We have seen huge improvement in confidence, independence and speech which is so positive.
The staff are friendly and approachable, always knowledgeable on our child's day.
I would happily recommend the nursery to anyone in our area and feel very lucky to have a place here for our daughter.
We visited 6 different nurseries before choosing Busy Bee's.
Fantastic nursery with amazing staff.
A highly recommended nursery.
All the staff go out of their way to help and will always put themselves out to accommodate our needs.
Lovely setting, my son enjoys his time here. Makes working so much easier knowing he’s loved and learning in a safe place. He’s been there since he was 12 months now he’s nearly 3. Love all the extra activities they do. They had baby ducks this term which he loved. The long open hours are great for shift workers.
I cannot explain how grateful I am to all the staff here, my daughter settled so well and has continued to blossom. Thank you again.
He has made such a great connection with two members of staff, in particular. They are wonderful.
We will be sad to leave in September! Thank you is not enough.
1000000*****!
I am so happy that I chose Busy Bees for my son. It's such a beautiful nursery. I feel so welcome by the staff every time I come to drop my son off. I also feel like they have become like a second family. My son struggled extremely with me leaving him but within days of coming, I can't thank all the staff enough, it's by far the best nursery I've ever been to and I've had 4 children so I've been to many.
All the staff are so friendly and my daughter has bonded very quickly with them. The nursery building is purpose built and the facilities are great - big spacious rooms and free flow to a good-sized outdoor area. They also have their own cook onsite.
Five stars all around for Busy Bees Eastbourne. My little girl absolutely loves it there. The staff individually take time to bond with her so she is comfortable with a variety of people now. She has made huge progress with her development since being at Busy Bees and is so happy to go in each day she is there. Best decision I made! I will look forward to the rest of the time she has left at Busy Bees. They are very helpful around my changing work schedule and can, more often than not, accommodate last-minute day sessions, which is amazing! I will recommend it to anyone I know looking for a nursery in Eastbourne.
Amazing staff, very friendly and caring. All the team in my daughter's room are excellent at caring for my daughter. Would recommend it to family/friends. Three particular ladies were also fantastic with my other daughter, who was with them for a few years.
My eldest has just started preschool, having been at Busy Bees for two and a half years. She continues to thrive and loves the nursery. My youngest has also recently started, and I could not be happier with how she has settled in. Thank you to all the Busy Bees staff for your continuous hard work and support.
Busy Bees Nursery is a very happy place, my daughter loves spending time with her friends and the staff. There does seem to be a problem with the door at the end of the day. Other parents letting in other parents with no idea who they are collecting. The outside space/day activities could be improved. But overall very happy with the service I receive. Food is good, staff always helpful and I feel it is a safe environment for my daughter.
Overall, Busy Bees is the only nursery for me, that I feel comfortable for my children. I have been using this nursery for nearly 8 years and shall continue. They go above and beyond when it comes to my youngest child who suffered from speech delay. I have been lucky enough to go to two separate boroughs and they both have been amazing! They treated my youngest like he was going from home to home. They made him feel safe and wanted as he suffers with anxiety and separation.
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re glad you have given your little one's the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees

I'm very happy with the care service Busy Bees Eastbourne nursery have provided for my son, he has come on leaps and bounds and evolved so much since joining Busy Bees nursery, he is very content and happy and his peers adore him! He is learning and developing so well and I couldn't be a more happy and satisfied mummy with all the care and additional needs that have been successfully met at Busy Bees nursery. My son is thriving and building lovely relationships with his peers and nursery staff which is so wonderful to see, if there's been any problems Busy Bees resolves any issues very quickly and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. I give 5 stars to Busy Bees Nursery for an outstanding service which is well deserved personally

All the staff have been so friendly and wonderful but a special thanks to her key worker, for always providing detail of her day and taking such good care and helping her to settle. From the admin, managers, supervisors, room leads, nursery staff and the chef, I could not praise you more.
We absolutely love seeing updates on the app so please keep this up.
So glad we chose Busy Bees and would 100% recommend.

Hi, my name is Ashley and I have been a part of the Busy Bees family for many years now.
I have over 15 years experience working with children. I became the Manager at this Nursery in April 2019. I have my own little girl who is at school so I understand the difficulties working parents have and also how important links are between nursery and home.
I look forward to meeting and welcoming new families to our newly refurbished nursery in Eastbourne.
