Spacious and welcoming, this day nursery in Telford creates a nurturing environment for kids - encouraging them to become curious little explorers who want to learn more.

Nursery Facilities

Our day nursery in Telford is located in the Priorslee part of town. It's just a five-minute drive from the town centre - simply follow the A5 on the Priorslee Roundabout, then take the Priorslee Avenue exit.  When you arrive, you'll find lots of parking space right outside our front door, so you can conveniently and safely pick up and drop off your children with minimal fuss.  

Visiting us via public transport? You've got plenty of options! The Lapwing Gate bus stop is just a minute's walk from our nursery and is on the number 14 route. The Everglade Road bus stop, which sits on the same route, is just a short walk away too. Telford Central train station is also within a few minutes walking distance.  Need to leave your buggy while your child is at nursery? Our on-site buggy store provides the perfect spot for it. We'll keep it secure until you come to pick up your child.

Our nursery team are on hand to ensure the children are always engaged when they're with us. Throughout the nursery, there are educational toys and learning resources designed to get them thinking and having fun. Whether it's learning about different kinds of fruits and vegetables, discovering animals through play or 'cooking' in the play kitchen - no day is ever boring. 

Here, at Busy Bees Telford Priorslee, we follow the Bee Curious Curriculum. We also have a fully qualified teacher in our pre-school room. With this approach, they prepare your child for their next big step: primary school education.  Your child's key worker will keep you updated throughout their day on the Busy Bees app

With access to an outdoor space, the fun isn’t limited to being indoors! This allows the kids to get out in the fresh air and learn about taking risks in a safe, supervised environment.

Allow the staff here are wonderful with our son, and us. They are approachable and accommodating with anything we have asked. The nursery manager greets us most mornings we go and on the 1st day I took my son in when I was really upset leaving him gave me a hug and tissues. The staff there are so helpful and my sons key worker Rachel is a star, our son loves her which has really helped us as his parents. Can't rate the nursery enough and thank them for making our sons journey and ours as good as it could be.
