Our son joined Little Bees when he was 13 months old. We chose Little Bees because Ewelina seemed lovely and very accommodating (we didn’t want our son to eat meat) and the phone conversations we had with existing Little Bees parents over the phone filled us with confidence, as they were so positive. It was also really great to have a male carer in the form of Kris, Ewelina’s husband, who is great at entertaining the children. We’ve been continually grateful of this decision since.
Ewelina helped us to plan a settling in schedule that worked for our boy and my return to work. She was very flexible and understanding. She was very professional providing all the correct paperwork and clearly takes pride in her work and childcare setting. Ewelina welcomed our boy into her home and family.
We are soon leaving London and so after one and a half years, our son will be leaving Little Bees. Leaving Little Bees is the worst bit about leaving London! We feel so lucky to have found such a caring and nurturing environment that feels like family. Little Bees is a joyful, creative and loving place where the carers make a huge effort for the children. As well as a daily diary, we receive daily messages via WhatsApp telling us what our boy is up to and photos and videos too. There is both a private chat direct to the parents and a group chat with the other parents. Prior to Covid, Ewelina made an effort to have socials for the Little Bees and their parents, for example, we went camping and even had a Mums’ trip to the pub, all of which creates a lovely community. When our boy turned two we had the Little Bees over for a party and he always talks very fondly of his friends at Little Bees, Ewelina, Kris and Gosia. We know he’ll miss them all immensely.
We’re now expecting our second child and I wish we were able to send him/her to Little Bees, but unfortunately it is a bit too far from Sheffield! We’d absolutely recommend Little Bees.
