Fantastic service. Staff is always happy and helpful. My daughter Arheer loved going there. Teachers helped her to build her confidence as she was struggling. Now she s very confident since she started going here. Very positive environment. Management is also very cooperative and welcoming all the time. Bree, Jackie both are very supportive in every way. Both are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable in their experience. Always guide me related to my daughter’s emotions, behaviour and her daily routine. 🐝

Highly recommend this facility. The staff genuinely love the kids & form special relationships with each of them. It’s always wonderful to be able to drop off and know your child is excited to see her educators.

I would recommend this service to other parents / guardians / carers. My son loves coming here and feels like he is being left with family. He gets to play with his friends, does craft activities most days (more than he would at home!), takes part in stimulating and educational activities, plays with trains, receives varied healthy meals multiple times a day (I wish I got that), and is looked after by skilled educators that care about him and his development. My wife and I have found Busy Bees to be a brilliant service where we trust the team to look after our son and know that he is benefiting from the experience - for a comparatively good price! Keep up the great work!
