Busy Bees Haywards Heath

The nursery has always been fantastic. All the carers from the ones you see daily, to the office staff and kitchen staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly and provide a super service to the children. I’ve had two that started in the baby room, and there have been tears but very short lived and now my girls barely give me a glance back as the skip happily into their rooms. They deserve to acquire the land next to playground to extend their outdoor space, as it is sufficient but, for children; they can easily fill every corner!

Both my girls love their time at Busy Bees Haywards Heath and baby number 3 is already on the waiting list. The staff are caring and the facilities really good plus the food is cooked on site and my kids love it! It’s not surprising they are outstanding

Like any mother dropping their child off at nursery for the first time, I was apprehensive. Three years on and I cannot have hoped for better. Extreme thought goes into every detail – from the layout of the rooms in a beautiful Grade II listed setting to nutritious food prepared fresh on site every day to making each and every child’s experience as enjoyable as possible. The wellbeing of each and every child is top of the agenda. The highly trained staff strive to tailor their care to individual needs which encourage the children’s full potential. The staff are a credit to the nursery; they communicate well with parents and set an excellent example for the children. It is a credit to them that the children are polite, courteous and considerate towards others. The range of activities offered are thoughtful and creative. The garden could do with being bigger but it is one of the best I have seen in the area; it is well set out and oozes good quality equipment which promotes exploration.

My daughter literally skips into nursery each day – she loves it! This leaves me with such confidence and comfort, knowing I can go to work and she is happy and cared for. The staff are all so friendly, compassionate and experts in the field of child development. My daughter has learnt so much in her first year there. She is now 22 months old and, I feel, that she has developed so much more than if I didn’t work and she were at home with me every day! She comes home each day and has been painting, or doing crafts or cooking – she seems to have learnt a new word, song or action every day. She thrives there.

The facilities are impeccable. The building is secure and warm, there is a safe outside area for the children to play and each room has ample space for all manner of activities.

Thank you to all at Busy Bees for allowing me the peace of mind while I work, knowing that my daughter is safe, cared for and is receiving a terrific and fun educational start in life!

What a wonderful place. After 10 months at home, we entered the world of day care at Busy Bees and we would not look back! Dropping off and picking up our daughter is a joy. She has found her second home, smiling at the building as we get out of the car and waving us out the door as she has breakfast with her friends. Staff are exceptionally attentive. There is a true family atmosphere here. Staff and management throughout, go out of their way to build positive relationships with children and parents. After just a few days, everyone seemed to know our daughter’s name, her favourite things and personality traits. From settling sessions, to room transitions, to messy play and happy mealtimes, we cannot fault their care and enthusiasm. The resources, activities, atmosphere, cleanliness, nutrition and general organisation led us to choosing Busy Bees. We have not been disappointed. Thank you for turning my return to work into a fantastic and loving experience for our daughter every day.

I couldn’t be happier with a nursery. Busy Bees at Haywards Heath is fantastic. I was extremely anxious to leave my baby at a nursery when I returned to work but very soon I was not only comfortable to leave her in the very capable hands of the staff, I’d even say I was happy to leave her as I knew she would have a great time and be well looked after. For this reason, I always recommend our nursery to others.

Busy Bees is a wonderful nursery and I feel very fortunate to be able to send my daughter there. The staff are excellent, attentive and genuinely care. I have been extremely impressed with all of the activities they provide. One of the other reasons we love the nursery is their amazing catering!

My daughter loves Busy Bees and literally drags me out of the house to go there in the mornings. The staff are so kind and thoughtful and always take the time to talk about how my daughter is progressing and what she’s been up to. I even get pictures of her put together in a little scrapbook, which is lovely and it makes me feel like I’m there with her. For me, it wouldn’t make sense to send my daughter anywhere else, especially during these uncertain times. I’ve looked at a lot of nurseries before deciding on taking my daughter to Busy Bees and other nurseries have been extremely bossy with everything from mandatory school uniforms by the age of 2 (!) to not allowing settling in sessions due to the pandemic… which would be straight up traumatic for most babies or children in a new environment. Busy Bees went out of their way to make sure my family was always comfortable with how to move forward and that is the reassurance you really want as a parent. Both my husband and I are pleased.

My son has been at the nursery since around 1 year old and having settled in straight away, has loved it ever since. He has made friends with the other children and staff and we love seeing the range of activities they get up to via the app. Daily updates on food, naps etc are very useful and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Busy Bees has been a wonderful setting for our daughter who has now been with them for 5 months.
The staff are kind and caring, they obviously take a huge interest in each child individually. We have received the highest quality feedback and help with our daughter as well as advice on behaviour and communication to enable us to bring learnings home too.
They put effort into each day to ensure it is interesting for our daughter as well as to develop her interests through play.
We also love the open days and appreciate the effort put into the nursery decorations around holidays.
