Wouldn't find a better nursery in Liverpool. They are all fantastic with my kids. My eldest finishes for school in August and will be a sad day. Highly recommended

As a parent, I couldn't be more thrilled with the care and attention my child receives at Busy Bees Nursery. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put both my child and me at ease. The staff are incredibly nurturing, dedicated, and truly passionate about early childhood development. My little one has blossomed in this environment, learning new skills, making friends, and gaining confidence each day. The variety of activities and the focus on both play and education is perfectly balanced. Busy Bees is more than just a nursery—it's a second home for my child, where they are happy, engaged, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child.

This is my sons second day nursery, yet the only positive one he has had. My little boy started here about nineteen months ago when he had just turned two years old. He had to leave another nursery due to a very negative experience. With that we were both aprehensive. But busybees had removed all worries immediately putting us and granny at immense ease. Each room he has been in the staff have listened, cared and taken on board all of our concerns. Have a high knowledge of allergies and correct child age appropriate behaviour. Whilst acting in a very professional manner at all times. I can't sing there praises enough. Thanku all at busy bees especially Mandy, Kyle, Lizi , Jade, Laura, Megan, Linzi Cathy Kaci Olivia and chloe and all who have looked after and continue to look after my cheeky little boy. You have restored my faith in Day Nurseries. X

My eldest son attended busy bees and now my youngest goes. My eldest received great support as he had a slight speech delay. They both loved going in to nursery. All the staff I’ve come across over the years have been friendly, professional and approachable. They have helped if there have been any issues.
