    My son has been attending the setting for over a year and is extremely cheerful. Remarkable childcare centre setting with welcoming and enthusiastic team.

    Our boys have learnt so much during their time at Busy Bees. From an educational perspective, they come home knowing more and more each week but they also cover topics that are social and relevant. The carers in each room are dedicated to the kids and show a vested interest in their well being. Each day we receive a well-informed synopsis of how they’ve been and what they’ve been up to.
    The internet platform offers regular kid updates and photographs of them during the day (which we adore). Parent evenings also demonstrate the continued review of each kid’s development.
    This setting offers a welcoming and secure setting for kids and you’ll sense like family before you know it. Our eldest has been attending this setting since 2015 and our youngest since 2018, both are extremely cheerful.
    The food is diverse and healthy, the team are compassionate and welcoming and the extra curriculum classes offered are varied.

    The team in all the rooms have been lovely, attentive and thoughtful and have made both my kids’s childcare centre journey a pleasant and cheerful journey. I can’t thank them enough for all that they have done for us as a family. I have been so cheerful with the level of care that both my kids have had at this childcare centre.

    He was full of tears on arrival but soon calmed down when the team picked him up and showed him the places in the back garden.
    I left feeling sure that he was in excellent hands and that he was going to have a excellent day. Dropped my son into Busy Bees after he had been a bit grumpy in the night.

    Our daughter runs in cheerful every morning; the team know her so well, and her needs are consistently met. She eats so well when there, and it makes going to work much easier to know she is in the best hands, receiving outstanding care. Busy Bees Thorley Park is remarkable!

    8 months old. The team are welcoming and expert,my kids both settled, quickly, into childcare centre life,discovering how to socialise in a enjoyable setting. This helped to prepare my older son for school, having the ability and self‑assurance to mix and make new friends. When I drop off and pick up the kids all look cheerful and busy,there are nice displays of kids’s artwork. My kids have consistently been well cared for,if, they have become unwell or had a minor accident and positively encouraged when developing milestones,such as toilet training. My younger son is currently at Busy Bees at Thorley Park and my older son also attended this childcare centre, both sons started at approx.

    It makes me sense so much better going to work seeing the excitement on her face when she realises she is going to childcare centre. The team are remarkable and everyone builds a excellent relationship with all the kids. It is lovely to see my daughters smile seeing her carers when she arrives and holding her arms out to them when arriving, she can’t wait to get stuck in. Both encouraging and educating my daughter she learns something new every day and brings new skills home as well as lovely little paintings and keepsakes from her enjoyable daily activities. I adore the online system which I can log onto whilst at work and read notes about her activities and the little diary book that is filled in. I sense more involved in her daily enjoyable and a part of it. My daughter attended the free baby groups before signing up to the childcare centre and has enjoyed every single day since.

    The range of activities provided each day is outstanding, all of which are age-appropriate, right from the baby room up to the Pre-schoolers. There is a excellent mix of outdoor/indoor time. Team frequently take pictures and complete mini-assessments on the kids which are then uploaded to the app for us to see.
    The updates with parents is outstanding, with regular emails home, and text messages, if something needs to be communicated quickly. Parents’ evenings take place regularly, and it is clear that the team really know the kids in their care.
    My toddler tells me that the food is “soooo yummy” and I am consistently amazed at the new things that he has tried.
    Overall I cannot fault this childcare centre. The team are incredible and truly committed to their jobs. Busy Bees Thorley Park is one of the best (if not the best!) childcare facilities in the area.
    The kids are greeted at the front door with big smiles each morning, by enthusiastic team who clearly adore their jobs.

    He started at the age of 11 months and settled very quickly. He took part in their baby group activities which he absolutely loved (especially rice krispies playtime). Childcare centre offers on-site cooked food which he really enjoys. My now 6 years old attended this childcare centre and is still asking me if he can go and playtime at Busy Bees as a treat. I have a 13-month-old son who really enjoys childcare centre.

    The team are fantastic, inviting and informative. The daily and actual time updates on their website are a excellent way to sense connected to your little one throughout the day. The team are consistently on hand at drop off and pick up to discuss any concerns, activities of the day, updates etc. I adore the activities that they do each day and I know my son is getting the right education, stimulation and care.

    The actual childcare centre is one of the best I have seen, with excellent outdoor space, consistently spotless and excellent facilities. I adore the fact that my son is outside for a large part of the day. My little boy has loved his time there, to be honest, it is consistently hard to get him to leave! I can’t rate the childcare centre highly enough.

    All the team know every kid and the manager is extremely hands-on in each room. My daughter has attended for over 3 years and loves it! We couldn’t have asked for a more home from home setting with incredible team and manager who truly know and understand our daughter. Would highly suggest it! The childcare centre provides a really inviting, attentive and nurturing setting.

    He has grown so much in self‑assurance and loves being there; participating in all the daily activities.
    The childcare centre has a real home from home sense, and the team are remarkable. My son loves the extracurricular classes that preschool hold.
    Overall, this is a excellent childcare centre! My son has been attending this childcare centre since June 2018 and has progressed so much since being there.

    She loves going to childcare centre and consistently has a smile for the team and reaches for them when she gets there. Every day we get an update of her day, what and how much she’s eaten, how long she’s napped for and what she has done during the day. Since she started childcare centre she has also slept a lot better during the night which we are very grateful for. I have no problems leaving my kid with them during the day and sense she is well looked after and cared for. Our daughter has recently grown out of a cows milk protein allergy, and while we were introducing it back into her diet the childcare centre was able to accommodate her diet accordingly. Our daughter is fourteen months and has been attending Busy Bees Thorley for three months.

    I can not fault the care the team give, the range of activities, the updates with the parents and the overall enthusiasm from the whole team. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time there and has thrived making new friends and meeting his milestones. Busy Bees Thorley is genuinely an extension of our own family. My little boy has been at the childcare centre since he was 9 months.

    The team are attentive, welcoming and provide a home from home setting. The activities my daughter participates in are well planned and she has formed excellent bonds with her key workers and other members of the team.
    The management are very accommodating and are great with parent updates. We’re really cheerful with all aspects of the childcare centre and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest. My kid has been at Busy Bees Thorley for eighteen months and has thrived during this time.

    He really loves coming here. All the team are so nurturing, enthusiastic, compassionate and the childcare centre has a real family sense. My wishes as a parent are consistently listened to and respected and I sense totally comfortable leaving him in their loving care. He runs in each morning, and consistently comes home smiling and cheerful. I adore the ParentZone app which allows me to see what he gets up to during his day, the activities he participated in and so on. The food is fantastic, well balanced and he consistently eats so well there. He has really flourished and it’s clear to see the positive impact being in such a lovely setting has had on all areas of his development. Updates with his Key Worker is fab, and the observations and assessments are consistently very detailed and a testament to just how well they know my son. I cannot suggest this childcare centre highly enough. The management team are incredible too. My little boy has attended this childcare centre since he was 9 months old.
