Hi Gallagher. Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery.
We are thrilled with the review score that you have left us. Thank you for being part of the Busy Bees family. We’re grateful for your trust and the opportunity to provide your child with the best start in life.

The team take such care of our little ones and tailor everything to their needs. We can go to work and know they’re being taken care of. My only ask would be that we would be able to have a few weeks annual leave each year, without having to continue paying the nursery fees whilst away - many other nursery’s do this. It’s not a cheap nursery, but it is worth every penny, the boys love it.

Brilliant Nursey
Brilliant Nursey, it’s hard to fine somewhere that you feel comfortable with sending your child everyday, but I have full confidence in Kids 1st. I feel my child is safe and happy and the Nursey have been nothing but supportive. It may be slightly more expensive than other Nursey’s but I feel confident their staff are paid above minimum wage and my child is happy and safe.
