Inclusion & environment
How they support every child

Staffs are compassionate about the children. Overall we are very pleased, only suggestion is that more and more nurseries are switching to the digital reports and send pictures during the day to the parents, in this regard bouncing bees is still using old ink and paper also there is a dump smell which i believe with professionals regualer deep cleaning it will improve the atmosphere. Aside from this bouncing bee is a small family business that strives at making both parents and children comfortable.

The staff at Bouncing Bees have been fantastic and very caring. Our son wasn't talking and had trouble following simple instructions but after attending Bouncing Bees he has improved a lot. Tunguy and his staff have been very accommodating and caring. They also offer various activities and have so many toys. They also keep a track on your child and work with the parents in order to achieve certain goals or tasks to help your child grow. I would recommend Bouncing Bees without any hesitation.

Thoroughly disappointed with the experience in which i was faced with today. Admittedly, i was a few minutes late to collect my child (i arrived at 6:04 and collection is for 6pm. I was met by staff at the door and before i was given the opportunity to apologise, a member of staff began to irrationally and erratically proclaim that I am constantly late on a recurring basis- which is untrue. I usually have zero issues with this nursery. However, as previously stated, i do not appreciate nor do i accept the disrespect within the way in which i was spoken to today. The passive aggression and the guilt tripping only added to this- I was told i was keeping all staff behind and they leave at 6, although the nursery closes at 8pm? Again, i am thoroughly disappointed and feel let down with todays experience as this is unusual for the younger, kind respecting staff i am usually met with. Its a shame that not all staff members have a sense of kindship.
