About our Nursery

Busy Bees Twickenham Teddington, rated Good by Ofsted, accommodates 77 children in a boutique nursery located in a large, converted home within a residential area of Teddington. Our nursery is thoughtfully separated into four spacious rooms catering to babies, 1‑2‑year‑olds, toddlers, and preschoolers. Just an 8‑minute stroll from Teddington High Street, many of our parents live nearby and walk to the nursery, but we are also well‑positioned for those using public transport, with multiple bus routes serving Teddington High Street and Teddington Train Station only a 7‑minute walk away, offering South Central services into London Waterloo. We pride ourselves on providing top‑quality childcare, featuring nutritious meals with a 5‑star rating from the EHO and a recently refurbished garden that includes a large outdoor space and a separate safe area for babies. Our cozy baby room is equipped with an attached sleep room, and we have a total of four childcare rooms across two floors. Our long‑standing staff members bring up to 15 years of experience, ensuring quality care and support for every child. Additionally, we offer extracurricular activities such as sports and dance, and we regularly welcome visits from the police and fire department, as well as a pottery club that joins us for annual celebrations.
