We are so lucky to have found this nursery! Our daughter (2.5) adores the staff and has really blossomed here. The manager and all the staff are caring, friendly and patient. The atmosphere is always very homey and welcoming, with 3 classrooms and a lending library. The children are given varied activities each day and spend a lot of time outside (v.important to us), including trips to a local nature garden. The food always looks and smells great. We can't recommend it highly enough!

We have had a brilliant experience with Busy Bees Wandsworth. We were really nervous about settling our 1-year-old but the staff were so supportive and helpful in getting her used to nursery life. My daughter is already so happy at nursery, very relaxed at drop off and happy at pick up, and clearly enjoys her days so much. The staff are all excellent at what they do and are so friendly and helpful to us too.

I can only thank everyone who works at this nursery from the bottom of my heart. 7 teachers in particular you are all wonderful. Since day 1 I did not doubt that I could trust you all to look after my daughter. This intimate setting is perfect. The activities organised during the day are fantastic to support my daughter in her development. It's been amazing to see her flourish since she started at nursery. They somehow work their magic to get my daughter napping and frequent and appropriate nappy changes and she is always well kept and clean on pick up (and always smiling on pick up). Updates on the app are consistent and very sweet. Thank you!

I have sent my son to a few other places in the area before settling with Busy Bees and I've got to say this is the place that makes me feel most assured. The management team is professional and involves closely in taking care of the students. The room teachers are confident, knowledgeable and loving towards the children. My baby makes friends with many kids from around the world and my husband and I form great relationships with their parents. The teachers organise fantastic events all year round to promote family relationships, environment, sports and culture/religion diversity and that, aside from teaching the children about different aspects of life, creates strong bonds amongst families. My son learnt to be independent and compassionate as well as is nurtured the love of reading. Can't recommend enough!

A wonderful place where my son is growing and learning, he feels constantly the love, care and attention of all staff (I have to say thank you to four members of staff in particular and all the Misses and the fantastic Chef). They are so precise and attentive to my son. I couldn't have hoped for better

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees since April 2024. The staff is so warm, welcoming, and caring. She's always happy to go and happy at the end of the day, and the activities are varied and engaging. I love the fact that I've never felt that she's solely under the care of his key person, the staff really do work as a team and it makes a huge difference. The manager is brilliant, and the nursery has been extremely supportive and accommodating to our family needs. I genuinely can't recommend this setting highly enough. They are all wonderful but one staff member in particular needs a special thanks, she is absolutely amazing.

Our eldest has been through Busy Bees and our youngest is about to move to Busy Bees eldest class. We are thrilled with this nursery! The staff really cares about our children and gives them brilliant input. Good communication and sensible leaders. Thank you!

The nursery is a nice space for my child to go to see the staff who have been caring for her since her first week. They make her feel welcome and cook lovely homemade food. Everyone has been really helpful friendly and professional. They update with her progress on the app and send photos which are really nice to see during the day. The ethos to allow the children free flow of playing inside and outside to be independent and put on their own jackets and shoes/wellies is great. One day a week they visit the garden which adds to education outside and planting and playing in the mud. I would recommend.

I have been really worried prior to starting the nursery, and I am so happy that we started this journey at Montessori Busy Bees. Everyone was so supportive, extremely professional and very attentive to both me and my daughter. She quickly adapted to her classroom and made friends with all of the lovely staff and kids. We get regular updates on what she is doing on a daily basis, and so far, all activities have been very interesting, variable, thematic and season-appropriate. My daughter runs into the nursery without hesitation every morning, and the way I see her behave there is exactly the same as at home, which means she feels that this nursery is like her home. The food is delicious and freshly made every day. We have frequent various parent events, and it does feel like a family. I am so happy to see my daughter thrive and enjoy every moment of her time there.

The most amazing nursery - simple as that! My son has attended the nursery since the age of 1 and now at nearly 4, he is the happiest, most confident little boy and a lot of that has to do with the love, dedication and care shown to him by his carers. There is a real family feel at the nursery and the teachers truly care and love for the children. My son loves being outdoors and with a huge outdoor space to enjoy, he couldn’t ask for anything more. The chef's pizza is a hit! If you are considering putting your child in nursery, I couldn’t recommend this nursery more.

I can’t express enough how amazing this nursery is, the teachers, the chefs down to the parents everyone is so helpful and loving. Extremely clean, dedicated staff willing to go above and beyond to support when needed. My child has been going here since she was 2 years old and during those times being a single mother and having the support that I received from them and now is more than I can say. My child started unable to speak clearly and by the age of 3 could read, her writing has improved because of the care, patience and time they’ve given her. My second family. Mr Tommy’s pizza is her all time fav meal!

Just want to say all the staff are amazing! My Son has been attending this nursery since the age of 1.5 years old and has been loving it since. Special shout out to the assistant centre director who is always smiling and caring, she is the star of the nursery. Do not lose her please. Promote her instead. Keep up the good work.

Montessori by Busy Bees Wandsworth is a very good nursery. All of the staff are very nice and knowledgeable. They are very good at communicating and understanding every child to help them get better and better.

Fantastic childcare from Montessori by Busy Bees Wandsworth. Great team, decent facilities, excellent environment for the children. Good mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Flexible and accommodating with requests for individual children (for example to provide for one of our girls, who has a hearing disability). Very attentive to the individual child. Ambitious yet supportive for their development. Diligent in monitoring their progress. All round passionate about their work and a great service. Thank you Busy Bees Wandsworth Team!

My baby joined the nursery back in January when he was one year old. I feel my baby is safe and well looked after and that’s a lot to say for a mum. He now walks in happily every morning. Amazing staff and good facilities.

Our son has been attending this nursery for 2 years now. It was such an easy decision for us as when we first took him to see it, unlike other places we went to visit, he straight away made himself at home and started playing and exploring. We haven’t looked back since! It’s still his favourite place with its fully equipped facilities, big outdoor area, regular trips to the nature garden, varying learning activities, wonderful application of Montessori principles, delicious food which allowed our son to be a very experimental eater. But most importantly, it’s the staff! So much care, so much genuine fondness and interest that we can see them having towards our son and all the children that attend is so moving to witness on a daily basis. We’ll sadly be moving on to primary at the end of summer and everything about this place will be sorely missed!

Busy Bees Wandsworth has exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication between the nursery and parents is excellent. The teachers provide regular updates on my child's progress and they are always available for parent-teacher conferences and discussions. The Montessori approach, dedicated teachers, inclusive atmosphere and strong communication and focus on nature-based learning have provided my child with an excellent foundation for lifelong learning. I feel confident that my child is receiving the best possible care and education and I highly recommend them to any parent seeking an exceptional Montessori education for their child.

Lovely and caring staff, very good location, the facilities and outside space are really nice and clean and the food is great. Our daughter loves attending the nursery and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!
06 April 2023
My child has benefited immensely from attending this Montessori. I have also been very impressed by a particular teacher. This lady has gone above and beyond ensuring my child is cared for and supported. I see her as exceptionally caring to all the children in her class and am very grateful to send my child to a place with employees like her. I was very apprehensive about bringing my son to this nursery as he started at 6 months before walking and talking, however, I am very impressed at the developmental progress he has made from attending here he has become very advanced for his age and loves going to nursery.

Our daughter started at the Montessori by Busy Bees Wandsworth nursery in January 2022 when she was two and has been extremely happy there. With caring, friendly staff, our daughter has thrived in a nurturing environment that has helped build her confidence. She has required additional support with her speech and language development and the nursery has been proactive in helping us access the right professional support and complementing that with the activities they do with her in the nursery setting. Our daughter is particularly fond of her primary carer, who is excellent. The nursery provides lots of opportunities to engage parents (e.g Mother's and Father's Day Breakfasts, reading for World Book Day etc) and provides regular detailed feedback. Our daughter loves the weekly trips to the Oasis Nature Garden and the variety of activities, such as baking, music and arts and crafts. All of this has culminated in a very well-deserved Ofsted Outstanding rating last year!
