Parent Feedback & Reviews
At Busy Bees Preschool we value the thoughts, ideas and feedback of our children and families. Parent reviews, questionnaires and comments help us to reflect on our practice, celebrate what we do well and continue improving the experiences we provide for every child.
We invite parents and carers to share their views through questionnaires, review forms and informal conversations. Your opinions are incredibly important to us and help shape our setting, activities and future plans.
We love hearing about our families experiences at Busy Bees and appreciate every kind word, suggestion and piece of feedback shared with us.
We feel so incredibly lucky that Jacob had the chance to attend Busy Bees Preschool. It’s truly hard to put into words just how we feel and how special this place is. We know without a doubt that he has had the best time of his life there. His excitement every night before and in the morning has been heartwarming.When Jacob first started, we were naturally a little anxious because of his speech disorder. We didn’t want our gorgeous little boy to suffer with any communication, inclusion or confidence issues. But knowing he has so much to give the world, we knew we had to take that step and attending Busy Bees was the best decision. The support and understanding you’ve shown has been incredible. We are so thankful for everything you have done, which is obvious in his progress, and for the work setting him up for his next adventure into school. You are all nothing short of amazing! Genuine, caring, and endlessly dedicated, which shows in every interaction we have had with you. We know just how deeply you care about the children and cannot thank you enough for the amount of time and effort you have put into not only creating a wonderful nurturing environment, but also into all of the millions of engaging activities you have organised.Each journal entry in Tapestry has given us such joy and reassurance. As parents there is nothing better than knowing that not only is your child safe and happy, but seeing how much they have learnt and grown and how much their life has been enriched by everything you have done for them. Having those entries makes us feel so much apart of Jacob’s experiences. They spark further joy, as he loves to go back through the things he has done and excitedly talk about them. It’s also been so lovely to see the friendships Jacob has made during his time at Busy Bees. The children are so kind and caring with one another, no doubt a reflection of the values and guidance that they have been given. We’re so grateful to Busy Bees for giving Jacob such a wonderful start — it’s a place that will always have a very special spot in our hearts. We wish you and all your future busy bees all the best.

My son has been at Busy Bees for two years, and I’ve seen him transform from being quiet and a little anxious about starting preschool into a confident, outgoing child who is now genuinely excited about starting school. Whenever we walk past the preschool, he blows a kiss and tells me how much he loves going there, and I can see why. The dedication the staff have shown him is truly exceptional.Every day, he comes out of Busy Bees excited to tell me what he’s been up to, and most evenings I get a Tapestry update that shows exactly what he’s described. His activities range from sensory play, painting, and sports to planting and picking strawberries, meeting Patchy the bunny, watching the fire engine visit, and trips to the shop or park. The children also love parachute games and other creative group activities thoughtfully planned by the practitioners, who draw inspiration not only from Instagram but exploring the children’s own interests.The love, thought, and care the staff put into helping the children grow and learn in such a calm, nurturing environment is every parent’s dream. I’m beyond thankful to the Busy Bees team for giving my son the best early years experience possible. Thank you Busy Bees!

"Our daughter E has recently started at Busy Bees. We are extremely happy with how the transition has gone! The staff are incredible, friendly, nurturing and go above and beyond with the children. Our daughter is shy and we were apprehensive about how she would settle. She settled really well and very quickly thanks to all the staff. E has made a lovely bond with her key worker. E talks about her a lot and is very fond of her.
When I attended Busy Bees during the settling in process, I was blown away by the way the staff interact with the children. They are all so warm, caring and really knew all the children well. They play with the children and help to facilitate play between the children which I thought was brilliant. I really love the atmosphere at Busy Bees, all the children are excited to go in, in the morning and leave happy and smiling at the end of the day.
Busy Bees is great at creating a community, there are many events and opportunities for parents to get involved in, there is a stay and play coming up this week for example. E is really excited for her baby brother and I to come along and see what she gets up to.
The communication from the team has always been exceptional. We are really happy and thankful for the care E receives at Busy Bees."
