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! Read more
