I have been taking my son to Busy Bees for three months now and have been extremely pleasantly surprised.
we met Tracey before we had James to see if it would work as both my partner and i work away a lot and would need a stable, affordable and somewhat flexible form of childcare for our baby.
James goes to Busy Bees monday to friday, 8am to 6pm which is a very long time, but by being with a time served registered childminder this has eased our worries. she can do one to one and group activities and he has learnt so much already.
we send him to her with his milk and food and extra clothing plus nappies etc, but we have given her extras of everything just on the off chance its needed.
drop off and pick ups go smoothly as she is strict about saying goodbye at the door, which has saved the tears.
we get regular updates on his day to day activities like music class, and play center visits. I also got some lovely hand paintings last week for mothers day!
Tracey has a facebook page where i can see what hes been up to with photos, which my family can also look at and keep up to date with his development as they live far away.
we have been so happy with Busy Bees Childcare and will carry on taking James to her probably until hes too old!
