Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for over 3 years now. She's very happy there and has been throughout. She's engaged and challenged. It's a warm and caring environment with wonderful staff, we would thoroughly recommend it.

Overall Experience

Our son loves Busy Bees and has been very happy here. We feel he is well looked after and all the staff have a genuine warmth and affection for the children. Children are really prepared well for school and our son has learnt the alphabet, phonics and numbers. He has also had an immense amount of fun and made a lot of lovely friends here. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Review from R E (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When I enrolled my daughter into the nursery, it was a big change for her, and she's not a fan of changes. She started having some trouble adjusting. But after a few months, the staff at the nursery really stepped up and encouraged her in the right way. I've noticed so many positive changes in her since then. She's improved a lot in her learning, like going from not being able to write the alphabet to now writing letters on her own. It's truly a wonderful nursery with exceptional staff. Oh, and the food options are fantastic too.

Review from E D (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter started going to Busy Bees when she was 10 months old. She loved it instantly.
We did a lot of research before choosing the right nursery and everybody kept telling us that Busy Bees Lewisham was special because of the staff. They couldn't be more right. Staff are caring, professional, present, fun, supportive.
Our daughter established a wonderful relationship with her key person from the very beginning and it's been great watching her developing, growing up, making friends in such a lovely environment.
You can tell from her smile in the morning and her smile in the afternoon how much she loves going there.
The in-house chef is another plus.

I will be forever grateful to Busy Bees Lewisham which feels like a second family to us.

A wonderful nursery that I feel very lucky to have two children happily attending. Always recommend it to friends in the area. The SEN support has also been excellent. Keep up the good work, Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

A brilliant nursery that our son has been thriving at for the past three years. The staff are warm and welcoming and always have the children's best interests at heart. They organise fantastic learning activities and arrange plenty of outdoor play. We've been so happy with Busy Bees Lewisham that we have also enrolled our younger child there to start in the new year.

Review from Ximena D (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees Lewisham for almost a year - since she was six months old. The staff has always been wonderful, making us feel reassured and confident from the start, as she began attending at a pretty young age, and I was quite nervous about it. Her key persons love her as their own, and so does she - I know she's in good hands. We have loved watching her enjoy herself, grow and develop new skills during her time at Busy Bees so far, and are so thankful to the entire team for their care and dedication.

Review from Megan C (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so happy that I chose Busy Bees Lewisham for my daughter. When she joined the baby room, the staff were very supportive of the transition meaning she settled in really well. They helped maintain naps and feeding schedules/weaning choices we had in place at home. She has moved up through the rooms and is now in preschool. All the staff have been so amazing and caring towards my daughter and she comes home speaking about them fondly and even naming her toys after them. Her development across the early years strands is evident and more importantly, she comes home happy and I could not ask for more. If I ever have more children, Busy Bees Lewisham will be at the top of my list!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Lewisham since her first year. The settling-in sessions were perfectly adjusted according to my baby's needs. She is now a toddler who started talking about her friends there and the staff who take care of her. I feel she is happy, and safe and has started developing good and essential skills for her life and as a result, I can as a parent, go to work knowing she is in good and safe hands. Thank you, Busy Bees team!

Our little boy (now 2) has attended Busy Bees Lewisham full time since being 8 months old and has loved it from day 1! He eats well, sleeps well, and has lots of fun with his friends at nursery.
We trust the staff has his wellbeing to heart. He’s grown and developed so much since joining and it’s such a joy to see him run into nursery so happily.

Thank you Busy Bees.

Very happy with Busy Bees, Lewisham. The staff go above and beyond and my son feels very happy and secure there. They are also very thorough in implementing support and in tailoring it for your child's specific needs. Feel lucky to have our child there.

Review from K W (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved our daughter to Busy Bees from another nursery that hiked their fees up last year. We were nervous that she would struggle to settle in as she was only, 1 and had started to make strong connections to her previous key worker. How wrong we were.
The staff at Busy Bees Lewisham are absolutely brilliant. They are child-focused and all take the time to make special bonds with the children. At the end of the day we always get a thorough update of how she has been and what she’s been doing so we feel very in the loop.
Every morning when we drop her off she runs down the hall to the classroom laughing away, so clearly happy and excited to start another day. She adores the staff there and runs to them with open arms (usually forgetting to say bye to me or her dad). She has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time. Her speech, relationships, and general awareness have developed massively.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery more.

My daughter loves her two days a week at Busy Bees. She's always excited to go in the morning and keen to tell us all about her day at pick-up. She has come on so much thanks to the care and support the staff have given her.

Review from Laura J (Mother of Child) published on 15 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been doing the settling-in sessions before my son joins, and I am just so impressed with the process and how lovely and welcoming everyone has been. I was slightly anxious about him starting nursery as he can get overwhelmed easily, but I needn’t be as the team have been really great at making sure my son and I are comfortable and happy. It’s been a much better experience than anticipated, and I know he’s in good hands.

Overall Experience
If our daughter had to rate this nursery she would give it a million twinkle stars but she’s too young to count yet so we’ll have to just settle for 5 stars for now. She’s been attending Busy Bees since August 2022 and so far the experience has been perfectly smooth, including the very gentle settling-in process (I don’t always mention how fabulous it is to other parent friends for fear that it sounds like bragging)
The staff are all so kind and loving and engage the kids with plenty of fun indoor and outdoor activities, the menu is nice and varied and our little one loves it so much here she doesn’t even look back at us when we drop her off!

Very happy we managed to secure a place here and it will be our first choice should we have a second child.

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am very happy with our choice to send our child to Busy Bees Lewisham. Despite the location near a busy road, the nursery feels like a cosy gem cocoon. My child has been at the nursery from the baby room through to toddlers, and I felt she has been loved and nurtured through every room. From a gentle and understanding settling in period to the provision of exciting and stimulating activities through the ages, 've been really happy. The assistant centre director has been a real diamond (although all our key workers have been lovely) and as a first time parent I felt my anxieties were understood and addressed with care. Food is varied and fresh on site and caters thoughtfully for allergies. We are updated throughout the day via the app and at the end of the day, even when it feels super busy. The staff do an amazing job. The outdoor space is unfortunately small but I'm happy that my child has good access to the outdoors whenever possible.

We have very good experience with Busy Bees Lewisham Day Nursery.
My son has been going to this nursery since he was 11 months until now that he is 3. Our daughter will enjoy the nursery in a few days and we can not wait to see how she learns and plays there.

Some people there are lovely and always happy to help with anything.

Review from Davelyn T (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Busy Bees Lewisham since he was eleven months old and now is almost four years old. The nursery has remained professional, the staff caring and every question or concern that I have raised has been addressed with the utmost care and professionalism. My son has developed in leaps and bounds. His speech, numeracy, and ability to interact with other children is a testament to the staff. I even notice the great influence the nursery has had on him when we go to kiddie birthday parties. He is able to quickly follow instructions, sit in a circle and play nicely. I am about to have baby number 2 and Busy Bees remains my very first choice!
