ViewWe are having such a happy time with our child attending Busy Bees in Thames Ditton. The nursery team really love the children who attend, and we know our son is safe & happy there. We really trust the classroom teachers to care for him; they all know him really well, and he loves them all too! We've been impressed with how crafts & activities have been adapted to include children of a range of ages & abilities, and he's developed rapidly since he started attending. Our experience has been that Catherine & her team have made every effort to support our family - both holistically & when we've had a family emergency. We couldn't be happier with this established local nursery, and it's clear that the whole team love the kids who attend.

ViewOur daughter has been attending Busy Bees full-time since January 2021 and will soon be transitioning to school in September. Our experience with Busy Bees Thames Ditton has been wonderful over the past few years. The staff members have been exceptional and our daughter has flourished in their care. There's a diverse range of activities each week and plenty of time spent outdoors in the garden. Busy Bees has played an instrumental role in preparation for reception.

ViewOur daughter will have been with Busy Bees in Thames Ditton for three years when she leaves for school in September. She has loved every minute and it?s testament to the staff that she regularly talks to us about her ?teachers?. She has changed key person a couple of times but formed a special bond with each one in turn and quickly too. She walks in with a smile on her face in the mornings and it?s often hard to drag her away in the afternoons. A good mix of play, learning and other optional classes, as well as plenty of time spent in the generous outdoor spaces. Would highly recommend to other parents.

ViewMy daughter is coming to the end of her time at Busy Bees after 3.5 years and I’ll be so sad when she leaves! The staff at Busy Bees TD deserve a special mention as they’ve been amazing at every stage and I really appreciate the level of care they’ve provided as well as coming up with activities to keep the kids entertained each day. The outside space is a nice feature and there are plenty of activities run by local groups who come in to teach the kids playball, Spanish etc. Overall, we’ve had a really good experience.
