Childminder in Langdon Park

So happy we found Buzzzy Bees!

Eugenie cared for our twins from the age of 22 months for about 6 months (when we moved away from London). We were really sorry to say goodbye to Eugenie and her family, we had looked forward to seeing them every week. I had been apprehensive about having a childminder as we'd only had experience of nursery prior to this but Eugenie was immediately reassuring. Eugenie is a wonderfully caring, hardworking and positive person. She is passionate about supporting children's development and is generally a lovely person to know! We received daily updates and lots of photos of the girls enjoying themselves playing outside, on walks, making a mess, eating loads of fruit... The playroom and garden at her house are well laid out and equipped with lots of activities.

We'll be forever grateful that we had such a good experience with our first childminder, but it will be a tough act to follow :-)

Absolutely amazing care

My little boy and I couldn't be luckier to find Eugene! She is an absolutely amazing person. He loves spending time in her care and he made so much progress since he started. She fell down from heaven. Couldn't ask for anyone better to look after my little one, I feel relieved I can trust someone 100% to look after him just as if I was doing it myself and that he is in safe hands. I get updates during his time there on what he is up to and what he has been doing, with pictures? I couldn't be happier to see that my boy is looked after with so much care and attention. It's more like family and it's more personal which I'm very very happy about. Cannot prise Eugene enough.

Excellent

My son visited Eugenie in 2016 (Feb-Nov) and I can't express how happy I am about finding such a great place for my son. He just turned one at that moment and I was searching a childcare option for him because my maternity leave ended - and everything was just perfect. Eugenie planned a lot of time for us to settle my little one - all her suggestions were really helpful to make such change in his life very smooth. I'd like to mention healthy food - that was critical for me because he was so young - so you could be sure she is providing kids with great amount fruits and veggies. Also Eugenie has nice garden - so they spend a lot of time outside is safe environment. Finding such a great place made me very confided in going back to work (ah, and also Eugenie send me photos and short notes about my son through the day - that was great way to make me sure that he is happy). I could easily recommend Eugenie - she is very responsive to kid's needs and treat them tenderly :)

Excellent Childminder. No complaints whatsoever!

We have been very happy with the care Genie and Oliver gave our little boy. He's been going to BuzzzyBees since he was 6 months. Taking him there made it easier for me to go back to work as my husband and I quickly felt very confident that he'll be in good hands.
He barely ever hesitated in just running off to meet his little friends as soon as we dropped him off and seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself at Buzzy Bees - which made it easier for us to part with him every morning.

The good natured care you get with Genie and Oliver isn't something you can pay for. They treat all their kids as special individuals and our boy definitely seemed to feel he had special relationship with both of them. I will not hesitate to recommend BuzzzyBees for anyone looking for exceptional care by a loving carer.

Professional, Caring and Sensitive

Eugenie has been taking care of my 4 year old daughter after school for the past 4 months. She is professional, caring and sensitive to my child's need. Though i had a specific dietary requirement, which is relatively new for her, she ensures that she gives variety and healthy food for my daughter. I remember telling her not to bother much and give just bread/jam or milk when she asked me ideas for my daughter's diet. She told me that she wants to try variety and feels good when she sees kids eat what they like. Now, after 4 months, she can give me a list of healthy menus which my daughter likes :)

The environment is very good with lots of toys and activities which keep them occupied. She is proactive in updating me when i pickup my daughter, with observations, right from what my daughter ate, small anecdotes and circulars/updates from school.

Having moved from India very recently, I had a bit of anxiety in trying to find a good childminder. Eugenie is an excellent childminder whom i am happy to recommend.
