September 11, 2024 at 7:24 amThe team were very
supportive as he adjusted to childcare centre life. He has since shown so much self‑assurance and loves his time there. Highly recommended! My son has been attending Busybees since August 2020 at 12 months.

September 16, 2024 at 3:07 pmMy daughter has been attending the childcare centre since she was 8 months. She is now 3. She absolutely loves going to the childcare centre and is excited each morning when getting ready. She even asks over the weekend whether she can attend. Her development has been excellent. The team are welcoming and they work with parents to ensure that the needs of kids are met and that milestones are achieved. My daughter has made really great friends at the childcare centre. We will really miss Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital when she leaves for Reception. I highly suggest this childcare centre and pre-school to parents with young kids.

September 16, 2024 at 10:05 pmThe team in her room (rabbits) are consistently reassuring to myself and my little girl when and if needed. My little one is consistently cheerful when coming into childcare centre and is consistently cheerful when I collect her. My little one has a great bond with all her team in the room. I am very cheerful with her care and would suggest Busy Bees to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you Busy Bees, so much. I adore Busy Bees for my little girl, she has thrived so much and come on in leaps and bounds.

September 22, 2024 at 5:33 amThey both have developed friendships, created lovely artwork, had a lot of enjoyable in the lovely garden. The educators are incredible and ever so lovely. The childcare centre is very well run by the manager. Both girls were looking forward to going every morning and had plenty to tell us in the afternoon. I would suggest Busy bees at Maidstone Hospital to any parents looking for the very best place for their kid. We have been attending Busy bees for the last 7 years and both our girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

October 25, 2024 at 1:09 pmThey keep us informed of what’s going with the app and upload images and development reports. Both my kids adore going to childcare centre they have a great relationship with their key worker and other childcare centre team. Exceptional could not fault. Exceptional, both my kids go to Busy Bees Maidstone Hospital, the team make it so comfortable and easy.

October 30, 2024 at 4:59 pmNow he is so confident, chatty and comfortable with any situation. He is consistently cheerful to go into childcare centre and we consistently adore to hear and see what he has been up to on the app. He is consistently doing something crafty, reading or singing and dancing or in the garden, which he really enjoys. I’m very glad I chose Busy Bees. My son was non-verbal when he joined Busy Bees a year ago.

November 19, 2024 at 7:57 pmMy kids joined Jan 2020, with my oldest moving from another childcare centre and my youngest being almost 8 months. The transition period was hard for my oldest but the team at Busy Bees were so supportive, kept me completely up to date with her development and supported both me and her the whole way through. My youngest has an incredible connection with the team and the bond between him and his key worker is fantastic. Again, constant updated and assistance. I would highly suggest Busy Bees. The only thing that my kids struggle with is the menu, on some occasions, my kids have refused to eat what is served and the only alternative offered is bread and butter. I fully assistance trying to encourage healthier meals but I know for a fact my kids will at least try the meals and refuse. I have two kids currently attending Busy Bees, one in foundation class and one in under twos.

January 1, 2025 at 2:59 pmWelcoming and supportive office team. Fantastic childcare centre room team, who offer excellent assistance and provide fantastic themes/activities/resources to get the kids engaged and excited. My kids absolutely adore it here! Excellent childcare centre!

January 6, 2025 at 6:12 pmAfter viewing multiple nurseries in the area, we are cheerful with our choice and consistently sense our boy will be secure and well looked after at the childcare centre. He loves the food and there seem to be enough activities to keep him busy during the day. We would definitely suggest Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital. It is consistently scary leaving your baby at the childcare centre for the first time but thanks to the excellent team at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital our boy just loves it there.

January 6, 2025 at 11:25 pmBusy Bees, Maidstone Hospital has a strong community sense. The team are attentive, listen and ensure questions/concerns are dealt with promptly. I sense reassured knowing my little one is cared for and nurtured to flourish at Busy Bees. What an absolutely remarkable setting!

January 9, 2025 at 10:13 pmI wish I had started him sooner. I am so impressed with all the team, the facilities and my son has made a huge improvement in such a short time. Thank you everyone at Busy Bees at Maidstone Hospital, you’re all incredible and you all do an incredible job. My son started three months ago and I highly suggest the childcare centre.

January 12, 2025 at 5:20 amThe team there have provided our family with not only impeccable childcare over the years but such a inviting and welcoming setting. My youngest will be leaving to start big school soon and although we will be sad to go, we will be taking lovely memories. Thank you so much to all the team and could not suggest more highly! My eldest son who is now 9 previously attended busy bees at Maidstone hospital from 7 months old, so when it came to my youngest it was a no brainier where he would be going.

January 31, 2025 at 3:00 amMy son gets upset every time I drop him off but the team consistently make sure he is comforted and cheerful and within 5 minutes he is playing happily with his friends. The team are incredible and make the setting what it is with team members staying long-term in the setting. They update the app with photos and I can see all the things my son is playing with. He consistently comes out with a full belly and a smile on his face ready to tell me all about his day. A special mention to his current key worker who consistently goes above and beyond and you can tell she really loves her job which is lovely when you are leaving the most precious thing to you in the care of somebody else. My only flaw of the childcare centre is that they still have pre covid rules regarding pick up and drop off which need updating. The childcare centre has come on so much in the past year and a half it’s gone from a childcare centre I was prepared to take my son out of, to one I’m now sending my daughter to when I go back to work.

February 11, 2025 at 1:15 pmWe go by parents review and we decided to join our daughter in Busy Bees. (Just a suggestion there should be a proper explanation of things of what needs to be done prior the start of the kid) this is the only thing that I can complain. Overall Maidstone Busy Bees is outstanding on their care, teaching, my daughter is consistently excited to come to her school. The team consistently did outstanding job. Well done to them. Thank you all for the hard work. We really appreciate everything. This is the first time that we put our daughter into childcare centre.

February 12, 2025 at 10:18 amHis self‑assurance has improved immensely since attending the childcare centre, especially in pre-school. He has a close relationship with his key worker, she supports him with tasks on a daily basis. He completes lots of enjoyable activities and loves running around the playground with friends. We have found his language and emotional intelligence has definitely improved.
The only thing we have found since he has gone up to pre-school is there are more kids and on occasion, things have been missed. We also don’t get quite as much of a handover at the end of the day as when he was younger and in a smaller class. However, it is great for his independence and preparation for school. My son attends Busy Bees Pre-School.

February 23, 2025 at 12:22 pmThey consistently keep us well informed and show us what she is up to throughout the day using the app. We are cheerful with her development and pleased she is exploring foods she wouldn’t normally eat at home. The setting is welcoming with a lovely garden and every team member we have met has been very polite and welcoming. Our daughter has been going to Busy Bees Maidstone Hospital for 5 months, she has settled in well and her keyworker and room leader are fantastic, as well as the other team in their room.

March 1, 2025 at 4:40 pmI am beyond glad I chose this childcare centre. The team are so welcoming, and my son absolutely loves coming here. The range of food cooked for the kids is remarkable. He learns so much every time he goes. We have had no issues even throughout the whole pandemic. They have worked so hard to make sure that every kid and their team are looked after in a secure setting. I would 100% suggest. My son has been here for almost 2 years.

May 28, 2025 at 6:37 pmShe has formed great bonds with team and kids. My daughter consistently comes home with a spotless face, which I like. Handovers are consistently thorough and team consistently polite. A star – very cheerful. My daughter consistently comes home cheerful after a day at childcare centre.

June 2, 2025 at 3:20 amHe has settled really well and is consistently cheerful in the mornings when he goes to Childcare centre. Team are consistently welcoming and attentive. The childcare centre is spotless with lots of activities to keep kids occupied. Also, homemade food is exceptional with a variety of choice. We are lucky to get a space there and be part of the Busy Bees Childcare centre family! My 20 months old son goes to Busy Bees Childcare centre at Maidstone Hospital since September.

June 14, 2025 at 10:34 amThere are excellent facilities and a lovely outdoor space. All three of my kids have been so cheerful here and have thrived coming here! A nurturing and welcoming setting with lovely team.
