May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amThe staff at Busy Bees are extremely friendly and welcoming. They put me at ease doing the difficult first month of settling and are helpful in developing my child’s speech and other key developments.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amWe are really pleased we chose Busy Bees. The staff are caring and friendly and they have a great outdoor space and soft play. The care is great as it is geared towards development but through play and we think the nursery has only added to her development. We also get photos and observations through so we can see what she’s been up to.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amVery happy with this nursery my daughter loves going and I feel it has very much helped her with confidence. All the staff are very welcoming and take on interest in the children and go out of their way to ensure you know what they have been up to each day. Good facilities and resources available.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amThe staff that look after the children are absolutely lovely, they seem to care. The environment is very stimulating there are lots of activities with plenty of educational merits, lots of fun games, going out in the garden etc. The food menu looks varied and very nice.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Busy Bees for 2 years. He has developed from a shy little boy to a child who is confident enough to speak up and takes full part in all the activities. I drop him off each time happy that he will be well cared for by the staff. I really like that every member of greets my son by name when we meet them in the corridor. It’s a lovely environment and we are very happy to have chosen this nursery.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter is happy and confident, well cared for and progressing really well at Busy Bees Horsham. We get excellent feedback and she’s always doing something new and exciting. It would be great if they could get off-site more regularly but they are always in the garden. Sometimes the admin side hasn’t been perfect but the things that matter care, staff and engaging activities are great.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amStaff are really friendly and my son loves all activities and garden play. I also like there are a lot of arts and crafts for children. My son loves his food and is happy with all freshly cooked meals and baking activities you plan for him. Thank you.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amBusy Bees in Horsham is a warm and friendly place where I feel my son is always safe and has fun. The staff are kind, experienced and listen to any concerns. The food of a good quality and my son always enjoys seconds. I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 amI have always found the nursery staff to be very warm and their commitment to providing a high standard of care is obvious. My toddler took a couple of months to settle in (as expected) and in the early days, I was very impressed by their confidence in reassuring both myself and my toddler when handing him over in the morning. The iConnect app is useful in tracking his intake, output and sleeping patterns whilst at the nursery. Photos are uploaded on at least a monthly basis too. My only reservation in recommending the nursery relates to one aspect of the nursery’s fee policy – all bank holidays are fully chargeable and we, therefore, pay several hundred pounds over the year to apparently support basic operations of the nursery when it is closed. Not all nurseries maintain this type of policy so if we lived within walking distance (I don’t drive) of a nursery of comparable quality, I would opt for that instead. Otherwise excellent.

October 1, 2018 at 12:00 amMoving our child to their nursery was the best decision we ever made. The facilities are very good including multiple rooms for different age groups, a spacious garden area and an “Academy” ready for those going to school. The organisation and range of activities is excellent.
The staff are friendly, helpful and love doing their job. They know our child well and cater for the next steps in his learning very well. We could not ask any more from this amazing nursery.

October 9, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child is very happy there. He hasn’t been able to settle in other nurseries so well but at Busy Bees he settled straight away he only cried the first day.
The staff are wonderful and the facilities are very good. I feel very comfortable leaving my child there and have peace of mind. Highly recommend it.

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend Busy Bees, Horsham, enough. My son attended for 3 years and is now in school and my daughter is still attending the nursery until she starts school in September 2022.
Busy Bees staff go above and beyond to make sure she is happy and cared for to the best of their ability, nothing is ever too much trouble.
My daughter has made close bonds with the girls that look after her each day and she cannot wait to get to nursery to see them.
I also think the way Busy Bees has handled the care for the children during the pandemic has been outstanding. It has been a tough time for all of them but they always have a smile on their face to greet us and have made the nursery days as normal as they possibly can, while taking into account extra cleaning and safety measures. For that, we are very thankful as it has enabled us to continue to work from home and home school our son whilst our daughter has been at nursery.
I would totally recommend Busy Bees to other parents.

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 8 months old, she is now 2.
I can not fault the nursery or the staff.
The staff are absolutely wonderful and so friendly. Every afternoon when I pick daughter up they give me a handover and tell me all about daughter’s day.
Daughter comes home happy and tired from playing.
Daughter has learnt so much and her milestones have been on target with help going to this nursery.
Thank you for all time in this last year.

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amOne of the best things I ever did for my son was moving him to Busy Bees at Horsham.
The staff are beyond amazing! They all know my son by name, and are very caring towards him and the other children. They are always enthusiastic and happy, and engage the children in a wide variety of fun and stimulating activities each day. My son comes home talking about how kind his teachers are to him and telling me about how much fun he had! He has learnt and developed so much since starting there.
The children are evidently very well cared for throughout the day. They are well fed with healthy meals and kept clean and comfortable. I enjoy keeping up with what my son is doing at nursery via the Parent Zone App.
I cannot praise this nursery and it’s staff enough. I never have to worry leaving my son there and, most importantly, my little boy is always so happy and excited to go!

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amI cannot praise Busy Bees enough. My daughter absolutely loves it, so much so she cries to attend more days! The staff are so friendly and communication is excellent. It’s such a lovely feeling knowing that your child is being so well cared for. I particularly like the app which is updated throughout the day and includes development assessments and photos.

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at the nursery in 2019, just after her first birthday. She’s shy around new people and in new situations but all the staff have been amazing with her. As she has gotten older she has moved rooms a couple of times (the most recent being September 2020) and each time the staff have been brilliant in helping her settle in quickly. She comes out of nursery smiling each day talking about her friends, room staff and what she has done that day. We couldn’t recommend the nursery more.

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amBusy Bees Horsham has been fantastic at easing my son at this really difficult time. My son was very attached to me given we’d been in lockdown together all year so I was anxious how he’d cope with being away from me in such a different environment but Busy Bees made the transition as easy as possible for both me and my son.
It really feels like we are all on the same team when it comes to the welfare and education of my son and they are really invested in his progression and working alongside myself and my husband to help my son progress with his development as much as possible.

March 15, 2021 at 12:00 amBusy Bees Horsham is a very friendly nursery. My son has been attending for almost 2 years and my daughter will be starting shortly. My eldest always has lots of fun and is very excited as we get to the nursery. They do lots of different activities and there are lots of observations on the parents’ app to let you know how your child is doing (as well as daily reports on pick-up). The staff all seem to genuinely enjoy working with the children and have a good relationship with them. I’m very happy for my children to be attending and would recommend the nursery.
