Busy Bees Day Nursery at Woking, established in 2001, is a childcare setting for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery provides a stimulating environment where children develop positive attitudes towards learning and become curious explorers.
The dedicated staff team creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, focusing on building strong relationships with children and their families. Carefully planned settling-in routines help children, especially the youngest, feel secure and develop positive attachments.
The curriculum, based on the EYFS framework, is thoughtfully tailored to different age groups and sparks curiosity, fosters independence, and nurtures a love for learning through a balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities. The nursery places a strong emphasis on communication and language development, with staff modelling language, sharing stories, and incorporating rhymes and songs into daily routines.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive tailored support, with staff working closely with families and other professionals to ensure all children make age-appropriate progress. The nursery also provides opportunities for physical development through indoor and outdoor play, allowing children to enhance their coordination skills.
Leaders and staff are committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where children feel valued and develop the confidence and skills needed for their ongoing learning journey.

Inclusion & environment
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those in receipt of additional funding, make age-appropriate progress throughout all areas of the curriculum. Staff working with children who receive additional funding, or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, have a clear understanding of their role in reducing barriers to children's care and learning. They work closely with a range of professionals to ensure that any additional support, guidance or specialist advice is identified promptly and implemented effectively.
Children enjoy a range of indoor and outdoor play activities that develop their physical coordination skills. For example, staff help toddlers learn where to place their feet on the steps as they make their way up to the slide.
Wonderful staff and facilities. The ladies in Busy Bees have been amazing at helping my little daughter settle in, and now she loves it there. A special shout out to Lily in the babies room & April in the toddler room. Both do a fantastic job!
