About Busy Bees Nursery Durham

Busy Bees Nursery sits on Priory Road in Newton Hall, one of Durham's larger residential estates to the north of the city and handy for Pity Me, Framwellgate Moor and the communities served by the A167. Part of the national Busy Bees group, it provides full and part-time day care across age-banded rooms, from a baby room through to pre-school, with a structured early-years programme geared towards school readiness and plenty of outdoor play. It is a registered and Ofsted-inspected setting rather than a home childminder.

The nursery accepts government-funded early-years hours for eligible two, three and four-year-olds alongside paid places, and typically opens long weekday hours to suit working parents. Its estate location comes with parking and easy drop-off. As places, fees and funded-hour availability change through the year, and popular rooms can have waiting lists, it is best to contact the nursery directly to arrange a visit and check current availability.
