Would highly recommend
Was very wary of putting my son into nursery as he was so young but I needed to go back to work, I went with busy bees Selly oak as it was recommend by a friend who had sent her kids there previously and I am so thankful for that recommendation as this is by far the best nursery, I can not fault them on anything they always go above and beyond for my little one they are also very accommodating as he is very fussy when it comes to certain things but his needs are always me met no matter how complex his needs are! The staff are some of the best staff I have ever seen in a nursery they way they interact with the kids and always keeping parents in the loop! Jodie and Natalie are absolutely amazing!!! Would always and will always forever rave about this nursery!

Staff are fantastic with my son
Staff are fantastic with my son, he loves nursery and all the staff that are there. He doesn’t want to come home when he gets picked up which to me means he’s settled very well and I’m so pleased he has.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Busy Bees Selly Oak! The staff are warm, caring, and truly invested in the children's development. Frankie has settled amazingly and thrived in their care, and the nursery environment is engaging, safe, and stimulating. The communication is excellent, the app is constantly updated and the activities are always thoughtfully planned. I couldn't recommend Busy Bees Nursery more highly – it's been a game-changer for our family!

This is such a lovely nursery!
This is such a lovely nursery! My little girl was struggling a bit to settle at first, but with the care and attention of the staff members she seems to be really enjoying it now and we couldn’t be happier to see her learn new things everyday and thrive. They also have a great weekly menu with balanced meals for the little ones to get all the nutritions they need. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!
