Cannot speak highly enough of Tunbridge Wells Busy Bees, all the staff are welcoming and friendly and are always smiley and chatty to me and my child, even the ones that dont work in his room. The communication is excellent and the app is kept up to date in real time so you can see how their day is going. The staff have been exceptional in facilitating initiatives to help my son and his needs, you can tell they really want the best for them and for each child to reach their full potential.
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback. We really do appreciate it
Our little boy has been at the nursery since last September, having only just moved to the area. With the help of Ben, Becca, and everyone in the pre-school room, he settled in very easily and very well, despite the upheaval of moving from the other side of London. We especially like the nice big room he's in, and the nice big outdoor area! They have helped nurture him and his interests, and are helping him to grow into a wonderful little boy. We couldn't be any happier, and we're so grateful to everyone at Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I'm really pleased that we have been able to support with the move and our preschool room in particular will love to read this
Since my little on has attended the nursery he has come on leps and bounds with the help from all the staff. I like the fact that they get a lot of outdoor play and do the same things indoors and outdoors.
Thank you for your positive words. We are looking forward to continuing our journey together
My son has been going to tunbridge wells busy bees since January and i couldn't recommend them enough! My son struggled with separation anxiety when he first started (and myself) and the staff made me feel really comfortable and confident in leaving him with them, they put in lots of effort in making him feel at home. The staff also really helped me with toilet training my son, they gave me lots of useful tips for home and really encouraged him when he was at the setting, he is now completely dry through the day!
Management have also been amazing! they are so friendly and approachable, they are happy to answer any question you have no matter how small and really do get to know each child individually. All the staff are so friendly and kind, you will always get greeted with a smile when visiting tunbridge wells busy bees!
Thank you for such lovely feedback. It means the world to us and the rest of the team.
My son struggled with a few things and within a matter of months those thing were addressed and managed so well and are no longer a concern.
The staff are friendly, helpful and informative and the app makes it easy to see what my son has eaten, when he's had his nappy changed and the activities he's been doing, including photos.
This is the second child of mine that have grown up with Busy Bees and although I have no intention of having more children, I would happily recommend others.
Thank you so much. We really do appreciate it. It has been wonderful seeing his confidence grow with us.
My child has thrived at this nursery. He looks forward to attending and his communication and socialising skills have greatly improved since starting. My eldest also attended the same nursery and we are grateful for all the support and care provided by the staff
Thank you for your kind words. We really do appreciate it and it is lovely to continue seeing your eldest as well
our child has been with busy bees for two years and in that time he has developed so much, built lovely friendships and been in great care. we as parents could not ask for more. its very hard to hand over your loved one into someone elses care so knowing busy bees staff look after our child so well is wonderful.
Thank you for your feedback. As I'm sure you already know this does mean so much to our team and we are looking forward to continuing through preschool
All the staff are amazing at what they do every day, and it really shows in the care and attention my child receives. From the moment we walked in for our first visit, we felt welcomed and reassured. The team are warm, professional, and genuinely invested in each child's happiness and development. Nothing feels rushed or routine - they take the time to know the children, understand their personalities, and tailor activities to keep them engaged.
Since starting here, my child is so happy and thriving. They come home full of stories, excited about what they've made, played, and learned that day. I've noticed real growth in their confidence, communication, and independence, and I know that's down to the nurturing environment the staff have created. Communication with parents is excellent too - regular updates, photos, and a genuine willingness to listen and adapt.
The setting itself is clean, safe, and full of thoughtfully planned activities.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really do appreciate it and we are excited to continue our journey together
my baby absolutly loves going to this nursery, comes home happy and smiley every day.
Helped Her develop with her gross motor skills and are looking at other ways to help her.
Thank you for the lovely review. We are looking forward to continuing our journey together
My daughter has been at the nursery for over four years now and she loves it there having progressed through all 3 age categories. She has an amazing connection with the staff, in particular her key workers and has lots of friends. The staff seem to genuinely care about the children and give lots of daily updates as well as regular observations about her progression. She learns alot, far more than I was expecting from a nursery, and comes home talking about their latest artist, project or book they are doing. She is always happy to go in to nursery and loves socialising there which is great for her as she can be shy and anxious about new people and places. It is great to see her so bubbly and confident there. We are going to greatly miss the nursery when she moves on to school soon. They have given her a great start in life and she is already very competent with letters, writing and numbers. Food seems good and varied. Cost is very good value for everything provided.
Thank you for your lovely review. It has been an absolute joy watching her grow from our baby room to a super confident preschooler. She will certainly be missed when she goes off to school
I absolutely recommend this nursery and I am so happy this is where we chose to send our precious little girl.
We look forward to seeing her continue her journey
Staff always friendly and saying "Hello" to the children on drop off and "Goodbye" on collection. General vibe there is really lovely and honest. Any issues we've had have been communicated and resolved swiftly. Communication is everything and they communicate well.
Thank you for the positive feedback. We hope that our communication improves even further with the roll out of our new app
We started on Busy Bees a year ago and our son has been extremely happy from the start. Staff have been great at accomodating our son's different medical issues and they are amazing with the kids. All the staff is very warm and polite, and they always greet us with a smile. Marc is learning and progressing and, as parents, we are told all details regarding his days at Busy Bees. We are so happy with the choice we made!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and we are also very happy with the choice that you made!
My child started in August a couple of hick ups which is to be expected and again they have had to get to know my child. I have found that the nursery have been fantastic with my child and I have felt they have been supportive and understanding with him. I feel I can ask a lot of questions where they are understanding. Nothing is ever too much for the nursery which is great
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. The team really do appreciate it and it has been a pleasure watching him start their journey with us.
Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells is a brilliant nursery. For us, it's local, friendly, and the staff really care about the kids. Our son (20 months) is very happy here. His room manager was integral to him settling in, and really helped us at the start when it was new for all of us. The staff have always been helpful and supportive of his development, and we've seen him learn new skills, improve in his speech and become super sociable since attending.
Thank you for the lovely words. It has been a pleasure watching your son not only settle in but also become very confident within the room. It won't be long until the next step and you move up to the next room :)
Good healthy meals.
All staff are lovely and very attentive.
Always kept up to date with what my child has done and eaten throughout the day.
I think everyone should consider sending their child here.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Our team will love reading this back in particular our chef seeing as the meals have had a mention
My child has been attending Busy Bees since 2023, and we've been having a great experience since their time in the baby room, toddler room, and now in pre-school. From our first visit to the nursery, seeing how organised the rooms are, and with a good amount of dedicated areas, paired with friendly and dedicated staff, and happy children, made us confident to enrol our child there. I find they offer a great range of activities for the children, and different types of food. They also organise special events, like a month in which they celebrated a different country every day, which gives the children the chance to learn about other cultures and food. Most importantly, as a working parent, these activities don't require parents to do any extra work or pay extra which on busy schedules and pressing budgets we appreciate a lot. I always receive thoughtful and detailed comments about all my child has done during the day, and how they were feeling/behaving. Can't recommend enough.
Thank you for the lovely review. Our team will be so happy to read these. I hope that the feedback you receive improves even further with our new app.
Our son been attending Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells Silverdale since begin of the year, he developed so much and is making us proud parents thanks to his room manager and his key person who made a really good bond with. We've seen an amazing change in our son since his been with her. Thank you so much
She loves the staff and they can't do enough for us to help the settling process.
She gets rather upset on the days she does not attend!
She has an allergy and I feel so comfortable about her having meals as they're all cooked on site by a chef who also knows us by name and the food always smells amazing when I pick up after lunch!
I couldn't recommend the nursery enough
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It has been a delight having her with us.
Charlie started nursery when I was expecting my daughter so he had a few changes, they were so lovely and supportive with him they have carried on supporting him since with potty training and bringing him out of his shell. When he started nursery he was very shy and clingy, now I can't get him to stop talking.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. It has been an absolute delight and it's certainly lovely having a chat with him everyday with his newfound confidence.

I started studying Childcare in 2008, and at the beginning of my course, I planned to be a primary school teacher. This wasn't until I did my Early Years placement that I realised that this was where my passion belonged. I completed my CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education in 2010 before joining the team where my placement had been. I took my first nursery manager role in 2017, where I completed a level 5 apprenticeship in Business and Management, and I joined Busy Bees in 2022. My passion for ensuring all children receive the best possible start to life is still burning bright, and this extends to my 2 children.
