Busy Bees Canterbury welcomes children from babies through to preschool age to ensure your little one has the absolute best start in life. Located close by to the banks of the River Stour, the nursery is a safe and welcoming spot where children are encouraged to try new things, develop skills, and make new friends.
The nursery offers a warm and welcoming environment throughout each of the rooms, which are tailored to suit each age group. Each room is filled with age-appropriate activities and learning resources so that your child receives everything they need to grow, develop, and prepare for school.
There are several additional facilities, including a sensory room and an outdoor play space throughout the nursery. The sensory room provides access to equipment specially designed to allow children to explore their senses. Throughout the outdoor space, your child can challenge themselves on the mini obstacle course and learn to take safe risks in a supervised environment.
There are endless opportunities for your child’s mind and body to stay active during their stay at Busy Bees Canterbury. With a variety of stimulating activities, there is something to cater for every child’s needs and interests so that your child will stay engaged. The passionate team are committed to providing every child with the best care to ensure your child explores their imagination and has fun whilst in their care.
Busy Bees work hard to make parents’ lives easier, they provide younger children with nappies and wipes, as well as snacks, meals, and drinks from the NHS-accredited menus. This is all included in your fees.

My daughter loves it here!
The facilities are excellent: the building is purpose built so the rooms are bright and spacious. The garden is very big and they spend a lot of time out there.
The staff are lovely: our key worker has built up a great relationship with my daughter and it is obvious that my daughter is delighted to see her each day. The activities are varied and fun and the equipment is good.
The only negative is that it is so popular that it is sometimes difficult to get extra sessions (although they will always try!)

My son has attended Busy Bees for the last 10 months and he absolutely loves it there, the staff are lovely and always provide lots of information about what he has been up to during the day. There are lots of toys and equipment for the children to play with and they also regularly paint and draw pictures which are sent home. I would definitely recommend this nursery and my baby daughter will be attending in the new year once I go back to work. I feel confident that they are well looked after and cared for.
Great jobs guys.

The staff are friendly and helpful, my daughter's key person is outstanding and so helpful when I need advice.
I love that she goes outside so much and uses the wonderful large garden.
One of the highlights for me is the awesome food that the chef cooks, his food always smells amazing and my daughter eats all of everything every time she is in nursery, I cook the same thing at home and she will not eat it!
I would highly recommend this nursery.
I am very pleased with the care given to my little girl at nursery and feel that she is happy and confident to attend often giving me just a backwards glimpse as she goes to explore with her friends. Her dedicated key person provides fun and engaging activities that challenge her and support her...
The meals offered are outstanding and my daughter enjoys them all and I'm happy because they are well balanced and nutritious.
Staff are professional and will always take the time to talk to me about my daughter and her day.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and my baby son will start attending in January.

I have managed the Canterbury nursery since we opened in 2006 and I was previously the manager of another nursery in Kent. I have been working with children for 19 years and have gained my NNEB Diploma in Nursery Nursing and my Advanced Diploma in Childcare and Education. I also have a Grade A certificate in Advanced Practice in Working with Babies. Most recently I have worked towards my Leadership and Capability Programme which has furthered my knowledge in management.
During my time at Canterbury I have had the opportunity to gain additional training and experiences which I use to support my staff team at the nursery. These include SENCO, Safeguarding and First aid.
I genuinely believe that working with children is the best job in the world. Our team at Canterbury know how privileged we are to be working with children in some of the most important years of their lives. It is an honour that parents entrust us with their children’s care and we do our best to ensure that they have a fantastic nursery experience while learning so much at the same time.
I am passionate about working well in partnership with parents as they are their children’s first and most enduring educators. I am also keen to develop the staff’s skills, knowledge and understanding within childcare. It gives me great satisfaction to see them work their way up within the nursery and develop their career.
Our staff hold qualifications ranging from Level 2 in Childcare and Development to a BA (Hons) Degree in Primary Education. Our Assistant Manager holds Early Years Professional Status. Our team at Canterbury are dedicated to providing the best possible standard of care for children’s learning and development and work hard to ensure individual children’s needs are met.
