To receive your newsletter by email (which is more environmentally sound and saves printing costs) please click here to send us an email giving your name and the name of your child or tell a member of staff your email address. Outdoor Clothing Please ensure that your child brings a hat and gloves on Mondays and Wednesdays for our outdoor trips. Coffee Mornings Coffee Mornings raise funds for the nursery. They run from 9:30am to 12:00 noon on the third Wednesday of every month. Coffee/Tea is only 80p and cakes 40p. Home baking is the attraction of the coffee morning and there are many favourable compliments passed on various cakes. If you are unable to bake anything for the coffee morning could you make a donation of coffee, sugar, butter or any ingredients needed to make the cakes? There is a box in the quiet room for donations. Would you please save any empty containers for use at the coffee morning? Some customers like to buy the cakes to take home and we need containers to put the cakes in. You can give them in at nursery or to the coffee morning coordinator. Sometimes there may be a cake or two left over which can be bought from the quiet room after nursery has ended; great for teatime or an afternoon snack.Volunteers to help or donations of home baking would be greatly appreciated and benefit your children. If you would volunteer to help but have no childcare for those hours you can leave your child at Busy Bees for the morning free of charge!

Inclement Weather! Busy Bees will remain open regardless of weather conditions - even if local schools close due to bad weather. The staff all live within walking distance so, unless the weather is extremely bad, the nursery will be able to open.
