Even though my son only attends on Thursdays and Fridays, I’ve noticed a lovely development in him since he started at the nursery. He’s always happy to go and seems to be learning and growing so well. The team has been amazing — so kind, professional, and truly attentive to each child. I really appreciate the care and effort they put into making the nursery such a positive and welcoming place. Thank you for everything you do!

ViewBusy bees great yarmouth have looked after our little one 2 days per week since January. I absolutely cannot fault them, they encourage her learning, they encourage her to walk. The care provided is outstanding. They also provide good meals that cater for her dairy allergy. She absolutely loves going to nursery and often doesnt want to come home.

ViewAll staff friendly and excellent at communicating (with both parents and the children) Activities, nutrition, physical and mental development all outstanding. We feel comfortable leaving our daughter at Busybees (and she is more than happy to be left!) Her unique dietary requirements are adhered to. Further requests are listened to and actioned. (I.e needing more sleep, help encouraging first steps) Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busybees Great Yarmouth and the team.

ViewAmazing and helpful staff. Every morning the staff welcome us with smiles and always really positive making my daughter's start to nursery as easy as it possibly can be! The staff all make an effort to know every child's name and always make such a lovely effort with everyone. Bumps will always happen but I've found this nursery to be upfront and honest and even making a courtesy call to me to say when something has happened. We love access to the app which allows us to see what our girl has been up to and eating throughout the day! I honestly can't fault anything at this Busy Bees, they have been wonderful and gone above my expectations! Thank you :)

ViewI am so grateful for the team at Busy bees Great Yarmouth- my child is so happy going to nursery- and whilst away on holiday recently she told me how much she missed nursery- the girls and her friends. The team are excellent especially the management who are always responsive and reassuring and support me and offer advice to me as well. If I could get my son to have after school club there I would! I literally have no concerns for the welfare of my child at the nursery as I know they are always personalising the care specific to the needs of my child- I have known some of them now for over 3 years which reiterates the consistency my child has also had. I know it's not an easy job and grateful for everything the team do. Thank you

ViewMy Son is 2 years+. Best Thing for him in Busy bees, GY , is the homely feel of the place and the warm responses of the staff towards the children. Even I feel at ease when I'm there. Activities and experiences, assessments are quite good as well. They have a strict infection control policy which I personally Like, because even it might be slightly inconvenient in safety point of view of others and comfort and recovery point of view for the sick child, It is a better approach.

ViewWe cannot thank the centre director and the team at busy bees enough for providing a safe, engaging, enriching environment for our daughter to learn and thrive. The team are wonderful at their jobs and are always coming up with new activities and games to keep things fun and stimulating for the children. We have never had any concerns relating to the safety or care provided at busy bees and you cannot put a price on that. I would recommend busy bees in a heartbeat and will be devastated when the day comes that our daughter has to move onto pastures new. Thank you all for the wonderful job you do. You are all worth your weight in gold.
