Hi, my name is Afsha Khokhe and I am the Centre Director at Busy Bees Maidenhead Norden Road.

I enjoy creating a nursery environment where children feel comfortable, confident and excited to learn. Watching children develop their personalities, build friendships and discover new interests is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.

I believe strong relationships are at the heart of a successful nursery. I work closely with my team and our families to make sure every child feels valued and supported, while having plenty of opportunities to explore, play and grow.
