What an amazing nursery full of amazing people! We were quite nervous to send our second daughter to a nursery as our eldest had a bad experience in a different setting, but oh my goodness Busy Bees Barlborough has more than restored our faith! This is a brilliant setting with absolutely amazing staff. They all go above and beyond and have provided outstanding care for our little one. She has gone from being a shy little wallflower who cried when we dropped her off to running in happily, chatting none stop about the staff and her little friends! We are so grateful to all of the staff who work tirelessly to meet all of the children’s varying needs (and I know how hard this is as I work as an Infant School teacher). Special shout out to all staff in Bumbles room and Buzz 1 - you are all amazing! We will miss you all, thank you for your endless positivity and being such a friendly face to see each day. We feel so sad that yesterday was Ava’s last day but we know she will thrive at school and a lot of that is down to the care, support and guidance you have given her. Thank you again Busy Bees Barlborough - you really are awesome!!!
