September 5, 2024 at 8:18 amTeam and kids seem happier now. It is very noticeable that kids now follow a curriculum of sorts and they are consistently active and busy. The childcare centre has come leaps and bounds since the inspection and I believe it is a testament to the team and manager that they have turned it around.

September 17, 2024 at 7:13 amThe parent zone app is exceptional too as you get updates throughout the day, I’m so glad I chose this childcare centre for my son. Thank you Busy Bees! Such an incredible childcare centre, all of the team are so informative and lovely.

November 19, 2024 at 12:56 pmAs a full time working Mum, it was imperative for me to find a childcare establishment that I knew I could trust to care for my kid but to also ensure she received the right level of assistance to enable her to meet all developmental milestones. Busy Bees has provided an exceptional service and has allowed my daughter to become a enjoyable, confident individual who thrives in this setting. I cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough and her happiness at Busy Bees is a testament to all the team that work there. My daughter started at Busy Bees Meopham just before her first birthday.

November 24, 2024 at 7:48 pmI am kept up to date with his development and sensory circuits, etc. that are undertaken when he attends and his one to one care with his key worker. Very supportive and supportive with my son, who has been diagnosed with Autism.

December 1, 2024 at 2:16 pmI have found all of the team a pleasure, and their dedication to the kids is so lovely. My kids have been so cheerful here, consistently telling me about the enjoyable they’ve had and the activities they’ve done. It makes it so much easier leaving the kids to go to work, when they adore going to childcare centre. All 3 of my kids have attended this childcare centre and I couldn’t suggest it enough.

December 30, 2024 at 6:27 amAll team know how anxious parents can be about their kids starting childcare centre and are cheerful to take calls. The Parent Zone app is remarkable.
Each room has an outside area which they use all year round. Busy Bees start the morning with Wake and Shake – my daughter loved this so much we used to do it at home too.
The nutritious meals are made on site from scratch. Even the kitchen team are part of the Busy Bees family. Every member of team knows each kid’s name, even if they aren’t in the same room.
Busy Bees have recently offered Spanish lessons for an extra cost which the kids adore.
Our kids are very cheerful at Busy Bees. The team genuinely care for our kids’s welfare. Our daughter starts school in September and she will miss Busy Bees and the team will miss her. We are thankful to Busy Bees for looking after her so well and ensuring she is ready for this big step to reception. We have two kids at Busy Bees and highly suggest this day childcare centre.

January 8, 2025 at 10:33 pmWe had been in lockdown since he was 5 months in March and I was worried how he would settle as he hadn’t met many people. I needn’t have worried as he settled in so quickly. He is very cheerful in the baby room and transitioning to the toddler room soon. The team are very welcoming and supportive. The manager has been super accommodating to me and my ever changing needs and sessions, due to me changing jobs and hours. I adore the app and I get notified of every nappy change, food and sleep. We also get updates and pictures, which is so nice to see. They are very Covid-19 secure, parents wear masks and temperatures are taken daily. I highly suggest the childcare centre. My son started Busy Bees at Meopham in September at eleven months old.

January 23, 2025 at 12:34 pmThe team are incredible with the kids and go above and beyond what is asked of them. Our kids adore it there and have excellent friendships and bonds with the team. I know how hard it can be leaving your kid in childcare all day but I can honestly say that the team here will put you at ease and make sure your little one settles in well. The food is excellent, there is lots of creative playtime and outdoor time and the Assistant Manager and the Financial Administrator are consistently cheerful to help with any queries or concerns you might have. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to anyone. Both of our kids have attended Busy Bees at Meopham from a young age.

March 3, 2025 at 8:08 amThey have had such a wonderfully positive impact on my son, he is such a confident and cheerful kid and I know that this childcare centre has had a massive part to playtime in making him the kid he is today. My son suffers with speech and language delay and the childcare centre have been so supportive and encouraging to both my son and us, as parents. My son has been in three different rooms during his time at the childcare centre and he has thrived in each one with the nurturing care of the team. We are delighted with Busy Bees Meopham.

March 12, 2025 at 2:08 amOne has additional needs due to cerebral palsy and the team have gone above and beyond my expectations in the level of care she has received. They have also supported me emotionally, not consistently easy leaving your kid but even harder when one requires such specific care but the team have never failed to make me sense confident that they had it in the bag. Both my girls adore the team and have made some really close bonds. Team are consistently on hand for any concerns, welcoming yet expert whilst providing a excellent setting and level of care. My twin girls have attended Busy Bees for the past 3 years.

March 29, 2025 at 2:16 amIt has a lovely, family sense to it and the team have consistently been very accommodating and reassuring, especially during the pandemic when I was still required to go out to work as a key worker so had to somewhat nervously still send my boys in. My youngest, who still currently attends, has flourished there and has made very close relations with his key worker who he chats about all the time as well as all the other ladies. I would definitely suggest. Both of my boys have attended since they were eleven months old and have been very cheerful there.

April 9, 2025 at 12:39 amMy son who started when he was also 9 months old and is currently 18 months old. He will continue to attend until he is also 5 years old. We have been extremely cheerful and impressed with the childcare centre. The team are welcoming and supportive. My son who currently attends has really settled in well, with no tears, sleeping well, eating well and playing well.
We could not be happier with the care and facilities provided. The team at the childcare centre have really worked well to get to know my son and he has consistently enjoyed going to childcare centre. Overall a remarkable discovering/playtime setting and we could not think of any other childcare centre that could fulfil this for us. Cheerful kid, cheerful parents. Both of my kids have attended this childcare centre, my daughter attended from 8 months to 5 years old and has now left to attend school.

May 7, 2025 at 7:09 pmAlthough it broke my heart leaving him, I know he gets a lot out of the sessions and it makes working full time a little more bearable. Regular app updates of his daily activities and development brings additional reassurance, alongside the fact that he drags me from the car to the door to get in of a morning. The management and team are fantastic, very approachable and advise me each evening of all the activities he has been up to. I adore being given his paintings or creations he’s done during the week as he refuses to paint at home at the weekends! A fabulous childcare centre and I couldn’t suggest it enough. My son started at here at fourteen months old and he’s now twenty two months.

May 12, 2025 at 11:08 amMy eldest started with them in Sept 2013, so it’s going to be hard to say goodbye. I’ve never had anything but praise for the childcare centre. Both my kids have loved attending and have developed so well. The team know the kids inside out and will encourage them to learn by using their interests. The outside space is exceptional and the kids go outside in all weathers, which is excellent. I adore that the meals are cooked onsite, my kids often have seconds. If they have ever been poorly whilst at childcare centre, they have been looked after like family until I could get there. Whilst the resources and the rooms are exceptional and well equipped, what really makes it is the team. They go above and beyond and the kids clearly have a excellent bond with them. We are going to miss Busy Bees so much. My youngest is just about to leave Busy Bees to start school.

May 26, 2025 at 6:05 amMy son has been attending Busy Bee’s for 18 months and in the entire time he has been there so far has been looked after, cooked healthy meals and consistently arrives and leaves with a smile.
All of the team, including the office team, are inviting and welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble to ask.
He has grown in self‑assurance, his speech is incredible, and I delight in hearing about all the activities he gets up to.
I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone.
Finley Lawson
June 6, 2025 at 6:46 pmShe is well supported, she consistently comes home cheerful and excited about the activities she has taken part in that day. The childcare centre has given her new self‑assurance. Their covid policies have been incredible and we have felt very secure. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. This is the second childcare centre my daughter has been to and she is really cheerful here.
Riley Hayes
June 8, 2025 at 7:32 amThe level of care from the team is so comforting, even from settling in sessions they eased her in so that she wasn’t phased by the sessions I left her. When your kid walks into childcare centre and doesn’t look back, you know they are in secure hands and that is what you want to see as a parent. Also having a kid who is extremely bright you want somewhere that will expand and nourish their knowledge and I can wholeheartedly say Busy Bees does this, keep up the great work. From day one my kid has absolutely loved being at Busy Bees, Meoplam.

July 1, 2025 at 3:12 amMy kids have all had really positive experiences and I have no complaints at all. The team are welcoming, inviting, they pay attention to kid development and the setting is consistently spotless and welcoming. My kids are confident and cheerful and I believe this is partly due to attending a great childcare centre from an early age. I have had four kids go through this childcare centre over the past ten years and have become very fond of the place and the team.
Rowan Mayer
July 2, 2025 at 5:17 amThe team are compassionate and welcoming and full of knowledge of the EYFS and other issues I may want to know about.
My two kids have both been there from 9 months old and have been extremely cheerful all the way. My kid is very cheerful at Meopham Busy Bees, she’s adore coming every day and enjoys new experiences, She’s discovering new things every day.
Emerson Steele
July 8, 2025 at 4:58 amThe manager and her team have really taken the time to get to know him and he has consistently loved going to childcare centre. It is a remarkable discovering/playtime setting and they have ensured he is ready for his next steps into school.
His sister will also be joining the childcare centre in a few months and there is nowhere else we could imagine sending her. Our son has attended this childcare centre from 18 months until 4 years old and we could not be happier with the care and facilities provided.
