Bunny Run Nursery and Pre-school

Our daughter has been at Bunny Run for a little over a year, in which time friends have been made and much joy had by her. I am so very impressed with the level of activity and attention to such that is received. The staff are wonderful and nothing seems too much; a great place for our daughter to learn such key early skills and move through milestones.

The nursery are always organising fun activities for the children to give them the chance to explore and learn. They work in partnership with parents and genuinely care about the children they look after.

I was nervous to send my four-year-old daughter back to nursery after the lockdown and the Bunny Run was a different nursery to the one she had attended. I couldn’t believe how quickly she settled in. The staff couldn’t be nicer greeting her with a warm smile every morning and I love hearing about all the new friends she has made and the activities they get up to. I love being able to see how they are getting on throughout the day with the Famly App. I would definitely recommend the Bunny Run to anyone looking to place their child there.

Recently moved to the area and this nursery was the thing I was most excited about for the move. I love the drive there, through stunning countryside; when you come out of the nursery, the view over fields, woods, horses, is breathtaking; but most importantly the people are fantastic – everyone from the staff that work with the kids, management, the owner. Despite having a difficult situation and not being able to give a set start date, they were so understanding and flexible. The educational activities are well thought out, they focus on different topics each week. And I love that they walk the kids over to the nearby forest when they can. But the best review comes from my daughter when I pick her up who is always so happy.

My little boy recently started at the Bunny Run beginning of June 2020, during the lockdown period. I was impressed with the standards of provision given in what must have been an extremely challenging time for the management and staff.
My little boy settled in extremely quickly. He had left another setting not connected to Bunny Run and after frequent refusal to attend, emotional times when leaving and collecting, just knew that he was not happy there. I decided to move him to Bunny Run and followed my mother’s intuition and have not looked back. There has been no tears or upset at all and we are greeted with a very happy little boy every day. He has also come on a lot in terms of development and is much happier within himself.
I really can’t find any faults with the nursery.
I really appreciate nappies, creams, wipes and sun creams being supplied and included within the fees. It saves a lot of extra stress and daily organisation which means I have one less thing to worry about.

Our son joined Bunny Run shortly before his first birthday. Leading up to it, we had spent months comparing nurseries in Tunbridge Wells, letting him stay for a couple of hours in each, hoping he would settle in. It is only when we discovered Bunny Run that all of us knew we had found the perfect environment for our son to thrive in. He instantly took to it during the trial and I watched him as he explored all the toys, aquarium and opened up to the teachers. It feels like a home from home environment, calm and mature and the carers, most of which seem to have been with the nursery for a long time, could not be more loving, patient and engaged. I watched our little boy over the past year and a half turn into a very confident, curious, creative and social little toddler, with great manners, kind and carefree and we have Bunny Run to thank for it as he spends 4 long 10 hour days with them. The food is excellent and varied and I am able to watch his progress via the app!

Our son is very happy at the nursery and enjoys his time there. Handled covid challenges very well. Beautiful countryside setting. Good varied food menu. There are a couple of very friendly members of staff that our son is very fond of. A reasonable number of photos and written updates on the family app in a typical week. Price is reasonable compared to other nurseries. That being said, there has not been a significant move away from the practices put in place during the pandemic, i.e. there has been no official return to parents being able to go inside the nursery, which is not the case for other local nurseries, so we feel that we and our son are missing out. No nursery events, such as at Christmas, or parents’ evenings. Therefore, been little opportunity for parents and children to mingle. Staff turnover has been high, which is not specific to them, however, there have been instances where they have been slow to update us on new staff members starting.

My baby is very happy to go Bunny Nursery and we love the atmosphere and care she receives. Staff are kind and responsive, and know her well. The setting is spacious yet homely, with lots to explore. Free flow to safe outdoor space, which is used for learning, pay and picnics is great.
