Busy Bees Shrewsbury

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the care and entertainment both my girls receive. I think the invoice system and payment process is complicated. I never look in the tray as I’m usually trying to run out the door as they’re upset with me leaving. An email or text with payment link would be much easier. I find my girls both come home so thirsty and realise they can help themselves but wondered if they are asked /offered drinks regularly? There are so many staff and faces change constantly it’s very difficult to keep up and I’ve never had an introduction from the manager. I think the manager or someone should open the door on arrival or visit the rooms occasionally when we’re leaving to check in and make it a bit more personal.

I chose this nursery because of its excellent reputation and the location is ideal for my work. It’s not the cheapest of nurseries but the care and standard of learning is excellent. Meals are included in their price which makes life easier when you work full time. I can’t fault the activities and learning and being able to monitor your child’s progress daily on the parentzone is a bonus. The only thing I would like to see improved is the outdoor play equipment with some more climbing frames and park type facilities.

My little girl has been attending Busy Bees since the age of 1, she is now 3 and half. The staff have been extremely patient and caring towards her as she struggled to settle at first. Her confidence has grown so much over the years and she now bounds into nursery with so much enthusiasm and always has lots of exciting things to tell me about her day. I feel she is having the best start to prepare her for school!

My Daughter has attended Busy Bees Shrewsbury since June 2018 when she was seven months old. Prior to starting nursery, we attended the baby group held within the Baby Room. This was run by the room manager, who I only found to be welcoming, confident, efficient, and clearly displayed an invested interest towards the children. Her open and honest approach reassured me further that choosing Busy Bees was the right decision. Upon starting settling in sessions, it was evident that my daughter felt extremely comfortable with the already familiar staff and room alike. Having provided information regarding my daughter’s likes and dislikes, I have found these to have been read and considered by all staff involved with her care, given they are able to relay as I had informed. The comprehensive handover at the end of the day only offers reassurance. Any small issues raised have been dealt with efficiently and professionally. From Management to room staff the whole transition into nursery has been positive.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Shrewsbury since January 2019 when she was 11 months old. Prior to starting nursery, we attended the baby group to help familiarise her with the staff and surroundings. She has settled in very quickly and absolutely adores her key worker and the rest of the staff in her room. The staff are very supportive, knowledgeable and I feel I am leaving my child in very safe hands. The nursery happily catered around my daughters dietary requirements, with freshly prepared meals cooked each day by the nursery chefs. I have noticed a huge improvement in her social and development skills. As a working mum, I am given that extra peace of mind from their parent zone I-connect app, which provides me with regular updates of daily activities throughout the day. I highly recommend Busy Bees Shrewsbury for their excellent service and facilities. This nursery has already exceeded all of my expectations.

The staff have worked incredibly hard over the pandemic to ensure everything runs safely, smoothly and as normal as possible for the children. The manager and her team do such an amazing job. I always feel relaxed when my son is there because I know he’s being well looked after and having lots of fun.
He eats really well at nursery, they make freshly cooked meals which have given him the opportunity to try lots of new things.
He is always doing fun activities that are documented on the parent’s app so you can see what he’s being up to throughout the day. It’s lovely to be able to save the pictures to keep to look back on.
Even though he has additional needs he is well and truly made to feel part of the group and included in all activities with his friends. Nursery is always happy to help with working in his physio activities into daily tasks/activities, which is massively appreciated.
We couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees Shrewsbury.
Thank you
