I couldn’t be happier with our daughter’s time Busy Bees Weat Byfleet. From the very beginning, she has absolutely loved going in and has truly thrived. Seeing her run into nursery every morning so happy and excited has been the loveliest thing, and it’s a real testament to how warm, caring and nurturing the staff are. A special thank you to Abi. She has built such a lovely bond with my daughter and is clearly so loved by her. It has been incredibly reassuring knowing she is in such kind and caring hands.

Busy bees west byfleet is fantastic. The staff are amazing and so caring towards my child and others that i’ve seen upon drop off and pick up. The dedication they have to fulfil children’s needs and requirements like at home routines and how they keep it going in the centre is phenomenal. My daughter loves this nursery i love seeing how happy she is with the staff members in the setting like Hannah and Chloe. The communication between staff and parents is crucial and well met in my opinion which is so key for keeping a healthy environment for your child. I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve received so far.
