A very warm welcome into the nursery and ms Karen has been extremely lovely and supportive of Brielle settling in. Also the rest of the team of brielle's class they have all been so kind and my child is very comfortable around them.
Also I have noticed a huge improvement in my child's development and this is all thanks to ms Karen and the girls. I am happy to see my child coming home saying new words and singing songs she has learnt at nursery.
Grateful for the whole team

Busy bees has been amazing as part of my little ones development being there nearly 6 months now the change in him has been amazing the girls are always happy to help and feedback watching him grow and learn has been amazing !
Working in childcare I thought I would be very chilled and relaxed but I’m always checking the app for updates and love seeing what he has been doing !
The only place I would choose is Busy bees and they have been fantastic and sorting any extra sessions or supporting events doing cards for families birthdays !
Thank you Busy bees Gravesend !

Personal touches…
The Little things like Christmas presents, being helpful and friendly with each child and treating them like an individual not a herd, lovely friendly staff that take their time with things, my daughter Clara her older brother Oscar went to busy bees and most staff ask about him still, having parent zone is a personal touch as you can see what your child does not just word of mouth what they do.
