What
Chislehurst
parents say

My son has loved his 3 years at this nursery. The staff are kind, caring and professional. I particularly appreciate the balance the nursery strikes between discipline and nurturing.

Both of my children with the difference of 10 years used to go to this lovely and caring nursery. During many years it has been a second home for us. It went through worse and better times but nevertheless I can confidently say that they were filled with happiness. The building is spacious and has many good facilities with a lovely small garden and paddling pool in a hot weather. The staff is caring and kind giving children a very needed comfort and love, cuddles and support while being away from mammy and daddy. The food is homemade and tasty giving children the opportunity to try new dishes and varieties, also I can't underestimate coffee and breakfast for parents on the go. The current management team is doing their best for parents and children, they are growing professionally and are going in the right direction in my humble opinion. I am very happy to see so many positive changes. I wish them all the best! Thank you very much for your hard work! We will always remember the time with you as one of the happiest in the life of our children!

Suki is so well cared for by her teachers, Shelley, Melissa, Elaine and Emma (and everyone else!) Lily and Jo in the office are super responsive and helpful, and despite the huge pressures the childcare sector is under, Busy Bees Chislehurst always goes above and beyond. Suki loves nursery and I have them to thank for turning her into a sociable and happy little girl.
