ViewAll the staff have been so lovely and welcoming since my little girl started and has helped her settle quickly. She loves coming home and telling us all about what she has learnt in their preschool room. The creativity of some of the staff is outstanding; and clearly gives the children experiences they may not receive out of the setting. Would highly recommend Cornwall Road Busy Bees.

ViewAn absolutely fantastic nursery, my son has attended since he was 18 months old and is now 4 and a half. The staff make days at nursery enriching, engaging and happy. He loves his time there, and I love that I have somewhere to drop him off that he will happily run into each time he goes, and I pick him up every day chatty and full of stories of his day. Reports and updates from his key worker are great, I will be gutted to lose this setting from our lives when he goes to school!

ViewFrom the moment I stepped in to Cornwall Road Busy Bees I knew it was the place for our little one. I had heard great things from friends who also had their children there but after our visit I didn't need to look round any others! I was worried our son may struggle a bit with separation anxiety even though I knew he was ready as he's such a sociable little thing, but he absolutely loves it and babbles away constantly to me as soon as I go to collect him! Everyone is so friendly, and the app they have updating you on their day is extremely reassuring!

ViewOur daughter has been at Busy Bees Cornwall Road around 6 months now. All the doubt, worry and apprehension a first time parent has about sending their child to nursery ended after the first week. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the safety and happiness of the children, and treat them almost as if their own. The nursery is in a fantastic location - parking is easy, and it is very leafy. Everything inside the nursery is designed to capture the imagination of the children and to aid their development. The communication to parents is extremely good and we are kept well informed throughout the day via a great app, and at pick up/drop off times by the staff. All of the staff deserve the utmost credit as they work incredibly hard. We absolutely made the right choice when choosing this nursery, and would encourage any other parent to do the same.
