Nursery Facilities

Busy Bees at Warwick is located at Chase Meadow Square, in the popular Chase Meadow residential development on the western edge of Warwick. 

The nursery sits within a well-established community that has its own local shops, amenities, and green spaces on the doorstep, while Warwick town centre with its famous castle and market town high street, is just a short drive or around a 30-minute walk away. 

For commuters, the nursery is well placed for the A46 and M40 motorway, and Warwick Parkway station, with rail connections to London Marylebone and Birmingham, is just a short drive away.

Our baby room leads directly out to the baby's own garden area, making it an ideal space for all babies to play, learn and grow. Toddlers have an exceptional space to play and explore. Inside and out the opportunities for fun and development are endless, opening out onto the garden you child will be amazed with the prospects that await them.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was one, and she is now two and a half. Over that time, we’ve seen her grow in confidence, happiness, and independence, and it’s been wonderful to watch. She absolutely loves going to nursery each day and has built such lovely relationships with both the staff and the other children. It’s clear that she feels safe, happy, and genuinely cared for, which means so much to us as parents. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, approachable, and supportive. They always take the time to communicate with us and are consistently accommodating to individual needs, which really sets this nursery apart. We’re so glad we chose to send her here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment for their child.
