This is a great quality daycare. The staff make me feel comfortable in knowing that someone will care for my baby in a way that any mother would. My son is truly one of their kids, not just a client. My baby adjusted well and is excited to come to school and that makes me feel secure.

had this to say:
After having our fourth child during Covid we were afraid to put our baby in daycare period but we run a few businesses and was worried about our baby not getting what he needs from us in these very important years of his life. One of our clients suggested her daycare and her child is now 7 yrs old she told me how he loves it’s there at Britteny’s Busy Body daycare that he even spent time there during Covid and Mrs Annette who owns and operate it taught him how to read, potty trained him and was meticulous about what he ate, she also which might I add started it because she needed a trusted place for her baby so it was because of the love of her child why she started this business so after hearing and meeting her and feeling her spirit during our conversation my child has been attention the daycare for a few months he smiles when he sees her in the morning and doesn’t cry anymore when dropped off and the other day he was trying to sing his ABC’s, we’re truly blessed to have Mrs Annette in our lives:)

had this to say:
Since becoming a mother, Ms. Annette has been nothing but a blessing in the sky. In 2019 she took in my 2 year old daughter. In 2020 she then took in my 6month old son. What she does is more than a miracle. The tasty meals, attentive learning activities, potty training, arts and crafts all have my kids thriving. My daughter is 5 reading at a 2nd grade level and doing addition and subtraction with no problem because of Ms Annette. I tell everyone I know about her when looking for a daycare. You will not be disappointed
