I was very disappointed with our experience at this nursery. Communication was poor, and the staff always seemed busy to properly address our concerns. I also didn’t find the front desk staffs particularly friendly.
The biggest concern was my child’s wellbeing. He cried every day at drop-off pick up and became anxious about going to nursery. And I understand , children cry at the beginning and gradually settles down. However, as a parent, I had this feeling that my child wasn’t happy and fell sick with high temperature on the second day of nursery.
Since moving to a different nursery, the difference has been incredible. He now happily goes in every morning, enjoys his day, and comes home smiling. This experience showed us how much a caring environment and good communication matter.
Every child is different, and this was simply my experience. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this nursery.

Unprompted review

We are very happy with our experience at Busy Bees Charlton. The staff are incredibly kind, responsive, and truly care about each child. They treat the children with love, respect, and dedication — as if they were their own.
I would especially like to mention Centre Director Funmi Abimbola. She is kind, understanding, and always supportive. In our situation, she helped us immensely and showed genuine empathy and care. It truly meant a lot to our family.
Overall, this nursery is a wonderful place, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

Good experience overall
The staff is very professional. They keep you informed about everything that happens on the day. But for me the best evidence that this nursery is a great place, it is that my little one is very happy there. I can see also how it helps to his development and how has helped him to socialise with other kids.
