Overall Experience

The staff at Busy Bees Teddington really care about the children and their development. I love seeing the photos on the app of all the creative activities my daughter does each day. The option to start at 7.30 is really helpful for our family.

Overall Experience

My oldest child has been at Busy Bees Teddington for 2.5 years and my youngest child started a few months ago. We are very happy with the nursery. The staff are very friendly and helped make the settling in period for both of them as smooth as possible. Both boys love all of the staff and have a great time, with plenty of activities, outdoor time in the garden and good food. The staff are very helpful and give great handover's at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from F E (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees Nursery. From the settling-in sessions, the team made both myself and my toddler feel welcome, supported, and reassured. After a very difficult experience at his previous nursery, I was nervous about starting again, but Busy Bees has truly exceeded every expectation and gone above and beyond to help him settle.
All staff have been incredibly friendly, relatable, and supportive, always taking time to listen and make us feel comfortable. Dani, the Centre Director, is amazing and creates such a positive environment. Brooklyn, my toddler's key worker, has been fantastic - patient, caring, and truly invested in his happiness. Ashleigh and Daisy have also been wonderful and so encouraging.

Every staff member deserves recognition. Thanks to their kindness and dedication, my toddler now walks in happily and confidently. I'm so grateful for the care and support they've shown our family.

I highly recommend this nursery. My daughter attends Busy Bees at Teddington since January and she always looks forward to going to the nursery. She plays a lot and every day there are different activities organised to help her develop. Kids eat very healthy food and they learn to be independent. The staff are very kind, helpful and caring.

Our two kids attend Teddington Busy Bees and love it. The nursery is really well run and all the staff are so kind, caring and diligent. Great outdoor space for the kids and a real focus on providing fun, diverse and engaging activities each day. Dani and the team do a fantastic job, highly recommended.

Review from Melinda S (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has had a hard year as we navigate divorce and custody arrangements. The busy bees staff have been incredibly supportive, intuitive, proactive and empathetic through this difficult time. They have all gone out of their way to tend to our son's emotional well being, learning his favourite things, slowing down to meet him where he's at and nurturing him through his separation anxiety. They have even made time to tend to my emotional wellbeing. Calling to let me know how he's settled after a difficult drop off, being flexible with pick up and drop off arrangements. Dani is a dedicated and insightful leader of this dynamic group of carers and our son's key workers Brooklyn and Candice are like his fun aunts. I honestly couldn't be more grateful for have their unwavering support.

Review from H G (Father of Child) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We chose this nursery due to having such great first impressions from the staff when coming to view. We had a look at all rooms and liked how clean and inviting they looked, and how the older children seemed so enthusiastic whilst getting stuck in with activities.
My baby joined when only 9 months so was anxious but staff couldn't have made me or my daughter feel more comfortable. During the settling process I was able to see how kind and nurturing the staff were towards my baby as well as all of the others in the room which put my mind at ease completely. I was instantly happy to leave my daughter with the staff.

They were very keen to understand our routine at home and have been following this since she started which has helped massively with her transition into nursery. I am so impressed with their attentiveness and communication skills. I love receiving all the photos each day of her playing happily with activities and love my girls face when she sees her key worker in the morning

Review from T M (Guardian of Child) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Not a great experience.
My daughter had a few settling in sessions which didn't go well, the show around was really good so I wasn't expecting a negative experience at all.
I thought having to pick her up half an hour into the sessions hysterically crying was normal for babies settling into nursery, which it wasn't as we've had such an amazing experience with her new nursery.
I don't think the baby rooms are supervised enough, the staff don't seem to engage much with the babies at all and it doesn't seem to be the safest environment for that age group. Staff on occasions were unprofessional when dealing with babies.

I therefore made the decision to send her somewhere else, which was the best choice I've ever made. I would just urge people to be mindful when considering this nursery for babies. The older rooms did seem a lot better but that was based off of a show around.

Review from Kat A (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son joined Busy Bees Teddington when he was 14 months old and I will admit I was nervous - he was our firstborn and he was a very nervous baby that wasn't comfortable in new surroundings and with new people. The staff at Busy Bees were amazing and he has absolutely thrived there - I cannot believe the positive changes that we have seen and he always has the best day when I pick him up.
What originally sold this nursery to us was the relationships that the staff had with the children. We had walked around a few newer nurseries but none of them had the family feel that Busy Bees had. I remember walking into the older children's room and all of the kiddies coming up to say hello to our boy and they all asked if we had met their siblings in the other rooms. The staff obviously knew all of the children in all of the rooms and that family feel was exactly what we were looking for.

Absolutely brilliant and we are sad to leave. Thank you so much for all your help and care.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has attended Busy Bees for three years and is graduating preschool this September. Overall, the experience has been positive, the staff are amazing and the care she receives has been excellent.
Like anywhere, there have been some ups and downs but the staff have made every effort to rectify these small things when they have been flagged and have really been incredible with keeping in touch.

We will genuinely miss everyone at Busy Bees and are so glad that we chose to place our daughter here.

Very happy with Busy Bees Teddington. Amazing staff. They always prepare plenty of activities for the children and they seem to enjoy them a lot! The meals that are cooked onsite are delicious (so told by the kids) and we couldn't have asked for more from all of them.

Overall Experience

We joined Busy Bees in September 2023, our children were at another nursery and we decided it was best to change due to the quality of care being provided. The staff at Busy Bees have been fantastic with both of our children. We get daily updates about them and the staff really show they care not only about the children but also the parents. We feel confident that our children's needs are being met and it's always lovely to hear our kids speak so highly of the staff.

Review from Chloe F (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff have done a fantastic job stepping up to cover leave. They are always responsive to calls and let us know how our children are doing. We often receive calls with urgent information and the handover is comprehensive. We receive lovely photos of our boys playing and learning. The staff are all extremely supportive, particularly with our youngest who likes a lot of one-to-one care.

Reply from Hannah Mcphail, Centre Director at Busy Bees Teddington

Thank you for your lovely comments. We always want to make sure we are providing the highest quality care for the children and ensure that parents are receiving regular updates and photos.

He is developing new skills every day and is clearly super happy and fulfilled.

Our daughter joined Busy Bees Teddington just after turning 2 years old. Since then, she has thrived so much and is now a very bright girl. We feel that our daughter is much loved by the staff and her peers and is always happy to go to nursery. Our son just joined too and he loved it since day one. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go for Busy Bees Teddington.

We are very pleased with the staff support and nurturing of our daughter at Busy Bees, Teddington. All staff take an active interest in her when we drop her off and pick her up and she has started to settle in very well. We are pleased to hear about the different activities and see pictures of her enjoying them. We continue to appreciate hearing about the new activities the nursery offer her and the feedback we get about her interests and development. The staff are always great to deal with and our daughter loves being in their company.

The review relates to the past 2 years actually, not just 1 month.
We are very happy with the nursery and our daughter is happy. She develops well, she loves to go there. Knowing that your child is comfortable there, is very reassuring.
There is honestly nothing to complain about.
The staff and management is amazing.

We are really grateful for all their work.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Busy Bees since September 2022 and he absolutely loves it and has achieved so much in the last few months with a lot of patience AND understanding from the staff at the nursery. I cannot thank all the staff enough for what they have done with him getting ready for reception in September 2023. My son will be very sad to leave, as will I.
