"Busy bees is a fantastic nursery and I’m so happy I chose it for my daughter. All of the staff are lovely and always so helpful and provide regular updates through the app and at the end of each day. The activities and crafts they do each day are so much fun for my daughter and she loves it. She has brilliant meals every day and more often than not has seconds as she loves the food so much. I cannot thank the staff there more and would recommend the nursery to everyone as it truly is the best."
