We’ve been so happy with Bumblebees Childminders and feel really lucky to have found them. They are so lovely and the communication is honestly brilliant - we’re always kept up to date and never feel like we need to chase anything. We also really appreciate the food they provide, with lots of variety and nutritious meals and snacks. Safeguarding is clearly taken very seriously too, which gives us so much reassurance. Most importantly, our little one is happy, settled and clearly so well cared for, which means the world to us. ❤️

My little girl has been going here since she was 9 months old and she is absolutely thriving. She has the best relationship with all the staff who treat her like one of their own. I am always updated on her progress and she loves spending her days within the welcoming, home from home setting. I am so glad i chose Bumble bees, they go above and beyond and i never have to worry about dropping her off.
