"My child is very happy coming and leaving nursery. Staff are informative. Due to restrictions being dropped it would be nice to be able to enter the nursery to pick up my child and see her playing which is something I’m yet to experience. It also will be quicker as some days I have to be home for certain times. "

"My son absolutely loves coming to Nursery. Staff are so friendly and helpful and supportive. Always kept up to date. My son has come on leaps and bounds since being at this nursery, he’s always talking about it and telling us what he’s been upto. He’s kept busy/entertained and doesn’t get bored. He loves all the activities, seeing staff and playing with his friends. I know he’s in safe hands and well looked after whilst in the care of the busy bees staff. Would and have recommended to others. "

"My son really enjoys coming into nursey often when at home he’ll ask to come to “busy bees” brodys development has come on so well and the girls work so hard towards that! Brody often comes home with lots of different art work and big smiles I get such a good hand over and it’s always lovely to see what he’s getting up to the only thing I don’t get much of us photos and have to sometimes remind the girls but they are straight on it when asked."
