We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees Wandsworth. The staff are absolutely wonderful - so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. Our son loves going each day, which says everything! One of our favourite features is the app, which keeps us updated throughout the day with photos,
videos, and little insights into what he's been doing. It's so reassuring and lovely to feel connected while he's there. The outdoor space is fantastic. Really spacious, well-equipped and the children have clearly lots of fun exploring and playing. Perhaps most impressively, our son is a very picky eater at home, but at nursery he eats everything! The management team are brilliant, very hands on and offer a lot of flexibility which wasn't the case with the majoirty of other nurserys we looked at. We would highly recommend Busy Bees!

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The girls settlement at the beginning was challenging but after they felt comfortable and happy during their time there. A big part of that is down to the wonderful staff - they built such a warm and supportive environment.
The girls got on
really well with Juliana, Michelle and Juana, who were both kind, attentive, and engaging. A special mention has to go to Hannah, who truly stood out. She formed a lovely bond with the girls and made a lasting impression with her care, patience, and enthusiasm.
It's reassuring as a parent to see your children so happy and well looked after. We're very grateful for the care and attention the team has given.

Busy Bees Wandsworth has been fantastic for my son. The staff are hardworking, patient, and truly go above and beyond to support the us. In just a year, he's come on in leaps and bounds and is absolutely thriving. A lovely, trustworthy team that I couldn't recommend more.

Busy Bees Wandsworth is a lovely nursery!
My son has been attending the nursery for more than three years now. He has moved all the way through the three available rooms (baby, toddler and preschool) and he seems to enjoy each room more than the last. All transitions have been handled with care to
ensure a smooth experience. All rooms have enough space and appropriate toys and the staff are great with arranging interesting and different activities on a daily basis to keep children engaged. The outside area/garden is also very nice and children spend some time outside each day and seem to love it.
The people are great and really care about the children and their development. Management is efficient, approachable and always keen to address any issues/concerns swiftly. An additional bonus is the take home dinner provided until the age of three.
In summary, Busy Bees Wandsworth is a great nursery and I would recommend to anyone interested to seriously consider it as an option.

We are very happy with the nursery, our son loves it at Busybees. He comes home very happy and chatting about his day. He is building his confidence every week and all the fantastic staff and activities have played a huge part in this. Thank you to the lovely team for giving us a great experience.

I had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with the nursery. My daughter attended for a month and cried every day before going, and when we picked her up she was sad. This is unusual behavior for her, as we changed nursery and she goes there very happily. Furthermore, she only attended for a month and we had
several incidents; she arrived with a cut on her mouth, they didn't report anything, I sent an email and inquired via the app's chat, as instructed, with no response. In the end, she had three accidents where she got hurt in just one month, which shows me a lack of attention to the children. Besides that, they lost clothes... In short, mothers and fathers, don't trust this nursery with your children; and unfortunately I saw many children crying when I left my daughter there.

This nursery has made such a positive impact on my daughter, helping her to blossom and develop new confidence. Her key worker, has played a wonderful role in this journey, and I truly appreciate all the care and support she has provided.

Our baby loves it at Busybees Wandsworth Nursery. He's been attending from the age of one and every morning he enters the baby room he runs off! no tears of parting ways are shed. Then on pickups he still has a happy face. Our main priority is our son's happiness and Busy Bees and all the staff in
the baby room do just that. But a special mention to the lovely Deputy manager -the first staff member our son met and gravitated to! Overall lovely caring and extremely friendly staff across the entire nursery whom my son have encountered thus far. They have gotten to know our son and anticipate his every need. what more can we ask for! Our son has developed grown and learnt so much in less than a year! Brilliant nursery and amazing staff! Would definitely recommend

This nursery is fantastic!
Staff are so friendly and caring, always with lovely smiles on their faces. They have many different activities and events ongoing all the time.
Our son enjoys his time there a lot. He likes cuddling the teachers and spending fun time with his classmates. The staff send
us daily updates with sweet pictures of him. The lovely in-house chef cooks fresh meals for him every day. We can even take a dinner meal away for him which is so helpful for busy working parents!
The teachers are very nice, especially 2 staff members who are the main teachers in my son's class. They are so sweet to our son and we are very grateful for their kindness!
The nursery allows flexible days (minimum 1 day/week) and looks after our son carefully when he is a bit unwell (without the unreasonable and stupid 48-hour - quarantine rule following any fever our previous nursery had). They give considerable advice by taking each case of sickness/incident in a human and personal way.

Wonderful team who supports the growth and development of my child. They are more than just teachers. My daughter would jump into their arms and she adored them. They were knowledgeable about her learning and development and I knew she was in great hands. They host a variety of clubs and activities
and overall positive relationships with staff and parents. The support from management is also unbelievable. There every step of the way for guidance and support. Excellent communication and regular updates. What a dream team nursery.

My son started to attend Busy Bees at nine months old, and from the very start, all staff were very caring and supportive to both him and us as parents with the transition.
He loves everybody who cares for him in the room and you can genuinely see that they put effort into building connected
relationships with each child.
The amount of amazing activities that they do daily with him and the updates I get through the app are second to none. They really treat each kid individually whilst also sticking to a good routine for all. He has come on leaps and bounds with his eating which was always difficult at home how to use his cutlery and better drinking skills. It is hugely appreciated for a busy working mum that take-home is given as well he prefers nursery food to the food that I cook.
I can see he’s become a lot more social with other children and he is learning the boundaries of relationships through their interventions and activities.

My son has been at Busy Bees in Wandsworth since he was 11 months old; he's now 3. I highly recommend Busy Bees. The staff are caring and engaging with the children. The management are professional and offer a flexibility that's very rare with nurseries these days. There are often events held for
parents to come in and get to know other parents and children. We're moving soon and I'm very sorry we will have to leave Busy Bees.

My daughter who is now nearly 6 and my son who is nearly 3 have both used Busy Bees Wandsworth Town from 11 months of age. They both thrived in the space an the staff are kind and caring. I always feel comfortable leaving my children there. Plus they can do lots of water/messy play which I do not
want to do at home!
11 October 2023
The nursery staff is friendly and professional. They provide relevant updates and explain what is due next for the child. There are a number of activities that involve parents. We noticed it is important for our child to be able to share some experiences with the family. Overall happy with the
nursery.
10 October 2023
Excellent nursery. Fantastic activities, caring and enthusiastic staff.
My son has been attending since he was eight months old, and they have ensured that the transition was as seamless as possible. Always very responsive to any queries.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Wandsworth Nursery for 1.5 years now, and I couldn’t make a better choice. He absolutely loves going there. His key persons (toddler room) and (preschool) are very professional, and my kid loves them. His little brother will start here in January.
Management is
professional and very accommodating to any needs.
Highly recommend this nursery.
10 October 2023
My son has been attending Busy Bees in Wandsworth Town since she was nine months old. He is now a year old, and I can honestly say that he has had a wonderful experience there, and he is always happy to go there. The staff at the nursery have been excellent; they are kind, caring, patient, and
joyful.
I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Wandsworth for over three years. The team are warm, kind and caring. She has learned so much during her time from both her peers and her teachers.
The garden is a great resource, with loads of space for play.
The food is good and the chef is my daughter’s
absolute favourite.
The centre director and staff are accessible, communicative and kind.
I will be so sad when my daughter starts school as I think of the Busy Bees team as family and will really miss them, but we have made some, hopefully, lifelong friends.
07 August 2023
My daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Wandsworth Town since she was 10 months old. She is now 2.5 years old, and I can honestly say that she has had a wonderful experience there. The staff at the nursery have been excellent. They are kind, caring, and patient, and they have always made my
daughter feel safe and welcome. They have also been very helpful in supporting her development. I love all the craft activities that the nursery offers, as well as learning numbers, shapes, colours, playing in the garden and so many more activities they do every day. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for their child. I know that my daughter has benefited greatly from her time there, and I am confident that your child would too.
28 July 2023
My daughter was welcomed with open arms, the ladies really put in a lot of work to ensure the babies are entertained, fed, well-slept and loved. Babies are tricky but there is nothing the staff won’t do to try and make them feel comfortable and safe.
