If you want a nursery where your child is going to be welcomed and looked after by wonderful staff then bumbles is the nursery for you. My child was welcomed by the nursery 1 year ago now and he has settled in so well. He enjoys all the activities that are on offer and all the extra services that come in, including the speech therapist, and makaton signing. My child has SEN and the support he is receiving is amazing, the sensory room is lovely and he really enjoys his time in there. Management team are great always keeping you up to date and communication is brilliant. I was so nervous about leaving my child in nursery but I’m so glad that I made the right decision and went through with it. Bumbles is brilliant and my child is thriving.

My child has been at Bumbles for 4 years now and the nursery has helped him grow into a confident, empathetic and bright little boy. The nursery is a community driven business with an emphasis on child first values. This means a heavy emphasis on learning through play. The nursery's sense of community accumulates into opportunities for parents to learn safeguarding like first aid as well as communication techniques like Makaton. They host bonfire and Christmas parties which makes it easier for parents to mingle and get to know each other. I highly recommend Bumbles as a nursery choice

This is a fantastic nursery . My little girl was so shy and she became so confident and developed in so many ways thanks to the kind and caring staff here. The building itself is lovely , the rooms are build for the kids and are mindful of different age groups. They are mindful of changing things up and have new play ideas for the kids almost if not daily. The parking for drop off /pick up is never a problem and is on a nice dead end street that deters silly drivers. Lots more to love about this place , highly reccomend

We have had such a fantastic experience with Bumbles since our son started in September. We really appreciated the home visit before settling in as that gave us a lot of confidence that they cared about getting things right for him. He's been able to form a good bond with his key worker Macey and we've both enjoyed the photos of him getting stuck in with activities. And they are great at getting him to eat and nap! He's come on such a long way.

After viewing a good majority of local nurseries in the area we thought we were set on our initial choice. Until a few weeks before our little girl was due to start settling in, it became apparent that the Admin to enrol her hadn’t been done (despite us paying registration fees etc). Although at the time this seemed disastrous, as they could no longer offer our desired days, it was an utter blessing in disguise. I took to Facebook frantically asking friends for recommendations of anywhere we might have missed when we were doing our initial shortlisting and we received an overwhelming response of people telling us to visit Bumbles for a viewing. I gave them a call to arrange and the fact they told us we could just rock up, without any pre arranged booking, immediately showed us that they are confident they deliver ‘outstanding’ care whenever you arrive. We went the very same day and after we had looked around we knew this place was miles above anything we’d seen previously. I went from feeling nervous about going back to work to excited for our little girl to join this amazing setting. They seemed to have thought of everything to make the transition as easy as possible. She’s been at Bumbles now for almost 3 years and loves all of the staff so much. They really must handpick the cream of the crop as every single one of them are so attentive and caring and really invest so much into our little ones happiness and development at Nursery. I can’t praise them enough!
