Montessori Busy Bees North Chiswick was a truly wonderful experience for our family from start to finish. From the very first day, we felt that our child was in a warm, friendly, and caring environment – it genuinely felt like family. The daily variety of activities and learning topics encouraged children to think, explore, and grow in multiple ways, all through joyful and natural experiences. Each child was treated with respect, and there was genuine interest in their development and well-being. We were especially impressed by the excellent organisation. Communication via email was consistent, clear, and thoughtfully structured, always keeping us informed about the daily flow and the inspiring activities being carried out. A special place in our hearts belongs to the graduation party. It was a true celebration, filled with joy, emotion, dancing, and singing. It was evident that the teachers had poured love, care, and creativity into making it an unforgettable day. We all enjoyed it to the fullest – both children and parents! Montessori Busy Bees North Chiswick is a place that leaves a beautiful mark on the hearts of children and their families. We are deeply grateful!

Read on GoogleThe best nursery and the best staff! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of our precious ones 🥰 my oldest was assessed with ASD and his teacher’s especially his key worker Miss Zenia and Michaela and Shannon; and all the rest have gone above and beyond to help my child and work on his social and learning difficulties. For us the Montessori program was great and we couldn’t have asked for a better educational setting for our boys
Read on GoogleGood Nursery, it seems the previous management built up a bit of a bad reputation hence the low rating. HOWEVER let me tell you this nursery is kept to a high standard. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to give you good feedback on how your child is developing. They also have an interactive app that updates you throughout the day with your child's changing and feeding habits. Our child is having a great time so far!
Read on GoogleFirst I felt that the school was very safe with the friendly staff. Special thanks to supportive and understanding Miss Zenia and Miss Shannon who worked with me and the child on separation anxiety. I like that it’s an educational based facility with the small ratio of children and exposes your child to different aspects of learning through sensory and play. Teaching independence as well. The classrooms are clean and maintained during the day. Although I wish there was an indoor shoes policy in place. Playground is spacious and secured which is really nice. They even set up a splash pool for children attending during last summer's heatwave. Age groups are separated most day accross 2 floors in beautifully set up rooms (We miss Miss Kelly who worked on that with her team). All my questions or requests are always kindly answered. Good communication face to face and through using an app. Opened 51 weeks a year 8am - 6pm, accepts funded hours, often buy one get one free sessions. Food is provided, nutritious and delicious thanks to their new Chef. Highly recommended! Can not give 5 stars due to higher than I would expect staff rotation since we've joined. Saying that looks like under new director we are seeing less of that. Welcome on board Sagry!
