Emelia, 3 years
Our daughter now 3 years, has attended Bumbles Nursery Aintree since she was 6 months old. Right from the initial show around and settling in visits we knew this was the best nursery for us.
The nursery is welcoming, friendly and the staff our highly knowledgeable in all areas and as first time parents it was a comforting aspect to know you could ask questions or advice.
Our daughter enjoys every moment of being in nursery and has formed lovely attachments with the staff throughout each of the rooms. The staff provide excellent activities and learning opportunities and we have seen our daughters development constantly progress. She has become a confident, chatty and outgoing little girl and the staff have played an important part in this.
This was now doubt the best decision we made and has provided our daughter with the best possible start towards her future education.
Ayla – Aintree Nursery
Ayla absolutely loves Bumbles she practically runs in, all the staff are amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better setting. The EYLog is fantastic and is regularly updated I love seeing what they are getting up to throughout the day.
Ethan – Age 4
Bumbles is an outstanding nursery and if you are considering a placement then I would not hesitate to recommend this setting. It’s a wonderful team of girls that have taken care of our little boy since he was a baby. Ethan has attended since he was 10 months old and we chose to keep him in Bumbles rather than move him to pre-school as he was so settled there and the standard of care has been amazing. Ethan has suffered with some health issues as a toddler and the care and attention the girls shown was second to none and they always made me feel at ease, even when I would call them often. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and our little boy has flourished under their guidance through EYFS. The eyLog system they use is fantastic and helps keep a track of your little ones learning and development and always makes for fun conversation each night, we love seeing the photos of what he’s been up to during the day with his friends. Food is brilliant and offers a 4 week rota with fresh food made on site, they also cater really well for children with allergies and encourage the children to try new things and new textures. Meal times are made fun with the food trolley, as well as encouraging the older children to be independent by having a breakfast station where they can help themselves. The planned activities are brilliant too and the children enjoy everything from playing outside in the very secure garden to all the structured learning, baking, messy play etc.
The children love the annual Xmas concert and it’s lovely that they celebrate different cultural events like Chinese New Year, world book day etc.
Ethan is nearing the end of his time at Bumbles now to move to primary school but he has enjoyed almost 4 years here and grown into a happy, confident and clever little boy and we are so grateful to all of the staff there for taking the best care of our little boy. If you are thinking of sending your child here I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Bumbles Maghull
We have three children who have all started in Baby Bees in Maghull Bumbles. Our little girl is still in baby bees, our youngest son is now in Bizzy Bees and our eldest was there from 2015-2019 and is now in school. The team at Bumbles are like a second family to us and our children. We can feel the staffs genuine care for them every day. They cheer them on during their first steps, they cuddle them when they need comforting and they are excited for them when they tell them their special news. Knowing that they have all had those extra eyes and ears looking out for them, supporting them and engaging with them in ways that they wouldn’t have the opportunity to at home, fills us with confidence that they are developing well and happily. We honestly could not be without the nursery and the staff – no request is ever too big or too small when it comes to the children’s well-being. Thank you for all being so friendly, professional and for getting to know our children so well to enable you to give them the best care they need.
Bumbles Orrell Park
Firstly, I want to thank you for all your help and sending that referral off when my Health Visitor insisted he was just being “a typical lazy boy”.
He has been offered so much and I’m beyond thankful. Secondly, to all of his key carers past and present who have worked with him. But a massive thank you to Megan. The feedback I got from Helen about Megan yesterday was unbelievable. One of the comments was she had never met a key worker who knew a child as much as her. Her enthusiasm, their bond and also her willingness to work with him. Well done Megan we as a family are so grateful
Exceptional Childcare
I just wanted to send some feedback regarding the childcare my son received in Orrell Park Honey Bees. He has been with yourselves a year now , and his care in both the Baby Bee Room and Honey Bee Room has been exceptional. As a parent I really worry about leaving him for such long hours, but even when I collect him at 5.45pm he is always so happy. It is quite clear from his behaviour and the conversations with the staff that he is well looked after.
Bumbles Aintree – Parents Evening Feedback
Many thanks to all of the girls for the amazing support and care they give. Mason is thriving and constantly learning, we are truly grateful.
We are so pleased with our decision to enroll Olivia to Bumbles. She loves coming and the girls seem to have built a great bond with her.
Bumbles is a Fantastic Nursery!
Bumbles is a fantastic Nursery, all the team are amazing with the children, and it really is a home from home Nursery! Not only for the children but for us parents too! The Nursery displays excellence of care by always engaging in conversations with children and parents about how there morning has been or weekend etc. If returning from sickness, staff are always keen to know how the child has been and if a child is off sick and we forget to call, they always give a courtesy call in the morning to check the child is ok and to understand why they have not turned in.
Learning and Development
The learning and development for the children is amazing, the staff & key carers are always checking in on how the parent feels the child is doing on certain subjects, or asking if a behaviour displayed is something they also show at home. just finding out general information about a child’s progression to see how they can support them in their learning journey.
The Nursery provides inspirational environments in so many different ways! They have multiple environments set up in the classrooms on displays and activity stations for the children to play and learn from. They also include displays outside of the rooms to show they have had conversations with the children about their weekend and what they got up to so the parents can read it too.
Parents view on staff
Bumbles has an excellent way of pursuing staff development, they are always supportive to staff in what they need & help them progress, the Nursery is always praising staff for their hard work and display staff appreciation for all to see.
Staff are always happy to chat to parents and I will be honest, I probably go for a little one-to-one sometimes just to have a natter, even at times when staff are busy they always find time to be warm and welcoming to both children and parents.
We will miss the Nursery!
Rachael (Manager) has been fantastic with everything, we will be gutted the day Emily goes to school, she loves it so much. They’re all great, we are really made up with it and best of all we get on with everyone!
Been there for 3 years
Great Nursery. My daughter has been there for 3 years and loves the staff and other children. As a parent they are caring and accommodating to our needs. Would highly recommend.
