Overall Experience

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!

Review of
Busy Bees Crowborough
from Bruno N (Father of Child) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review of
Busy Bees Crowborough
from Olivia S (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review of
Busy Bees Crowborough
from Jodie R (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review of
Busy Bees Crowborough
from Paula S (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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

Busy Bees Lewes
from Valentine L (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

We joined Busy Bees in April 2023 from France; our two boys didn't speak much of English, the staff were very understanding of the situation and helped the boys settling in. As month went off our boys felt better and better thanks to the carers and we soon saw significant progresses in English. We are

very grateful to Busy Bees Lewes especially since the new manager of the centre joined the team; Thank you to all the staff in the Buzz and Bumble's room.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Lewes is great! Friendly and professional staff give the centre a real family atmosphere. The outside spaces are a real highlight and the newly refurbished interior provides a great environment. Both my kids have had a great time there, and Busy Bees set my eldest up so well to transition

to school. My youngest is also on course for the same. Thanks team - Keep up the good work!

from Jasmine S (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

So happy I chose Busy Bees. From the very first visit, all the staff made me feel welcomed and relaxed and that my daughter would be in safe hands!
Every member of staff I have interacted with has been nothing but amazing and always has the biggest smiles on their face ready for another day, helping

the children become their individual selves.
My daughter can be a bit shy at first if she doesn't know someone very well but all the staff adapt and encourage her to be able to feel comfortable that she is beaming at the end of the day and her true personality has come out within the day.
The staff will always make time to discuss anything you wish to discuss and support in any way they can! Highly recommend Busy Bees for the whole experience they offer.

from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We have been very lucky to be going to Busy Bees Hove since our daughter was 9 months old. She has moved through all the rooms and had an incredible time there.
The staff are incredibly caring and plan a wealth of experiences. They clearly understand each child and bespoke the learning to suit their

wants and needs.
Communication is fairly consistent with the app and monthly newsletters are sent out regularly.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Hove has been so wonderful for my son who started his journey at 9 months old. The dedication from staff has been second to none and the environment and activity set ups are so incredibly thought out, not to mention the huge outdoor space that they get to use daily, as well as the well-balanced,

healthy meals he gets every day. I felt instantly reassured from the day we stepped inside the nursery. My son is now 2 and is flourishing in all milestones and development. I can't thank you enough or put into words how amazing Hove is.
