Our son attended busy bees nursery from 6 months old to his leaving last week at aged 4. Throughout his time at nursery the staff have been, without fail, exceptional. The range of activities he has enjoyed in his time at nursery has been extensive and we've been kept up to date on an almost daily basis via the ParentZone App and daily comments at pickup time. He has transitioned through the 6 rooms at an even pace and his transition has always been trouble free. The periodic reports provided on his learning and development have been detailed and useful. He has also enjoyed frequent trips to the arnison centre on the bus with the other children to see the fish and animals at Pets and Home and visit the local police station and co-op to get a sense of his local community. The amount of outside play he's done in the excellently equipped garden area (which seems to have never ending additions over the last few years!) has been lovely to see and he's always been well supported and treat as an individual rather than just another child to fill a space. We would recommend busy bees to any parents. Thank you Busy Bees!

Such an amazing nursery! Would recommend them very highly! My son has grown in confidence since starting Busy Bees and has become more independent. Its fantastic that we are able to use the ParentZone app throughout the day to see the different activities he has been up to and how he is progressing at Nursery. The staff are very friendly and are always there to help with any questions/queries.

Very well managed. Ideal for babies and pre school children. Very clean. Outdoor space to play in fine weather. Food is available. They cater for children with food allergies.

A fantastic nursery! The staff are - without fail - approachable, helpful and happy. I have always felt my children were cared for to the same standards the staff would want for their own children. The facilities and resources - especially the incredible outdoor provision - are outstanding.
