Your Child’s Voice Matters

About us

Busy Bees Pre-School was established in 1999 by Jane Bailey and Sharon Batchelor. It operates from the annex at the rear of the scout hall with access to a courtyard and a large outdoor garden area. We currently have 36 children per session and take children from 2 years old and upward until they start school. We have very good links with our neighbour Portway Infant School and other settings and schools in the area.
