How they support every child

Outdoor space

Pre-school children have fun using up their energy as they run back and forth outdoors, playing a game of 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' When on a scavenger hunt outdoors they give a stick to staff and say, 'you must keep it out of reach of the babies'.

Bizzybeez are a friendly welcoming nursery, my little one has being going for 2.5 months now and has settled in really well. All the staff are very approachable and friendly and the owner Kate is very helpful and accommodating. The nursery is always clean and lots of toys are available for the children. The nursery runs really flexible hours and they have an app which is great for communication! I couldnt recommend them enough !👍

Such a wonderful nursery! My little girl started at the nursery March 2024 and she has thrived ever since. Such friendly members of staff and the owner Kate is so lovely and approachable. I feel that this nursery is not just about making money but actually cares about the kids and their future. Would recommend them to anyone. They are a smaller nursery but their clean, bright and inviting environment really makes the place feel huge and welcoming x

Bizzybees is such a wonderful setting, the staff are very attentive and caring. My little boy loves it there, he runs into nursery and has a lovely day. He talks about the staff at home and they have made sure to build really positive relationships with him. It is such a relief to know your child is so well looked after whilst you are at work. I know he will continue to thrive as he moves through rooms.

Our daughter started July 2024 at just 9 months old. As first I felt so apprehensive as she was so young but Lisa, Brittany and the team have been absolutely amazing. They speak with you about your little ones routine and will follow the routine you have asked for with any hesitation and you can send in your childs comforts for nap time so its a home from home, and promote good nutritional food for snacks. The room is laid out perfectly and each child has an allocated cot whilst they are there. There are so many planned activities with the children and with the app they can take photos and upload them so you can see what's been happening. The app also logs all the daily things that has happened such as nap times, nappy changes and food they've eaten. The room is a perfect size and all safety aspects have been thought off. I would not hesitate in recommending. We have travelled further from our home to ensure that our daughter gets the best possible care when she's not with us and we couldn't be more happier

Fantastic nursery would highly recommend. My daughter loves going here and the staff are all really kind and caring. Kate, Chelsea, Gail and Emily are a credit to the nursery and really are great with my daughter who was originally very nervous when she first started but they have helped her feel so comfortable and help her settle in.
