Our daughter is thriving in nursery and we love the staff. They are warm and caring. She is sleeping well and this was my biggest concern before nursery but the staff put effort into ensuring that she gets her rest in the afternoon. We are also happy with the level of communication. Highly recommend it. My only regret is that I didn't bring her in earlier to nursery but went to a childminder instead. She was not happy there but she runs to the nursery's door.
Our children moved from another local nursery a year ago. They came from an independent provider, so I had reservations about moving from an intimate setting to a larger business. A year on, I can honestly say the staff are equally invested in doing their best for the children, and we've had a...
The app is excellent and takes much of the pressure out of handovers. The recent addition of linking to my Tax-Free Childcare account is brilliant.
I haven't paid much attention to the formal learning side. I understand a curriculum is required, but personally, if my children are happy and safe, the school element of their lives can wait.
The setting is a little dated, but staff make good use of the space. I do think the business needs to invest more in staff wellbeing. Air conditioning is a must; very hot days aren't fair on the children or staff.

A great place for a child. Our child began attending from the first year of life until 5. As parents, we understand that he has gone through a whole path of adventures, for which we are grateful to the staff. It was here that our child learned to go to the toilet, eat independently, play in groups, listen and talk. Particular attention was paid to his speech, the key worker worked with him and there is progress. We are grateful to you. You are second parents to our children. Thank you to the staff for your patience, work and incredible work. You are all amazing people!

She always holds her hands out to go with the adult which I view as positive.

Daughter has been attending busy bees since Sept 2024. The experience and communication I have had from the director , key worker and nursery leaders is fantastic. Nothing is too much or to small, they cater for her amazingly. Even through attachment issues , tears and tantrums they have been calm , resilient and nothing but respectful. They have been supportive to both child and parent. The service they provide from food , to nappies to suncream , activities ,
Learning observations and events never goes unnoticed, and has supported my daughter's development and learning journey in a positive way. Cannot fault how much the staff care for the children and parents. Would highly recommend to others

My daughter is currently at Busy Bees and my son also attended before starting school. We are so grateful for the incredible care, high standards and professionalism we have experienced. The staff go above and beyond and both of our children have benefited so much from attending. Questions and queries are dealt with efficiently and with care, activities are well-planned and delivered and both of our children have gained so much confidence and cultural capital from being there. I cannot recommend this nursery enough - we are so grateful for everything you have done, and continue to do, for our children.

Well done and I just hope my son will continue to at least receive the same 'love' you have shown the near future also.

We recently moved area and were finding it difficult finding a nursery for my son with special needs and my daughter. The manager was lovely and made us feel welcome and wanted from the get-go. All of the staff are amazing and both my children love going in each day. The nursery have helped my son develop whilst in the setting, getting him ready for reception and have helped us on the journey of obtaining his EHCP. We can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend.

My first child has been attending Busy Bees for 2 years and my second child for 2 months. From the start we have been very happy and impressed with the excellent care they provide. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and clearly have a passion for their jobs which, as a parent, is very encouraging when you are trusting them with your children. I cannot recommend them enough. It really is more than 'childcare', I can obviously see how it's early years education and how this is positively benefitting my children already. They do a great range of activities and have very nutritious meals so I know my children are going to be well looked after and fed.

Hello, my name is Sarah Stafford. I have had a career in childcare spanning over 20 years, my experience is complemented by a Level 3 Early Years Diploma and a suite of childcare-related qualifications, including Paediatric First Aid, Designated Safeguarding Lead, and SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator).I am passionate about nurturing and educating young minds which has been unwavering throughout my career. I have worked in various capacities, gaining invaluable insights and expertise in early childhood education and care.
I consider myself fortunate to work with an amazing team of professionals who share my enthusiasm and dedication to providing the best possible start in life for the children in our care. Together, we create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive.
During show rounds, we ensure prospective families are given the opportunity to see firsthand the care and attention that goes into every aspect of the nursery. From the well-equipped play areas to the carefully planned educational activities, every detail is designed with the children's best interests at heart.
