We transferred our son from another local childcare provision which was not up to the par we would expect. Since joining Busy Bees in April 2025, our son has excelled, grown in confidence and ability at a fast rate. He no longer demands to not go to childcare, he asks to go which makes me as a mum feel
happy. We are updated on every day through the app and get to see snippets. The environment is nurturing and promotes natural curiosity to a child's interest. The staff are friendly, welcoming and approachable and go out of there way to accommodate a child's needs and requests including food at meal times (within reason) - fantastic . If you're considering this nursery ... Just do it. I can vouch you will not regret it.

Both of my children have been attending busy bees in Crowborough since they first opened nearly a year ago. Since then I have watched them both flourish and thrive due to the amazing atmosphere, education and care that the brilliant team provide for them. My youngest was only 8 months old when she first
started attending 3 days a week, but the amazing ladies instantly calmed my worries by giving such personalised and nurturing support to both of my little ones. I trust every staff member as I would do my own family. It is a beautiful nursery setting with excellent standards that is equipping my children with the skills they need for a great start in life. I am so pleased that we picked busy bees.

My son started at Busy Bees Lewes in Oct of 2025. Although he was a little nervous in his first few weeks, he always settled quickly and I left him in the care of the staff confident that he was going to be well looked after. My son now looks forward to going to nursery and asks most mornings if he
can go to nursery. He has made a lovely group of friends, he likes and talks happily about all of the members of staff and he has formed a lovely bond with his key worker whom always goes above and beyond for all of the children. They get up to a great variety of activities both indoor and outdoors. My son is absolutely thriving here at Busy Bees Lewes.

Our little boy loves going to busy bees and is always happy to go in, we love getting the photos of what he's been up to throughout the day & also knowing what he's eaten & what sleeps he's had. He always comes out happy & and knackered from always having a good day. We would 100% recommend busy bees

My son is super shy, takes him a while to become comfortable but here at busy bees he has come out of his shell so fast! He loves all staff. I was worried about his speech but since being in Bombos2, his speech has come so far already. Seeing him walk in, no comforters and waving goodbye to me is so

My son adores coming here every day, he runs in so excited! They do fabulous activities and learning every day, but also the garden is a big hit for most days which he loves. Also the staff are brilliant, all are so polite and kind, and really do care about your child, rather than it just being a job.

My little boy Romey loves this nursery he's been coming since he was 4 months old & in every room his has amazing care he loves his teachers. He struggled with his speech and after a little help from everyone involved he's came on leaps and bounds! I feel lucky my little boy is so well looked after
while I work. The outdoor space was the reason I opted for the nursery the garden space is fantastic! Thank you for being a huge part of my boys life xx

Staff are great. Always a positive atmosphere and my daughter always comes home happy. A variety of tasks/activities and games. Good updates through the various apps. Would recommend to any new parents. Only a slight improvement would be communication.

Our son has had such a happy, wonderful time at Busy Bees. Everyone is treated amazingly - like family, the staff here really do love the children. It's lovely to see.
Food is great and there is a nice healthy variation. We are so glad we chose Busy Bees - our son has been here for 3 years - will be
leaving for school next year and we will be so sad to leave. Thank you Busy Bees Eastbourne, you're team are exceptional!

A lovely nursery. Our daughter attends twice a week and seems to really enjoy herself and bonded very well with her key worker. We receive regular updates on the app which is reassuring and lovely to see what she's up to. Also miracle workers for getting her to nap!

In the end we didn't send our child to Busy Bees because the one around the corner from our new house opened up a spot , just as we were about to move from Wales to Sussex. But we did the entire admissions process with Busy Bees Crowborough, visited the nursery on three separate occasions and had several
conversations with Billie, Izzy and others.
They were brilliant, incredibly accomodating and supportive during a time when the uncertainties with the move made everything a bit tricky - particularly with concerns to make sure child care was resolved in the best possible way for our 2 year old son.
Even the nursery's reaction when we told them we would no longer be sending our son there was perfect - they just wished us the best of luck and were completely understanding that a nursery closer to home would be the best ourcome for our child and our whole family.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees Crowbourough to any parent.

My daughter started at Busy Bees in June. Having worked in nurseries myself, it was important for me to choose a setting that had the right resources, and a dedicated team that shared the love and passion for childcare.
All the staff are friendly and supportive. They update me on my daughter's progress
daily and they can even get her to nap which is a huge bonus!
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her food and nursery allows her the opportunity to try new nutritious meals throughout the day.
From her first settling session, to a month in, my daughter is ready to play as soon as she steps through the door. I couldn't have found a better nursery to offer her the care and attention that she needs.
It's a beautiful new setting too, in a perfect location and the resources are chosen perfectly for each room. I highly recommend Busy Bees Crowborough.

I am so pleased with my Son's experience since starting Busy Bees in Crowborough, his confidence has grown and he is thriving in this new enviroment. I feel that he is safe and well looked after and the staff are attentive and approachable, and are open to feedback, which is refreshing.
The Nursery
Manager is fantastic. She runs the nursery seamlessly, is fair and understanding and I am so pleased we made the move for his last year of pre school, I wish it had opened sooner so we could have benefitted earlier.
I hope that my Son's future teachers are as wonderful as the Busy Bees staff.

We first visited Busy Bees Crowborough in mid-April, our daughter started shortly after. We were shown around by the assistant centre director, whose passion & enthusiasm were absolutely infectious. From that moment, we knew this was the right place for our daughter. Three months on, everything that
impressed us initially still holds true-what you see is truly what you get.
The nursery itself is beautiful and filled with engaging toys and activities-some I'd never even seen before. The learning activities are so thoughtful and creative, even I wanted to join in. Since starting, our daughter has been so positively stimulated. As an independent and strong-willed child, I really appreciate how her personality is embraced & nurtured. She's guided and supported, not stifled, and encouraged to contribute positively to the nursery community.
Our daughter has truly thrived-from learning everyday tasks like putting on her own bag to engaging positively with both children and adults. Your team has been absolutely brilliant. Each & every member
