    They dealt with any situation without having to contact me. Also, the team are incredible with every kid, my daughter felt loved and appreciated for who she is and I never had a day when she did not want to go to childcare centre. And for me, this is what made me want to stay with the settlement, I would like to say a big thank you to the team for looking after my daughter all this time.
    Highly suggest Busy Bees Crawley. Thank you. For me, the most important thing was for my daughter to sense included and welcomed in the settlement, but also for me to have peace of mind while at work full time, Busy Bees managed to offer this 5 out of 5.

    The team have consistently been so supportive and recognise that he needs a bit more TLC and reassurance at drop off. I have full self‑assurance in all of the team that my son is well looked after and cared for in my absence, it makes my job as Mum so much easier knowing that he is in secure and loving hands when he is at childcare centre. The team truly do go the extra mile and he has built some truly special bonds with the key workers he has had. The surroundings and equipment are consistently well thought out and maintained and I adore that all of their food is homemade on site by the chef. I couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre and would highly suggest it to anyone. My son has been in Busy Bees since he was 18 months and settled in highly quickly despite having some separation anxiety.

    She tells us stories of things she has done that day and the friends she has made. Along with improving her speech and updates, her problem solving and cognitive skills have truly come along due to the attention and assistance she receives from her carers. The team are fantastic and highly welcoming. Also, they give regular updates about what my daughter has done in the day and share observations and photos. The office team are also truly supportive and consistently cheerful to answer any question, no matter how simple. I’m so pleased we send our daughter to Busy Bees at Crawley, I know she loves going as she’s asks to go every day, even at the weekend! Our daughter has thrived since attending Busy Bees at Crawley.

    There is zero assistance. In February 2021 they suggested my daughter is delayed and autistic. I asked if we could follow a plan with the SEN worker to help. In May I asked how the plan was going. They admitted to never following the plan and said my daughter made development. She clearly didn’t – my daughter couldn’t speak a word.
    I was consistently worried about the kids to adult ratio but was consistently dismissed about this until my daughter’s speech therapist visited her at childcare centre and told them they needed more adults in the rooms.
    Again we were given a plan from the specialist and advised to give my kid more hours within her funding. Busy Bees said I would have to pay extra for team to follow my daughter’s development plan.
    I changed her childcare centre. Speech and development team told me I made the best choice and within eight weeks my daughter is much confident, happier, and can say some words! My daughter was never given the sessions I asked for and was consistently told paying parents have priority over parents that had the same issue.

    The outstanding team ranging from the cooks catering for a milk allergy to the friendships my kids made with their key person has been fantastic. I can’t suggest this childcare centre highly enough! The first reason we chose this childcare centre was their flexibility to work with our complicated booking pattern due to my partner working shifts, but I’m so glad we ended up here.

    I’ve had two kids go to this childcare centre from babies to preschool, and I adore the quality of care and attention my kids have received.

    Constantly kept up to date with activities and pictures throughout the day. The team are exceptionally polite, supportive and welcoming. Adore the different rooms including the indoor playground. Excellent cleanliness and regulations especially during Covid-19. My daughter is consistently exhausted and cheerful when being picked up. I am so glad I was recommended this childcare centre. Adore this childcare centre.

    He is such a cheerful little boy.
    Much appreciated. Many thanks. I would like to thank all the team for their dedication and assistance to my grandson, encouraging him in great manners and behaviour.

    He now leaves this year to start school. The team are so welcoming and consistently willing to help and are highly supportive. This childcare centre has been incredible ever since my little boy was 18 months old.

    I know I can go to work secure in the knowledge he is being well looked after. The team are consistently highly welcoming and supportive, it’s spotless and spacious and the kids all seem genuinely cheerful to be there. I am highly cheerful with the care my son receives at this childcare centre.

    My daughter has never been so cheerful in a setting until settling here at Busy Bees, her key worker was INCREDIBLE, she was hands-on, was consistently giving me daily updates on the development of my daughter and making sure she knew I was away “collecting the pennies” from work. I had nothing but faith with the team when they were looking after her, they knew about my anxieties and leaving my daughter whilst I’m so far away and both the manager and admin officers were consistently able to email me at work to keep me abreast of how she was getting on.

    It is a real shame that my daughter and I could not continue our journey at the Busy Bees in Crawley and I truly do sense especially her key worker deserves an OUTSTANDING rating for childcare. As a new mummy, it is highly strenuous leaving your kid however they were able to put me at ease!

    Thank You, Crawley Team! I am exceptionally cheerful with the team at Busy Bees Childcare centre Crawley.

    They have adapted incredibly well to the demands that are now placed upon them during the pandemic and they have worked so hard to make life as normal as possible for the kids during this challenging time. My kid consistently looks forward to going to the childcare centre and I adore to hear about what they have been up to during the day, well done Busy Bees at Crawley. I am so cheerful with the care that my kid receives at this childcare centre.

    All the team are so welcoming and are consistently on hand to ensure the kids are getting the best care possible. My daughter has consistently had a remarkable bond with her key people, who have all taken a excellent interest in her as an individual. They have worked activities around her interests and likes but have also taken into account her needs to make sure that she develops to her full potential. She has made some lovely friendships at childcare centre which are consistently encouraged. The childcare centre setting allows kids to have enjoyable and thrive while consistently feeling secure and cared for. She will definitely miss Busy Bees when she leaves. Thank you to all the team. My daughter has loved coming to Busy Bees, ever since she was 10 month’s old.

    The team have made me sense so at ease with her being away from me. I sense she is in secure hands and well looked after. They know my little one truly well and from their updates, with me, I know they spend a lot of time working on her development and discovering. It the little details of what she likes playing with or doesn’t like eating, that show how much interest they take in each kid. I am so pleased with how they have handled the pandemic and adapted childcare centre life so that the kids still get the most ‘normal’ day whilst also maintaining a high level of hygiene and safety to help prevent the spread of the virus. I sense I can communicate my feelings with any team member and have often used the childcare centre for advice on how to help in situations in the home setting, for example, better sleeping and potty training. It is lovely that now my kid is older that I get to hear her talk about how she loves childcare centre and the team. My little one has been at Busy Bees at Crawley for a year and a half now.

    I can’t suggest this place enough, sad for him to be leaving for school. My son has been attending for four years, each stage they have all been incredible.

    Both our kids adore it there and I would highly suggest Busy Bees at Crawley to any parent. Team are highly welcoming and attentive and whenever we’ve had an issue it has been highly easy to resolve. They truly listen to you. Thank you Busy Bees at Crawley for all you’ve done for our kids over the past 3 and half years. We are sad to be leaving Busy Bees but this is purely because we are moving abroad.

    They have been tremendous. Supportive, attentive and compassionate. They have guided my son through his milestones and encouraged him all the way. We are sad to be leaving- he has many cheerful memories from childcare centre. Hopefully, my daughter will be able to go soon which we are looking forward to. They have been incredibly supportive of me and my working hours and been exceptionally flexible. Great value for money too in terms of meals, nappies, sun cream, and flexibility with holidays and moving days around. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Busy Bees. Thank you so much Busy Bees! My son has attended Busy Bees for 3 years and is now leaving for school.

    She has moved up through every room and has truly enjoyed her time in each one, each key worker and all the members of team making it sense like a home for her. All the team are highly supportive and accommodating and have truly helped her to come on leaps and bounds. We have truly enjoyed her time here and will be sad to leave. My daughter has been coming to this childcare centre for her whole life and is just about to start school.

    She will be leaving at the end of July to start school but has been with Busy Bees since she was 1. I can’t fault the level of care she has received and the friendliness and approachability of all the team. She consistently looks forward to her childcare centre days and comes home with lots of things to tell us about her day. My son was also at Busy Bees having started after we were let down by a childminder. We were worried that he would find it difficult to settle but this was not the case. The team were outstanding and he quickly adjusted. His self‑assurance improved and he came on leaps and bounds during his time there. He left 4 years ago to start school but still remembers his time and gets to see lots of the same team when we pick his sister up. We will all be sad when my daughter leaves and I know she will miss all the team, especially her key worker. I would not hesitate to suggest them to anyone looking for outstanding childcare. My daughter has truly enjoyed her time here.

    The team are tremendous with the kids and the facilities are incredible. The safety of the kids is paramount and so the childcare centre has an outstanding security system in place.
    My son is leaving soon to start school after 3 years at Busy Bees and we’ll both be sad to say our final goodbye. This childcare centre is up to such a high standard in every aspect.
