Located in an idyllic area surrounded by parks and fields, Busy Bees Haslemere provides a warm and welcoming environment with an open and bright space for your child to thrive within.

The nursery is set up for children to enjoy every moment they spend there. From the well-equipped, age-dedicated areas to the spacious garden, there are endless opportunities for your little one to learn and develop when taking part in fun-filled activities prepared by the fantastic childcare team.

Family life is busy and the nursery has a great on-site car park, making drop-offs and pick-ups as easy as possible.

The dedicated team cherish the bonds they have with families and use the Parent Zone app to provide regular updates on what your little one is getting up to during their stay at nursery. The ParentZone app is a brilliant way to stay connected; it keeps track of everything your child has done during the day, from nappy changes to what they've eaten, as well as pictures or videos. Parents can access the app at any time and it a great tool for continued learning development at home.

Review from Gemma S (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Busy Bees has been an excellent nursery for both of my children. I have watched them grow and thrive physically and mentaly with the excellent support of the Busy Bees team. My son is now in the preschool and has found the support from the teacher to be excellent. He is learning, phonics, numbers and
his letters and comes home excited about what he has learnt. My son speaks very highly of his key worker and she has been brilliant in supporting him.
Both my son and daughter are very happy at nursery and they look forward to going each day. My daughter is a real 'Mummy's girl' and I was concerned that she would find nursery a struggle. However, she has become very attached to the room manager and early years educator, both who have been excellent with supporting her and making her feel comfortable within the nursery environment.


Thanks all, would highly recommend this nursery to others!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending this Nursery since he was 6 months old and he is soon to be 4 years old now.
I cannot praise Busy Bees at Haslemere enough. The Staff and Management are nothing short of amazing. I have always felt confident leaving my son here, as I know he is surrounded by knowledgeable
and caring people who make a real effort to develop genuine and nurturing relationships with all the children in attendance.
Their excellent communication means parents are always clued in and know instantly if any issues crop up during the day. The introduction of iConnect is also a lovely way of being part of a child's life at Nursery.
The way the Rooms are structured means children are brilliantly supported, entertained, educated and cared for while encouraged to reach new goals on their developmental journey.
The food is good, offering a healthy and balanced diet and security is excellent. I have always had the peace of mind that my child is somewhere safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at the nursery when she was just about to turn one and has been going 3 days a week for almost a year. She has loved going from the very beginning and really enjoys all of the different activities on offer. She loves being outside and the room that she's currently in facilitates
this daily. She always eats well and comes home happy and tired from a busy day. The staff within her room are fab and really know what makes her tick.

Review from MrsG (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at this nursery since he was 8 months old, he's now 3 years old. He's been very happy and settled here since the beginning. The nursery is a lovely setting, with great rooms for all ages, some rooms have direct access onto the garden - which is a great space and used a lot. Staff are
great, showing a genuine interest and care for the children, understanding their personalities, needs and what makes them tick. The recent addition of a qualified teacher to the pre-school room is fab. My 3 year old was delighted to tell me about the Letter of the Week!
IConnect has recently been introduced to the nursery - I love the Observation section. The nursery adds observations on a regular basis and parents add their own so nursery can build on to further develop activities the child will enjoy and benefit from. An onsite kitchen means as well as great food, the children are able to get involved in choosing food to go on the menu. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.784) out of 10 for Busy Bees Haslemere is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Busy Bees Haslemere is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.784 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Haslemere is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 88 number of registered child places is 17.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.284
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Centre Director

Hello, my name is Hayley, I have been working at Busy Bees Haslemere as Centre Director since June 2022 and I have enjoyed settling in and getting to know the children and their families, and of course my wonderful staffing team.


I have now been working in childcare for 15 years, have experience in many different roles and responsibilities in a variety of settings, and became a Manager 4 years ago in an independent setting before joining the Busy Bees team a few short months ago. I hold a Level 5, Foundation Degree in Early Years and a Level 3 qualification in Leadership and Management.


In my free time, I am often finding new adventures for me and my puppy Wilson to go on, dog biscuits in one hand for him and a hot coffee in the other for me!


I look forward to welcoming many new faces to our beautiful centre, so come take a look, and bring any questions you may have.
