Take a look inside new nursery creating a buzz on Corby's newest estate

Parents on a Corby estate now have childcare close to hand after a new nursery welcomed babies, toddlers and children into the bespoke state-of-the-art building.

Busy Bees on Priors Hall can care for up to 120 babies and children aged from three months to five-years-old in designated areas for each age group.

An infant suite, a free-flow garden and a creative play area welcome babies, tots and pre-schoolers to the facility in the heart of Priors Hall in Hyde Place.

Claire Riley, centre director at Corby Priors Hall Park, said: “We’re thrilled to give local people in Corby a first look inside our brand-new Corby nursery. We’ve worked really hard to create an environment that is not only welcoming and homely, but also encourages creativity and development, and we’re incredibly proud of the result.

“It’s been a challenging year for parents. Choosing the right nursery is never easy, even in the best of times, so we’d like to encourage parents to take advantage of our opening offer and book an appointment so we can discuss the ways we can support them and their early years needs in the future.”

Featuring calming, light colours and soft wood furniture, the nursery has been designed to give encourage children to take part in a variety of activities, from yoga to creative play, to help develop motor and cognitive skills. All rooms will also have access to a free-flow garden.

The nursery has a dedicated infant suite for children aged from three months old and an infant room for children aged one to two years, complete with toys to stimulate all five senses and support their early development.

A spokesman for Busy Bees Priors Hall said: "Children aged two or over will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and age-appropriate resources to ignite their passion for learning and develop their creative skills early on.

"Children attending the new Corby nursery will benefit from nutritious, NHS-accredited meals and snacks, freshly prepared on site by the nursery’s chef.

"Parents will also gain exclusive access to Busy Bees’ Unleashing Potential’ (UP) app, which helps to support children’s learning and development, as well as their child’s unique online Learning Journal, ParentZone."
