I enrolled my daughter in this nursery since she was 8 months and I need to give the best review possible.First and foremost, the staff at this nursery are exceptional (specially the manager Stacey and Miss Usma) They are not only highly qualified and experienced, but they also display genuine care and compassion towards the children. It's evident that they have a deep understanding of the early years and Montessori philosophy and are passionate about fostering a love for learning in each child. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts both children and parents at ease. The nursery curriculum is truly remarkable. It is tailored to suit each child's unique needs and abilities, allowing them to learn at their own pace. The emphasis on hands-on activities, independence, and exploration is truly commendable. My child has developed a strong sense of responsibility and a love for learning. The learning environment itself is beautifully organized and stimulating. The classrooms are filled with engaging materials that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The child-sized furniture and well-thought-out layout promote independence and encourage children to take ownership of their learning journey. Communication between the nursery and parents is outstanding throughout the iconnect app. The staff keeps parents well-informed about their child's progress, milestones, and any concerns that may arise. They encourage open dialogue and actively involve parents in their child's educational journey. This level of transparency and partnership is truly appreciated. Finally, the overall atmosphere of the nursery is calm, supportive, and inclusive. The values of respect, kindness, and acceptance are evident in every interaction. It's truly a joy to witness children from diverse backgrounds learning, playing, and growing together in such a harmonious environment. In conclusion, my experience at this busy bees nursery has been nothing short of outstanding. The dedicated staff, well-designed curriculum, stimulating learning environment, effective communication, and inclusive

ViewMy son loves this nursery and he is very happy with the teachers. Everyone is really nice and supportive. My son has shown improvement in some areas since he joined the baby room, such as using a spoon properly and organize his toys after he finishes playing.

ViewIt's been 3 months since our little girl started the nursery. She is in the baby's room and she is very happy to go now. As a mother, I could not have chosen better than Busy Bees , the staff is really good, the kids do a lot of different activities that stimulate their curiosity and confidence. The first days , even weeks are always difficult and stressful for parents, the separation with baby, the guilt etc... Thanks to the kindness and professionalism of the staff, these period hasn't last long and I now can see how much my little girl loves being at the nursery. Not to forget that she eats really well there. Again, thanks to all the staff, you are great!
