  My experience with Busy Bees has been mixed. I appreciate the care and support provided to Natalie, but my personal circumstances have changed, particularly regarding childcare arrangements and my university commitments. I would have appreciated more flexibility and support in finding arrangements that work for my family’s needs. Thank you to the staff who have supported Natalie during her time at the nursery.

  They started off quite well with my son entrusted under Jessy as the he was welcomed into the nursery. Fast forward after a month they abandoned my child, total negligence and other stuff going on because my son couldn’t really express himself at the moment. A cheerful, happy boy who at 2years and 6months exchanges pleasantries with all staff very friendly yet he was maltreated, made him to be terrified and unhappy just at the sight of the nursery environment. The nursery will promise to keep record of activities of your child which they will never comply to. They will just do at the beginning and then stop . My son was made unhappy, terrified and that breaks me because I don’t know what they did to my son. Once my son gets to the nursery entrance he becomes terrified and the day I decided is enough was the day he ran from the entrance running into the Road thankfully his Dad caught him because he might have gotten hit by a car passing just because he was terrified, a nursery he used to like and was happy with. The painful Part is that he was showing signs but because he couldn’t really talk we didn’t understand him and had to make him pass through those careless staff for over a month and each time We came to pick my son up we meet him crying with a red eyes and face from crying. He starts crying at drop off till picking him Up so imagine the hours and the staff never cared to give us a callIf it was a case of unsettling which is not because he’s done almost twoMonths happy there. At the time this was going on we also noticed that most kids were unhappy while their parents were dropping them Off. So the day I withdrew him permanently he was crying had ran away from his dad who was dropping him off and the dad called me to complain that he was crying. I gave 2hiurs before going to the nursery and the receptionist at the day was the acting manager who kept me at the reception for 20-30 minutes just to clear that mess . They went and brought jessy from her room to be with my son snd yet whenI met my son he was red from crying . Immediately he saw me he was begging me to Take him home. He’s been like that for Over three weeks crying and no staff cared. I made a complain to the acting Manager and she promised to as the room managers what could have gone wrong . I waited for 48 hours and never got a message from them rather I got a mail asking me to pay excess fee for withdrawal. What an insensitive organization unfit to entrust innocent children who can’t take care of themselves but expected to be protected by these adults who are inhuman to the kids. Parents, pay attention to your kids, not every cry is from missing the parents sometimes the kids are trying to communicate to you. No record keeping of your child’s activities, they pay attention just to get you to register your child and relax then they practice what they like. This is an honest review from a traumatized parent. It took me time to Do this.it’s been 3months+ I withdrew my son and I still try to understand what went wrong, I still try to bring him around the nursery premises and it’s same terrified disposition and he will be crying saying no mummy no mummy not this School. He’s happy with other school and play groups but not this one he started with happily before they started mail treatment. I have several mails with the nursery they know what they did .
