    The team are incredible, patient and attentive. I was very cheerful with the settling-in process. The team were very understanding. My kid is very cheerful there. The activities that they do are so much enjoyable. He loves exploring and getting messy. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone. I could not have chosen a better childcare centre for my son to attend.

    The team are fantastic and the activities and trips they arrange are exceptional my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds! I can’t suggest them highly enough. I’m incredibly impressed and cheerful with Busy Bees and my daughter absolutely loves it.

    My daughter started with them from toddler age and attended the childcare centre for almost 3-years.
    Every day she was so cheerful with educators, activities, food and friends. Teachers take extremely great care of the kids.
    The management is really easy to contact for any compassionate of issues.
    Although we don’t have relatives in the area, we consistently felt as part of this big family! I highly recommended the manager and the team of the childcare centre.

    I was extremely anxious with her starting childcare centre and how she would adjust, but I can honestly say her transition has been nothing short of a miracle. From day one, she loved the childcare centre and adjusted well within the first week. The team were outstanding in supporting her, from her keyworker to the centre manager. And also managed my anxiety very well as a mum by giving regular updates via the app. I cannot fault the childcare centre in any way and would highly suggest it to others. My daughter comes home cheerful every day. My daughter is very shy in nature and very attached to me.

    She consistently had a excellent time, was consistently cheerful to go to the childcare centre in the morning and was cared for so well by her key people. She really developed into an open, cheerful kid over the time she has been in the childcare centre. I also wanted to thank the childcare centre for being so accomodating and supportive to us when we were needed flexibility in our childcare. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at the childcare centre for having taken care of my daughter over the past 2 years.

    The team are outstanding – nurturing, attentive and expert. The team have been consistent over the 3-years, and my son is currently in a lovely educational setting where he is discovering lots and is also developing lovely relationships with his peers. Last month our little girl started in the baby room (recently renovated!) and we were delighted that she had also had a seamless start – the team have been so supportive and sensitive during this time of transition. There is plenty of variation in the meals provided to each of the age groups. Even though there is no outdoor space at the childcare centre, the kids get lots of outdoor exercises, every day they make two trips to the adjacent park. I would suggest this outstanding childcare centre to any parent. We absolutely adore Montessori by Busy Bees at Fortune Green!
    My son has been attending full time for the last 3-years (since aged 10-months) and has progressed from the baby room to the toddler room and currently attends the preschool.

    Hygienic, creative, secure space. My kids absolutely adore it here. A lot of attention to detail. Wonderful outdoor space, activities, welcoming team and really fantastic educators and carers. My kids LOVE the team. The best. Wonderful, attentive childcare centre.

    My son started when he was 11 months old (now 19 months) and he’s very cheerful here. The team are fantastic and attentive and keep the kids entertained with lots of different activities, including daily trips (weather permitting) to nearby Fortune Green, French, Spanish, sports and singing. I have plenty of feedback as to my son’s day via the app and on collection. The menu offered is nicely varied. So very much recommended! This is a excellent childcare centre.

    Our two-year-old son started a year ago and I cannot suggest it enough. Our daughter who is now in school has also attended the childcare centre. The team is so attentive and they are truly an extension of our family. They really get to know each kid individually and they build a excellent rapport with parents so there is full trust. We could not have been happier.
    The centre director is also remarkable and she has made such an impact since she joined. The most nurturing place for the development of a kid.

    Her journey has been the most positive from day one. She gets to do a wide range of activities on a daily basis, interacts with other kids, and loves everyone in the baby room! My daughter loves going to daycare!

    From his very first day when I was encouraged to bring him in when I was worried his speech was delayed, as well as all through when the team has been so supportive in working with me to make sure his developmental and educational needs have been supported. He comes first at Busy Bees and his well-being is consistently first and foremost on the mind of the team at the Fortune Green Nursery and no detail is too small. It has been a fantastic journey all round. It’s a fantastic place for kids to start their pre school journey and parents can really drop off the kids and know that while they are there the kids are excellently cared for. My son has been at Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green since May 2021 and I could not be happier with the care, nurturing as well as educational assistance he has received.

    We have strict dietary requirements that are so well met. We also adore all the activities that are provided as well as the adore and care that is so evident in all the carers. We’ve seen our boys grow and thrive in the childcare centre and would highly suggest it to any family. We have sent both our boys to Montessori by Busy Bees at Fortune Green and are so cheerful with our decision.

    The team are very warm and expert, our kid is well looked after. They have clear procedures that in case of an accident, as much as a fall from a stool, they would let us know, they would encourage kids to correct their behaviour and apologise if they get physical with each other. They don’t have a garden but they make up for it by taking the kids out to Fortune Green Park, daily, where they playtime free or structured playtime, they observe the nature and learn. The childcare centre brings in extra educators such as PE, Music, Yoga teacher and our kid loves them too. The food is healthy and tasty, our kid eats well every time. The team uses an app to upload pictures and capture daily highlights, as well as document meals, this helps a lot as informational, also nice to see what my kid is doing during the day. Our kid is encouraged to develop life skills and emotional regulation which are very important to us. We are very cheerful with Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green.

    The team have been so lovely in helping him settle in and making sure he thrived. I could not be happier. My son has been at Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green since the summer of 2022 and I could not be happier with the care, nurturing as well as educational assistance he has received.

    My daughter has been there for a year (starting at the age of 11 months) and my second daughter will be starting later this year. The team are all so compassionate and attentive – my daughter adores them and goes into the childcare centre happily every morning. She has also developed in leaps and bounds and learns something new every day. The updates with the parents is excellent. 5 Stars. I would highly suggest Busy Bees Fortune Green as a very cheerful place to send your kid.

    This is the second of my kids to pass through the toddler- preschool room. Both of them have left well prepared for reception. I particularly like the way they foster independence in the kids; encouraging them to pour their own water, cut up fruit or serve themselves. Equally the range of daily activities is stimulating and enriching. They offer excellent additional activities like music with the signing teacher. Although the childcare centre does not have an attached outdoor area, they attend the park every day- which is a 2 minute walk away. Staff, across all the rooms, are approachable, welcoming and know the kids well. Additional activities are held frequently for parents to attend such as reading to the kids or Mother’s Day breakfast. All in all a lovely childcare centre that has given my kids a excellent start in life. Due to moving house, we sadly had to cut short my son’s final term at Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green but we have had a fantastic journey over the past 4-5 years here.

    My daughter attended this childcare centre since she was 13 months old. She started with the Practitioner who consistently impressed me with her way of approaching the babies and the older kids. She was like a second mom to my daughter and I am consistently grateful to both her and the other Assistant Practitioners. Amazing team, I trusted them with my daughter 100%. We have fond memories of this childcare centre and I consistently suggest it to other parents. Busy Bees for me because they keep great team and they are doing an incredible job with our little ones. Forever grateful. I would like to give 5 stars to Busy Bees.

    The energetic team organise excellent activities and encourage the kids’s growth in many ways. He also likes the guest visits to teach the kids languages, music and skills. The food is outstanding! Very welcoming and engaging setting for kids. Busy Bees Fortune Green has been wonderfully welcoming to our son from the start.

    The team were truly fantastic with him – nurturing, compassionate, attentive and enjoyable. In the year he attended, he developed lots of new skills, and they supported him becoming more independent. My son absolutely loved attending Busy Bees.

    They have forgotten a kid in the park (thankfully he was not harmed) and my kid came back home on multiple occasions with injuries that the team could not explain. They also have been extremely bad at handling the COVID crisis, charging people for undue amounts, and sending solicitors instead of communicating with parents on outstanding fees that were not clear at all. Do not even consider going there. Worst childcare centre in West Hampstead with a very incompetent management team.
