    The nursery is very clean and spacious. Lovely wood furniture. Everything is brand new. Maybe would be nice to see more arts from the children and hang them on the wall to make the room more colourful. The staff are very polite, no problem with that. This is my 3rd child to attend the nursery in over 7 years.

    My three children have all attended the nursery, with two still going now, we’ve loved it – they’ve loved it. Highly recommend! Staff are lovely and very professional – and it’s very good value for money.

    My son is super happy at the nursery and has been learning a lot. He has been going there since he was 9 months and I have been super happy with the staff; I was worried during the onboarding but the staff was lovely and he quickly adapted. The new manager is very receptive to suggestions and makes it really easy to communicate by answering promptly to emails.

    We switched to Busy Bees Putney after lockdown and could not have been happier with how relaxed and welcoming the staff were. After the first inevitable tears, my son was skipping in and looking forward to seeing his favourite workers every day. In a short space of time, his counting had come on a lot and he had mastered shapes. He is so obviously happy there that it has been such a comfort in such uncertain and strange times.

    Both of my children have attended the nursery and although they have now moved onto school they both loved their time there. The staff are all friendly and attentive and take great care in welcoming the children into the nursery and ensuring that they are happy. The nursery itself is clean with great facilities to keep the children engaged and active. A lovely happy environment to send your children to.

    Lovely nursery.
    Newly refurbed about 18 months ago and they have lots of great new resources.
    Kind and friendly staff. There is a massive indoor space that is used for dance, music and exercise.
    I have had 3 kids here over the last 5 years and have had no complaints.

    Great nursery. We moved to Busy Bees when our daughter was 3-years old, and she settled right in. The staff running the 3+ room are exceptional and real professionals in childcare. There is a strong drive for tidying-up after playing – we found this very beneficial as you can replicate the same system at home! Our daughter has enjoyed her time at Busy Bees and has very fond memories of it.

    My two daughters both attended Busy Bees for 18 months before we had to move. They absolutely loved it. The staff were very warm and friendly and the girls made many friends. The Montessori learning approach was very effective and my eldest was very ready to progress to reception when she finished. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

    I had my two children at the nursery, and we loved it. The staff are fantastic. They both started when they were about 9 to 10 months, and we always trusted the nursery. We had no issue at all. We also recommended the nursery to a couple of parents who signed up.

    I have nothing but praise for Busy Bees Putney. My daughter (I have actually sent both by children here over the years) has absolutely loved her time there – from when she was 9 months to 4 years old. The staff are so genuinely caring and really foster a wonderful environment of both fun and learning. I would like to particularly recognise the pre-school staff for all that they do to prepare the kids for school.
    In addition, under the manager’s leadership, the team have done a fantastic job during the pandemic. They have been open and consistent with communication and really helped to ensure things have run as smoothly as they could.
    I am genuinely sad to be saying goodbye to this nursery but I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    We love sending our son to this nursery! Super communicative with diaries, emails and they can’t do enough for you on the phone. My son had a great time and the staff clearly knew his interest quickly and thoroughly. Great menus too! I was often jealous of his lunches haha. We chose this nursery because of the great reviews but it’s also much better value than some of the extremely expensive nurseries in the area. Beautiful space with lots of different toys. Thank you to everyone on the team.

    We absolutely recommend Montessori by Busy Bees Putney. Our son attended the nursery for one and a half years until we moved abroad and he looked forward to going to the nursery every day. We are so thankful that our son had such a happy introduction to a nursery setting and for all the one to one support he received relating to some of his difficulties. The staff were very supportive and kindly liaised with external therapists and provided invaluable feedback. We were also amazed by what our son learnt at the nursery. Most importantly, he was happy!

    We are so thankful to this nursery as both of our twins enjoyed it since the very first day.
    Their key workers, as well as the rest of the staff, were always amazing with them, helping them to settle and understanding their needs for their development.

    We just moved abroad, and they keep talking about their teachers, friends and remembering the songs they used to do during circle time.

    Thanks again for all your help and support! It has been an amazing and rewarding experience!

    We had a great experience with Busy Bees Wandsworth. Our son loved it from day 1. The staff are super lovely and very caring. They accommodated all of our requests, with no fuss. They were easy to communicate with, always responded promptly, and super organised with the app in letting us know what our son was up to.
    Our son was always happy to go in in the morning and seemed to be enjoying every day.
    It was very emotional for both us and the staff when we had to leave because of our house move. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

    Both my kids loved the time at the nursery. Carers are friendly and caring and make a real connection with each child. Always very understanding with personal circumstances and supportive. Dropping them off in the morning, leaving them with a smile, tells the story itself.
    I’m glad we came across Busy Bees and spent time there.

    My son loved the nursery. Every day was another exciting day to go back to the nursery with lots of smiles on his face. The members of staff are all lovely and friendly. My son will never forget each and every one of the carers. We are all glad that we sent our son to Busy Bees, it is such a fun place to be for my son.

    My daughter attended the Putney Busy Bees for 2 years and we had a great experience. She was lucky to have fantastic key workers and it was great to see her development progress in their care and the bond she had with them.

    The manager is great and was brilliant in supporting us with settling in after the first pandemic lockdown.

    Busy Bees Putney is friendly and welcoming with a calm positive atmosphere. The core staff group is excellent and provides my daughter with support and nurture for her development. Updates are given when requested, although it would be good if this info came to parents (in person or via the app) more frequently to highlight the work that the staff and children are doing.

    Such an excellent nursery where the staff is there to hear your concerns, give you advice and do whatever is needed to help you and the child thrive. My daughter is so happy there and she loves the great garden. Even on holidays, her favourite role-play game is to pretend that we are going to “Busy Bees” and I am her favourite teacher! Well done Busy Bees.

    This is a wonderful nursery: staff are really caring and professional, my son gets to do a really wide range of stimulating Montessori-related activities. The facilities are great – the rooms are really tidy and clean, the garden is spacious allowing for all sorts of fun outdoor activities which my son really enjoys. Pictures of my little one doing various activities are now sent on a regular basis via the app – which I really appreciate.
    I know my son is very well looked after and is happy there.
