I am incredibly impressed with the outstanding care and dedication provided by the staff and management at Busy Bees Nursery. The team goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and welcoming environment where children can thrive. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for early childhood development are evident in everything they do. The management team is equally exceptional, ensuring smooth operations and always being approachable and responsive. They foster a supportive atmosphere for both parents and children, making communication seamless and transparent. Moreover, the cleanliness and hygiene standards at the nursery are impeccable. Every area is maintained to the highest standard, ensuring a safe and healthy space for the children. The staff’s attention to detail in maintaining a spotless environment is truly commendable. I am so grateful for the peace of mind that comes from knowing my child is in such capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Busy Bees Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and well-managed environment for their little one.

I’m finding it hard to write the words for this review. My son started here just after he turned one, and, although we are just over a month and a half in, I have confidence in saying that choosing Filmer rd is the best parenting decision I have made. Our son is so happy here. The staff are absolutely wonderful - making both parent and child feel content and at home, and doing everything needed to inspire confidence in them as caregivers of our children. This week’s activities to celebrate the start of the World Cup are inspired, fun and inclusive. The effort every member of staff makes is apparent each time we arrive. I cannot recommend it highly enough and thoroughly encourage anyone considering it as a nursery option to join up. Thank you Filmer for making our transition from full time parents to having a son in nursery part time as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My son goes since he was 18 months and he is now nearly 3 years old. They have been caring and amazing through the pandemic and now easing the final restriction, my son loves going there and is always happy to meet his friends and carers! I'd recommend it, Leona as well is doing an amazing job coordinating everything.

Best nursery ever. On the moment when I stepped in I knew that will be the nursery for my son. My son loves the nursery, he is enjoying every meal and he is extremely happy.
