I would highly recommend this Busy Bee's Nursery 100%. My son was not happy when starting as he was very close to me. He cried for a while, but with the one to one care and encouragement, my son now goes and is loving it. The staff are all lovely and are happy to meet your needs if possible for them. Unlike most nursery's I viewed, Busy Bee's was by far the best I my opinion. Busy Bee's have a small group of children, with plenty of loving staff to give each child the care, attention and education for best start they need, unlike most nursery's which are overwhelmed with children and look more like a chaotic drop off centre other than a early learning best start nursery for your child. Busy Bee's Nursery also has an parent portal app to keep you up to date daily with food consumption, nappy / clothes changes and photos. So you know how your little is doing and what they have eaten. No need to worry about rushing breakfasts and packing lunches as Busy Bee's also offers meals and snacks for a great healthy diet which is great to. Busy Bee's is also open through normal children's breaks which is good for the working parents. Obviously and naturally this comes at a small fee due to overlaping hours and healthy food being given to which i am happy pay. Knowing my son will have the best start he could get is all I won't for him. Child funding is also accepted here but as mentioned there is limited spaces. I'm so glad I got my son in, he is doing so well and i will be sad to see him leave, to start school next year.
Read on GoogleAbsolutely awful nursery. Not able to offer half day sessions, food is not optional, only able to offer all year round care and not term time only meaning any government funded hours had to be stretched over the entire year which was never going to be the case for our child, considering the nursery isn't open 365 days a year same as any other nursery! Wasn't given any flexible options whatsoever. Ultimately decided my child was better suited to go elsewhere and the horrendous 'enrollment' fee of £100 is of course non refundable. Considering my poor experience with the nursery before my child had even started with them, they were unable to help me on any level even for a partial refund. Disgusting service and would ever send my child to a place with such bad morals
Read on GoogleHighly recommend using Busy Bees for any working/non working parents. My child has achieved so much since she started. The staff are very quick to help with my child's needs & very supportive with the family too.
Read on GoogleFantastic nursery, lovely staff. Only issue is a car park often busy by ppl who got nothing to do with nursery. Lots of them don't respect that we parents have no space to leave a car while picking up our kids. Can it be sorted somehow?
Read on GoogleA Fantastic nursery. All 4 children attended here and i wouldn't consider anywhere else when looking for Childcare. It's the only Outstanding nursery in the area too!
