Ripon nursery Busy Bees rated 'good' by Ofsted
Ripon nursery Busy Bees has retained its 'good' rating by Ofsted.
The government inspector said in a report published this week the nursery on Kearsley Road provided a "safe and nurturing environment" where "children are happy, motivated and keen to learn".

However, Ofsted said the nursery's ample outdoor resources were "not as stimulating as indoors for children to extend their learning through play" and "occasionally, not all parents and carers are fully involved in their children's learning".
The inspection, which took place on July 17, was the first since 2019, which also rated the nursery as 'good'.
Busy Bees is the UK's largest nursery group, with almost 400 nurseries.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's visited the company's Harrogate nursery this week.
