This nursery has been incredible for my son Sonny. Over the past couple of years, he has grown into a confident, happy, and curious little boy, thanks to the caring and thoughtful environment the staff create. From day one, he settled in quickly, made wonderful friends, and always looks forward to...

by far one of the best settings to send your young children to give them a great start in life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. We wish your son all the best for his next adventure and hope he strives at big school :-)

Our children love Bunny Run and we have been so impressed with the care they receive there. There is such a family feel to the nursery - members of staff who don't directly teach our children still refer to them by name and always say hello. The communication - both verbal and written - is excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bunny Run to family and friends - in fact, we have!
Thank you so much. It is great to hear you have had such a positive experience and are recommending Bunny Run.
Bunny Run are amazing. As a team they are smashing it. My little girl loves going. She gets excited when we go through the gate. She has blossomed into an independent, strong-willed toddler. She comes home with some awesome hairstyles we are jealous of .

My little boy has just finished his first year at Bunny Run. He joined in September 2024 at 11 months and is now a thriving 20 month old! The staff have helped with his progression and development so much. From crawling, to walking, babbling, to saying his first words, being spoon fed puree, to independently using a fork. They've been there and supported us through every step. Whenever I've had concerns over my child's development, they've taken the time to listen to me and discuss any questions I have. Their knowledge of child development and milestone stages is brilliant and they are all very reassuring. He comes home so happy every day, always clean with a fresh nappy. I couldn't recommend Bunny Run any more, it is a brilliant nursery! Thank you to all staff :)
We are so pleased to read your positive review. Thank you for taking the time to submit it and we are very pleased to hear your son is enjoying his journey with us.
Wonderful nursery - lovely staff and brilliant facilities. We have been using the nursery since 2021 and both my children have loved it. The outside spaces and forest school are great for the kids and the meals provided by zebedees make like a lot easier - as well as the kids loving them.

Bunny Run is a wonderful nursery!

I am so pleased we decided to send our daughter to Bunny Run and I can't wait to see her continue to grow and develop over the next couple of years there!
Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased to hear your daughter is enjoying her time at Bunny Run so much.

Being a first time mum I was really nervous for my little one to start nursery. We'd struggled to find a nursery nearby in Uckfield due to lack of space or honestly them just not responding. A friend recommended bunnyrun, which is a 20 minute drive away so we decided to give it a try with the intention to move her nearer at a later date. My 17 month old has always been a mummy's girl and at the point of starting nursery, she was still breastfed. Bunny Run were so accommodating with this and made me feel so at ease. My daughter has now been at bunny run for 7 months and she's settled in so so well. She struggled at the start having been used to just being with me, but she's really blossomed since being there. She's so good around other children and it's even helped her communication come along with their use of sign language. She always eats all of her food they provide and the photo updates we get always make our day. We'll definitely be continuing to send her to bunny run!
We are so pleased to hear you are both happy with the service Bunny Run has provided. Thank you for sharing this with us.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Bunny Run! The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and truly care about each child. Our little one has blossomed in confidence, language, and social skills since starting here. The daily activities are creative and engaging, and the environment is...
Highly recommended to any parent looking for a nurturing and high-quality early education setting
We are so pleased to hear how happy your little one has been with us. Thank you for leaving us a great review.
My son has thrived since being at bunny run, he absolutely adores the staff there and they adore him too, such kind caring staff who take the time to get to know each little one and help teach them. The food they provide is so nutritious and filled with vitamins and nutrients they need to grow.

My daughter loves attending BunnyRun nursery. I was concious of sending her to nursery so young but all the staff were so supportive and understanding. Throughout my daughters time she has made so many postive interactions with all of her key workers and I feel they have all been very supportive in the different stages. My daughter has become more confident with adults and young children and has formed friendships at such a young age, which I believe BunnyRun has had a big part to play in this.
What wonderful feedback, we are so pleased to hear your positive comments. Thank you.

This is a nursery full of warmth, support, nurturing and learning. We have had two children attended Bunny Run, and both have had nothing but wonderful experiences. The staff are friendly and approachable, and clearly enjoy their work. My children spent so much time outside exploring nature, and learned so many new things. Would recommend to anyone!
Thank you for your kind words and review of the nursery.
Kind, caring and nurturing . Love this nursery! The nursery provides lots of different experiences. My child is really happy here, she loves the outdoor play especially, we would not want to use anywhere else

We cannot fault the care and learning...
The staff have always been great in listening to the needs of our children and ensuring they have the best care. They have learning themes in place but also allow for the learning to be led by the children too. The classrooms are always welcoming to the children. They have formed good relationships with the children as well as with the parents. A brilliant starting place for every child.
Thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review. We very much appreciate it and are pleased to hear such positive comments.

My child has attended Bunny Run from 10 months old and has had the most amazing time. They have been considerate, kind and always have an open door. As a nursery that promotes outdoor learning, there are always going to be accidents from children falling and playing. But the team have been amazing at communicating everything, making sure my child is ok mentally and physically. I couldn't rate it highly enough.
It is lovely to hear you have had such a positive experience with us. Thank you for leaving a review.
Schools Out at Bunny Run Child Care Centre Ltd is a fantastic, fun environment. My son enjoys the varied activities. The staff are friendly and caring. The play areas are large and well maintained. Plenty of space for the kids to be outdoors. Proper cooked meals which is a bonus too.

Bunny Run is an amazing early years setting. My son loves going to nursery in the mornings and has learnt so much since attending there. All of the staff are friendly and caring. Everyone is very approachable and have made us feel very welcome. The outdoor facilities at Bunny Run are great. My son loves being outside so it is great that he is able to spend so much time outdoors, no matter what the weather or season! Bunny Run celebrate every occasion, including personal events such as our little girl being born. I would recommend this setting highly. Thank you to everyone who works there!

I've worked in early years education since I was 17, and it's been more than just a career—it's a true passion. Supporting young children as they grow, learn, and thrive is incredibly rewarding, and I’m dedicated to creating nurturing environments where every child can flourish. As a parent of two young children myself, I understand how important those early experiences are, and I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to everything I do.

I've worked in childcare ever since leaving college, drawn to the joy and fulfilment that comes from supporting young children in their early development. After spending four years living in Turkey, I returned to the UK and was welcomed back to the same nursery I’d worked at before—proof of how much I value the team and the meaningful work we do. Now, as a parent myself, I bring a fresh perspective and even deeper empathy to my role. I find it incredibly rewarding to help nurture the next generation, both in my professional life and at home.
