10/10, We found Busy Bees to be the best nursery for our family, we enrolled our eldest years again and was so happy then it was a no brainer for our youngest. She has come on leaps and bounds with the support of the excellent care providers. I especially feel the staff who have been great are Jody, Kat, Larissa, Chloe and Nicky. I would point out that ALL are fantastic, but as this is our final year with Busy Bees, these are the ones who had the most interaction and Guidance with our daughter. Thank you Busy Bees Peatmoor!

I currently have two children attending this nursery, one just starting and one leaving in September. They both thoroughly enjoy their days here. When you walk in everyone is smiling, happy and welcoming. The staff are wonderful, they understand both childrens needs, likes and forever changing interests and keep them challenging things through play and learning, you can tell they really care. The resources are fantastic, each room has a soft chill out corner, a messy play area, role play corner etc. Lovely presented rooms and clearly labelled activities. The garden area is again very presented with bright colours, a huge play area and a cute picket fenced baby section. There are toilet facilities in all areas of the nursery, and everywhere is immaculately clean! The food menu's are very nutritional and it's lovely to see a mix up of the menu instead of the same thing things each week. I know I can go about my busy day knowing my children are in the safe hands of busy bee's staff. So if you're considering this nursery, you won't be disappointed! My boy will miss everyone here in September..! What a lovely well run place.

I will always recommend this nursery when asked about my son’s experience there. They have been amazing and so understanding of situations we have faced since he’s started. And they’ve been amazing with helping him settle in and feel comfortable! They have also been an amazing help with supporting us to potty train as our son was a little reluctant to get started but is now thriving at it 😊
