If you need a more stimulating environment for your children, somewhat of a structure for pre school kids and adequate communication between parents and staff this is not the place for that. I remember calling the nursery on 3 different occasions to ask what exactly they do with the children and it sounds like they just go with the flow of the day. No intension behind anything. Hardly have I seen messy play pictures and don’t even get me started on the food. Bare minimum observation and sometimes not at all.   I do a lot with my kids at home and the nursery was just not matching up. I think the manager  got frustrated with me because I wanted to know what they did or plan to do with the kids. This is not a free setting so I expected more. The nursery has a big name so I am disappointed to say the least with the service.",

I honestly believe this establishment is a scam. You don't cancel an appointment four times, especially with only an hour's notice each time. Furthermore, they call to schedule a convenient time, yet a different 'issue' arises every single time, which is not believable at all. Would you entrust a child to an organization that can't even manage a meeting or keep its word? Absolutely not!

Anthony has had a fantastic experience with Sittingbourne Busy Bees, customer service has been outstanding and everyone is really friendly and informative. I am kept fully up to date with everything. There is always great learning opportunities going on also which has helped my boy grow.

The staff are absolutely amazing here. Any concerns or worries and they explain everything. Nothing is too much for them. The way they care for my daughter is lovely. When she is wanting a cuddle they offer love and support. The food they give the toddlers is very healthy indeed. We have found an awesome nursery.. we couldn't ask for more. We are so very lucky.

If you want a place where you can take your kids to and pick them back up safely then this setting is fine. If you need a more stimulating environment for your children, somewhat of a structure for pre school kids and adequate communication between parents and staff this is not the place for that. I remember calling the nursery on 3 different occasions to ask what exactly they do with the children and it sounds like they just go with the flow of the day. No intension behind anything. Hardly have I seen messy play pictures and don’t even get me started on the food. Bare minimum observation and sometimes not at all. I do a lot with my kids at home and the nursery was just not matching up. I think the manager got frustrated with me because I wanted to know what they did or plan to do with the kids. This is not a free setting so I expected more. The nursery has a big name so I am disappointed to say the least with the service.

My son has developed leaps and bounds at busy bees. The ladies there are so good with him and he's formed lovely bonds with them. He has made lots of friends and is just so happy to be there. It's a joy seeing him thrilled to walk through the doors every day.
