"Adrian and I would like to say a big thank you to you all for looking after, caring and nurturing Maya for the last 4 years. Maya has treated Busy Bees as her second home and you all as her second family, she certainly could not have been happier anywhere else. You have loved an cared for her and we thank you for that, she has picked up these qualities in turn and has become an even more loving and caring child herself.
Maya has developed many skills at Busy Bees and become a right character using many of these. For all these reasons we would have no hesitation ever recommending Busy Bees at Shire Park to anyone else in the future. Maya will certainly miss you all as will we both.. Thank you again"
- Nishma, Adrian and Maya
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after lily for the time she was with you. She truly enjoyed all her time at Busy Bees and looked forward to going everyday she was there and will certainly miss all of you very much as will David and myself. Lily has developed so well since she has been there and all the people who cared for her have real made an impression on her. The nursery is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
"A wonderful Nursery, everyone is so inviting and welcoming. I was worried leaving my little one at Nursery as she has eczema and food allergies but I need not have worried, the wonderful staff ensure she receives all her treatment and the correct food, leaving me with peace of mind."
"When I placed my child into Busy Bees I thought it would be like any other nursery setting… she would learn to play alongside other children, learn to eat a little more than she has done at home and generally have a ‘nice’ day whenever she went. Busy Bees, however, has accomplished so much more than that with Sabrina. Within 5 months, she has developed into a confident young child who eats almost anything put in front of her (with a little encouragement!)
She is always keen to talk about her days there and misses going on her days off.
The staff are friendly and supportive of any concerns you may have as well as always willing to help in whatever capacity they can – for both parents and child - always having a smile on their faces, even on a Monday morning!!
I would thoroughly recommend Busy Bees to any parent out there who is looking for a setting where their child will develop and feel like home from home."

"My child has been attending nursery from the age of 5 months and the care he has received has been outstanding.
From an early age he has been made to feel like an individual who's thoughts and interests are important and of equal value of each child who attends. Each day I am happy to hear about his progress and achievements and I am happy to share with the nursery his interests at home so my child feels secure and the care is continuous. At the end of each day we discuss what he has learned and enjoyed doing
I am also made to feel reassured that my child is given he best care. I have updates daily on how he performed and every member of staff takes an interest in each child. This makes my child feel wanted and valued and part of the Busy Bee's family. Also any concern I have are taken seriously and I am listened to, this is important to me.
Busy Bee's has satisfied my child's hunger to learn about the world around him; his local environment by visiting local shops and attractions, the library and theatre. Nationally he is involved in key fundraising events and internationally he learns languages and the cultural differences of others
Leaving nursery in the summer Mikey will take with him a strong sense of self, what it is to be an individual, tolerance of others no matter their start in life and I feel the key social skills he has learned during his time in nursery will be a positive benefit in his new school. I am also highly impressed in Busy Bee's interest in the transition period from nursery to school. Speaking with other parents who have children at nurseries throughout the country, most do not offer this care. I feel truly privileged!"
