"The staff really go the extra mile for not only the children they look after but the family’s too. From management the key workers the chefs all of them take the time to get to know you and your family and it really makes it feel like part of a community . I feel so happy that my children are around such lovely people on a daily basis who really care about them "
"Absolutely brilliant nursery. The staff are all amazing"
"Excellent nursery. The nursery is always clean and tidy. The staff are always friendly and approachable and the nery as a whole is very accommodating to my child's needs and progression. We massively appreciate the regular updates through the app too as it gives us a little insight into how much fun our child is having! Absolutely excellent."
"Since my son started at busy bees in September 2022, he has had the best experience and care given from the staff. They engage with his interests and show genuine love and care for him. Returning to work was such a scary thing for me but busy bees have made it so much easier. He looks forward to nursery and seeing his friends as well as the staff. A special shout out to Becca who has been with him through 2 of the rooms and she has worked so hard with him and I don’t know how she opens the door every day with a smile and remembers everything he’s done that day. She really makes his day! Thank you for all your hard work it doesn’t go unnoticed from this happy mam! "
"Our daughter has attended Busy Bees for the last year and she couldn’t be happier. Socially, she’s made so many friends (including staff) and has came on leaps and bounds with her social interactions with everyone around her. Developmentally, we have witnessed her come home from nursery learning new things every day. Many of the staff have their own children attending the nursery, so the care and compassion they show their own children at home is always reflected towards those attending Busy Bees. We couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our daughter! "
