My daughter is 13 months and has been at busy bees since August! She honestly loves the girls and they’ve helped her settle in really well. Everyone is so lovely and make you feel so welcomed, they send updates 1/2 times a week with pictures and a daily schedule of what she has eaten and done the toilet etc

ViewCastle View is everything I could have hoped for as a nursery for my child. They provide excellent food and activities all day and are caring and compassionate. Communication is quick and easy and everyone is always receptive to conversations and also to put my mind at ease. I was very anxious as a first time parent and the whole experience has been nothing but positive, working closely with what my child needs meaning they have settled and are well cared for.

ViewBoth my children attend this nursery and its been an excellent experience for both. The staff are caring and always go above and beyond. They take on feedback and are happy to talk through any worries. My eldest is in preschool and loves going in. She talks about the things she's learnt and I really feel she has come on so much because of the nursery input. My youngest is in the baby room and has made great relationships with the staff. I love the feedback at the end of a day.

ViewRight from our first visit to view nurseries to this very day Busy Bees Castle View has exceeded our expectations. The facilities and the staff are simply amazing. Our little girl has been there since she was 1 - she has loved every minute and we will be sad to leave in July this year. The team all take so much time to spend and engage with the kids. The range of activities is incredible and I love personally how they encourage and allow as much outdoor time as the kids want. Updates real time via the app are amazing. Food is always good and a variety. Feedback is welcome and is very much 2-way. Regular parents nights is great and welcome always great for 2-way communication. I feel the staff go over and above and are so welcoming, engaging and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend busy bees and the team - everything is amazing ! Folk might say it's costly - you get what you pay for I certainly don't mind paying it as my little girl is happy and safe and well cared for

ViewCastleview has a nurturing and supportive environment. Care plans and resources are carefully developed to support the children. They create opportunities for learning and are actively involved in the community I particularly value the visits to the local care home. The managment team have an open door policy literally speaking they are available at all times and deal with any enquiries or concerns immediately. I have had my son have a full journey at busy bees and there was no question when i had my daughter that castleview was the nursery for her.

ViewMy daughter absolutely loves this nursery! So do my wife and I. We always get a warm welcome when we arrive, the staff are very helpful and genuinely care about the children. During the run up to Christmas, they had lots of things planned, all of which my daughter loved! She got to meet Santa, received a lovely gift and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon discos. I can't recommend this place enough, feedback is acted upon immediately and the staff are excellent. Meals are varied and nutritious, when the weather is nice, they are outside playing a number of games.
