Overall Experience

The staff are lovely and take good care of my child. We always have a report of his day. The nursery really pays attention to my child's specific needs and do their absolute best to make him happy. We are always happy that there are lots of activities.

Overall Experience
Choosing somewhere for the most precious thing in your life to stay is not easy. However, after visiting Many nurseries, we knew that this was the right one for us. The manager was amazing on our first visit and staff really took an interest in our child, which we did not see anywhere else.

Our child has now just finished settling into the nursery and his key-person makes us feel settled as well as him. We are welcomed well into the nursery in the morning and get lovely feedback at the end of the day. I can't fault the manager or any of the nursery team we have come into contact with. We recommend this nursery 100% and urge all parents to take a look.

Overall Experience

My main concern at the moment is the fact that the number of kids seems to have dropped significantly and what does that mean? Why have other kids been leaving and in addition what is the plan to get new kids in as I would like slightly bigger class sizes.

Overall Experience

Since joining Busy Bees at Wandsworth, my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going into nursery every day and that is entirely up to the amazing staff in the nursery. The nursery also looks amazing since the new refurbished!!

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery with staff who genuinely care about the children and their wellbeing. Brilliant nursery for a working mum as you do not have to worry about sending in nappies, wipes and milk as it's all included in the fees. They also provide takeaway dinner for the kids to take home, another bonus as you don't have to worry about dinner. The meals are very tasty, kudos to the chef. My daughter is settling in well and likes the nursery very much.

Overall Experience
OMG, this place has just had an amazing refurb, it's like the most beautiful nursery in the world!
Whenever I came to drop off my sister, she was always welcomed so well by the staff team. Really high staff to child ratios, such a calm relaxing environment!
Sadly had to transfer to different Busy Bees, but she still talks about the staff and children at Wandsworth, so heartbreaking!

Plus the cook is amazing! (she gave me some home made biscuits once lol)

Review from Janine R (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2y old is currently in the toddler room, she spent a year in the baby room before that and she is very happy with Busy Bees. The staff are very loving and caring and great with the kids, almost like one big family. It seems like she learns something new every day. It is amazing to see how she has developed since going to Busy Bees and it was also very beneficial for her confidence and interaction with other kids. The nursery has recently been refurbished and looks amazing, the outside space and toys are great. Thanks for doing an amazing job, it makes it so much easier to leave my daughter there every day.

Review from Melanie C (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been with Busy Bees since he was 6 months old. It has now been over a year and a half. He's been from the baby room now to toddlers and he is absolutely loving it. There is a real bond with the other children who have mostly been there just as long and the staff. He is also showing great signs of development compared to other children his age who may not be attending a nursery. The facilities have recently been refurbished and are brilliant. The food is fresh and made on site, which was a big selling point for us. The kids absolutely love it and take part in baking activities now and again. Last but not least, most of the children at Busy Bees Wandsworth have a multicultural and multilingual background, which I think is extremely positive for all in these early years of development.

Review from Sebastien (Father of Child) published on 16 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attends Busy Bees at Wandsworth. She settled in extremely fast which reassured me that this is the right place for her to develop and flourish. She immediately warmed to her care-workers who made her feel welcome and settled and they keep me involved in her development daily. I’m amazed by the rate of her development over the last month. Her vocabulary has expanded much to my amusement, her hand-eye coordination is superb and her confidence has vastly improved.

In my first week, the manager assured me there would be many changes to the facilities, staff and practice which I’ve seen progressively happen. I’m extremely happy to see that she's actually making a positive change and impacting my daughter’s education in a great way and not simply about securing my money.

Review from Fiona (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two children (3 and 1) currently attend Busy Bees at Wandsworth, in preschool and 'baby'. Both kids are very happy and settled at the nursery. They enjoy their daily activities, particularly cooking classes, and playing in the outside playground. The staff are supportive and kind. I really appreciate how the nursery is flexible with accommodating extra days in nursery when there is some work thing I need to deal with. And the 'take home meals' are actually very helpful.

Review from KB (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to the nursery for almost 2 years now. She enjoys her time in the nursery and is happy with the care takers. After the refurbishment, the rooms are more spacious and airy. Since the last couple of months, systematic activities are planned with each child based on their needs. We appreciate that the dietary requirement of the children are taken into consideration. In the past, there have been too many management changes and key people have moved on. There was no adequate handover and we felt things were not structured. We really hope the latest changes are here to stay.

Overall Experience
Very well run nursery, management team are very efficient and approachable. Welcoming environment, children always seem happy. Excellent resources, my son loves his key worker and there seems to be a very good partnership with the parents forming, which is great for me, especially as I really want to be involved with my child's day and help out the team as and when I can.

I really hope they continue to flourish as they are doing so and I am looking forward to myself my wife and my son being a part of this journey. Well done Busy Bees Wandsworth team!
