nurseries in Chislehurst/Bromley

[hjhendy]

Morning ladies,

Anyone had any experience of nurseries in Chislehurst/Bromley area? We'll need somewhere that's open 7.30-6 minimum but there are so many it's hard to know where to even start! Appreciate any views x

Hi, my daughter goes to Busy Bee's at Farringtons. I left it very late to find her a place so I'm probably not very helpful on other nursaries! I also saw the place at Ruxley garden centre which was Ofsted rated 'outstanding'. I wasn't so keen on the rooms for babies and toddlers as I was for the older children which seemed excellent. Rooms for the babies are small although very clean.
Busybees has been good, I'll be honest and say I wasn't so happy initially but I think that was part my expectations and part I should have raised my concerns. Stuck with it and I've been very happy, staff in her room are lovely (in fact I'll be sad when she moves rooms), food is brilliant and the manager seems both efficient and caring. I'm hoping the next phase/room is as good... Even though it's not as nice as Ruxley I got a better feeling at BBs, which goes against the Ofsted, lovely new building and toys etc. Definitely worth looking at both!
Ps I have met other mums who prefer Graces at Ruxley so it is just my opinion
