About this day nursery

Busy Bees at Leamington Spa Queensway is a childcare setting located in Leamington Spa, CV31 3RZ, and is registered as a childcare on non-domestic premises. The day nursery fosters a highly nurturing and caring environment where children from one to four years old thrive and make rapid, sustained progress from their individual starting points.

With a capacity for 110 children, the setting prides itself on an ambitious and carefully sequenced curriculum that caters to each child's unique needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff work diligently to identify and address emerging needs early, utilising strategies such as visual prompts and simple sign language to support communication and understanding.

The day nursery emphasises a culture of kindness and compassion, ensuring children feel safe, valued, and confident enough to explore. Independence skills are progressively developed, with children learning tasks like using cutlery and dressing themselves, preparing them effectively for school.

The setting also promotes a healthy lifestyle through nutritionally balanced menus, oral hygiene education, and ample opportunities for physical and active play, including well-thought-out outdoor spaces. A highly effective key person system ensures strong connections and belonging for all children, with staff adapting routines to individual needs and collaborating closely with parents and external professionals to provide consistent support and intervention.
