Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Pre-school children investigate carrots they have picked from the garden. They recall how the leaves point up to the sun to help them to grow and the roots sink into the soil to get the food they need. Children develop an understanding of how to keep themselves safe by becoming 'garden detectives'. They help staff to carry out outdoor risk assessments and set up the play area for the day ahead.

We love busy bees nursery. The staff made us feel welcome straight away and they have a family feel amongst the staff. Our daughter loves her key workers and is cared for brilliantly, they have paid particular attention to her interests and encouraged them. The setting is lovely and focused on education and play. They have a lovely outdoor area which our daughter loves. The staff have spent time and care ensuring our daughter is transitioning to the next class with minimal upset and she has no issues and drop offs. We are updated with her daily activities and the staff listen to our needs. We are very happy with the nursery and all the staff

All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. My daughter absolutely loves busy bees thurstaston and has developed so well since attending the nursery and that is down to the excellent care and teaching that my daughter receives while she is at nursery. She always comes home and tells me all about her day with such excitement. Thank you to all the staff at busy bees Thurstaston!!! She is leaving for big school in September and will miss all the staff at thurstaston. Thank you so much to Kelly and the staff! You are all AMAZING
