About this day nursery

Busy Bees Day Nursery at Trowbridge, established in 2001, provides an outstanding start to early education for children aged 0-4 years. Open all year round from Monday to Friday, between 7:30 am and 6:30 pm, the nursery offers a consistent and enriching environment.

The dedicated manager and her highly motivated team are committed to knowing each child well, fostering invaluable bonds from the moment they start through a well-established key-person system. This approach ensures a seamless settling-in period and smooth transitions as children progress, helping them to thrive with the care they receive from professional, kind, and dedicated staff.

The nursery delivers a diverse and broad curriculum, with staff creating inspiring, meaningful activities that engage children and ignite their eagerness to learn. This outstanding provision extends to supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND); the manager and staff collaborate closely with parents and external agencies, developing tailored plans to ensure every child receives the support they need to make progress.

Children also benefit from ample opportunities to develop physical skills, with older children encouraged to take safe risks and climb while creating their own obstacle courses. Additionally, staff learn about children's cultures and traditions, embracing linguistic diversity and supporting those for whom English is not their first language to build confidence and progress in their learning.

My son has been with Busy Bees since he was 9-months old. Since day one I have felt extremely comfortable and happy with the level of care provided by the setting. It also helps, that my son loves it too. The team are approachable, friendly and extremely helpful. We even referred our neighbours to Busy Bees, based on our experience.
