Our first child attended this nursery right up until he started school, and now our one year old goes here too, which really says it all about how much we trust and value this place.
The nursery is absolutely brilliant, with such warm, caring and reassuring staff who truly go above and beyond. They
create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy and supported.
Our baby absolutely loves it, not a single tear at drop-off, which speaks volumes. The food is fantastic, and the overall standard of care is exceptional.
We genuinely couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

The nursery are amazing and we can't fault them. They are always happy, smiley and welcoming. We are greeted with smiles every morning we go and we couldn't trust them more with our child.. Thank you to all the team.

We've used BusyBees in East Grinstead since 2021. And i would never consider sending my child to any other nursery!
From covid to post covid, BusyBees EG has been our second home and family. Exceptional management by Alex who always goes above and beyond for each individual child and parent. Incredibly
wonderful staff (shoutout to Elaine, who has been with us since my first was 8 months old, and to Helen who's the most nurturing and wonderful human ever!!).
My kids both love busybees and have had such a nurturing fun and safe environment to grow and develop. Plus the food there is the best!
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. As a parent i feel my children are in safe hands and that is what matters the most!

We absolutely love Busy Bees and couldn't be happier with our experience. Alex and the staff are incredibly kind, caring, and passionate about what they do, and it really shows in the way they look after the children. It's such a warm, welcoming environment where we know our daughter's feel safe and
supported.
Our kids are always excited to go in and have made some wonderful friends. The nursery provides such a fantastic mix of learning and play, with fun, engaging activities that help the children grow and develop. We've seen such an amazing boost in our daughter's confidence and happiness since they both started. We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent.

BusyBees East Grinstead is truly living up to its reputation as the best nursery in the area. I'm amazed at how many fun activities they come up with - the creativity is overflowing. They keep us updated with photos of our son every day he's in the nursery - it's incredibly reassuring to see his happy
face on photos.
Manager Alex has been incredibly competent and responsive, especially during the Great Drought of January 2026, putting SE Water management to shame. Alex and his team are always friendly, approachable and true to their word - something I never take for granted.
A special mention goes to Seobhshan and Lexi, who are such caring and attentive carers. It's clear they genuinely love what they do, and they've created such a warm and supportive environment for the children.
The quality of the food is fantastic - judging by how much my son eats at nursery! Most importantly, he is always happy, confident and excited to go in each day, which speaks volumes.

Our second daughter joined Busy Bees East Grinstead in September 2025, and we had no absolutely no hesitation sending her there after the fantastic experience my first daughter had there until moving on to primary school, where she hit the ground running.
The Centre Director and his team do a wonderful
job, and our daughter arrives at nursery each day happy, and excited to see her key worker. The team are caring and approachable, always taking the time to update us about her day and answering any questions we might have.
The facilities themselves are clean, spacious and well organised. I'd have no hesitation recommending the nursery to anyone.

My experience with Busy Bees East Grinstead has been nothing short of wonderful. My eldest 'graduated' September 25 and my youngest is still there, absolutely loving it. The staff are amazing, with a genuine interest and care for the children. I feel so confident and comfortable with the care they provide.
The food is excellent! The meals they provide are varied and nutritious and my kids have both tried many new things and enjoyed them. I honestly would recommend Busy Bees East Grinstead to anyone. I cant fault them. Staff, cleanliness, food, care. Very happy we chose them!

My son is attending Busybees in East Grinstead since October 2024. So far we only had good experiences with them. Everyone is very attentive and caring, his teachers helped him settle when he just started and I can be sure he is safe and happy there. I am especially fond of the updates on the app with
photos of the activities and reports on all important aspects of his day. Communication with teachers and management couldn't have been better. 5 stars overall.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees East Grinstead since late 2023 and I can truly say that, with their help, they have blossomed. We've had experience of almost all the 'rooms' and each has in their own way provided fantastic care and support to us and our smalls. The staff and management
are supportive, experienced and committed - you can tell that they really enjoy working with and developing the children they look after. Our two loved (and still love) their time at Busy Bees, and I'm staggered at what they learn each day. They have an absolute blast. A great nursery with wonderful people running it.

Overall our son seems very happy at the nursery. The group he's moved into helped improve his speech and he has made some new friends. The nursery are slowly helping us with potty training but we're aware it is difficult with a lot of children so think he is unlikely to be asked often if he needs a
wee.
We had a bit of disruption with staff changes and things seem to have settled a bit but we were seeing different staff everyday and each week. We have very little communication with his key worker which is a bit disappointing but others seem to know him well.
He loves being outside which they do everyday and often during they summer. He has enjoyed learning the nursery rhymes, singing them at home and has been practicing his counting.

Busy Bees Horsham has given both our children a brilliant start to their futures. As parents who both have to work full-time, experiencing the care and attention that our children are given at Busy Bees means the world to us. We know we have the right nursery when our 2-year-old runs into the room to
high-five the staff, then hugs me and pushes me out the door. Both our children have loved nursery and our eldest, who is now in school, really thrived thanks to the supportive provision, learning and personal environment the room teams create. The children are treated with great compassion, patience and genuine care. It's clear that the happiness and development of every child are prioritised.
The team and the staff at Busy Bees are second to none and go above and beyond to support the children and parents and I'm grateful for all they do to continue to make Busy Bees an amazing nursery for the children in their care.

My child has attended Busy Bees Horsham for more than two years and I can't recommend the nursery enough. The customer service is always fantastic, staff are very attentive to our needs as a family. The nursery has been a great support and my child's development and progression are a reflection of the
staff's fantastic practice. The learning opportunities are great and the communication is amazing. I am looking forward to the upcoming parents' evening in January.
Reply from Charlotte Hill-Upperton, Centre Director at Busy Bees HorshamThank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It's been such a pleasure to look after your son at the nursery.

My son has been a part of Busy Bees since he was 8 months old. From June until today he has grown from strength to strength attending nursery, the help and support that I have been given on the journey as well has been amazing. The team at Busy Bees in Horsham are wonderful and are like a little family.
Thank you so much, this journey for my son wouldn't have gone as smoothly if it wasn't for the carers and management team.

Our experience with Busy Bees has been nothing short of amazing.
Our children walk in happily every day. Mornings are filled with excitement rather than reluctance, which speaks volumes about the atmosphere they've cultivated. The engaging activities not only educate but also bring immense joy to our
kids.
The staff prioritise the safety and well-being of every child, creating an environment where parents can feel completely at ease.
The staff are also exceptionally supportive and caring. They take the time to understand each child's unique personality and needs, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence and their open communication with parents keeps us informed and involved.

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for nearly a year and we don't have a bad word to say about our experience so far. We are so happy with the love and care she has been shown since day one. The staff are amazing and really helped her to settle into nursery life quickly, providing regular updates and
communication making the transition much easier for us as well. Our daughter always has a big smile on her face at drop off and pick up and though she is a bit too young to tell us, she seems to enjoy all of the activities too. What more could we ask for?

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees, Haywards Heath! From the moment we first visited, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about each child's development and well-being. Both of my children attend, and I've seen tremendous growth in their social and academic skills since they
started. The teachers are incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, creating a nurturing environment that feels like an extension of home.
There is a wonderful balance of structured learning and creative play that keeps them engaged and excited to attend each day. I also appreciate the communication from the team-whether it's daily updates on their progress or special events and activities.
The nursery's facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained, with plenty of outdoor space for play. Knowing that my children are in such a caring, positive environment gives me peace of mind, and I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parents looking for a fantastic early learning experience.

Our little one joined Busy Bees at 5 months old and settled in instantly! The staff have been amazing, they love and care for him in a way that's evident in his big smiles when we drop him off. He does lots of sensory and interactive play, all which have enhanced his development.

Our son started at Busy Bees in April this year and after a lot of worrying from our side, our minds were instantly put at ease by the assistant centre director and the team. Our son loves going to nursery and always greets us at the end of the day with a big smile on his face. Not only do we feel he
is in safe hands but we know he is being cared for in a genuine and nurturing way.
Genuinely cannot fault the team at Busy Bees!

Incredible team in the baby rooms. My son has been there now almost a year and has come so far and so many signs point to nursery in regards to his amazing development. Very informative, both in person and on the app, and I really feel that his needs are being met.
