Chiswick Nursery and Pre-School Academy

My daughter recently graduated from this nursery, having attended since 9 months old. I have always felt that the Baby room (up to 2yrs) here is particularly outstanding, but the Toddler and Academy rooms are excellent too. I chose the nursery because of the balance between creative, structured learning and outdoor activities and was quite often amazed by the effort and imagination that went into planning activities. The menu was also important to me, as the food offered is healthy, and embraces elements of different cuisines, beyond standard “toddler food”. By graduation, my daughter had secured places at all the top local private schools and I attribute that to the structured curriculum throughout her time at nursery, but also the level of effort that the staff put into her individual needs in the academy room: the level of literacy and numeracy she achieved gave her a very smooth transition to school, but she also left with strong friendships and have had many fun experiences!

Both my children have attended this Busy Bees from 10 months old to starting school, so I have been a happy customer since 2015. The senior staff have not changed, which is a reassurance to parents and a testament to the management. My youngest is now in the pre-school Academy which is a fantastic concept that links seamlessly to school with a timetable of mini-lessons and a uniform. She writes her name at just over 3 years old and is socially very capable which I attribute to the wonderful and happy learning environment. The children adore the snack pack takeaway, and the parents especially love their delicious grab and go breakfast treats. The flapjack and banana loaf are our firm favourites! Thank you, chef!

Our eldest has been at Chiswick Nursery and Pre-School Academy since 2018, and our youngest has recently started. All the rooms (Baby, Toddler and Pre-School Academy) are excellent and filled with warm, caring staff members, and our girls love their time at nursery. We received regular feedback on their progress, and senior staff are always happy to share their guidance and support.
We love the ParentZone app, the monthly newsletter outlining key activities for the month ahead, and the nutritional meals – both on-site and the take-home meals.
They have been excellent throughout the pandemic, and the measures they have implemented during this time have been reassuring as has the fact that there have been no Covid cases.
We have been delighted with both the care and the development of our children at this nursery.

We have two children at Chiswick Nursery and Pre-School Academy. My daughter is in the academy room and my son is in the baby room and we couldn’t be happier with both rooms. My daughter has formed a lovely bond with staff and with the other children in her class. Chiswick Nursery and Pre-School Academy setting is excellent in preparing the children for school, from wearing uniform to using book bags. The room staff, kitchen staff and managers are hard working, friendly and most importantly, really care for the children. My son is nearly one and has quickly settled into the baby room and nursery life. The meals are delicious! They have also dealt with the pandemic situation and restrictions excellently and we feel like it is has been a safe and nurturing environment throughout this difficult time. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Our kid loves going to Chiswick Nursery and Pre-School Academy (Busy Bees). She has been attending this nursery for almost 2 years now. We were already pleased with the nursery pre-Covid, but as the pandemic hit, their effort to do a great job has become even more evident. We are really pleased with them.

This is a fantastic nursery, who have welcomed us from the very beginning and helped us settle in. Our baby has bonded very well with the staff after only few sessions, and the app that they use to update your child’s progress throughout the day is brilliant. Excellent healthy, balanced meals as well, and even food for parents to take with them at drop-off! Private parking available on site as well, air con available for the hot summer months ahead, and a little secure garden for children to play in. The staff are so friendly and lovely, we feel very well supported as parents at this nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Our son joined Busy Bees Nursery full-time four months ago and the settling in process was seamless. The staff and his key worker have been brilliant. They provide all round care for both our son and us as parents, from the morning breakfast table for the parents to the evening dinner being provided for us to take home.
We get regular updates throughout the day to show his progress and lots of pictures to show the fun activities that they have planned every month. We couldn’t recommend Busy Bees more and will be looking to send our future children there.

Our 2 year old son loves his friends and carers at the nursery. Every morning, he runs and hugs his carer before having his breakfast. My wife and I never worry about our child at work because we know that he’s having the best time of his life there. Even if our native language is not English and we don’t speak English at home, we realize he learned counting numbers and a few other words and verbs in English. We’re pleased with his physical and mental progress. The only negative thing about the nursery is the prices, especially during this recent cost of living crisis.

Both my children attended the nursery from 3 months old and I have seen them flourish into great little personalities due to the care, love and support the staff members provide. My eldest has been attending the nursery for the past 4 years and my youngest for the last 2 years; they both love it and are always very happy when Monday comes around. It really is a home away from home. We trust the staff and the management explicitly and know that they always have the best interest of my children at heart. My eldest will be starting school this year and he can’t be better prepared. I can’t recommend the nursery enough!

Staff are kind. Management is efficient. Quick answer when asking something. My toddler is happy about going to nursery. Now he’s going to pre-school and is learning a lot of things such as numbers, letters and French.
Food is ok but could be a little better, for example, less pasta and more meat or fish.
