Outdoor space

Children use bikes with care, reading safety posters first and being careful to ride safely around the garden. Leaders and managers have ambitious plans for the future, intending to invest in the outdoor area to support children's wider experiences.

I would like to thank Busy Bess Canterbury for their professional and caring approach with the children. My child used to be shy and didn’t easily interact with other kids, but I noticed a big difference after he joined the preschool. Now, he looks forward to going every day and enjoys making new friends. I also appreciate that one of the most important aspects is how the staff takes the time to share feedback after each session about the child’s activities and overall day.

The staff are wonderful and both my children love being there. The meals are a bit samey although fresh and healthy. The price is at the top end of the scale which is the only real negative.

They are terrible, they let children in when they are ill and they keep having staffing issues and not letting my child have their hours. This issue has been going on for months and months
