Overall Experience

So far our experience has been amazing. Our daughter is in her first month so is going through the usual struggles of saying goodbye to her parents but everyone at the nursery has been so good with her. The staff are all very friendly and understanding.

Reply from Dan Wilson, Centre Director at Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells

Thank you for the positive feedback. It has been great watching her settle and grow in confidence within the room and I'm delighted the team have been so good with you all.

Overall Experience

The nursery has helped to bring our daughter on in all areas since she has been attending. It wasn't easy when she started as she hadn't had the greatest of starts due to being at home with mum due to COVID and working arrangements. The staff put in a great team effort with her and she now loves to attend with a smile on her face. Great updates every night and great staff. There's always a great buzz around the place. All we would like is a 7am start please.

Reply from Dan Wilson, Centre Director at Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It's been fantastic watching her gain her confidence within our setting and she is certainly one of the leaders in preschool now.

My child started in the baby room earlier this year and has come along so well since joining! Their key person is passionate and caring which is lovely to see and they have an amazing bond which makes me feel confident to leave my child at nursery knowing that they will be in safe hands.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I will make sure the key person reads your review as this will mean so much to them. We look forward to continuing our time together.

Overall Experience

Both my boys attend Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells and we couldn't be happier with their progress. They both enjoy their time there and all the staff know them by name. I know that they are well cared for and both adore their key workers. We know they're happy and safe and feel it's the perfect start to their learning journey. It's an amazing environment to watch them hit their development milestones and the staff listen to our opinions and seek our feedback which makes us feel included.

Reply from Dan Wilson, Centre Director at Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. It has been a pleasure and we are definitely excited to continue the journey together.

Overall Experience
The Busy Bees Tunbridge Wells team have gone above and beyond to ensure my little one settled well, we have recently moved from another nursery and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The variety of activities they have on offer keeps our little one always occupied.

Thank you to his key person for developing such a lovely bond and knowing him so well.

Wanted to say how great a fairly new member of staff in the preschool room is! My son has really connected with her and she gives very thorough feedback at pick-up times. My son talks about her a lot at home and all the fun things they do together.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was five months. In the five months she has been there she's been the happiest. She is now starting to walk and has built bonds with her key worker, which is lovely to see. I am looking forward to watching her grow further into the sassy diva that she already is.

Review from Jo M (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son joined Busy Bees in November 2018 when we moved to the area. He was there for less than a year as he started school in September 2019. In the short time we were there we were extremely happy with the level of care from all staff. So good were they that we had no issue whatsoever with settling in, not a tear was shed. The management team were also extremely supportive and helpful in every way, including guidance in relation to school choice submission. At the end of the nursery term when it came to saying goodbye to those preparing to start school the staff were genuinely proud of the children and sorry to see them go. It is a truly nurturing, safe and happy environment and I really cannot fault them. Complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was working. I cannot recommend them highly enough. In addition, the nursery was always immaculately kept and warm and cosy for the kids indoors in winter with outdoor time allotted daily.

Excellent nursery and pre-school. My daughter has really grown in confidence and social skills. She always has fun there and loves to tell me what she's been doing when I pick her up.

The staff are friendly and encouraging.

Overall Experience

Since her first day at Tunbridge Wells Nursery our daughter has loved it there. The wide range of activities balanced with the freedom the children are given to play is great, and we see the joy our daughter enjoys there every day when we collect her. She has developed great relationships with both children and staff (way beyond her key worker) and we see her growing and learning in leaps and bounds as the months fly by.

I'm very happy with this nursery. The team are all great with my child. They do a diverse range of activities. They are really responsive if you have special requests. My son loves it there. They're willing to give advice. It's a lovely environment and my son has individual, strong relationships with multiple members of the team, which is really lovely and reassuring to see.

Overall Experience
Our daughter's time at nursery is limited - one day a week. She always comes home having had a good time and we get a sense that she's been well looked after and well fed!
She talks about her friends and the activities and is always happy to get stuck in when we drop her off, sometimes barely getting a wave over one shoulder as we leave.

Thanks to everyone who works there!

My son attends nursery 3.5 days a week and has a great time. He usually is a little upset at drop off and the nursery staff always have the time to settle him and make sure he is happy. He loves playing in the garden and enjoys the friendships he has made.

Review from Kim C (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Busy Bees!

The large open plan, modern and bright room is full of fun and educational toys situated in different playing areas which is a great way for them to independently choose what they would like to do, from reading the many books to playing in the ‘home and kitchen area’.

My daughter is rather sensitive, so it took her a while to settle in - the nursery staff were very understanding and they welcomed and comforted her. Every day there are activities for the children, from playing in the sand, painting to singing and dancing.

Dan Wilson

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.
