Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm the Centre Director at Busy Bees Sudbury Hill.

I began my childcare journey as a nanny after completing my Level 3 qualification and joined Busy Bees in 1999 as a nursery nurse.

Over the years I progressed through roles including Room Manager and Deputy Manager, before becoming Centre Director 15 years ago. I also hold an Early Years Foundation Degree and am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where children can grow, develop and feel happy while working closely with families to support the best outcomes for every child.

We are very happy with the care and support our daughter has received at Busy Bees Sudbury. Since starting, she has settled in really well and is very happy and comfortable with the staff and other children. The staff are friendly, caring and professional, and we really appreciate the attention and support they give her every day. It is lovely to see her becoming more confident, independent and engaged in activities and group play. We feel very reassured knowing that she is in such a safe, caring and welcoming environment. Thank you to the whole Busy Bees Sudbury team for everything you do. We are very happy with the nursery and would happily recommend it to other parents.

We are very happy with the progress our child has made since he started. His social skills have improved greatly, and the feeding issue that he had has also improved a lot in the last 3 months. All the staff are very helpful, and professional, and are very good with the kids. We are very grateful.
