November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amI have only been at Busy Bees for a short period of time but so far I am very happy with the staff and caring environment I have seen. The garden is well laid out and large in comparison to some nurseries I have visited previously. My son is happy and well looked after. They go out of their way to make the children happy.

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amEveryone is always so positive when I drop off and pick up! My little one has never had a bad day! He loves playing in the garden, especially in the mud garden. He enjoys all activities including play dough, baking, drawing and visiting pre-school. He has made lots of friends and looks forward to his nursery days.

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son started back in 2012 he was 3 months old and went 1 day per week. As soon as I saw the nursery I knew it was the one I wanted to look after my son. The nursery has a lovely feel and all the staff are welcoming but what sold it to me was the outside space and the lovely home cooked meals. The garden is amazing and is used all throughout the year. The staff are excellent at developing the children’s imagination and my son thrived. When I went back to work I had no problem in sending him full time and when his sister was born a few years later she went pretty much straight away. I am so grateful for the care they provide and the milestones they have helped to achieve. My daughter continues to go there now and she loves it, the staff have watched both my young children grow and have helped their development immensely. Highly recommend this nursery I am unsure I would be happy sending my children anywhere else.

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amMy daughter thoroughly enjoys Busy Bees. During her time here she has grown in confidence and made lots of friends. The staff are great and the facilities are fantastic. They have just introduced an app that gets uploaded with info and photos.

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amI have found my 2 year old son’s settling phase incredibly smooth (having initially dreaded it). And it is very encouraging during pick up as he can’t stop talking about the fun day he’s had.
Busy Bees staff are lovely and I only wish I’d tried it out sooner!

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amI’ve been thrilled with the team at Busy Bees. Like any mother, I was nervous my daughter would find the transition into the nursery environment difficult, but she’s absolutely loved it! When I pick her up she’s always been doing fun activities with her little friends and that happy face has totally set me at ease. Thank you team!

November 16, 2016 at 12:00 amWell what can I say about Busy Bees in Hove – everything you would expect from a nursery and more besides. I looked at 3 nurseries (including Busy Bees) the second I walked in the door I knew this was the nursery for our little boy…warm and welcoming but still with a hint of formality, with the team being in branded t-shirts (which I like). Myself and my son loved it from the word go – with plenty of free settle sessions leading up to the official start date we had plenty of opportunity to get to know the team. On the big day, he cried and so did I – I will never forget his key worker comforting both of us, and putting us both at ease on that difficult first day back. My little one has his favourites, (they all get favourites) – but all of the team are absolutely amazing and can’t do enough for us…I don’t know where I would be without Busy Bees and take every opportunity to recommend them to friends and family! We love you Busy Bees.

November 17, 2016 at 12:00 amWe started with Busy Bees in August 2016 before our son turned 1 and I was getting back to work. His settling phase went smoothly and the team was very supportive. In particular, he has quickly built a good relationship with his key person. It is a great experience when we pick him up or drop him, to see that everybody is very positive and welcoming so our son enjoys being there. We are very happy that we have chosen Busy Bees at Hove as it seems like it was the right decision for our son.

December 6, 2016 at 12:00 amBoth my grandchildren attend this nursery and have since they were babies. They love it! They both get so excited when we pull into the drive. It’s like a big family, The staff are lovely and caring. There is always lots of lovely things going on, the children are clearly learning and developing all the time. The food is home cooked and varied. The chef is a favourite with my grandchildren.
The rooms are decorated in a lovely beach theme, neutral colours. It’s always very clean. The garden is very big and has just had a makeover. It’s an amazing space for the children, it’s like a park! My Grandchildren love it and always seems to be outside playing.
We enjoy being included in nursery activities. We are always invited to events such as Grandparents day, Summer party Christmas crafts night. It’s got a lovely community atmosphere. The children sometimes go next door to the care home to sing and read stories to the elderly, which is delightful. I highly recommend this nursery.

All staff cater for her individual needs and the environment has many resources for her to thrive. Nothing every seems to much trouble and staff have put me at ease when I’ve had concerns. I would recommend Busy Bees to my friends

April 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy 2-year-old son settled very quickly into Busy Bees, having been unhappy at his previous nursery. Staff were caring and reassuring, and he is now very positive about attending nursery. He especially loves the huge garden to run around in.

April 17, 2018 at 12:00 amI found the whole premises extremely clean and very inviting. It was well appointed and I would think attractive to all young children. Being very colourful with plenty of things to do. The staff I met were very pleasant and seemed to have very good contact with the children in their care. I have seen several other nurseries in the area over the past few years and Busy Bees is one of the best.

April 17, 2018 at 12:00 amAs a first time mother, I was very apprehensive about leaving my child, the staff at Busy Bees Hove made me feel very comfortable and at ease with their knowledge and passion for children. My child loves nursery, and has settled really well into the routine of nursery life! Thank you all at Busy Bees for making this transition so smooth and going above and beyond for my child!

April 24, 2018 at 12:00 amMy twins have been here full time since 10 months and are now in pre-school. They skip in every morning and never want to leave at the end of the day! Staff, management, facilities, learning and catering are all first class and I trust staff implicitly. I love how they plan activities around the children’s individual tastes, interests and needs. I’ll be as sad as they will when they leave next year.

October 9, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter started attending Busy Bees at Hove during lockdown. She settled in quickly, loves her days at nursery and has formed good relationships with staff. She comes home each day happy and looking forward to the next day. She loves the food and wide range of activities.

October 5, 2021 at 12:00 amI can’t thank or praise Busy Bees nursery in Hove enough. Our two youngest have had wonderful journeys here. Straight away we were welcomed like family, all aspects of the boys learning and care has been carried out with professionalism, yet has been fun-filled at every minute. I loved greeting the boys at the end of their action-packed days, finding them with beaming smiles, tired eyes and full tummies with lots of tales of their days.
I loved every single staff member that formed relationships with the boys, they all had their uniqueness and contributed only positive attributes towards the boys.
Wish they continued to educate until school leaving age if I’m totally honest.
