This is a fantastic nursery. Our little boy started last November and is so happy and content there. The staff are amazing and he loves each morning he spends there. The activities are really engaging and have really helped his development. Highly recommend it.
My child is happy going to nursery. She is learning a lot new things, doing interesting experiments and explores different things. Loves her teacher and children she going with. Coming back home happy.
Magic Tower (busy bees) is faultless. I have had the privilege of both my girls attending over the past few years, my youngest still in attendance until summer 26, we couldn't be happier. The staff MAKE the nursery! Their knowledge, patients, compassion and faultless care bring our the best in our girls. They nurture, challenge and promote learning at every opportunity with their Montessori approach. My eldest has started school with lot of knowledge for reception class already under her belt. They support parents and children alike though the high and lows of life and are never too busy to listen. They understand that your child is your priority and the make it theirs too. I truly believe that they have given our girls, as well as ourselves as first time parents, the best start in life. This setting will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
All the staff are lovely and very helpful. You can really see how much they care for each child.
My son has been at Busy Bees since February 2024 - settled very happily, great care and attention to detail from staff. He comes home happy and his language has developed lots. Thank you.
Excellent - from communication, diversity of activities, interest and attention to my son has been brilliant. He loves it and has developed under the guidance of the assistant centre director.
The staff are all brilliant and our daughter has learnt so much. She does a wide variety of activities and always comes home having enjoyed her day. We definitely made the best choice by sending her here!
All the staff are wonderful, dedicated and provide a safe environment where children can discover, grow and feel confident.
Thank you so much for giving our daughter such a wonderful start to learning.
we are so grateful to the staff there for their kind and patient nature. We are confident that going to the nursery will ease her transition to school. Me and my daughter will have many fond memories of Busy Bees and all the staff who work there.
Both my daughters have been to The Magic Tower (my eldest finished last June, as she started school in September, and my youngest is there at the moment). It’s an amazing place for little ones and they are so well looked after. All the teachers are amazing and work really hard to make sure all the children are happy. I cannot recommend it enough - it gives me such reassurance knowing my daughter is there, safe and happy, while both my husband and I work.
Overall, I am very happy with The Magic Tower (Busy Bees Andover) nursery. My child is happy there and thrives in the environment. They seem to learn a great deal and come home with various things they have done throughout the day. The staff there are second to none; friendly, knowledgeable and put the children front and centre of what they do. Since it has been taken over by Busy Bees, the communication hasn’t been as good as I would have hoped. The weekly newsletter now only appears once a month and is about the whole of Busy Bees, so hardly mentions Magic Tower. I am saddened that the website is virtually non existent still after months and months. There is very little information on it, when it used to be full of anything you would want to know. Overall, I cannot fault the staff at Magic Tower.

My daughter has attended Egg Day Nursery at The Magic Tower Montessori for 14 months now and she is thriving thanks to the care and expertise of the lovely staff here. The facilities are perfect for little ones and she is enjoying her forest school afternoons. I love how the children have the opportunity to learn about things they are interested in and to share their interests with their friends. My daughter has grown so much in confidence during her time here. Thank you to the staff for the support you have given, we are so grateful that our little girl has had the opportunity to attend such a positive and caring nursery.
This is our second term at Magic Tower and the experience has far exceeded our already high expectations, given their excellent reputation. We have been amazed at how quickly our daughter is learning new things, and the confidence and independence Magic Tower has already instilled in her. She loves going to nursery, and has formed a very special bond with both teachers and classmates. As parents, we love how warm and welcoming the whole team is, be it Forest School, the Jubilee Picnic – or simply at drop off/pick up – there is a genuine sense that everyone at Magic Tower is invested in creating a positive and happy learning environment for the children. Highly recommend!
Egg Day Nursery at Magic Tower is an exemplary example of a nursery/pre-school and I cannot speak highly enough about the team and facilitates (particularly the team!). My daughter has been attending Magic Tower for eight months now and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch her grow and develop. The team are attentive, caring, knowledgeable and highly engaged with our daughter. Feedback and development plans are always given - on time, in full and always followed through. I cannot recommend Magic Tower enough! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.
Magic Tower has been the most wonderful experience for my son and daughter - amazing staff in a lovely, calm, secure and caring environment. The attention to detail for each child and their learning needs is true Montessori, and their confidence has developed so much as a result. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their little one.
I cannot really praise the school and the staff enough. I have always recommended it to others when the subject has been raised. Well done chaps!
Magic Tower is amazing. The staff are second to none, and really do care for every single child, they make an effort to remember parent names, not just "x's mum/dad". My daughter is now at Magic Tower, following her brother who attended Rabbits and Winnies until he left for school in Summer 2019. She was on the waiting list since I was pregnant with her, my husband and I loved the nursery so much we wanted to guarantee she got a space when she was two. Since starting she has come on in leaps and bounds, her speech has developed and been encouraged, it is lovely to see pictures of her playing and interacting in the weekly newsletter, as we saw with her big brother. I am 100% sure that we made the right decision in sending both our son and daughter to Magic Tower. They have been incredibly well looked after and when our son comes to collect his sister, he is greeted warmly, by name, by the staff who ask him about school and how he is, excited to hear how he is getting on. A truly wonderful place.
I only have fantastic things to say about the nursery. I could not wish for a better place for my children to start their education. The staff are amazing. They are friendly, professional and caring.
