"Just a few lines to say how much we have appreciated everyone at Busy Bees over the past 3 and a half years for their hard work dedication and care looking after Benedict. He has learnt so much during his time at nursery and has enjoyed every minute. His time in pre-school has fully prepared him for starting school 'for real' in September and he is excited about joining his sister at school. We cannot believe that our time at Busy Bees is at an end (7years altogether with Florence!!) Thanks for all the fantastic memories and best wishes to everyone for a happy and successful future. "
