Busy Bees Day Nursery at Solihull Discoveryland

About this day nursery

Busy Bees Day Nursery at Solihull Discoveryland was registered in 2010 and operates full-day care from non-domestic premises. Open all year round, children aged 0-4 years can attend sessions from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

The nursery received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 15 November 2023. Children arrive happily, with staff fostering warm relationships to support their emotional well-being.

The newly appointed manager is dedicated to providing high-quality early education, establishing a secure curriculum that staff are continuously developing. The curriculum offers a breadth of activities both indoors and outdoors, designed to equip children with the knowledge and skills needed for their next stage of learning.

Staff are proficient in observing and assessing children's development, using this information to plan engaging activities that ensure good progress for all. Continuous exposure to a wide range of language through stories, songs, and rhymes is a key focus.

For children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), a designated coordinator works closely with staff and parents to provide swift intervention and access additional professional support, ensuring these children are supported to reach their full potential. Children demonstrate independence from an early age, from helping themselves to drinks to putting on their own jackets.

Managers are committed to staff development through regular supervision and an extensive training programme, reflecting a strong focus on professional growth and effective self-evaluation of practice and teaching skills.
