The Magic Tower nursery is one of Hampshire’s best-loved day nurseries situated less than 10 minutes drive from Andover. We are delighted to welcome this outstanding Andover nursery, to be known as Busy Bees Andover, to our ever-growing Busy Bees family. 

Located in Weyhill, the nursery is based in a beautifully restored former Victorian primary school and has easy access to both Andover and the surrounding villages. Boasting two bright and airy classrooms, our nursery is well-equipped with fun and stimulating resources offering plenty of opportunities for the children to develop both mentally and physically.  

Fun does not stop indoors at our day nursery in Andover; children can enjoy the great outdoors at the securely fenced all-weather play areas and shaded lawns which offer a high-quality outdoor learning environment.  Nurturing a sense of wonder and discovery, the afternoon Forest School sessions on offer are thoroughly enjoyed by our children. 

We take pride in our long-standing and qualified Early Years educators who would love to meet you and your family and show you around our Montessori inspired nursery in Andover. 

Note that this nursery only operates during term time.

Please note we are currently updating this page with all the facilities, fees and nursery information and the convenience of booking a visit online that we know our parents and carers need when finding the best nurseries for their children.  

In the meantime, we invite you to call the nursery directly on 01264 771155 to arrange a personal tour.
