I highly recommend Busy Bee. The teachers are exceptionally friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. My son has been attending since 2024 and continues to enjoy his time there. He has built a strong bond with his teachers and thrives in the engaging environment with the other kids.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since she was twelve months old, and she is now three years old and she loves it! She has grown so much supported by all the amazing team. She enjoys nursery and is always coming home happy, always talking about the new things she has done and all the friends she plays with, food is also excellent. We are so happy and we think as parents that this is really an exceptional nursery. Thank you Busy Bees Sutton! :)

I have two girls at Busy Bees in Sutton and they have both loved their time there. The staff are wonderful, so caring and engaged. They do fantastic activities with the children all of the time and we love getting the photos of these. We have been particularly impressed with Claire in the pre-school class. She has done really great work with getting our daughter ready for school in September and we feel really confident that our daughter will be well placed to make the transition when the time comes.

My son has been at Busy Bees since he turned one He has always been a happy, social little boy and being at nursery has just built on this side of his character. He has really bonded with key workers and always seems very excited when he arrives in the mornings. They seem to really understand him and give their attention to the fullest and report back very often on his progress. Being a first time mum I was initially nervous about leaving my child at such a young age. However I am very happy with the nursery itself and the staff. And my son is all the more happier for it. Thank you for providing a happy and caring environment for my son to thrive in.
