Busy Bees Maidstone Allington

My daughter has attended Busy Bees at Maidstone Allington for over a year now. She had very bad separation anxiety due to our past but the staff at Busy Bees have been absolutely excellent with her.
She’s a fussy eater but with the help and encouragement from the staff she will now try anything and everything!
She absolutely loves going to nursery and enjoys learning new things, she’s come on leaps and bounds since starting.
They really keep parents up to date with everything that occurs in the nursery from your child’s daily activities to awesome days that they plan hard for the children such as dressing up days etc.
I am forever thankful to the centre director and the team as they have helped not only my daughter but myself too when I have come to them for advice etc to help my daughter progress.
They are always there to lend a supporting hand and I cannot recommend Busy Bees at Maidstone Allington enough!
My unborn child will also be attending when his time comes.

My granddaughter has had a wonderful time here, she gets on well with all the adults in her year group and also with the children, she looks forward to going and seeing everyone. I would recommend the nursery highly, for fun and education and forming social skills outside of the home.

Our baby started at Busy Bees at Maidstone Allington in July 2020 after months of being locked down with just his parents for company.
Our first impression of the nursery was one of such a warm and welcoming environment which was really important to us as our baby was quite shy at the time.
We were incredibly impressed by the personalised approach taken not just to each child’s educational development, but their personal development too, and we have really seen the difference that investment has made in our baby who has flourished in confidence since joining the nursery.
Each member of staff who works in the room seems to have gone out of their way to establish a wonderful relationship with each of the children. In addition the children in each bubble appear to develop really strong friendships at the nursery.
Communication between the nursery and parents is good with opportunities to converse at drop-off/pick-up, via email and via a parent app too.

My son has attended this nursery for the last year and a half and absolutely loves it. The outside space is amazing and they are outside every day no matter the weather even if it is for a short time. He has a great group of other kids that he plays with and has formed strong bonds with his key workers who genuinely take an interest in his development. The food is cooked on-site and I am always happy that he gets a wide range of nutritious food. Overall I would highly recommend this nursery – my son actually gets disappointed on a weekend when he doesn’t get to go!

Being new to the area and being a first-time parent it was hard to know where to start with nurseries but I had seen a few Busy Bees locally so was familiar with the chain. I was recommended this nursery by a neighbour and from visiting on an open day where restrictions were in place given the pandemic we truly believe we have made the right decision in sending our little one here. They have come such a long way in the few months they have been attending. They are well looked after and settled. They enjoy their time here and even run in and don’t bother saying ‘bye’ some days. It’s a lovely thing to see and a peace of mind knowing they are enjoying being somewhere they can spend a lot of time especially at such a young age. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Busy Bees, Allington has really progressed my child and gives their best to help and care for them. I would recommend Allington to anyone who is looking to send their child to nursery. All the staff are friendly and approachable, give you updates on how their day has been and what your child has been progressing with. Thoroughly enjoyed my child’s time being here. Credit to the staff for such a lovely, friendly and educational environment.

My son loves it here. He has grown and developed so rapidly in his time at Busy Bees Maidstone Allington with so much stimulation and experiences. The staff and management are excellent and I would highly recommend this nursery.

Busy Bees Maidstone Allington are outstanding! The indoor and outdoor activities are brilliant with a fantastic outdoor space and forest area! The staff are devoted, caring and wonderful people and I feel completely at ease leaving my daughter! I also had my son attend who had the most outstanding first years of learning with them so I can only thank them for being amazing day in and day out! Thank you Busy Bees you are just brilliant!

I love having our little girl in Busy Bee’s Allington. You can tell the staff are very happy as they have many long serving team members and likewise the children are also very happy. The communication is brilliant and they are so easy to talk to and deal with on a day-to-day basis. No request has been too small. I like the parent zone app where we get to see pictures of our children. I also love that the children can access the forest school next door. The kids get lots of time to play outside. In a challenging time for us, the team took action straight away and worked with us to support our little girl in managing some challenging behaviours. It’s been a real light relief every day we drop our girl off knowing she is so happy to go straight in and play with her friends and the staff.

Busy Bees Allington is a great nursery. Both of my children have attended the nursery and I noticed growth in my children’s confidence, social skills, vocabulary and eating habits. My son (who is now at school) was one of few children who went into reception with confidence, full vocabulary and skills in maths and English and I feel this was not only a reflection on us as parents, but the investment that Busy Bees Allington had with him, and thats why when my daughter was born 5 and a half years later there was only one nursery we considered, and now I am watching her develop the same way her brother did. She has learnt to share, enjoy the outdoors, eat various foods, and practice maths and English skills daily. The staff are brilliant, super friendly, informative and responsive and I couldn’t praise them enough.
