Supporting Parents
At Busy Little Bees, we believe children thrive when nursery and home work closely together.
From the moment your family joins us, we take time to understand your routines, values and hopes for your child — and we make sure you feel informed, included and supported throughout their nursery journey.
Highly skilled and passionate
Supportive parent partnerships

Parent Partnerships & Support for Families
Daily Communication & Reassurance
Our secure parent app provides a detailed daily diary including photographs, meals, sleeps, activities and highlights, giving you a full picture of your child’s day and peace of mind that they are settled and happy.
Personalised Handover
At collection time, you’ll receive warm, individual feedback from the practitioner who spent the day with your child. We focus on the little details that matter — achievements, interests, friendships, moments of joy and how they have engaged in their learning.
Family Story Time
Parents, grandparents and extended family are warmly welcomed to come in and read a favourite story, share a circle time or talk about their job or culture. Children love these special visits.
Sharing Library
Each nursery has a well-stocked sharing library. Families can borrow books to enjoy at home, encouraging a love of reading, language and storytelling from an early age.
Termly Parents’ Evening
You’ll meet with your child’s key person every term to discuss their progress, next steps and development report. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, celebrate achievements and plan together.
Parent Workshops & Stay-and-Play Sessions
Throughout the year, we invite families into the nursery to join activities, explore the environment and see the curriculum in action. These sessions are always popular and help strengthen the home–nursery connection.
Individualised Support
SEN Support Meetings
For children who may benefit from additional support, our SENCO works closely with families to review support plans, discuss progress, arrange referrals and provide guidance. Meetings are regular, open and tailored to your child’s needs.
Support for EAL Families
For children with English as an additional language, we work closely with families to support communication and confidence. We gather key words used at home, incorporate children’s cultures into the environment and ensure every child feels fully included.
