    My daughter has been here since turning one, she is now three and thriving in the preschool ‘buzz’. She only attends part-time, each time she comes home she has learnt something new. This is down to the wonderful team who look after her and guide her learning. She is always excited to go to nursery and has lots of friends.
    The communication is good, via email which suits me, there are regular events that I can go to. We have recently found out my daughter has a nut allergy, the nursery have been great with this and put my mind at ease with having all the correct measures in place and knowing the nursery is nut free. There are set menus which change with the seasons and as a vegetarian, my daughter eats a wide variety of foods. The nursery has recently been refurbished and the spaces have been improved and the garden is a wonderful place for the children to play and learn in. My daughter is a confident happy bright little girl and attending this nursery has definitely helped with this.

    Fantastic team at Rockingham Road. Everyone has made my experience very lovely.

    My son enjoys every moment when he is there and has been welcomed by everybody. He has settled in nicely and loves lots of fun time in the garden with the sand pit and water.

    We love having daily written communication as well as face to face care.

    I would highly recommend this nursery.

    My son has been attending Kettering Central since August 2017 – he was 7 months old.
    My son is now 26 months and he cannot wait to get up in the mornings to go and see, not only the children but the staff as well.
    He is so confident and clever and really independent now. I get told all the time that his speech is amazing and he’s a very clever little boy. I always say that the nursery plays a massive part in that.
    As for the general running of the nursery, the staff are very good at communicating with you about your child and anything that may be going on within the nursery. The staff really take the time to know you and your child and the bond each and every staff member has with my son is very special. Honestly, I’ll be sad when it’s time for him to leave.
    I would highly recommend Kettering Central to anyone and not to mention their most recent Ofsted was outstanding!

    Our daughter has been at the nursery since 2017 and we have seen many changes since then. When times were tough on the staff, they always tried their hardest to ensure the kids were not affected or asked us what they could do to ensure we were satisfied with the nursery. All of the feedback we gave was listened to by the manager and she has done a great job turning everything around and making it better than it was before. Communication is great, the rooms are clean and tidy. Staff are passionate and most importantly our daughter and now baby son love their days there.

    I truly believe a nursery is only as good as its staff and the staff at Busy Bees are fantastic. The nursery is well managed and the nursery manager takes a hands-on approach spending lots of time with the children. All the staff know my child really well showing genuine care and enthusiasm. There is always a big smile waiting for him at the door when he arrives and the staff take the time to share little things he has done when I pick him up.
    My child (age 3 when he started 8 months ago) was initially very anxious about going to nursery, having never been left anywhere before. I can’t believe the transformation now. The nursery really focuses on independence and following the interests of the child and this shines through.
    The nursery have dealt really well with the challenges of COVID and I felt confident to send him back when they re-opened. If you are looking for a nursery that will truly care for your child as an individual then Busy Bees Central is a good choice for you.

    Easy to organise first visit and taster sessions for my son. Everyone seems pleasant and very friendly. Not overly expensive. Central to our location. We get a mini update everyday at collection which is great.

    I couldn’t sing the praises of the nursery anymore! They go above and beyond on a daily basis to cater to the needs of all children in a friendly and colourful environment. There are lots of carefully planned activities and free play of which the staff do their best to capture in observations for us parents. I have never doubted my decision for both of my children to attend.

    My two year old always comes out smiling and I am kept updated throughout the day with what he is doing including pictures, the staff have been great getting him settled into his new room and I am so happy he has a place there.

    My daughter has come leaps and bounds and I couldn’t be happier. She’s learnt so much not just academically but socially too, knowing and reacting to different people and situations. She’s an absolute gem and she couldn’t be happier.

    Excellent nursery. Our child is in the preschool group. He enjoy going to nursery every day.
    Very nice teachers and very well organised. Lots of activities indoor and outdoor. Meals are fresh and enjoyed by our child. A lot of Covid-19 measures put in place for the children’s safety.

    I would recommend Busy Bees Kettering Central that my daughter has attended. My daughter absolutely loves the staff members, especially her key worker. The staff members I met and spoke to are absolutely lovely and it is easy to speak to all of them.

    Staff are wonderful and always helpful. My daughter has settled in nicely and loves the staff in her room. A good variety of activities to suit the times of the year like Mother’s Day, Christmas and Diwali.

    My daughter loves the preschool here and has learnt so much since she started. It’s lovely seeing her make new friends and thrive. The staff here are truly amazing and I can’t recommend Busy Bees Kettering Central enough.

    Our child has been at the nursery since around eight months old and is now two and a half. We are really happy with the experience we’ve had. The staff are extremely caring and we quickly felt very comfortable and confident leaving our child in their care, knowing he’s safe and happy. We feel our child’s development is really well supported by the nursery and all reviews and observations seem spot on with what we see at home. The garden space is a particularly lovely aspect of the nursery.

    Our daughter started the nursery when she was one years old and is now two and a half. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining. The staff are all so lovely and we trust them completely. We have been so impressed with how the nursery has handled everything with Covid-19 and we’d have been lost without them!

    From the moment I walked into Busy Bees Kettering Central I knew it was the nursery for me. The staff felt like family. My daughter grows in her development each week that passes with flying colours and I have the fantastic teams to thank for that. I just wish I could send her Monday too Friday. I don’t know what I’m going to do when she leaves for school in August.

    All three of my children have attended this nursery, my youngest from fourteen weeks old. He is now nearly three and wants to go to nursery at the weekend too! The staff are so caring and make the feel children so relaxed and at home, as well as helping them thrive and meet their milestones. Highly recommend this nursery.

    The nursery is great ! All of the staff are very friendly and accepting. I have also noticed that my child has developed a lot since going to this nursery as the staff spend a lot of 1 to 1 with the children.

    There’s a couple of people who work there that my daughter instantly connected with. Her speech has come on so much, she talks so clearly and she’s learning her numbers shapes and colours so fast. She’s always so happy when she comes out and when she goes in.

    Since joining Busy Bees Kettering Central my sons development has come on so far, he’s a lot more sociable and is showing so many signs of learning new things and developing! The staff are so lovely and always welcoming, I feel so happy knowing he’s in safe hands whilst at nursery. Could not recommend Busy Bees Kettering Central and their staff more!
