ViewMy oldest child has been at Busy Bees Mottingham for almost 3 years. My youngest has been attending for almost 2 years. In that time, they have developed fantastically. The staff are very caring and they have a good core team of staff that have been there for some time. I always get detailed feedback at the end of the day. I hear about the healthy meals they have eaten, they educational and fun activities they have done, and of course toilet info and nap info. They also have a good app relaying these details. I have been very impressed with Busy Bees. They are inclusive and have created a nice community, celebrating each others differences through things like Cultural Day and ' Country of the Month'. I thoroughly recommend them.

ViewMy Daughter has been attending this nursery since may but in such a small amount of time she has developed amazingly. I'm always so impressed with the thorough feedback and progress checks everytime I collect her. She knows every staff by name and so do I now. It's so lovely to be surrounded by such friendly yet professional individuals. I trust the staff will take the best care of my daughter and that feeling makes leaving her so much easier. I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed her up for this nursery but it really is the best, she comes home so happy and full of light. Really couldn't recommend this nursery more! Keep up the fantastic work guys, you are all contributing to raising the most wonderful children and you should be so proud! Love from a very grateful mummy!

ViewMy son's recent nursery teacher has shown an exceptional ability to connect and understand my child. He meticulously tracks my son's milestones, providing thoughtful insights and personalized attention that have greatly contributed to his development. Since he began teaching him, my son has shown remarkable positive growth, not only academically but also emotionally and socially. He has a unique gift for bringing out the best in children, fostering a supportive and stimulating environment where they can thrive. The nursery is always filled with positive energy, and my son eagerly looks forward to going to nursery each day because of him. He is an invaluable asset to the nursery. His dedication, passion, and genuine care for the children make him an outstanding educator. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity he pursues; any institution would be lucky to have him. The teachers at your nursery have all been amazing. Thank you soo much

ViewMy daughter has been at Busy Bees Mottingham since January 2023 and has absolutely thrived there. The staff are attentive, friendly, fun and full of enthusiasm for their jobs and the children's development. The nursery has a homely, comforting feel to it with so many activities, toys and displays for the children to do, play with and look at. It also has a huge garden that the kids spend a lot of time in, which is a big tick for me as my daughter loves running around outside. The menu is very nutritious and my daughter eats well. There is a lending library for the children to borrow books from, which we love, and a lending library for parents is currently in the works! All the staff work hard and are great, and the nursery manager has done a brilliant job since she's been in post at making the nursery a lovely environment for both children and parents. We can't recommend Busy Bees Mottingham highly enough - it has been a joy seeing our daughter so happy to run in every morning!

ViewAfter our eldest (who is now in school) attended Busy Bees Mottingham; we knew for sure we needed to look for no alternative nursery for our second child. Busy Bees Mottingham is managed by the manager who is a very organised, efficient and focused managed who thrives to run a high quality nursery. The staff in the baby are absolutely incredible & affectionate in looking after the babies and children with utmost care. They are always able to accommodate any short notice requests for childcare whenever possible. They have a beautiful large garden and a huge area for play for the children. We have known Busy Bees for approximately almost 3 years and we are grateful for the support they continue to provide towards our children. The saddest part was seeing some very liked staff members leave, regardless the manager always ensures the new recruitment of professionally qualified & nursery staff that have the safety & care of children at their priority. Thank you Busy Bees Mottingham!
