My son has been attending for 10 months now. It is a lovely nursery, all of the staff love the children, and share the joy with you of watching them grow and develop. All of the children have their progress monitored and identify areas where children can take the next step. Politeness and turn taking are well managed, really setting them up for school. So much more than just a playschool - Busy Bees are fantastic!!

My daughter attends busy bees and absolutely loves it, she is able to explore all areas within the room and garden. The opportunities available within the outdoor area are fantastic. The staff are fantastic and very attentive, i'm very impressed with the activities that are on offer to support my daughters development and feel that she will definitely be ready socially and developmentally to start school in September. Highly recommended nursery.

My son attended this nursery for a year and a half for pre-school. It was the most disappointing experience. There was no routine, schedule or structure in the classroom. There was a major lack of attention, and engagement from teachers and staff with the children. My son's learning journal which was given to me after he left is incomplete and has no signs of activities or lessen plans that were done with him during his time there. His key worker changed 4x and communication was rarely given when there was a change in his key worker. I ended up getting a job at this nursery hoping it would help but it did not. My working experience at this nursery was a positive one but my son's experience as a child in this nursery and as his parent was awful! I would not recommend this nursery for any child but especially not for a child over 2!
