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else and sense at east dropping her off each morning knowing she has such a remarkable time.

    The childcare centre has implemented a new system where nappy changes, food, observations and pictures are posted daily and are up to date. Although this is the new system; when my daughter is brought out at the end of the day the members of team still like to chat about how her day went and give more detail which is lovely. My daughter runs into childcare centre in the morning and consistently comes out with a smile on her face.
