My child has been attending Busy Bees at Fulham for a few months now and could not be happier with the nursery. As many kids she had some problems adjusting to attending the nursery and not being at home, however, after a few sessions this went away as she was having lots of fun during her stays. She
is now really happy when we arrive at the nursery and she rushes to the room to have breakfast with the other children. She has adjusted and developed very well. As parents we love this nursery for three main reasons. First, the staff, they care very well for the children and track their development periodically, they make their learning fun and are successful in establishing a routine and feeding them quality food (my child is a fussy eater but eats reasonably well at the nursery). Second, they have excellent planning and allow much needed flexibility for working parents, extra sessions are easily booked with a week's notice. Third, the outdoor area is big and they make ample use of it.

Busy Bee Fulham is a great nursery. My triplets love going there. They are well taken care of and do loads of exciting activities such as Spanish and French lessons, painting... they always come back happy from the nursery. They love the garden. This is by far the best nursery garden I have ever seen.
The team are nice and kind. Love to see also the pictures of my children during the day as they upload them on the app. I recommend the nursery.

Well organised and clean nursery. Staff are very good at communicating to parents on all sorts of issues. We had to move our daughter from another nursery and the staff were accommodating with my child - her nap times and other personal preferences.
They have fun activities throughout the week and
delicious meals cooked onsite.
We feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands.

Overall, we are happy with the nursery since our daughter started a few weeks ago (these are early impressions).
The staff: children ratio seems quite stretched, however, and I think the nursery staff are working on this. I have mentioned that there should be more focus on learning especially in pre-school
and I have been impressed with how the feedback has been taken on board. The management team is excellent and there is a wide range of activities for children (Mandarin, Spanish, tennis...) which is much better than many other nurseries out there. The playground is also huge.

57 Filmer Road have been a lovely nursery to send my children to. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. The rooms are bright and big and the garden is amazingly big for where it is.
My son and daughter settled very quickly and are happy to go to nursery. The staff take everything you say about
your child into account and follow the instructions from you in particular in the baby room with routines. The staff made the settling period easy and was done at a pace that was comfortable for my children.
Lastly, my children enjoy the extracurricular classes which are very fun but educational. There's a variety of classes the children can do daily without additional costs. My son's favourite would be ballet and tennis.

The nursery itself has beautiful furnishings and the equipment provided is suited specifically for each child’s age group. Both my children simply love this nursery,
I have such wonderful memories and still do. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

I really love this nursery. My daughter has been there for the last 12 months and is now 21 months old. She is a very happy girl, very advanced in speech (she also hit all milestones very early like walking at 12 months) and while I know all kids are different I do believe the nursery and staff helped
that. I can't believe that such a big nursery can provide such individual interest and care for so many children. In this way you get the benefit of great facilities, outdoor space, food etc. but it feels small and intimate.
My daughter loves all the staff, her key person is amazing (they do lovely things like making family books, uploading photos onto the new (brilliant I might add) online system so I can see her having fun with water play, painting etc. when I'm in work)) The manager is brilliant, she personally stepped in to help when my daughter was having issues napping. An impressive mix of business/managerial skills but amazing with kids too. Highly Recommend.

We have been very pleased with 57 Filmer Road. The rooms are large and bright, the outdoor space fantastic and the extra curriculum classes add a special touch.
Our key workers, from the baby room to the preschool room, have been wonderful and always shown our daughter love and attention.


In addition,

the manager is very has a warm welcoming smile every morning and has helped with any issue we might have. I would not hesitate to recommend 57 Filmer Road.

My child has been to three nurseries and I have to say this is the best by far. The staff are lovely, they can't do enough for you. While there are nurseries that offer larger rooms and more classes I feel I made the right decision as this nursery is focused on the happiness of the child and parent.
They have a coffee and breakfast station for parents, they have pasties once a week for the kids. They are always asking what they can do to improve their services. They are really reasonable for the service they offer. My child has come on leaps and bounds since being here and his speech has improved by at least 60%.
I have come from a nursery where he was having an incident (him being hurt) every other week. Huge outside space for an inner city nursery and they are always having deliveries of new toys and books for the children. They also always ask about religious holidays that are celebrated at home so they can celebrate them in nursery.

My daughter has been attending 57 Filmer Road nursery for the past two months. The staff at the nursery are extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and skilled at working with children. We are always greeted with lots of smiles and feel truly part of the nursery community after only a short time.
The space
is fantastic, especially the garden. There are lots of stimulating toys, books and activities in the room which seem to change often. The staff are nurturing the interests that my daughter expresses in certain activities. They have created a photo album about our family for her which is a really lovely personal touch. My daughter eats all of her meals at nursery (which sound delicious) and somehow they manage to get her to nap every day! I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

We are so pleased with Treetops nursery in Fulham. The outside space is probably the best nursery in the area.
My 2-year-old was quite a handful, delayed speech, prone to tantrums, fussy eating and antisocial behaviour - in short, I was worried about how he would settle into a nursery environment
or how soon until he was expelled.
Fortunately, his key worker has been excellent - always so patient and caring. He has become a different little boy in the last few months since going to nursery and loves going - he literally runs in in the morning and is much happier and easier going.

My child is happy to come and the staff care, but not much emphasis is put on learning or good manners. He used to come back singing all the time in his previous nursery and his language skills have stagnated.
This might be linked to a very stretched ratio carers/children and carers who are not fluent
in English.

The staff are exceptional and the school is so accommodating.
They support my boys with their healthy diet and both have learnt so much from their exposure to French, ballet and other activities.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.038)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.038) out of 10 for Busy Bees Fulham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Busy Bees Fulham is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.038 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Fulham is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 130 number of registered child places is 26. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.038

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Biljana

Biljana Dokmanovic

Job Title: Centre Director

Hello, my name is Biljana Dokmanovic and I am proud to become Centre Director for Busy Bees in Fulham. I have over 20 years of experience working in the nursery sector starting out as a nursery nurse and working my way up to becoming a Nursery Manager. I have two grown-up children and two very different experiences as a mum. Being a mum, I completely understand a parent’s point of view on how hard it can be to leave your children, but rest assured I have supported many families from their first day at nursery until they are ready to spread their wings and fly off to school. There is always a place in my heart for every child I have looked after!


I grew up in Bosnia and came to England 30 years ago. From an early stage in my life, I always knew that I was destined to work with children as I felt that I understood them individually and that each child is special. I had the chance to work in childcare for many years and tried my best to inspire young children and make a difference to help them accomplish their dreams.


As a Centre Director, I look forward to using my experience and my skills to inspire staff and parents in setting a good example and being a role model to all children. I am L3 qualified in Early Years Childcare and Education and have many relevant Childcare qualifications such as SEND, DSL, Management, First AID at work, Health and Wellbeing for children and staff and many more which helps me to provide best practice.


I enjoy going for long walks, visiting farms and generally being in nature. I also like to ride my bike and go swimming. I am well known for my storytelling and my love of art. Cooking is one of my favourites and all those skills I use in my work as children love them too.


I look forward to meeting new families and welcoming them to our wonderful nursery in Fulham.
