About Us

Busy Bees has been providing care for children for over 25 years. In 2012 we expanded our provision and are incredibly excited to be able to offer day care for children from the age of 6 weeks to school age, during term time or all year round. We are open from 7.30am to 6pm.
We have 5 fantastic nursery rooms for each age group plus a large out of school club room. Each room has free flow access to outdoors which we use whatever the weather. We are also next door to the park and we regularly go and explore, watch the seasons change, feed the ducks and more!
We also have extra rooms where the children can go to relax, chill out or play in the soft play.
Our aim is to provide a family atmosphere, where we care for and nurture the children. Parents are important to us, and we involve you as much as possible, we hold regular events where parents are invited in, for example Mother's day tea parties, Bring your daddy to Nursery and Christmas singing.
We have experienced and well qualified staff, including two Early Years teachers.
Please call in and see us any time, we have an open door policy.

A safe and welcoming environment awaits children at this early years setting, where staff create close relationships and set ambitious learning goals. Children benefit from a range of experiences, with staff working alongside parents to identify learning needs. The nursery fosters a family-like atmosphere, and parents report that their children flourish. However, there is room for improvement in recognizing when to provide direct teaching support and ensuring consistency across staff.
