I personally wouldn’t bother applying to Little Cubs. They make you pay a (non-refundable) fee to be added to their waiting list and then most likely won’t give you a place, even when you’ve applied 12+ months in advance. I know lots of parents who wanted to view the nursery but couldn’t until they were “invited to” by the nursery. Most other nurseries do not charge a fee to be added to the waiting list, allow you to view the nursery and normally guarantee you a place. Some of my friends have viewed nurseries in their borough which guarantees you a spot when you pay the fee, can’t comment on Busy as bees.

Seedlings Day Nursery and Blossom’s Montessori Day House are rated as Outstanding nurseries in the area.
