Montessori by Busy Bees North Chiswick

My son attended this nursery for one and a half months. We then, unfortunately, had to move. However, the time he spent there was wonderful, the staff were so lovely with him, he really had a good time there and I saw a developmental leap for him. He was playing independently a lot more and he learnt to sleep in different environments, which he hadn't until that point, he is a fussy sleeper and we were pleasantly surprised when he started taking naps there. I loved the rooms, so spacious and lots of lovely activities. Being in there during the settling-in sessions was really nice as I got to see what they did and they do a lot! The app is so great in updating you constantly on what your child is doing and it is great to see photos of your child during the day. I always found the space to be clean and food smells delicious. The staff were really friendly. The director is very nice and a great communicator. Thank you to five members of staff in particular. Highly recommend this nursery.

First I felt that the school was very safe with the friendly staff. Special thanks to supportive and understanding two staff members in particular who worked with me and the child on separation anxiety. I like that it's an educational-based facility with a small ratio of children and exposes your child to different aspects of learning through sensory and play. The classrooms are clean and maintained during the day. Although I wish there was an indoor shoes policy in place. Playground is spacious and secure which is really nice. They set up a splash pool for children attending during summer's heatwave. Age groups are separated most days across 2 floors in beautifully set up rooms (We miss the staff member who worked on that with her team). All my questions or requests are always kindly answered. Under the new director we are seeing less staff rotation. Good communication face to face and through using an app. Opened 51 weeks a year 8.00 - 18.00, food is provided, nutritious and delicious thanks to Chef.

My daughter loves going to nursery and learns so much every day by getting involved in many different activities.

Absolutely love this nursery. They are genuinely, my little boy's, second family and I'm so grateful for the love and care they have given him over the years. I was able to go back to work last year, feeling so at ease, knowing they had his best interest at heart and that was priceless. So, thank you, to all the amazing staff!

Our daughter has been attending since 2019 and we are so happy with the nursery and will be sad to leave next year! My daughter absolutely loves it, the teachers are genuinely caring and nurturing. My daughter has progressed so much and misses it in the holidays! Would definitely recommend.

My daughter attends Busy Bees every afternoon using her 15 hours a week funding from the government. My daughter settled in right away when she started and loves her afternoons. It is a happy, safe and caring environment and I fully trust the staff. The food is healthy and tasty, and she gets fed twice in the afternoon! I have been really impressed by the attentiveness of the staff and although the manager has not been there long, she is doing a fantastic job of keeping high standards throughout yet maintaining a friendly, personal atmosphere in the nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I highly recommend this place.

Highly recommended.

The building and facilities are brand new. The staff is very friendly. Our son is very happy to go there. The toddlers are doing outdoor activities. We are missing some photos of the activities carried out, but this is about to change with the implementation of a new app to allow the staff to share pictures with the parents. We recommend the nursery.

My child started in Jan 2020. The nursery communicated a lot over lockdown. My little girl is back and is really happy! The staff are lovely and kind. I like it there and think it is a lovely nursery.

My son started in Busy Bees North Chiswick in January 2020, the nursery is run by a professional team who understand the importance of building a strong relationship between me and my son. They have paid special attention to my requirements and met my child’s needs. The nursery is warm and welcoming and are full of loving and caring staff, they have plenty of room of my son too develop and learn, they provide well-balanced meals. This is an all-round lovely nursery 5 stars from me and my son, would highly recommend to anyone who is looking too put their child in a nursery I’m a very happy mummy.

My son has been attending the nursery since September 2018 and he has become the happiest and most confident boy. The staff is very caring, attentive to the children's individual needs, they plan fun and engaging activities every day, are so welcoming in the morning and evening. He has brought home some beautiful paintings. The nursery has also been just refurbished and includes brand-new Montessori toys and design which is ideal for children's development. I love that nursery, my son feels safe there and am so glad he is attending it. Plus it's far from a high street so it's much less polluted than any nursery in West London which is the number one reason to send your baby there!

My son started attending the Montessori by Busy Bees at North Chiswick Nursery in Oct-18. Despite the complaints of some other parents and staff turnover earlier this year, my son has always been very happy to attend. He always felt safe, looked after and developed very quickly into a young and fun 19-month old boy. I have to say that over the past 6 months, staff and management have made a lot of efforts to get the nursery and even more fun and welcoming place with a beautiful refurbishment and further entertainment and development initiatives. The staff is very caring and loving and they are truly dedicated to make the nursery a fantastic place for the kids. The garden lacks green but there are a couple of nice local parks around that the kids and staff attend from time to time. Very happy happy kid and very happy dad!

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and this is down to the hard work, dedication and kindness of the staff and current management. My daughter feels secure and nurtured in her environment and she is stimulated by fantastic resources and engaging activities. My daughter's key worker ensures that she is being challenged in a class where she is one of the oldest by doing literacy, numeracy and spoken language tasks with her every day. Communication between staff and parent has improved greatly and I feel that I am able to get a picture of everything the nursery is doing with my child and the measures they have put in place to ensure the development of the children.

There have indeed been issues with rapidly changing management over a period around 2016-18, which unfortunately have also led to many changes in the staffing, but the effects on the children have been minimal. It is a reality that there are large fluctuations in teaching staff at nurseries, almost everywhere in London. I am very happy, though, that some of the teachers that had been looking after my older daughter since 2014 are still around and very happy to see her when she comes to pick up her sister with us. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

My daughter attended this nursery, and I can say that to begin with things weren't great, but the nursery has made lots of improvements. The nursery is looking a lot better due to refurbishment and new resources. The communication has improved immensely. The only negative for me, and it's very minor, is the garden is small but the children do go out and staff make the most of it. Management are helpful and friendly, and really show the vision for the nursery. My daughter left for school in August, I hope they continue to make progress. I would recommend.

I would recommend this nursery that in the last six months has changed so much! (New toys, new furniture, an app for the parent to check development and activities for your baby/child, healthy foods, improvement for the new EYFS update). Well done to everyone and thanks!

I am very satisfied with the staff in the baby room. We have very good communication - getting daily reports. I believe everyone is trying very hard to bring the nursery back to the best after changes in the management. For me, the most important thing is that my baby is happy and is enjoying every day in the nursery so much.

Do not even entertain this nursery, the nursery staff are trying their best, it's the leadership letting them down. It's unprofessional to the point that the person on reception (not the admin lady but part of the management team) letting in parents in the morning was on a personal call on her mobile swearing away. This is a nursery with young children around. The staff have all been leaving hence there is no staff and the staff that is there are run to the floor. Feedback about my child is poor and at times I have no idea what my child has even eaten. I am looking for a new nursery to send my child to as this nursery is so poor. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Also, it’s a nightmare to receive the deposit back once your child starts school and leaves the nursery.
