My daughter has been in this school for two years now. She enjoys going to this amazing nursery school and always talk about her teachers and fellow kids in friendly ways. She has equally learnt lots of skills and developed intellectually as a result of the impact this school has had on her.

Such a fantastic nursery, highly recommended! Returning to work and putting your children into childcare can be a very daunting prospect but from the moment my children started here all of those worries quickly went away. The way the staff interact, teach, care, support and encourage each child is outstanding. The staff are so proactive and its clear they have a genuine love for their job and truly care for each and every child. My children have made so many wonderful memories, learnt so many skills and made such fantastic friends.

We have been part of the Busy Bee family for almost 2 years. Our son loved it from the beginning and adapted with no problem. During the pandemic, nursery adapted to the request of the government and introduced multiple rules to keep our kids safe and healthy. The food was excellent. I warmly recommend the nursery for any family that wants a calm , safe and familiar environment for their children.

Our little boy absolutely loves going to nursery here, he is always happy to arrive and go off to play and learn! The staff have made him so settled and in a very short space of time, they are always really helpful when I have questions too. I feel very happy in the knowledge that he is being well cared for when he is at nursery and his development is incredible since being there. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My daughter started nursery when she turned one. She really struggled to be away from me, and wouldn’t eat any food at all. The staff were incredible, and she’s a completely different child now. She eats everything and is so excited to see everyone when we drop her off. Since covid has become part of everyday life it’s great to see the staff take precautions when we drop her off, and kept us up to date in lockdown on how they were adapting the nursery for the new way of life. The team stayed consistent, so when we dropped her off on her first day back it was lovely for all of us to see familiar and friendly faces. I couldn’t recommend them enough - she’s become such an independent, confident and more adventurous child since starting.
