ViewMy child is very well looked after at Busy Bees and has made some close bonds and relationships with the staff there. The environment is very wholesome and conducive to her learning needs and with the support of her key worker she has made great strides in her development. I am confident she is receiving the best care and support at the nursery and would like to thank all the staff involved with her care for their consistent loving and patient approach to looking after her daily, you are all very much appreciated. It is comforting to know she is at a home away from home when she is there.

ViewI cannot ask for a more caring nursery. The attention busy bees have to learn the individual needs and personality of my children is just amazing. I am a parent who over thinks and calls up when I feel to, not once have they made me feel like I cannot do so. Both my children have an attachment to their key workers aswell as Nikki the amazing centre director. Busy bees is everything I could have hoped for and more. I would recommend them to any parent who is looking for a nursery. My daughter's personality has flourished since starting here. My son who is non verbal and not trusting of any one apart from his parents. Now loves all the staff runs on to greet them in his own way. The support I have gotten from the staff regarding his extra needs has been something that I cannot thank them enough for. As a parent with 2 under 3s who was feeling overwhelmed about returning to work Busy bees put all my worries to rest. Thank you to Nikki and all the staff at the nursery.
