"I would not send my daughter anywhere else. She loves nursery and the staff, especially the ones she has had as her key workers as she’s gone up in the classes. She’s developed and come along so much with her speech and social skills, all thanks to the staff. "

"My son really enjoys his time at Busy Bee’s and I cannot fault the service they provide. I visited various nursery’s before choosing Busy Bee’s and felt that they were the most friendly and understanding. My son has been there for just over a year now and I am still really happy with my choice. "
