ViewMy daughter was 10 months old when she started and was understandably sad when I left her at nursery. After a few weeks she has really settled in well and smiles excitedly at all the staff now which makes me feel more at ease. The staff give me a good handover when I go to pick her up even though a lot of the info is on the app. She seems to be doing lots of art & crafts even though she is still young. They try to spend lots of time outside in the garden if the weather is good. The meals seem varied and healthy and she is eating all of it so it must be good. Apart from a little cold she also hasn't had a lot of illnesses yet either (fingers crossed). We are very happy with Busy Bees Shenley, no complaints from us

ViewWhen picking nursery for my son I was very hesitant due to him being nonverbal. From the initial visit I felt comfortable sending him. He settled in so well. The nursery have worked extremely hard to help my son with his needs and anyone who has seen him since he started can see a huge improvement. One staff member in particular especially has built a great relationship with him where although he can not voice his needs she understands him very well. He gives eye contact which is a huge indication of the work everyone has put in. I am extremely grateful to everyone in the nursery for what they have done and sending my son to Busy Bees Shenley was the best decision. They have a genuine care for the kids which as parent puts me as ease.
