"I don't really know where to start. The team at busy bees do a fantastic job and my little boy loves going to nursery everyday. We are so sad to leave due to moving home. The team here have have helped my little boy learn to crawl, walk sing, use a spoon, say his first words, gain social skills and so much more. I know Fred will miss his friends and teachers. Alana, Despina, Heather, Callum and Aiden have looked after him from the beginning and I can't thank you enough."
