My child has had a positive experience at this nursery. The staff are kind caring and approachable, and I feel confident that his safety and wellbeing are always a priority. I am pleased with the nursery's safeguarding practices and the support and communication provided to parents. I would like him to continue with his potty training while he is at nursery, as he seems to wet his nappy more often there than he does at home. We are making good progress at home, so having the same encouragement and routine at nursery would really help with consistency. I would also like him to have more opportunities to learn and recognise colours as part of his development. Overall I am very happy with the care and support he receives and appreciate everything the staff do.

I'm so grateful we stayed. Every member of staff has taken the time to understand my daughter as an individual, making her feel safe, valued, and included. They've never compared her to other children or pressured her to meet milestones, instead supporting her at her own pace with patience and kindness.
The nursery has worked closely with us and external professionals to meet her needs, always taking a solution-focused approach. Their genuine care has helped my daughter grow in confidence, and she now loves going to nursery. As a parent, I couldn't ask for more, and I'm incredibly grateful to the whole team for believing in her and helping her thrive.

The nursery offers a fantastic range of activities that support children's physical development, as well as early number and letter skills through fun, engaging play. The food is varied, nutritious and enjoyed by our daughter.
The staff are incredibly friendly and caring, and it's wonderful that they know every child by name, even if they're not based in their room. The facilities are excellent, with a large outdoor garden that gives the children plenty of space to play and explore.
We also love the family events, such as Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, which are a lovely way to involve parents. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring, supportive and stimulating environment.
We have been very impressed with how friendly the staff are. From day 1, every staff member I have interacted with were extremely friendly & most importantly very caring. Feels like a great environment for children

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees Mottingham since last year. She has grown more and more comfortable with every passing day. She seems happy and excited going into nursery. She began to wean while there and her carers have made the best effort to get comfortable with it. Today she seems enjoy all her tea. Her day is filled with activities and fun hobbies. Her carers are giving me updates about her growth and development consistently and continually. I particularly love that they share photos of her at nursery and the developmental milestones. They share th same excitement at us about these improvements. This gives me confidence and a sense of security about leaving her at nursery. And she seems to miss her carers when she does not go to nursery. It's clear she has formed strong bonds there. She even seems to miss her carers when she doesn't attend nursery.

In that time, they have developed fantastically. The staff are very caring and they have a good core team of staff that have been there for some time. I always get detailed feedback at the end of the day. I hear about the healthy meals they have eaten, they educational and fun activities they have done, and of course toilet info and nap info. They also have a good app relaying these details.
I have been very impressed with Busy Bees. They are inclusive and have created a nice community, celebrating each others differences through things like Cultural Day and ' Country of the Month'.
I thoroughly recommend them.
My Daughter has been attending this nursery since may but in such a small amount of time she has developed amazingly. I'm always so impressed with the thorough feedback and progress checks everytime I collect her. She knows every staff by name and so do I now. It's so lovely to be surrounded by...
Keep up the fantastic work guys, you are all contributing to raising the most wonderful children and you should be so proud!
Love from a very grateful mummy!
One member of staff, in particular, and the team are very professional and my children love coming to nursery every day.

Since he began teaching him, my son has shown remarkable positive growth, not only academically but also emotionally and socially. He has a unique gift for bringing out the best in children, fostering a supportive and stimulating environment where they can thrive. The nursery is always filled with positive energy, and my son eagerly looks forward to going to nursery each day because of him.
He is an invaluable asset to the nursery. His dedication, passion, and genuine care for the children make him an outstanding educator. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity he pursues; any institution would be lucky to have him.
The teachers at your nursery have all been amazing. Thank you soo much
My daughter has been at Busy Bees Mottingham since January 2023 and has absolutely thrived there. The staff are attentive, friendly, fun and full of enthusiasm for their jobs and the children's development. The nursery has a homely, comforting feel to it with so many activities, toys and displays...
The menu is very nutritious and my daughter eats well. There is a lending library for the children to borrow books from, which we love, and a lending library for parents is currently in the works!
All the staff work hard and are great, and the nursery manager has done a brilliant job since she's been in post at making the nursery a lovely environment for both children and parents.
We can't recommend Busy Bees Mottingham highly enough - it has been a joy seeing our daughter so happy to run in every morning!

After our eldest (who is now in school) attended Busy Bees Mottingham; we knew for sure we needed to look for no alternative nursery for our second child. Busy Bees Mottingham is managed by the manager who is a very organised, efficient and focused managed who thrives to run a high quality nursery. The staff in the baby are absolutely incredible & affectionate in looking after the babies and children with utmost care. They are always able to accommodate any short notice requests for childcare whenever possible. They have a beautiful large garden and a huge area for play for the children. We have known Busy Bees for approximately almost 3 years and we are grateful for the support they continue to provide towards our children. The saddest part was seeing some very liked staff members leave, regardless the manager always ensures the new recruitment of professionally qualified & nursery staff that have the safety & care of children at their priority. Thank you Busy Bees Mottingham!
Busy Bees London Mottingham was where my son attended, transitioning from the baby room to the toddler room and finally, to preschool. In the early days, the management was quite poor, with weak communication and a high staff turnover, which created a sense of instability. But when the new manager...
The nursery itself is great, with fantastic outdoor spaces and a wide range of activities for the children. My son especially loved the Spanish lessons in preschool and the rugby sessions.
One thing the nursery could benefit from is a bit of a makeover. A fresh coat of paint and some modern renovations would brighten up the space.
Ultimately, my son thrived at Busy Bees, I was really pleased with the positive changes and care he received under the new management.
The staff are very friendly, loving and affectionate. We chose this nursery for the care and attention they showed our child. Our child has a strong personal bond with her key worker and loves the bubbly staff. She always comes home smiling!

We just started but the staff have been very attentive to my son's needs. They have helped him integrate with other children.

The staff are welcoming and friendly to both myself and my baby. They are very efficient and picked up on certain behaviours that my daughter was showing and put a plan in place quickly for her to work on it. The nursery is clean and tidy and I am very happy I put my daughter there.
