Are you looking for childcare in Mottingham, or a Bromley day nursery? Busy Bees could be the perfect option for you and your child. 

There is much to love about our Busy Bees Mottingham day nursery from the fantastic outdoor area, full of bikes, building blocks, and obstacle courses to the arts and crafts, role play or reading corners. 

The caring nursery team wants the very best for each and every child in our care, offering absolute support and attention throughout the day. You’ll never miss a moment either, with our fantastic Parent Zone app, your child’s key person will upload photos and log activities, ensuring you know what your little one is getting up to, and any key milestones they might be hitting!

Resources and activities are carefully planned out in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, ensuring that the children in our nursery setting are not only having fun, but are also prepared for the next stage of their education journey.
