Great nursery, really friendly and caring staff. A lot of the staff are long serving which says a lot about the environment. I would definitely recommend to others!
Read on GoogleExcellent nursery! Having seen lots of nurseries before picking this one I can say with ease it’s is the best of the best. Made to measure in every way so that your children get the best start in their early years. Our little girl goes here and absolutely loves the team who work there. They are always very friendly and happy to discuss her day when collecting her no matter how many questions you have. Nothing ever seems too much to ask and they always come across as being very engaged in what our daughter is learning and understanding the new things she loves each week. Really puts us at ease knowing she is in such good care. The app they use is also excellent and keeps you updated throughout the day with notifications, photos and updates on our little girls development. 10/10.
Read on GoogleExcellent childcare! It's like Home away from home! Our son started going to Busy Bee Solihull since he was 6 months old. He has affection for the staff and has bonded with his key worker. All the team know his likes and dislikes, what he's learning and how he's developing, and they talk about him with affection. They have created every single room such a way that the toys and activities are according to their age/development. The transition from one room to another is according to age and it's always been smooth. Through the app they publish their meal every single day. I especially like the Observation section where they explain what activity your child is doing with every single detail. Overall excellent nursery. What else would any mum want when she knows her little one is happy and developing well in a nice and cosy environment!
Read on GoogleThe nursery has provided the best start in my daughter's educational life that I could have wished for. My daughter loves going there each day and comes home very tired but also very happy! They have been supportive, helpful and professional throughout my daughter's time. The best end to any day is hearing what she has been up to at nursery and seeing that smile on her face.
Read on GoogleOur Daughter attended Busy Bees Blythe Valley since she was 10 months old, and has recently graduated Pre-school at the age of 4.5 years. Our daughter has grown into a very kind and caring human who is not afraid to be herself. She continues to thrive academically and socially. All of the staff are wonderful and the culture is brilliant. Nothing is ever too much, and the communication is brilliant, especially during covid. We can't fault the nursery, so much so that we intend to send our 2nd child there. Thank you to all the team at Blythe Valley. A special thank you goes to Frances and Sian for always making our Daughter feel special.
