ViewGreat staff, very organised, my daughter loves all the activities and the food! She settled in very quickly and made a lot of friends. They send photos of your child throughout the day so you know what activities they've been doing which is always lovely.

ViewWe picked Busy Bees having visited all the local nursery settings and can honestly say, we've never questioned our choice. Our eldest has thrived from joining full-time at age 1 and our youngest will join next year. As the parent of a child with a severe allergy, the level of support, care and attention that the staff provide goes over and above what I ever expected. Practically: parking is great when ferrying small children, the premises are well laid out - especially preschool with the garden and dining room. Educationally and pastorally: activities are creative and varied and we are kept well updated on development. My only complaint is that our daughter has bonded too well with the nursery team, often preferring them to us and refuses to come home!

ViewMy daughter has been coming to Busy Bees since she was 9 months old. For any first-time mum, it's always a worry if they don't like nursery but my daughter loves going here. She loves all the staff and the children she has been with. She has really come on being at Busy Bees and she will be very sad to leave when the time comes.

ViewWe sent our twins to Busy Bees preschool to get them ready for school, and it was the best decision we have ever made. The preschool team are absolutely incredible - always greeting the day with a smile and providing the children with fantastic activities throughout the course of their journey. Our twins have loved their time at Busy Bees, where they have felt safe and cared for. They have enjoyed the food and have made friends who they will be going to reception with. Cannot fault Busy Bees. I will miss knowing that my children are there! Thank you so much for everything Busy Bees! We will never forget you.

ViewBusy Bees has been amazing for my daughter, who started in the teenies room and is now in toddlers. She absolutely loves going. The staff couldn't be better, they are all so friendly and good with the kids. She is constantly doing fun activities, she eats all of the food they give her, which is varied and nutritious, and overall, it's just a great nursery.
