Busy Bees Horsham

We are really pleased we chose Busy Bees. The staff are caring and friendly and they have a great outdoor space and soft play. The care is great as it is geared towards development but through play and we think the nursery has only added to her development. We also get photos and observations through so we can see what she's been up to.

Very happy with this nursery my daughter loves going and I feel it has very much helped her with confidence. All the staff are very welcoming and take on interest in the children and go out of their way to ensure you know what they have been up to each day. Good facilities and resources available.

The staff that look after the children are absolutely lovely, they seem to care. The environment is very stimulating there are lots of activities with plenty of educational merits, lots of fun games, going out in the garden etc. The food menu looks varied and very nice.

My son has attended Busy Bees for 2 years. He has developed from a shy little boy to a child who is confident enough to speak up and takes full part in all the activities. I drop him off each time happy that he will be well cared for by the staff. I really like that every member of greets my son by name when we meet them in the corridor. It's a lovely environment and we are very happy to have chosen this nursery.

My daughter is happy and confident, well cared for and progressing really well at Busy Bees Horsham. We get excellent feedback and she's always doing something new and exciting. It would be great if they could get off-site more regularly but they are always in the garden. Sometimes the admin side hasn't been perfect but the things that matter care, staff and engaging activities are great.

Staff are really friendly and my son loves all activities and garden play. I also like there are a lot of arts and crafts for children. My son loves his food and is happy with all freshly cooked meals and baking activities you plan for him. Thank you.

Busy Bees in Horsham is a warm and friendly place where I feel my son is always safe and has fun. The staff are kind, experienced and listen to any concerns. The food of a good quality and my son always enjoys seconds. I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone.

I have always found the nursery staff to be very warm and their commitment to providing a high standard of care is obvious. My toddler took a couple of months to settle in (as expected) and in the early days, I was very impressed by their confidence in reassuring both myself and my toddler when handing him over in the morning. The iConnect app is useful in tracking his intake, output and sleeping patterns whilst at the nursery. Photos are uploaded on at least a monthly basis too. My only reservation in recommending the nursery relates to one aspect of the nursery's fee policy - all bank holidays are fully chargeable and we, therefore, pay several hundred pounds over the year to apparently support basic operations of the nursery when it is closed. Not all nurseries maintain this type of policy so if we lived within walking distance (I don't drive) of a nursery of comparable quality, I would opt for that instead. Otherwise excellent.

Have only been at the nursery for a month but I think my son is enjoying it. Keyworkers are very pleased and they seem to do some magic on my sons eating experience. He is very fussy with his food at home but at the nursery, he's eating everything and also starting feeding himself, what seems impossible with him at home. Thank you, ladies, at Squirrels.

We will really miss Busy Bees when my daughter starts school this September.

We love the procedures the nursery follow and again feel our children are safe in their hands.

Our son started Busy Bees at six-months old and we continue to be very happy with the nursery. The staff are caring and supportive and the parent communication is great. As a working parent, it was so important for me to be able to receive updates- they use an app which is updated showing nappies, meals and sleep- so we are always kept informed. Our son has been in two rooms since starting and has loved both. The staff encourage his interests, he's learning important life and social skills and clearly knows what is right and wrong. We looked at lots of nurseries in Horsham and Busy Bees was our favourite by far- it makes work so much easier, knowing that our little boy is happy and being well cared for.

Very friendly nursery, professional with lots of focus around learning.

Our 8-month-old loves going daily and we have watched her progress well and advance for her age thanks to the nursery staff. She is fully weaned and given a great selection of food and when I asked for what she is eating to be added to the online daily app, they were happy to oblige.

Great to see her doing painting, messy play and interacting with other babies as well as the bonds she has already formed in 2 months, very reassuring.

When it was daddy's birthday, they happily helped our little girl make a card, made daddy's day when I brought her home.

So far cannot fault the staff or care our little one receives

A fantastic supportive and engaging nursery. My son has thrived in the environment and enjoys every minute of his time at busy bees.

My daughter has been attending the setting since she was 9months old and started with allergies and a really bad eczema which needed lots of care, the girls were really good with her and her allergies. She was a really shy child that needed lots of one to one time but now she is a confident little girl that will have a go at anything.

After removing my son from an inadequate nursery in Horsham, I was worried that my son wouldn't settle with only a year before school but the nursery was just fantastic! What a change I have seen, my son is confident and thriving in a fun and friendly setting. The staff made us feel very welcome and give a great handover everyday, regular parents evenings and events. Healthy meals which my son loves and a special class for those starting school. I will be sending my daughter here too!

My twins attend Busy Bees at Horsham and they thoroughly enjoy it. They entertain us with tales of what they've been doing on a day to day basis, whether they've been playing in the secure outdoor space, indoors in the beach room or drawing and painting. All of the team treat them as individuals and help them thrive - such a great environment :-)

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees at Horsham since she was 6 months old. I was very upset about leaving her at such a young age however she settled in quickly thanks to the wonderful team. I get excellent feedback about her day, artwork and photos, they are such a caring team full of energy, enthusiasm and creative ideas. My daughter is now 2.5 and everyone knows her name and greets her, even if she hasn't been in their class. She loves the nursery and has thrived there. She is confident, happy and has learnt so much. Each child is encouraged to learn and try new things; I feel the team genuinely care about her well-being. My daughter especially loves playing in the newly designed garden, going for walks, playing in soft play and in the 'Beach room'. The facilities are excellent, menu varied and they are flexible as well, compared to other nurseries. I cannot praise the team enough. My daughter spends so much time there they are like her second family and I know she is safe and well looked after in their care.

The nursery offers a why range of activities for the children from soft play to a beach room with real sand, water play and a good clean and safe outdoors for them to run around and have lots of fun.

Everyone is approachable and there is a real family feel between all the girls (ladies!). Nothing is too much hassle and they work closely with the parents nurturing each child - my twins have always been treated as individuals and provided with all the support they need as they've grown and moved up the classes - it'll be a sad day when they leave for school.
