September 1, 2024 at 3:26 pmThere is a fabulous range of facilities available, he has joined in on baking, making, crafting, bug hunts and more! Each of the team there know the kids really well and you can see how cheerful and relaxed the kids are.
Each month there are a number of different events-for charity, Christmas fair, recycling week-but each marks a chance for the kids to do something enjoyable and different whilst having the opportunity to learn and develop. There is plenty for the parents to get involved with too, from parents evenings, forums and different events. The kids are encouraged and the childcare centre is keen to work with the parents, from aspects of development and behaviour. They have a discovering journal which you are able to review and take home at any time which the key workers ensure is up to date and full of key observations. When our son began childcare centre, he found it upsetting having us leave him, but the key workers were patient and compassionate, working with us until he was comfortable and felt secure.

He loves playing in the garden and enjoys the friendships he has made. My son attends childcare centre 3.5 days a week and has a excellent time.

October 7, 2024 at 1:00 pmThe team are welcoming and welcoming and any questions/queries are answered promptly. The childcare centre itself is lovely and there are lots for the kids to do. They also have a excellent outdoor space. My son has been really cheerful here. The childcare centre is perfectly located for us and even though my son only goes 2 days a week he looks forward to going and has made some lovely friends.

October 16, 2024 at 3:17 amMy daughter is rather sensitive, so it took her a while to settle in – the childcare centre team were very understanding and they welcomed and comforted her. Every day there are activities for the kids, from playing in the sand, painting to singing and dancing. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Busy Bees!
The large open plan, modern and bright room is full of enjoyable and educational toys situated in different playing areas which is a excellent way for them to independently choose what they would like to do, from reading the many books to playing in the ‘home and kitchen area’.

October 19, 2024 at 3:20 amThe wide range of activities balanced with the freedom the kids are given to playtime is excellent, and we see the joy our daughter enjoys there every day when we collect her. She has developed excellent relationships with both kids and team (way beyond her key worker) and we see her growing and discovering in leaps and bounds as the months fly by. Since her first day at Tunbridge Wells Childcare centre our daughter has loved it there.

October 24, 2024 at 5:16 pmThe team are all excellent with my kid. They do a diverse range of activities. They are really responsive if you have special requests. My son loves it there. They’re willing to give advice. It’s a lovely setting and my son has individual, strong relationships with multiple members of the team, which is really lovely and reassuring to see. I’m very cheerful with this childcare centre.

November 7, 2024 at 5:35 amHe was there for less than a year as he started school in September 2019. In the short time we were there we were extremely cheerful with the level of care from all team. So great were they that we had no issue whatsoever with settling in, not a tear was shed. The management team were also extremely supportive and supportive in every way, including guidance in relation to school choice submission. At the end of the childcare centre term when it came to saying goodbye to those preparing to start school the team were genuinely proud of the kids and sorry to see them go. It is a truly nurturing, secure and cheerful setting and I really cannot fault them. Complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while I was working. I cannot suggest them highly enough. In addition, the childcare centre was consistently immaculately kept and inviting and cosy for the kids indoors in winter with outdoor time allotted daily. Our son joined Busy Bees in November 2018 when we moved to the area.

The team have consistently been welcoming and give me great feedback each day when I collect. I delight in this as I can keep aware of what and how much my Son is eating and drinking and how he is progressing. This is the first time I have ever used a full-time childcare centre and was extremely nervous.

December 6, 2024 at 1:22 amThe meals are nutritious and varied. The team are welcoming and I sense 100% comfortable with my kid being in their care. My kid loves all the enjoyable and stimulating activities that the childcare centre consistently makes such an effort to provide for the kids.

January 30, 2025 at 7:04 amThey both have enjoyed their time at this Childcare centre. Both of our boys went to this Childcare centre and the youngest is now on his own in the preschool room.

February 3, 2025 at 2:55 amIn the five months she has been there she’s been the happiest. She is now starting to walk and has built bonds with her key worker, which is lovely to see. I am looking forward to watching her grow further into the sassy diva that she already is. My daughter has been at the childcare centre since she was five months.
Emerson Grant
February 20, 2025 at 2:23 amMy daughter has really grown in self‑assurance and social skills. She consistently has enjoyable there and loves to tell me what she’s been doing when I pick her up.
The team are welcoming and encouraging. Outstanding childcare centre and pre-school.
Billie Cross
February 24, 2025 at 1:47 pmThe team are welcoming, supportive and well‑informed and I sense very confident leaving her in their care. There is a excellent range of activities offered and regular emails to keep parents updated. I have been incredibly pleased with the care and attention my little girl has had since she started at 7 months.

April 21, 2025 at 12:03 pmThis is a welcoming childcare centre where the team get to know all the kids very well and ensure they delight in their time while there.

June 1, 2025 at 10:37 amThey really care and form lovely relationships with the little ones. You consistently get a inviting, welcoming welcome whenever you come in. It feels very homely, especially for the younger ones.
The garden area is exceptional and a particular favourite of my two. The food is exceptional and I have been shocked to hear of all the different things my kids will try while they are there. We had never had any journey with the Montessori method before but I can now say it’s been very supportive getting my daughter ready to start big school.
The team are incredibly supportive of your own choices and parenting methods, for example with potty training. I cannot suggest this childcare centre higher. I will be very sad the day my youngest leaves for primary school. We have two of our four kids at the childcare centre, with our fourth joining in a few months.
Finding Busy Bees was one of the best things to happen since moving to the area a few years ago.
The team are fantastic.

June 16, 2025 at 5:20 pmShe consistently comes home having had a great time and we get a sense that she’s been well looked after and well fed!
She talks about her friends and the activities and is consistently cheerful to get stuck in when we drop her off, sometimes barely getting a wave over one shoulder as we leave.
Thanks to everyone who works there! Our daughter’s time at childcare centre is limited – one day a week.
Toby Sawyer
June 17, 2025 at 9:18 pmShe loves it here and lets out a little shriek of excitement as we get to the gates. She’s also really come on in her development which is a bonus. Would highly suggest this childcare centre. My daughters face lights up when she sees the team in the morning (and the team are cheerful to see her too!) and it makes it so much easier for me to leave her and go to work.
