Busy bees is a friendly, warm and lovely environment and I’m so glad we managed to get a space for our son. Staff are positive, nurturing, understanding and reassuring and go above and beyond in what they do. We are so happy with all of the staff in Bombo room and really hope our little boy continues to thrive as he goes through the nursery. Our experience up until now has been amazing. Big shout outs to Grace and Gemma especially.
