September 5, 2024 at 11:49 amMy daughter is about to leave after 4 very cheerful years and my son will stay until he starts school. Both really adore going and run in each morning and out each evening telling me what they’ve been up to. It’s a remarkable childcare centre, small, nurturing and they really do care about each and every kid there. The team are all lovely and many have been there a long time providing incredible continuity for the kids. Very cheerful with the care my kids receive while I’m at work I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School to anyone and often do.

November 2, 2024 at 2:32 pmThe consistency in those strange times was just what he needed; he took to childcare centre life so well and never once has played up going in and is consistently cheerful and full of smiles when he comes out. The content of the early year’s curriculum is remarkable and has helped to develop him above average in all aspects of discovering, including how the world works, socialising with kids and other adults, number work and other discovering activities. I believe my son is a very confident young boy with what we do at home, accompanied alongside what the team do with him and the way they do it at Bees Knees. They are very informative and approachable and really get to know how you would like them to care for your kid – a real home-from-home childcare centre. Every detail – what time their bottoms are changed, what they have eaten and how much, nap times and regular observations with pictures can all be seen on your kid’s app. My boy started when he was 7 months old and attended throughout all of the lockdowns.

November 2, 2024 at 10:58 pmMy daughter has been attending since she was 7 months (August 2022) and she loves it. She runs in every morning and is consistently cheerful and smiling when she leaves. The adore and care provided by the team is faultless and provides the comfort you need as a parent knowing your kid is in a nurturing setting. The app is excellent at tracking her development activities and provides real time information on meals, naps etc. I cannot suggest The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School highly enough.

November 25, 2024 at 9:14 amThe team are consistently cheerful and smiling. So quick to respond to any concerns or enquires. They have helped my son so much as he was a lockdown baby and found it hard to settle. But they have spent so much time helping him with his speech and he is a different kid now. They also were extremely accommodating when I first inquired about my kids attending the childcare centre, as the childcare centre they originally attended closed down, with very short notice. I couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre for my kids. I have two kids attending The Bees Knees.

December 9, 2024 at 11:17 pmThe team are all long-serving team members, and all have different personalities, which is a excellent thing. It’s lovely to see that whoever comes to the door to greet us in the morning, my daughter consistently has a big smile on her face. There is a variety of activities and discovering that will keep me feeling confident that this is a remarkable discovering establishment. In addition, they do adore a great party or two, which just gives me an excuse to dress baby up! My daughter loves it here.

December 26, 2024 at 7:58 pmFrom our very first visit, we knew we could trust the team to give our girls the very best care and it’s been the same over the last three years! All the team genuinely care for all the kids and have built a loving and attentive setting for the kids. The activities and discovering are varied and the theme days are a big hit which again, consistently vary. The management team are consistently on hand and can’t do enough for you when you need them. The childcare centre was open throughout COVID and whilst some activities had to stop/change – the care and dedication to making life as enjoyable and normal for the kids remained. I am so pleased we chose The Bees Knees for our girls, we are coming to the end of our time there which is really sad but I know they have been in the best care and had an incredible
time. Thank You Bees Knees! My twin girls have been going to The Bees Knees since they were 13 months and have loved every minute of it.

December 29, 2024 at 9:30 pmThey’ve taken excellent care of my daughter over several years. She loves it there and all the team. She’s developed superbly over her time there. The team are lovely and can’t do enough to help. Thoroughly recommended! Absolutely fabulous!

March 2, 2025 at 3:25 amI was so reluctant at first as I felt she was too young but the team at Bees Knees reassured me and proved to me that she is well looked after. She is consistently cheerful to go to childcare centre and her development is very great (thanks to all the team). Nothing is too much trouble, I would highly suggest Bees Knees as they do incredible jobs. My daughter started at The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School when she was 9 months old.

March 15, 2025 at 12:11 amHer educators are very encouraging of her and she has developed in specific areas over the last few months which makes me very cheerful as a parent. Highly recommended! My daughter loves going to The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School, she is very cheerful (when entering and leaving the premises), and enjoys going in every day.

March 29, 2025 at 1:20 amThe dedication, patience and assistance that the entire staffing team gives to every kid and their family is incredible. My daughter enjoys going so much that she asks when she’s going next, and is so proud when sharing about her day. I would like to say thank you to all team for the amount of work they do and continue to do. My daughter has been attending this childcare centre for two years now.

April 8, 2025 at 6:08 pmThey are both so cheerful to run in every morning, mostly without even a goodbye to us!
They are both leaving to start school in September; The Bees Knees and the lovely team there will be missed very much.
We can’t suggest them enough! We have two kids who attend The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School and have done since 2019; they both absolutely adore it and all the team.
Everyone who works there is incredible with both boys and has been all the way through.
Their discovering and development continue to improve every day, and this is largely down to the hard work the team do with them.

April 12, 2025 at 9:31 pmThey have an outstanding level of care for the kids – we could not suggest them highly enough. My eldest is excelling at school and that is down to the fab start he had at the childcare centre and both have been nurtured and cared for amazingly. Nothing is ever too much trouble, there is assistance of the whole family, not just the kids – we are very sad to be saying goodbye.
We will continue to assistance the childcare centre – even if its only recommending and help to fund raise. We have been with The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre for 9.5 years – this is our final week as my youngest son is due to start school this September.

April 16, 2025 at 12:24 amMy kid has excellent enjoyable, discovering and socialising there and is very cheerful. He has attended since he was a baby and has never been unhappy about attending. Would suggest this childcare centre without any hesitation. Keep up the great work!! Very well run childcare centre, welcoming, supportive, team consistently on hand to assist I help with any questions or concerns.

May 2, 2025 at 1:29 pmWe couldn’t be happier with our journey. The team are so welcoming, welcoming and approachable, they take the time to bond so lovely with the kids and give them a positive early years journey with adore, enjoyable and discovering. They are supportive with our kid’s routine, needs and adapt accordingly. Throughout Covid they were super reassuring and it is just what you need to sense when you are dropping off your most precious cargo in the mornings. We hear lots of lovely stories from our son and see pictures of his development on the app each day. Anything the team can do to help they will. I’ve recommended the childcare centre to a few local mums and after looking at quite a few it was consistently going to be the Bees Knees for us! Our son has been going to The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre & Pre School since he was 7 months and is now 3, our baby is soon to join.

May 3, 2025 at 7:45 pmThey really care for kids. We came here from a different childcare centre where kids were neglected and team were cheating. Here they soon built our trust with the childcare centre. Managers are there consistently for you and keep you in the loop of everything. My boy is so cheerful to go there and learnt and developed so much. I am so grateful to everyone. The best childcare centre with the fantastic team. I would suggest Bees Knee Day childcare centre 10000%.

May 19, 2025 at 5:00 amAll the team are fantastic and take so much care in all the kids. They are very attentive and so welcoming. I’m so glad I was recommended this childcare centre and I would highly suggest to everyone! I can’t speak more highly of this amazingly, attentive and fantastic childcare centre!

May 27, 2025 at 1:56 amSo when we had our son, I knew I didn’t want him to go anywhere else. The ladies are all so lovely. I sense confident leaving him there, knowing he’s in secure hands. We also get constant updates of how he’s doing, which really puts your mind at rest. I couldn’t suggest The Bees Knees Day Childcare centre enough, my two eldest boys attended the childcare centre they are now 10 and 7!
Indigo Turner
May 28, 2025 at 2:39 amCouldn’t be happier with the care and nurturing they’ve been providing for my son. Their team is top notch and I don’t hesitate to suggest them to anyone interested in real quality childcare. My son has been fully cared for, entertained and educated and I am so very grateful for everything you all do for us. So many activities and opportunities for growth and development and their communications to us as parents are frequent, useful, thorough and clear. Just exceptional. Remarkable childcare centre.

June 11, 2025 at 8:23 amHowever, I knew it was best for him. especially with how behind he was with his speech and discovering. From the moment I was in contact with The Bees Knees, I felt reassured. The first day of him going in. they told me to call as much as I needed; they were incredible! He’s been with them for nearly a year now, and wow, he has developed so so much, and it’s all down to the incredible team they have there! I was so chuffed that I also sent my youngest to them at 6-months-old, and he is so advanced with his understanding now he’s been there for 6-months himself, and again the team are just incredible! I cannot fault them at all; all the team members are incredible and so welcoming! The best childcare centre around for sure! I’ve never ever had a problem with them, and I wouldn’t want my boys to attend preschool anywhere else! Thank you a million times. My eldest son was born extremely prematurely; I was so anxious about sending him to a childcare centre and him being away from me.

July 7, 2025 at 12:38 pmI was extremely nervous when she started the Childcare centre. The first few weeks were very challenging and all the team there were very empathetic and showed a lot of patience. Gradually, my daughter started building self‑assurance and she has flourished ever since then. The team are very attentive, compassionate and understanding of your requirements. The management is very responsive and they will get back to you very shortly with any of your queries. The thing I most like about this Childcare centre is it provides a very homely setting and is not very commercial goal-oriented. Team put so much effort into organising parties and activities for the little ones. The team also dress up as per the theme and have a delicious menu for the babies to delight in. We are very pleased that we have found this childcare centre. My daughter had severe separation anxiety and she was never left alone before with anyone.
