We have been with busy bees for nearly year now and my child and I have loved every minute of it. They are absolutely amazing, they always go above and beyond. They love my child like he's their own. You can tell all the staff love their jobs here because they are always so happy and it shows through the work they do. They also have their own chef that makes incredible meals for the children everyday too, which all gets uploaded to the app straight away. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Busy Bees Lancaster team.

ViewMy little girl has just left busy bees to start primary school. She loved her time at Busy bees, making friendships and developing all the essential skills. Busy bees has ensured that she is now ready to embark on this new chapter. Thankyou! Our little boy is also at Busy Bees were he is offered a wide variety of meals, which he loves! He has recently transitioned into a new class room which was made easy by staff, providing updates and clear communication. Staff know each individual childs interests and engage them in a variety of activities, including messy play! At all times we are kept up to date on what new skills they are working on with my child. A fab place to learn and play!

ViewBusy Bees at Lancaster is an outstanding nursery! Every parent will have different needs. For us going out to fresh air and healthy menus was one of the reasons we moved our child to Busy Bees from another nursery. Later, we discovered the Ethos of Busy Bees, the truly hollistic approach to children and families emphasising British values. The security measures are high. People who collect have to be approved first. I find this nursery super safe. Emergencies are managed by protocols and prevent anything serious happening to my children. Their infective disease prevention is really good. All staff are wonderful caring and patient. They know all children really well and parents can interact via an app too. Potty training was spot on. Activities are fun! My children love Busy Bees and made friends for life here. All cultures are included and welcome and their special days celebrated from Christmas to Eid. Toys are good quality and safe. Absolutely recommend!
