My son has absolutely thrived at this nursery. The staff have been fantastic and so caring. It's great peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after whilst we are at work. He enjoys going every week

My daughter has been going to the nursery since she was 9months. I am really glad to have chosen this nursery as she’s very happy there and looks forward to going. She has developed so much and the staff are both friendly and very supportive. She has reached all her milestones and I’m really grateful to how much care and support the staff have provided. I am kept up to date with her activities via the app and it’s lovely to see what she gets up to. Will definitely recommend

Busy Bees is a lovely place for any child. My daughter has been there since she was only 9 months old so I could go back to work. Great facilities, food, and the app works well to see your child progress etc., Professionally and friendly staff , with lots of passion and commitment to what they do. The office ladies also are very supportive and aware, understanding of personal circumstances. The whole place is clean and tidy, lots of toilets for over 3s , lots of entertainment. I cannot fault it really.

I'd already recommended the Galleys Corner nursery to my sister and now both our children attend. Our son loves it there and most days doesn't want to leave to come home! The staff are very friendly and provide plenty of information and updates to us as parents on how our son is getting on. The food menu available has a great variety of dishes for our son to try and the app information lets us keep track of how much and what he's eating. I would highly recommend this nursery to others as I cannot fault it!

An incredible nursery with amazing staff. Seeing negative reviews from some obviously ridiculous people upsets me. My eldest was at this nursery for over 3 years and loved every moment of it. The staff are a fantastic group of people who really care about the children they look after. My 18 month old now attends and we drive past several nurseries that are close to where we live to get to this one as we know it's the best. Real thought and love and care goes into every aspect of this nursery. You know your children aren't just another face or a burden on the staff. They really care about them and every time I turn up I see my little boy from outside and watch him before he sees me and he's always so happy and having so much fun. Even at 18 months he runs through the door in the morning happy to be there.
