Welcome to Busy Bees

Your nursery in
Chiswick

You’ll find our Chiswick nursery on Marlborough Road, a quiet residential street in West London.

We’re a short distance from Gunnersbury London Overground service and have handy buggy storage where you can stash bulky pushchairs or strollers until the end of your child’s session.

Arriving by car? We’ve got limited car parking for swift and safe drop-offs and pick-ups. For additional peace of mind, we’ve got on-site CCTV and secure access to the building.

Looking for expert-led childcare in Chiswick? We’ve got you. At Busy Bees Chiswick, we’re dedicated to helping your little one discover their potential and nurturing their unique spark.

Our mission is to support your child’s development into a confident, independent learner, equipped with the skills they need to shine. We’ll monitor their progress and offer a little nudge whenever needed.

We welcome children from babies through to pre-school age, and our space is divided into several rooms based on age, meaning your little one can enjoy time with others at the same development stage.

Little one still napping? No problem. We’ve got clean and comfortable sleep rooms with super cosy cots; ideal for an afternoon snooze. We’ve even got a dedicated baby garden, perfect for safe outdoor fun.

If your little one needs a bit of extra care and attention, don’t worry - your fees include nappies, wipes, formula, and bottles.

We understand that parent life can be a whirlwind, which is why we offer breakfast, hot drinks, and home-baked goods for parents to take away, as well as homemade meals and takeaway packs for little ones – it’s all part of our Grab and Go service.

And to help your little one’s settling-in process, we’ve got a dedicated parent suite so you can stay on site and support your child as they find their feet.

Want to learn more about our Chiswick nursery and pre-school? Get in touch today to book a visit with our Centre Director, who’ll be happy to show you around and introduce you to the team.

Hello my name is Roxane and I am the Centre Director here at Busy Bees Chiswick.

I joined the Chiswick Nursery and Pre School Academy in April 2014. I have been working in the childcare industry for 27 years and hold childcare qualifications in Levels 3, 4 and 5. I am extremely passionate, determined and care deeply for the children attending the nursery. My vision is to continuously provide quality childcare and services for all children and their families. I am extremely proud of the wonderful and dedicated long standing team here who work with endless passion to enhance the environment and create a wonderful setting for every child that attends.

I look forward to welcoming you at our nursery and discussing your child's individual needs.

Ofsted

We're very happy with this nursery. Our child is well looked after and has learned a lot. They accommodate our needs and the staff is lovely.

Our little boy visited the nursery from 6mo until he was almost 2yo. He absolutely loved everything about the nursery, he made great friends there and loved the stuff. I can not thank enough all the educators who helped him learn, play, and develop. The staff is always caring and smiley. It is hard leaving the nursery and I am sure he will miss everyone a lot.

Curriculum and education

Giving your child the best start in life

Our Bee Curious curriculum is at the heart of everything we do, helping your child grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

Centred around your child's interests and pace, we combine purposeful play with a carefully designed curriculum that fosters curiosity and confidence. Bee Curious guides every moment in our nursery, from caring routines to planned activities, placing the unique child and their key person at the heart of learning. From encouraging independence at mealtimes, to supporting friendships in the playground, to celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm, our curriculum sparks a love of learning from the very beginning.

Using our 40 years of industry leading childcare experience, Bee Curious is a blueprint for playful learning. It is:

Developed by industry-leading experts and using over 40 years of global expertise

Based on the latest child behavioural science research and findings

Developed through collaboration with Busy Bees educators across the world

Led by Gill Jones MBE - Busy Bees Group Chief Quality Officer

Alongside structured learning, we encourage your child to express themselves freely and explore the world around them through creative and outdoor experiences that support every area of development. We do this by:

Using role play and storytelling to strengthen communication

Exploring art, music and movement

Learning outdoors in a safe, stimulating environment

Developing physical coordination and confidence

Our teams nurture your child's curiosity and confidence, preparing them not just for school, but for life. We do this by:

Early reading and writing through phonics, storytelling and mark-making activities

Strong number sense through counting, patterns and problem-solving

Hands-on, purposeful play to encourage critical thinking and curiosity.

Strengthening focus and listening skills with guided group learning sessions.

Understanding childcare funding and nursery fees can feel complicated. Our aim is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible, helping you to find the right options for your family.
