I am in no doubt that Manor Hill Day Nursery is in great hands. Busy Bees share our mission: to ensure every child’s happiness, wellbeing and progress is central to their early years. Natasha Satterthwaite at Redwoods has been fantastic assisting with the sale of our nursery. Always at the end of the phone with nothing too much to ask. I’d recommend RDK to everyone.”
