This nursery is a SEN parent's dream
This nursery is a SEN parent's dream! My autistic son attends and I'm incredibly grateful for the care he receives. He has severe autism and is non-verbal but the staff go above and beyond to understand and support his SEN needs. They are extremely patient with him, very supportive and understanding, and always treat him with kindness. I notice from his behaviour that he is well cared for as he always hugs his key workers, and he laughs excitedly when I pull into the car park.
His key workers have put so much effort into understanding him as an individual, including learning how he prefers to be fed and how he likes things done so he feels comfortable and secure.
When he began having breathing problems, the team completed asthma training so they could support him safely. It's heartwarming to know he is somewhere the staff genuinely care about him.
He's always happy and having fun in his nursery photos. I'm grateful beyond words for the professionalism and dedication of the staff!

The staff at busy bees were brilliant from the minute I approached them in relation to my little people and their possible placement.
This continued throughout first visits and then onwards into them settling in, making arrangements with staff and then ultimately them becoming confident little people over the 6 months they were there.
I can’t recommend the nursery and staff enough, my little people thrived.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for them they went above and beyond

The staff are friendly and know our son really well. Our son has settled in well and we are very happy with the care they provide. His 18 month review last week was very detailed and showed they know him well and are accurate in judgements about him. Thank you Busy Bees!

Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery
Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery. I have had four children attend this nursery over a period of 16 years, and the care they receive is outstanding. The nursery has significantly enhanced my children's learning and academic skills. The staff are wonderful, and the children often go out for walks or visit the local park, so they're not always confined to the nursery grounds. The food is excellent, and all of my children have been, and continue to be, very happy at this nursery.
