Reviews

What
Camberley
parents say

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review, given that today was our daughter’s last day at Busy Bees Camberley before she moves to a new nursery next week. Ultimately, our decision to move her was made after reading the initial Ofsted report. As parents, we naturally want to make sure we are providing the best possible care for our daughter, and we also had concerns about what the future might hold for the centre, including the possibility of funding issues or closure. Given the circumstances outlined in the report and the uncertainty surrounding them, we felt it was best to be proactive and secure another place for her. However, from our personal experience, I genuinely cannot fault the centre or the majority of the staff we have dealt with. When our daughter first started, she would cry whenever we dropped her off and struggled to eat or sleep at nursery. Over the six months she has been there, we have seen such a huge change in her. She is now far more comfortable and settled, and we can leave her at nursery knowing that she is happy and excited to be there. She has also become particularly comfortable with Lucy, which has been lovely to see. We regularly received updates from the nursery throughout the day, which gave us reassurance and allowed us to see how she was getting on and how happy she was. We have also seen the impact nursery has had on her development at home — from wanting to feed herself to talking much more and becoming increasingly independent. Personally, I cannot thank Lucy, Jasmine L and the rest of the team enough for the care and kindness they have shown our daughter. There is a real sense of regret that we may have made the decision to move her a little too hastily in light of the concerns raised by the Ofsted report. Of course, as parents, we felt we had to make the decision we believed was right for our daughter at the time. I know there has been some negative press and many strong reactions following the news of the Ofsted report. However, I can only speak from our own experience, and that experience has honestly been nothing but positive. As I write this on our daughter’s final day, I genuinely do have a heavy heart. I want Lucy and the whole team to know just how much we have appreciated the care, support and affection they have given our daughter during the six months she has been there. Thank you for everything. We will genuinely miss you all.

They're amazing with my daughter, friendly and always caring. She likes attending nursery.

Our son has been attending this nursery for the past 17months.We are very happy with the whole experience.No complaints from us.Special shout out to Summer Raia and Francesca who were brilliant with our boy.Would not hesitate to recommend.
