Bumble Beezzz Day Nursery, established in 2001 and led by owner Mrs. Donna Hoult with over 35 years of childcare experience, offers a nurturing environment for children aged 6 weeks to 12 years. The nursery operates year-round, excluding bank holidays, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, with an option for a 7:00 am start upon request.
Housed in a converted and extended detached home, it provides spacious rooms catering to specific age groups: babies (0-2 years), toddlers (2-3 years), and preschoolers (3-5 years). A significant highlight is the large garden, accessible in all weather, fostering outdoor play.
The dedicated and qualified staff aim to create a 'home away from home' atmosphere, supporting children's development during their crucial early years. The nursery emphasises quality childcare and education tailored to individual needs, partnering with parents through a key worker approach, and celebrating diversity.
Fresh, healthy meals are prepared on-site daily by their nursery cook, Rachel, who maintains a 5-star food hygiene rating, ensuring mealtimes are social and enjoyable. The curriculum includes fresh fruit, cereals, toast for breakfast, a hot lunch with dessert, and snacks of fruit and vegetables, some of which are grown in the children's allotment.
A light tea is also provided, with milk and water available throughout the day. A two-weekly rotational menu is available upon request.
