Busy Bees Nurseries Reviews 

This nursery is a SEN parent's dream! My autistic son attends and I'm incredibly grateful for the care he receives. He has severe autism and is non-verbal but the staff go above and beyond to understand and support his SEN needs. They are extremely patient with him, very supportive and understanding, and always treat him with kindness. I notice from his behaviour that he is well cared for as he always hugs his key workers, and he laughs excitedly when I pull into the car park.

His key workers have put so much effort into understanding him as an individual, including learning how he prefers to be fed and how he likes things done so he feels comfortable and secure.

When he began having breathing problems, the team completed asthma training so they could support him safely. It's heartwarming to know he is somewhere the staff genuinely care about him.

He's always happy and having fun in his nursery photos. I'm grateful beyond words for the professionalism and dedication of the staff!

My little one is well taken care of, all the nursery workers and staff have managed to create a warm and welcoming environment for my baby. The app is great for every day communication and updates on LO's progress. The rooms are clean and the garden is perfect during the warmer months. We're very happy with our choice of nursery.

This was my sons first nursery, and it was a great start of his school life, the staff were so lovely. All of them seemed to really care for our son. We were heartbroken to move him to the distance from our house.

Friendly and amazing team! My little one love that place. Really recommend!

The staff at Busy Bees have been fantastic in helping our son settle in. They work really well as a team, and we’ve always felt that he is cared for in a warm, supportive and nurturing environment. He enjoys a wide variety of fun and engaging activities, and it’s wonderful to see him happily eating the freshly prepared home-cooked meals. The staff are also always friendly, approachable and quick to answer any questions, which gives us real confidence and peace of mind. We’re so pleased with the care and support our son receives and would highly recommend Busy Bees to other families.

Busy Bees started off as a great nursery when my daughter first joined. The staff were welcoming, and we were happy with the care she was receiving. However, over time I began noticing small issues, such as regularly collecting her in dirty clothes and with a full nappy, despite providing everything she needed.

The biggest issue has been the frequent room closures. Although the nursery is aware that we have no family or friends available to help with childcare, these closures have happened repeatedly, forcing me to take time off work on numerous occasions. This has had a significant impact on our family and work life.

Overall, I believe Busy Bees has the potential to be a very good nursery, but they need to address these ongoing operational issues and have a more reliable contingency plan in place when unexpected closures occur.

The staff are so friendly and positive and really engage in the activities with their key children. They take the time to get to know the children individually, helping them develop at their own pace and help them reach their key milestones. The setting itself is really well maintained and any issue is quick to be resolved, the staff are very attentive to the needs of the parents and offer help and advice when needed. Lots of lovely updates on the app. Overall I’m so grateful for all the girls at Godinton! Highly recommend.

Really happy with this nursery! My daughter is excited every single time we drop her off — no tears, just pure excitement to get in there. She's clearly super comfortable with her teachers too, you can just tell she trusts them. As a parent that's honestly all you want to see. Highly recommend!

The staff, activities , communication.
The safe and happy place for the children,
Active participation of the activities and creativity

The team is brilliant. From the induction at the beginning to the day to day, I can only say our daughter has continued to thrive. We are amazed by how much love and care the staff show to her. The level of learning and independence they are also fostering is amazing to watch. The feedback and learning diaries and updates and consistent enthusiasm to the development of her and others is wonderful. The team responds so promptly to any feedback. They always address my nervous first parent questions! Pickup and dropoff is always wonderful. I have loved getting to know all the staff and could not be happier!

A really lovely nursery, when my child was starting to take their first steps, all those involved in her care made sure to spend the time with them to help get them walking. They know my child really well, despite them only going a couple of days a week. Would recommend (and already have!) sending your child here.

I cannot recommend Busy Bees in Crowborough enough!

As a first time parent, everything is so daunting and worrying when it comes to choices, but with Busy Bees, it felt like all of that pressure was taken away and my worries put to bed.

The staff are so informative and helpful, and gave me all the information I needed to get my child into his first nursery.

I would like to give a special mention to Lily-Grace, Ros, Kacey, Cassidy, Jodie and Jemima who have been a vital part of my little boys journey so far!

Thank you all for everything!

Great child caring. Easily approachable. Always looking after my child both in presence and absence.

Invoices are too hard to read, if you need to make a change you can't.
Staff need to change the children's nappies more often.

Great nursery,helpful and caring staff and my daughter got used to it there quite quickly.

Has been amazing for my little boy managements great and staff are amazing ! Couldn’t ask for a better nursery

I would not recommend this nursery. My experience has been very disappointing.

The staff are often rude and unhelpful, which made communication difficult. I was concerned about my daughter’s care, as she frequently came home hungry and her nap schedule was not followed, even after I raised this with them.

Additionally, after my daughter left the nursery, I was sent an invoice that included charges for two extra full days she did not attend. This felt unfair and misleading.

Considering the high fees, I do not feel the level of care and service provided is acceptable. I would advise other parents to think carefully before choosing this nursery.

Thank you for asking for feedback.

Unfortunately, after my safeguarding concerns were dismissed by suggesting my two-year-old misunderstood because English is his second language, and with no CCTV available to establish what actually happened, I have no confidence in your safeguarding process.

Parents deserve better than assumptions when it comes to their children’s safety.

I couldn’t be happier I have 2 Grandchildren in nursery I feel the have come on in so many way staff are amazing making sure everything the need is available.
Also the kids love it.

Would highly recommend thank you
