A NURSERY in Weymouth is 'buzzing' to be open again after welcoming back the community for the first time since lockdown began.

Busy Bees nursery in Melcombe Court has invited local parents to book an appointment to be a part of its open day tomorrow - the first since lockdown measures were eased.

The nursery has introduced a number of safety measures in order to make its open day as safe as possible. To help limit the number of people in the nursery at any one time, parents will need to book their timeslot before they visit the nursery, visitors will also be asked to wear face coverings and maintain a two-metre distance wherever possible.

Kelly Ashley, centre director at Busy Bees Weymouth, said: “The last few months have really shown the importance of friendship and community spirit, and we are thrilled to be bringing people together once again as we emerge from these very challenging times. With our first open day in months, we’re excited to celebrate the community spirit of our area and welcome back some familiar faces, while showcasing all the wonderful things we’ve been up to here at Busy Bees Weymouth.

“We remain committed to providing the best start in life for children, no matter the circumstances, so this will also be a fantastic opportunity to show parents what a day at our nursery looks like now. This is set to be an inspiring day, and we can’t wait to welcome the people of Weymouth – it’s great to be open again.”
