Staff are friendly, helpful and caring. The settling in was quick and the staff made it feel stress free. My daughter has now moved to the Bambo 2 room and again, they all made her feel so loved! Daily feedback is great, they really care about children’s learning and development and ensure parents are involved too! Admin team efficient and kind. As first time parents we feel so lucky to leave our daughter in such capable and warm hands!

My daughter has been going to busy bees since she was 10 months old she is very settled and loves nursery and has learnt so much in the care of the staff in the toddler room. My daughter has lovely relationships with all the staff and is a confident little lady who loves Busy Bees and that as a parent of the nursery is all I could ask for, knowing that she is happy and well cared for.
