ViewMy two children attend Busy Bees Thurstaston. I have found it a reliable, secure and caring childcare setting. My son attends pre-school and is being well-prepared for his educational future ahead and undertakes a wide range of fun activities, indoors and out. My daughter attends the baby room, her care is overseen by two members of staff, in particular. I cannot praise these two staff members enough. My daughter is attentively supported by the team and has so much fun at nursery. She is able to take part in so many creative, sensory experiences. Meanwhile, she has been supported in becoming independent in her dressing, loves to play and engage with books and gets plenty of time outdoors. The two members of staff are so gentle, kind and very professional - Busy Bees Nursery should be proud of their hard work.
