Busy Bees Sevenoaks

He has settled in very well and seems cheerful there. The team seem compassionate and are welcoming. They also took trouble attentive for him when he was not feeling very well. Management are efficient at responding to queries and dealt well and promptly with reopening following lockdown which was a relief to me. The menu is healthy and varied. I am confident he is being well looked after. My only request would be to improve the efficiency of the afternoon pick up process. My kid joined last month age 1.

Almost without exception, the team are welcoming and all seem to make an effort to get to know the kids. They also greet my kid by name whenever passing and take an active interest in the kids’s development. My kid is consistently very cheerful to go to childcare centre and talks fondly of it when she is not there. Unfortunately there do seem to be some issues with team retention which is quite unsettling. There have been a number of notable departures in recent weeks which is sad. They have some outstanding individual team members and they should work hard to try and retain them as continuity is important for both kids and parents. Notwithstanding that I have, and do, suggest the childcare centre to others. The childcare centre has great facilities and longer commuter welcoming opening hours compared to some others in the locality, which is attractive.

The management is passionate about all kids and filters down to the individual key workers. Each key worker has their different attributes but mostly positive. Excellent outside space for the kids to utilise and excellent toilet facilities for kids who are going through toilet training. The food could be better selected as some dishes appear to cater for the few rather than the masses. Team turnover appears to be well managed. Busy Bees is a childcare centre that will look after your little ones with enthusiasm and great care.

The team there create a welcoming, secure and nurturing setting for the kids that encourages creativity, discovering and development. The updates lines between the childcare centre and the parents are excellent and well supported by the ParentZone app which contains logs, observations and key stage assessments of the kids.
I would wholeheartedly suggest Busy Bees for anyone looking for an outstanding childcare centre for their little ones! Busy Bees in Sevenoaks has been remarkable throughout the time that my kids have been there.

However, team retention is a big problem which can be upsetting for the kids. My daughters really delight in their time at Busy Bees and they do some excellent activities. The team genuinely care about the kids at the childcare centre and there are some truly fantastic people working there.

During their years here, my boys have both been so cheerful and I have felt very comfortable leaving them in the care of the childcare centre where they have been so well cared for and nurtured by the fantastic team. They have built excellent relationships with their key workers and I have really felt that they have cared for my kids and their welfare. Very highly recommended and we have been very pleased with this childcare centre/preschool over the years. No negative comment to give. Between them, my sons have been at Busy Bees Sevenoaks for nearly 6 years, with my youngest just about to leave for school.

They have consistently given him excellent care and attention. He loves to go and missed it during lock down. He has consistently had excellent keyworkers and friends. It’s also very spotless in there. My son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 6 months.

They are passionate about the kids who attend and give them lots of attention. They all seem to know all the kids, even those not under their direct care. Food is not consistently eaten and there are some occasions I need to give snacks/drinks to both kids when they are home however, this is consistently fed back to the chef. Overall this is the second childcare centre I have sent my kids to and they are both extremely content here and look forward to their days at Busy Bees. What makes me adore this childcare centre and choose to send my two kids here every day is the loving, welcoming, expert team.

I think this is mainly due to the attentive atmosphere, the friendliness and attentive nature of the team and the opportunities for playtime along with interaction with their peers. We are consistently all welcomed by a welcoming face and any concerns or feedback is welcomed and acted on. We’ve consistently been cheerful with Busy Bees Sevenoaks and will continue to send our boys there until school. Our boys are really cheerful at the childcare centre and that’s the main thing from my point of view.

Both my kids adore attending childcare centre and missed their friends and the team during lock down enormously. I also realised how many activities and how stimulated they are at the childcare centre doing messy playtime and enjoyable make believe, to discovering numbers, days and phonetics. My older boy will be starting school in September and I know that the assistance and development he has got from the Busy Bees team has meant he is fully ready to go – would definitely suggest it. I have 2 kids full time at the childcare centre, both different ages and have been attending for the last 3 1/2 years and whilst I agree with some of the older reviews re team retention this has been a lot more settled in the last couple of years.
