Busy Bees Severalls 10/10
Staff are so very welcoming. They take incredible care of the children. They have the children's best interests at heart. My daughter comes home with a smile on her face and cant wait to go back the next day. Would recommend to anyone whose nervous about their baby starting nursery as they make every effort to ensure both you and your child settle in nicely.
Amazing nursery
This is my son’s second nursery, he has been going now for 7 months and he settled in almost straight away. The nursery has such a warm friendly atmosphere and the staff are absolutely amazing. My son is thriving. I highly recommend this nursery
Best nursery ever
The entire team at Busy Bees Severalls have been like an extended family to me and my little boy, their kindness has been so touching and made a real difference.
My little boy has thrived since starting less than a year ago. The staff are keen to build real connections with the children and work on building their confidence and independence.
Honestly I couldn't imagine a better setting for my little boy. Thank you x

Can't fault them!
My daughters 2nd nursery so I am able to compare. She has been going here for 7 months now and so far I can't fault them! The staff is always wonderfully cheerful, great with my daughter and she always says she has a great time here.
Issues i had with previous nursery such as getting her back drenched in someone's parfum, terribly unhappy, dirty soaked nappies, etc, none of that has been an issue here!
As a parent its always tough leaving your child in the care of another but they have been fabulous at communication and I feel at peace that they are taking good care of her whilst she's there!

Can't recommend enough
It's really nerve wracking taking your little one to a new nursery but the team in the tots room took so much time and care to help our son settle in. Since joining 6 months ago, our son has grown in confidence tenfold. The children in the room develop such a lovely bond and our son now recites the names of all of his little friends every morning! Our sons keyworker and all of the staff in the tots room will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Our son has now moved up to the next room and this has been such an easy transition for him as all of the staff in busy bees take the time to get to know all of the children, even if they're not in their room. This is one the things that has been really wonderful to watch and I can see how special my son feels as he walks past the preschool area and all of the team members make such an effort to say hello/goodbye and engage with my son. Thank you for everything busy bees team, your brilliant!

The members of staff were amazing
The members of staff were amazing. Made my little boys time such a pleasure. The only thing I could criticise is the food options. Not because it’s bad at all, in fact seemed amazing. My child isn’t fussy. Think he was just being silly but no option for packed lunch. Other than that, so so happy. Definitely recommend
A warm friendly nursery
