Busy Bees at West Byfleet, where ‘children walk through the door each morning with complete confidence and happiness’ has been praised by Ofsted in its latest inspection. 

Achieving a ‘Expected Standard’ across all categories, the nursery team was commended for its ‘positive and secure attachments’ between children and their key person, helping them to feel secure in a ‘calm and harmonious’ environment.  

Located on Parvis Road, the nursery team were recognised for creating a ‘welcoming’ setting for all children. The baby environments are calm, helping children to feel secure, with sleeping and feeding routines that support babies’ individual needs. While the older children become ‘confident communicators as they engage in discussions with adults’ and are supported for their transition to school.

The nursery is led by Kelly Fuller who brings more than a decade of experience, supported by a longstanding team with over 140 years of experience, providing exceptional care and education for families in the local community.  

Kelly Fuller, Centre Director at Busy Bees West Byfleet, said: “We are over the moon to achieve a fantastic Ofsted result and one that truly reflects our commitment to ensuring children come to nursery feeling happy, safe and cared for. 

“We are also incredibly thankful to our families for placing their trust in us. The strong relationships we have built with our families are such an important part of our nursery community, and we are proud to work in partnership with them to give every child the best start in life.”

Inspectors applauded the nursery’s strong partnership with parents who comment ‘positively on the care and learning provided by the staff’. Families commented that they feel that their ‘children's language and vocabulary have improved greatly, and comment that their children love talking about the adults who care for them, showing how important they are to them’.

A parent whose son attends the nursery, said: “My son is 3 years old and has been attending Busy Bees West Byfleet since he was 10 months old. From the first look around the nursery, I felt I was around people who had such a passion for helping parents and happy children. 
“My little boy is so excited to see his friends and teachers every day. The most important thing for me as a parent is being able to be open and honest with his key workers. They have helped me immensely with raising my son and would happily recommend this nursery to anyone.”
The nursery’s curriculum was given a special mention and was described as a ‘carefully sequenced curriculum’ that builds children’s knowledge and skills over time, with Ofsted noting that ‘children are well supported to develop the personal and social skills needed to play, learn cooperatively and build friendships’.
