Welcome to our Outstanding Busy Bees nursery at Blythe Gate in Solihull! Here, we provide the perfect environment so that your child can learn, grow and develop at their own pace, to ensure they have the best start in life. 

Our nursery has recently been fully refurbished to offer five large fully equipped rooms which enable the children to explore and experience different learning areas. At Busy Bees, we understand that every child's development journey is different, therefore we offer an extensive range of activities and resources which are tailored perfectly to suit the ages and needs of all children in each of our rooms. 

Your child will be able to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors throughout our three secure garden areas with a focus on learning through play. These outdoor spaces are equipped with age–appropriate resources and there are always fun-filled activities planned, designed to keep your child’s mind and body happy and engaged.  

Many of the team at Blythe Gate are long serving, dedicated to giving the best care for your child to ensure they enjoy their time at nursery. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and strive to help prepare your child for their next big milestone; primary school. 

We also have a wonderful on-site Chef who prepares delicious and nutritious food from NHS accredited menus, making sure your little one eats well throughout their day and of course we cater for individual dietary requirements. 

Using our ParentZone app you’ll be able to stay up to date with your child’s day. This is a wonderful way to keep you connected with the nursery staff and you’ll be aware of all the activities your child has taken part in. We also encourage our parents to use our learning and development app, UP, which offers a range of learning activities that can be done at home.
