Busy Bees Salt Ash is a wonderful centre. The staff have always been the highlight, they are so lovely and friendly, they go above and beyond to ensure the children’s needs are met. The best part is you know they genuinely care about your child, and at pickup you get more than the typical ‘He’s had a great day’, they actually give you real feedback. The centre has a farm attached which greatly enriches the learning. To top it all off, the playgrounds are brand new and have so many different zones for the children to explore. 10/10 would recommend Busy Bees Salt Ash!
