Say hello to Bee Curious, our exciting new curriculum! As the UK's only independently evaluated early years curriculum, it fosters a love of learning, giving your child a head start in life.
Our Busy Bees nursery in Warton is a 'home-from-home', with a warm, friendly atmosphere where your child can thrive.
Conveniently located by BAE Systems, Warton, we provide childcare for babies, toddlers, and preschool-age children throughout the week.
Each age group has its own dedicated space within our nursery. We like to ensure children can develop at a pace that they're comfortable with. Having these separate spaces allows children to feel confident as they grow and learn alongside those at a similar stage in their development journey.
Your child's day at our Warton nursery will never be boring! Our rooms are equipped with toys and resources designed to encourage little ones to become curious explorers. We have a large outdoor space, so they can have fun in the fresh air. There's always plenty to keep your child involved and engaged.
Our nursery is also home to some very special friends—our nursery pets, including chickens and giant African land snails! These friendly animals offer unique opportunities for children to learn about nature, responsibility, and empathy.
We also prepare your child for their next big milestone - the move to full-time primary school education. All our activities are tailored around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Our fully qualified teacher provides lots of exciting learning opportunities.

My child has been attending Busy Bees Warton since they were 5 months old (now 15 months). We have been very pleased with the care provided by the nursery. The staff are lovely, genuinely care for the children and all seem to take pride in their jobs. From the updates we get via the app it is clear that they are providing varied and age-appropriate activities to support the children's development and milestones.

ViewWe've been with Busy Bees for over 5 years now, with all our children attending. The staff know the individuality of all their children so wonderfully, they have such care and support for every one of them. If families have challenges they empathise beautifully and are always willing to help where they can! Our children have amazing bonds with the staff and their friends and we absolutely love the intimacy and community of this nursery! So much so that we are still friends with our nursery group even though our children are in later stages of primary! We've found the smaller setting really lovely and it's nice to see the integration of different ages. We have been so grateful for such an amazing nursery experience for our children and we know they prepare and put them in good stead for their years ahead.

ViewOur eldest child was at Busy Bees Warton for 3 years (now at School) and our youngest has currently been there for a year. Both saw amazing leaps in development because of their time at Busy Bees, especially the eldest as he was impacted by lockdown during Covid, and the isolation definitely had an impact. Our children love(d) going to nursery and they're always happy to be there. You get loads of contacts, pictures, and updates, and all the staff takes a strong interest in every child. The food and menu always look amazing so you know your children are getting a healthy meal every day.

ViewMy toddler has been at Busy Bees in Warton full-time for a year now and I have nothing but the highest praise for the nursery and the staff. It's a really homely setting and the staff go above and beyond in terms of the care they provide the children and for parents too - whenever you have any questions they couldn't be more helpful. My daughter absolutely loves going, has formed some lovely friendships and whenever I collect her they all seem so happy. In terms of facilities, there's a lovely large outdoor play area with lots of resources available and there are a lot of engaging activities on offer throughout the day (messy play and the pet chickens being particular favourites!). There's an on-site chef who provides varied & nutritious meals throughout the week too and huge thumbs up for this nursery, the manager and another member of staff in particular do a fantastic job of managing it with the team and I would recommend it to anyone.

ViewMy son is attending nursery since he was 18 months old. He settled very fast. He is very happy going to nursery. Staff are amazing and helpful, very good communication between nursery and parents. Really happy with the nursery app as well. Nursery is clean and tidy, lots of toys and activities during the day. Also, my son really enjoys the food. I will highly recommend it to anybody looking for a nursery.

ViewMy daughter has been attending Busy Bees since she was 5 months old, she is now 4 and getting ready for big school. Busy Bees Warton has been amazing with my little girl, so much so that I also decided to send my 10-month-old son here. The staff are so friendly and have really helped my daughter blossom and grow. She loves attending and has never had any issues going into nursery. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone!

ViewThe nursery might not be as polished as others and if you want your child to come home in pristine white clothes, it is not the place for you, but if you want them to have fun, play in mud, feed chickens, wash snails and so much more, I would highly recommend. My only regret is that I didn't send my child sooner! The staff are fantastic and really bring out the best in children, nothing phases them and they are always on hand to speak to.
