At Montessori by Busy Bees in Putney, our beautiful, purpose-designed Montessori nursery in east Putney, we cultivate a child-first environment designed to encourage independent exploration, self-expression, and collaborative play.
Our mission is to nurture your little one’s creativity and independence, supporting them as they develop into confident learners, with a strong sense of self.
Whether they’re delving into the magic of books, teasing their brain with puzzles and games, or developing their creative skills, your little one will be free to explore what sparks their imagination, supported by expert staff.
And if your little one is the outdoors-y type, they’ll be right at home in our secure, custom-designed outdoor space, complete with tree house, sensory tables, and plenty of space to hone their physical development, all under the watchful eye of staff.
There’s even a private decking space, allowing children to flow freely between indoor and outdoor activities.
We’re always developing the Montessori standards at Busy Bees Putney, and we’re supported by our Montessori lead Lucia Quiroga, who promotes a deeper understanding of the Montessori method to our team.
Busy Bees Putney is overseen by centre director Lauren Fitzgerald, whose approach is informed by her fifteen years of experience in childcare.

We are so happy with the nursery! From day one, the staff have been so genuinely caring and attentive, the love and attention they give to each child convinced us that it was the right choice. Our son started just before his first birthday, and as you can imagine, it was a big milestone for us. The team were incredibly reassuring and supportive while he settled in, which made such a difference to me as a parent. His transition into the 1-2 room has been carefully planned and we were informed at all time about day to day activities and progress. He’s slowly turning into a little chatterbox, his personality starting to shine more and more every day. I truly believe the staff have had such a positive impact on his confidence and development. Jade was amazing while he was in the baby room, Lauren is always so positive and engaged with every single child, that it’s clear how much they genuinely care. The entire staff is just so kind and caring, and you get this nice feeling when you visit the nursery because at least one person will greet you with a smile. And I believe that speaks about the passion they put into the job. We feel so grateful to have found Montessori by Busy Bees Putney! Thank you all for supporting our family through such an important stage - it means more than we can say.

ViewI couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. My daughter started here at 18 months old, and from the moment she began, she has been cared for so wonderfully. Her transition into the 2–3 room was handled so well, and since being here she has become incredibly confident and chatty. She has learned so many important life skills that really help her day to day. She has made so many friends here, and we as parents get updated on everything throughout the day. The team conduct learning assessments at different stages on various topics so you can see how they are progressing. The teachers have been absolutely brilliant, and my daughter often talks about them at home in such a loving way. Lauren and Jade, who manage the nursery, are fantastic. Their care and love for every child is so visible, and they are always helpful and informative with any questions I’ve ever had. You can see the passion and attentiveness from each member of staff for the children. I’m so grateful to the whole team, not only for the amazing care they give my daughter, but also for helping me feel completely comfortable and reassured with her being in a nursery setting.

ViewMy son started here in September 2024 barely saying a few words, and now (July 2025) he doesn’t stop talking! I was worried about speech delay, but the staff have been incredible—so loving, supportive, and caring. The staff are truly incredible and so supportive throughout everything. They also made potty training (which I found really stressful) so much easier. Thanks to them, my son has become more confident and independent. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this nursery. We’re so thankful for everything they’ve done!

ViewWe love this nursery, the dedicated staff are so caring towards the little ones. Sending our young baby to nursery was a challenge, but they made us feel comfortable and supported us during this settling phase. Our little one loves it here, and we highly recommend it to any parent looking for a kind and positive environment for their child.
