Where to begin. My son has been on quite a journey, from starting with Immy at the age of 6 months old to sadly leaving her behind to start his journey in reception at a Specialist school.
Immy has been there every step of the way, from those first referalls all the way through to helping with EHCP applications, working alongside speech and occupational therapists, taking on extra qualifications to better her knowledge of SEND needs...the list is endless and this woman is like gold dust!
Anyone thinking of Immy for childcare has come to the right place. Whether your child has SEN or not, they will be looked after and nutured to the highest standard. Her home from home is the perfect setting, with meticulous planning to be fully inclusive of all children. The many activities she plans are amazing, with regular visits from Spanish teachers, Reading Fairy and Boogiemites..the list goes on!
Her home cooked food is another thing to praise, I am often left jealous by what my son has been offered!
Not only will your child be in the best place, but as a parent or carer you will also be seen. Nothing is too much trouble for Immy and she always strives to help in any way that she can, answering any questions or signposting to other places. As a SEN parent, I am not sure what I would have done without her over these years and she will be sadly missed by my family.

Imogen has a passion for kids and every day is an adventure with her. My fears of leaving my child with a stranger disappeared shortly after she settled in. Stranger became more like a family member now.
Variety of food is served and from the daily reports that are easily accessible via an app I can not only observe what's been eaten, but also what's the little one been up to.
Setting goes through quite a few theme changes during the year, depending on the seasons (kids find that very exciting), it's always kept tidy and safe too.
Overall outstanding and highly recommended.

Without a doubt, the BEST childcare providers we’ve ever had dealings with. My middle child has been going to bunnies for around 18 months now and absolutely loves it. His progress since starting at bunnies is amazing, the trips and adventures they have are always so much fun for the children. It’s a real home from home setting which I love. Neither Imogen or Joe are shy of giving your child a cuddle or a love, which I think is super important. My youngest has recently joined bunnies too as I return back to work from maternity leave, and I have no concerns about her whilst in their care at all which is great. I love getting updates throughout the day on the app, and seeing loads of photos. The setting is always spotless, but the children are always messy which is the sign of a fantastic day! The energy Immy and Joe have really shows with the activities planned. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I feel so lucky to have found Busy Bunnies! My little girl enjoys her days there, packed full of fun activities. I love that Imogen & Joe take the bunnies on walks around the village and do a lot of messy play outside. It is so nice to know that my daughter is in a safe home from home environment. I have seen her development so much since she started 6 months ago. Her speech has come on so well, and her confidence around other children is so nice to see. On the days my daughter is there, I get informed of what my daughter is eating, her nappy changes and LOTS of photographs, which I love to see. It’s so nice to see my daughter enjoying her day while I’m at work. I’m comparison to Maisie’s previous Nursery, I can see how hot on Busy Bunnies are with their cleanliness! The house is always spotless and the toys are regular changed over and cleaned. You do an AMAZING job Imogen & Joe, I’m so grateful for all you do for Maisie. The best local childcare for sure!!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Busy Bunnies. Our son has grown and blossomed so much since starting and he loves being there. Imogen and Jo have created an amazing setting filled with toys and activities geared towards development and learning. These activities change on a daily basis giving the children new opportunities for fun and learning which they look forward to. Holidays and festivals from around the world are celebrated, teaching the children respect and appreciation for other cultures. There are regular walks in the woods where the children learn about nature and how to care for the planet. But most of all we feel that Imogen truly loves the children and loves her job. She is deeply invested in caring for and helping each child as a unique individual. She is always available to discuss any challenging issues our son may be going through and works hard to find solutions that are tailored to his individual needs. Honestly we couldn’t recommend her highly enough and would give 10 stars if we could.
