    Our daughter is now in the preschool room, having been at Busy Bees since babies. The kids are thriving at childcare centre and have formed close bonds with the team. They are genuinely attentive and have been our little bit of normality through Covid. They are quick to pick up on any concerns or issues with the kids and treat them as the little individuals they are. Highly suggest this childcare centre. Both our kids attend this childcare centre.

    I’ve already noticed she’s becoming more confident. Her eating has also improved massively, she hasn’t been a remarkable eater and can be quite fussy. The childcare centre has truly helped me and have given me a copy of the recipes. The ParentZone portal helps me see what is happening during the day so I don’t sense like I’m missing anything with her. Would definitely suggest. Nothing seems to much for them. Plus my girl loves it My one-year-old has been going to Busy Bees for under a month and she loves it!

    The team is expert, highly welcoming and super accommodating. We also found updates with the team highly responsive to our needs and they look after our boy so well. He is smiling when he enters the childcare centre and we get regular updates on their activities throughout the day. The food menu has a excellent variety of nutritious food. Super cheerful! Thank you. Our 2 years old boy has joined Busy Bees at Thorpe in September 2021 and we have been truly impressed with the childcare centre.

    She’s now almost 3 and still absolutely loves childcare centre. The team are so attentive and patient, she eats a well-balanced diet and she has learnt so much from attending. She would go every day if she could. I can’t thank team enough for how much they’ve helped my daughter grow and learn. My daughter has attended Busy Bees Thorpe since she was around 9-months-old.

    I know they’re highly well looked after and the team are consistently welcoming, and I can tell they care. Thank you again, unfortunately, we’re having to move to a different setting due to location, we will certainly miss Busy Bees. I’ve loved both of my sons attending the childcare centre.

    His journey here has been everything I could have hoped for and more. Due to the pandemic and being at home for a year his social skills were a little behind some of his peers. During his highly short time at Busy Bees he has come on leaps and bounds. Nothing is ever too much trouble, every set back met with calmness and a positive response. We have gone from worrying he wouldn’t start school in September to looking forward to him beginning! The team have given me my self‑assurance back in being Mum and my son just loves his days at preschool now. Thank you! My preschool son joined Busy Bees Thorpe after two failed childcare centre placements.

    They truly do make the journey of introducing your kid to childcare centre so easy and they are exceptionally reassuring. My little boy loves his educators and never seems upset about leaving me which is such a relief. I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives when he is at childcare centre as he consistently seems to have a lovely time. I have found he is beginning to show new skills that he has picked up from childcare centre at home which is lovely. I am so cheerful with how welcoming and approachable everyone is that works at Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe! I was exceptionally anxious about going back to work and leaving my one year old at childcare centre but everyone at the childcare centre has made the process so easy!

    The team are consistently welcoming and accommodating and she loves the activities they set up. As parents, we are kept regularly updated and made aware of themed days. Our daughter has been attending the childcare centre for the past two years and she loves it.

    Settling in sessions have been appropriate and well managed and the first few full day sessions my son has enjoyed playing and eating, and even napping! Incredibly welcoming and welcoming team – they have made my sons first month at childcare centre easy, relaxed and cheerful for the whole family!

    My youngest daughter can’t wait to go to preschool on her days in and comes out with a big smile. She is so cheerful there and has loved all of her key workers and childcare centre team over the past two years. She has learnt to playtime with others, how to share and her updates skills have developed greatly because of the fantastic setting Thorpe Busy Bees has created. All the team at Thorpe St Andrews Busy Bees are absolutely incredible.

    The care throughout all the childcare centre has been to a high standard and all of her key workers have done a remarkable job of keeping me updated with everything she does. I cannot thank the whole team enough for their hard work. My daughter attends Busy Bees Norwich Thorpe and has since she was a baby.

    He started at nine months old and he’s now three years old and has consistently loved going to childcare centre. The team are consistently thoughtful and work to the strengths and interests of the kids. They consistently welcome each kid by name too, even those that don’t directly care for them, which is incredible and it’s a lovely family sense. Our son has lots of childcare centre friends and loves to tell us about his day when he gets home, consistently with a smile on his face. Throughout Covid-19 they have been incredible, working so hard to keep providing childcare in a secure and enjoyable way. His key workers have consistently been incredible too. The app they use to keep parents updated during the day is excellent and we get lots of photo’s of him enjoying his day. It’s incredible to see our son in his element, doing activities with his friends and he loves it. We would thoroughly suggest this childcare centre, without a doubt. The team at Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe have been incredible with our son.

    The team were so welcoming and welcoming, truly helping him adjust to his new setting and providing me with updates during the day. He is now in his final few months before going to primary school. The team in his room are doing a remarkable job of preparing him with all the skills he will need on his next adventure.The office team are remarkable too, helping with guidance on how to complete statutory forms, as an example. I highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. My son has attended since January 2020, when we moved away from his previous childcare centre.

    The team are incredible and truly thoughtful about each kid’s needs and interests. They pair kids up who are going to the same schools to help them with the transition to ‘big school’. Our daughter loves the castle and how often they are encouraged to go outside in all weathers. They are truly inclusive and all the team clearly truly care about the kids and their discovering. Would highly suggest it to anyone. The pre-school room is consistently our daughter’s favourite place to be.

    The team are consistently truly cheerful and supportive and are consistently keen to tell me about my little ones day. My little one adores his key worker and had come on leaps and bound this last year. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending them! During the current pandemic, all the team have done a excellent job with what has been a truly tough 18 months.

    I have found the team exceptionally supportive and reassuring, making leaving my little one that bit easier. Also the bond My daughter has clearly made with the team already is just fantastic to see. Thanks for all your hard work! I cannot rave about Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe enough!

    He especially loves how much time they playtime outside in the garden! I appreciate the updates we get on the app and at collection as it makes it clear how much enjoyable he’s having as well as how much he’s discovering and developing. People often comment on how great his speech is. I don’t hesitate to suggest the childcare centre to friends as we have never had any problems. My son loves going to childcare centre and playing with his friends.

    When we chose our childcare centre, we had two main questions. Firstly, is there diversity and secondly, do the team have journey of kids that have been previously looked after. Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe ticked both boxes on paper and then exceeded all our expectations. This childcare centre is our kid’s home away from home. The team are just exceptional, attentive and listen to what you as parents are concerned about and report back on how your kid is doing, taking your concerns into account. They are loving and attentive towards each kid and give their all. In terms of safety, our boy has barely been unwell during Covid-19 which is unheard of at childcare centre. This is a true testament of how spotless they have kept their school, which is not a small feature when you have small humans running and sneezing everywhere! I could go on but there is a word limit so, thank you to the childcare centre manager and all the team at Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe! Our kid has been at Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe since he was two years old.

    She will consistently talk about the team, especially the chef. It has been difficult not being able to go into childcare centre but we have still felt involved due to updates on the app, emails and talking with team. Highly welcoming and approachable team. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees at Norwich Thorpe for nearly two years and the care given has consistently been exceptional.

    My son truly loves attending, the meals they provide are varied and seasonal. He has lots of enjoyable with his friends there, with lots of outdoor activities, crafts and reading. The way they have dealt with the last years has been beyond what we could ask for. The team at Busy Bees Norwich Thorpe are all incredible.
