February 10, 2017 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended Busy Bees from 12 months old and really enjoy it. I am confident that they are in a safe, stimulating environment with fantastic staff that genuinely care about the children that they are looking after.

October 31, 2017 at 12:00 amBusy Bees Portishead is a fantastic nursery. I have recommended this nursery to several friends and family, and they too have had a positive experience with the nursery. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, my son loves the members of staff in his room and always has a great time. My son enjoys all of the activities that the nursery has to offer, along with the great outdoor space. There is always so much going on every day and he is always learning something new. I really feel Busy Bees has been a great experience for my son’s development. My son will soon be moving up to pre-school and I feel this will give him a fantastic start in preparing him for when he starts primary school.

February 15, 2018 at 12:00 amI have nothing other than positive things to say about Busy Bees in Portishead. My son started there when he was nine months and continues to attend their pre-school. The level of care is consistently excellent with evidence of thought and time going into each planned activity. All the staff I have met with have been very approachable and provide an honest and timely feedback. It is a huge comfort and relief to know how happy and well looked after my child is whilst we are working.

July 26, 2019 at 12:00 amI would not recommend this Nursery if you work full time and pay for your childcare. The administration team and Office team are absolutely shocking, constantly not receiving receipts, 2 payments not being receipted onto my account, overpayments by mistake and incorrect invoices. The financial admin team are ruining it for everyone. I have a parents social media group, and it has happened to 4 of us in the last 3 months. Never again.

July 7, 2020 at 12:00 amBusy Bees is an amazing nursery and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It’s obvious that the children’s happiness and well being is put first. The staff are amazing. Ever since my daughter started, she has loved it. Even after lockdown, after nearly 70 days away, she rushed in happily, glad to be back and came out smiling, full of news. She’s there for another year before she starts school, and I couldn’t be happier.

July 7, 2020 at 12:00 amThe team at Busy Bees are amazing, the investment seen in the facilities, rooms, gardens and equipment in recent months has been so great to see.
Actively listen to parents and involve them in their plans, seeking feedback and ways to improve.
I have both my children there and they love it.
The way they have handled the COVID crisis has been outstanding, while other nurseries haven’t kept parents up to date Busy Bees have. The way they have managed the return and the measures in place has been terrific. The flexibility and understanding towards parents is second to none, no retainer fees or minimum days/dates to return by unlike others.
They have such a varied menu with an onsite chef, which is a great benefit. Regular feedback and consultation with parents on future menus too.
Highly recommend the team at Busy Bees.

July 7, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son first joint last year when he was 2-years-old. I am really happy with his overall development. He is always happy to go to daycare at Busy Bees in Portishead. I love how happy he is at the end of the day when I pick him up. Even at times he did not want to go home because he enjoy it so much! I definitely recommend my friends and family to find out more about Busy Bees. Their management is very well organised, communicate well with parents/guardians, excellent safeguarding as well (I remember the nursery called to double-check when my parents-in-law went to collect my son).

July 7, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Portishead since she was 5-months-old and I have nothing but positive praise for the staff in the Baby Room. My little girl’s communication has thrived since being here and she has great social skills. My daughter really enjoys her time here and doesn’t want to leave at home time. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who wants a home from home environment for their child.

July 17, 2020 at 12:00 amBusy Bees nursery have been great with my daughter and have been very patient and understanding with her needs. For example, making sure they quickly get her headphones if the room gets too noisy for her, as well as understanding she likes her space and independence. The staff are also always friendly and smiley when we arrive. My daughter has a good relationship with the staff and is always excited to see them.

July 31, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has attended the nursery since he was 6 months old! The girls have been extremely caring and catering for both my son and us as parents.
He enjoys coming into nursery and it’s great to be able to leave him knowing that he’s being well looked after.

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has only been at the nursery for 1 week but it feels like longer. The staff are great at communicating and making me feel relaxed when dropping her off. I receive good updates about how her day has been and what she has done during the day. Even when she had settling in days, the staff were all very nice and her key worker is great! Would definitely recommend this nursery!

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves Busy Bees in Portishead. She took some time to settle as she had only ever been home with me but the staff were so supportive to both of us. Now she runs in without looking back. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are so approachable, kind and the feedback is always available on pick up, which to me is so important.

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amI was nervous about my daughter going to nursery as she has cerebral palsy and I just wasn’t sure how her needs would be met. I really had nothing to worry about with Busy Bees. Every need my daughter has, has been accommodated…special chairs/table, special shoes, glasses, eye patches…the staff even take time out to train with my daughter physio.
Not only are they amazing with my daughter’s additional needs but they awesome at keeping me updated with how she’s been doing developmentally. They share photos, paintings etc… they are always doing new and exciting things.
The staff at Busy Bees also care about me. Nothing I have asked has ever been too much trouble, in fact there are times when they go out of their way to help and support me. Sending messages in their own time, showing support and care.
Most of all though, my daughter is genuinely loved. Her key worker is affectionate and loving towards her and my daughter loves her too.

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amOur 2 and a half-year-old son is enjoying his days in Busy Bees in Portishead! Every morning, when he wakes up, even if it is weekend, he asks if he can go to nursery! We are very pleased with the team and environment! Highly recommended!

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amMy youngest daughter has been attending Busy Bees for the past year and we have had such a positive experience. She loves going into nursery and comes home really happy. She has developed great bonds with the staff which is great to see. The range of activities and meals they provide is a real benefit and the generous outdoor area is an extra bonus too!

September 23, 2020 at 12:00 amHighly recommend Busy Bees as a nursery, the way they handled the closure and reopening of the nursery and the communication and flexibility with parents has been amazing. The manager and team have worked so hard to get things back to as ‘normal’ as they can for the kids whilst adhering to the COVID measures.
The team are all so friendly and the kids love them. I can go to work each day, knowing my girls are in safe hands and absolutely love it there.
Highly recommend Busy Bees.

September 24, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves her time at Nursery. She has recently transitioned from the baby to the toddler’s room, and under the current circumstances, they have made it as smooth as possible.
The communication during lockdown was amazing, especially as a key worker who still required childcare. Regular updates about how they were operating, and what capacity they were running at was really appreciated and helped put our mind at ease during an already stressful period.
I could not recommend this nursery enough.

September 24, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter settled before lockdown and has re-settled in this week. The girls have been great and we’re so so accommodating for us during lockdown and the change of days and hours. I have no bother leaving her and they’ve listened to my needs. Thank you! I would recommend Busy Bees Portishead definitely.
