They know how to handle her personality, what she will do well with and how to mitigate any issues. They make contextual calls in her interest and I'm reassured that they do truly care for her when I cannot be with her.\n\nI'm very grateful we found Busy Bees as it's made my return to work vastly less difficult!",

It was so emotional for both me and my daughter to say goodbye to such a wonderful setting and all the amazing staff there. From the office staff and management, to the staff in the rooms and not forgetting the amazing kitchen staff. I cannot fault a single thing from our time there, they go above and beyond and care so much about the children and their families. My daughter was more than ready to start primary school in September, thanks to the amazing work done in the preschool room. My daughter was so happy and supported and made some truly amazing friends there too.",

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their individual needs supported extremely effectively. Staff liaise with professionals and parents to ensure consistency between home and nursery. Additional funding is used well to help close any gaps in learning.

Outdoor space

So very pleased with this nursery. Our daughter has come on amazingly since going here, and the staff are great at what they do. Me and my partner are always amazed at how clean it is also.

My daughter has attended this Nursery for 3 years and I have absolutely loved it! She has absolutely thrived and the staff will go above snd beyond to help you. My daughters key workers and staff in the same room are so lovely and child centred and clearly know all of the children extremely well. They were brilliant in supporting my daughter to be prepared to start school and made this transition exciting for her. I love this Nursery so much My son has been going for 8 months. I hope that this will continue until all of my kids are in school.

My daughter has thrived at Busy Bees. I had received positive feedback from another parent who had had a positive with her children here, prior. She said her kids missed coming to nursery and now they are in primary school! My LO has built great relationships with adults who know her well. They know how to handle her personality, what she will do well with and how to mitigate any issues. They make contextual calls in her interest and I'm reassured that they do truly care for her when I cannot be with her. I'm very grateful we found Busy Bees as it's made my return to work vastly less difficult!

Can't recommend Busy Bees at St Andrews Ridge more highly. My daughter joined the baby room at a year old and graduated from Preschool there in August 2020. It was so emotional for both me and my daughter to say goodbye to such a wonderful setting and all the amazing staff there. From the office staff and management, to the staff in the rooms and not forgetting the amazing kitchen staff. I cannot fault a single thing from our time there, they go above and beyond and care so much about the children and their families. My daughter was more than ready to start primary school in September, thanks to the amazing work done in the preschool room. My daughter was so happy and supported and made some truly amazing friends there too.

Went for a visit and was really disappointed! Lack of resources, lots of unhappy children with dirty faces, rooms smelt like poo. Better around from the price. Also heard negative reviews regarding this nursery from local parents. Such a shame as it is so close you our house
