Busy Bees
Busy Bees started off as a great nursery when my daughter first joined. The staff were welcoming, and we were happy with the care she was receiving. However, over time I began noticing small issues, such as regularly collecting her in dirty clothes and with a full nappy, despite providing everything she needed.
The biggest issue has been the frequent room closures. Although the nursery is aware that we have no family or friends available to help with childcare, these closures have happened repeatedly, forcing me to take time off work on numerous occasions. This has had a significant impact on our family and work life.
Overall, I believe Busy Bees has the potential to be a very good nursery, but they need to address these ongoing operational issues and have a more reliable contingency plan in place when unexpected closures occur.

Take your money for a place message…
Take your money for a place message them to say your parent has died and nothing. I never recommend

As a first time parent
As a first time parent, the settling in process was difficult on us as parents and for our son who is now 18 months old. The staff in his room have been nothing but supportive. 7 months later, he is well and truly settled and we feel at ease leaving him in nursery. I do think more outside time should be mandatory for all ages and just abit better communication regarding illness that have gone round the nursery.
