Great nursery with friendly staff that have been there since before our first child attended some years ago. The managers and senior staff are excellent and clearly there is a great working culture and atmosphere within the setting. The fact that it is purpose-built building, designed to be a nursery, for us, was a big deal. The layout makes sense and there is energy and effort goes into making it a friendly and happy place! Our children have loved attending!

Busy bees Guiseley is by far the best nursery around, my son who has additional ideas attended after trying several nursery’s prior which didn’t work out for different reasons and once he started at busy bees we wished we'd have chosen this nursery from the beginning, my daughter now attends and absolutely loves it
