Busy Bees Saxon Street is a fantastic day care setting in Milton Keynes with 5 spacious well-equipped rooms designed around children’s individual needs and interests. In our baby room, we have a separate sleeping area where our babies can sleep peacefully while the older children can continue to learn and explore their environments. The bright and stimulating spaces offer a wide range of resources available both indoors and outdoors. Gardens are an extension from the children's base rooms and each age group has access to its own garden area. The free flow system in place supports children's independence. There are lots of opportunities for the babies and children to explore, create and enjoy extracurricular activities such as yoga, teddy tennis, and football.  

The qualified and experienced team at our nursery in Milton Keynes are passionate about giving each child a head start in life. They ensure children experience a home feel atmosphere that enables them to learn in a free flow environment while following their interests and building their confidence and personalities. We also pride ourselves in building excellent relationships with parents and we are always available to offer advice, suggestions and support to all parents, as well as reassurance when leaving your precious bundle for the first time.
