Busy Bees Kids 1st Gosforth puts the family at the heart of the nursery. We are a purpose-built nursery all on one level with 7 beautiful, well-resourced, inviting childcare rooms all with access to an alluring, garden ready for the children to explore.

Our pre-school focuses on school readiness. Each child has a special diary which they share between nursery and home to make sure communication links are strong to ensure your child will transition into school with the self-esteem and confidence skills in addition to self-help and social interaction, alongside the other areas of development that they need.

We have a dedicated full-time housekeeper, chef, and assistant chef. Nutritional, fresh, food is prepared daily accredited by NHS Sure Start, we can cater for any child's dietary needs. 

Our aim is to give your child lots of experiences during their time at nursery, to help them be the best they can be and to provide them with the best start in life.

We cannot wait to welcome you to the Busy Bees family!

"I know my child is in good hands whenever I leave her with them. They are very responsive when jt comes to requests and whenever I notice something with my child. I love how my child is happy everytime I take her back home."

"This has been an amazing experience for our child, she has developed and grown in confidence such a lot since being at this nursery and I would recommend it to anyone. I would like to say that specifically this nursery is great for a very personal service where all of the staff take the time to really get to know your child, even the ones who don’t work directly with them. The setting, facilities and meals are also of an excellent standard."

"My little boy absolutely loves going to this nursery and there is no faults with the facilities and the lovely staff but it is WAY overpriced! £78.50 per day! It is the most expensive in the area with no added bonuses. "
