LEYF - Bushy Tails Nursery & Pre-School

The activities are varied and they get lots of time outdoors!

Our son has been attending Bushy Tails for two days a week for more than a year now, and we have had an excellent experience. He is always engaged and has formed great relationships with the excellent staff and other children. They often play outside or go on excursions, for example to Bushy Park next door or the library. The food is excellent, and I think has helped him expand his tastes. He is also on the egg ladder and we have had great support from the nursery in following this during nursery days. He's moving to the toddler room soon, and has again received great support, gradually increasing his time spent with the big children so as to not overwhelm him. Overall we cant recommend enough.

We have had a wonderful experience at Bushy Tails Nursery. The staff are caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. The activities are engaging, creative, and thoughtfully designed to help children learn, grow, and build confidence. It's clear that a great deal of care goes into creating a stimulating environment where every child can thrive. Our son loved the nursery from day one and developed tremendously during his time there. The meals are also exceptional. Bushy Tails Nursery provides a varied, nutritious, and seasonal menu, which our son thoroughly enjoyed! We couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years, and we would highly recommend Bushy Tails Nursery to other families.

Genuinely the best nursery!

We've had 2 children go through Bushy Tails, and so we've known the nursery and a lot of the staff for 7 years. They've been absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't recommend them more. They've shown so much patience, love and care to our girls, and we'll really miss everyone.

Bushy Tails is a nurturing, engaging and exceptionally well-run n

We are so grateful to all the teachers and staff for everything they do every day. They truly go above and beyond, and we couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

Despite the heat, children still enjoy ample outdoor time-safely. The nursery makes excellent use of shaded garden areas, water play stations, and cool-down zones, as well as air conditioning inside used to maintain a pleasant atmosphere to keep the children cool.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and high-quality

We have 2 children at the nursery, who are very happy and content. We love that you can drop them and pick them up straight from their room to see exactly where they are and what they're doing each day (there's nothing to hide), the food is always great and the staff are incredible. The care and attention for each individual child and their specific needs is brilliant, with specific personal plans in place where needed and development and encouragement given always. The garden space and access to the park is also great. We love Bushy Tails and thoroughly recommend if you're able to view! You also have the ability to request extra sessions if needed, which is a service which has been so valuable.

As a parent, my priority is to make sure that my daughter is somewhere safe and happy. Bushy Tails providing a great place to spend the day for our little ones and a relief for parents. Staff is just excellent, approachable and lovely. Outdoor space is something that you can't find everywhere. I feel lucky that I live close-by to Bushy Tails and have no doubt that my little one is being taken care of well. Thank you!

Amazing nursery. Amazing team of people. Over the past 2 years our son attended Bushy Tails. During that time his english language skills developed rapidly. The team even recognised his initiall struggle and made additional efforts to supprot his development since english was not his first language (Special thanks to Victoria, Kiran and Milie!). The team is very knowledgable on child development, leading them to gradually build their skills, grow confident and become more independent. At the same time the children had so much fun there. From water play, to puppet theatre, to gardening, to singing and playing music. A warm and friendly environment that in many regards feels like home.

Bushy Tails is a truly wonderful nursery, I can't recommend it highly enough. My son joined the preschool mid-year after we relocated, and everyone went above and beyond to help him settle in and feel so welcome. The outdoor space is fantastic, with lovely large gardens, with lots to explore. The compost, wormery and vegetable patches were his favourites. The food always looked great, and they often went out to the park, the shop, and the garden centre. They planned new fun, engaging activities for the children everyday. In just a short time, my son developed so much. I also really appreciated the extra effort the nursery put into organising events like Mother's Day, Father's Day, and graduation, which created such a lovely sense of community. Bushy Tails is a really special nursery, and we feel so lucky that our son had the chance to be part of it.

My daughter went to this nursery from 9 months old until leaving for school. I did not ever want her to leave, the nursery was so excellent! The staff are fantastic, they treat the children like their own family. They really get to know each individual so that they understand how to care for them and entertain them. My daughter loved all the days out they did, going somewhere on the bus or walking, but also really enjoyed the garden facilities. I liked that they got the kids outside all year round. Daily verbal feedback is really detailed as well as information on the app, it's nice to know what they've been up to. I couldn't recommend the nursery more.

Our 4 year old feels safe, happy, and supported every day. We couldn't ask for a more nurturing place! She has been attending since she was 9 months old and as we have no family around has only ever been cared for by us and Nursery. They really really care and I'm so thankful. She has learnt so much and is truly ready for school thanks to the teachers at Bushy Tails.

This nursery is an amazing place. My child attended from the toddler room to preschool, and we were extremely pleased with our choice. The staff are wonderful, always attentive and caring, and the facilities are excellent .The garden is a standout feature, making the environment even more enjoyable for the children. My daughter loved running around there in the summer, having fun outdoors. Additionally, the food served is healthy and well-balanced, which was a huge plus for us. Without a doubt, it made a significant difference in her development.

Bushy Tails Nursery & Pre-School is a warm, caring, and nurturing place where children thrive. The staff are wonderful, attentive, and creative, helping little ones learn, grow, and feel truly at home.

Highly recommend it to everyone.

My children have been at the nursery for 3 years and have enjoyed every stage of their time there. There is stability in the management and team of excellent room leaders who have been there a long time and are very supportive and knowledgeable on child development and learning. The outdoor facilities are brilliant and allow for shade in the summer, and for the different age groups to all be outside at the same time but playing separately. There is huge benefit for the children in being so close to Bushy Park and they really enjoy their trips there and to the stables on Park Lane.

This nursery is the best! The manager and every single member of staff are truly amazing. So much love and care and attention is paid to every child. The food is fresh and prepared with love and super healthy and delicious. I would sing the praises of Bushy Tails from the mountain tops if I could, but I'm not a climber!
