Busy Bees Nurseries Reviews 

We couldn’t be happier with our son’s first year at the nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been so caring, patient, and supportive, making him feel safe and happy every day.

Over the past year, we’ve seen such wonderful progress in his confidence, communication, and development. He always comes home smiling, and it’s clear how much he enjoys his time there. The team plans fun, engaging activities and keeps us updated with his achievements and daily experiences, which we really appreciate.

It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in a nurturing environment where he is genuinely cared for. Thank you to everyone at the nursery for giving our son such a fantastic start—we’re so grateful and would highly recommend the nursery to any family.

As a dad, leaving your child at nursery for the first time is never easy, but Busy Bees Toton have made the whole experience so reassuring from day one.

Our little boy has settled in so well, and it's been great to see his confidence grow. We honestly couldn't ask for more and would highly recommend Busy Bees Toton to any parent!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees Toton. Since our little boy started attending, the team has given us nothing but reassurance and support, making what can be an emotional transition so much easier.

Every member of staff genuinely cares about the children, and it really shows in everything they do. They always give such a warm and friendly welcome each morning, which helps our little boy settle in happily, and they take the time to provide detailed feedback at the end of each day so we always know what he's been up to.

The nursery offers a fantastic variety of engaging activities that have really helped with his learning, development, and confidence. We also really appreciate the regular updates on the app, including photos and information about his day, which gives us real peace of mind while we're at work.

It's clear that the staff are passionate about creating a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. As parents, that's everything you could hope for when leaving your child in someone else's care.

We honestly couldn't recommend Busy Bees Toton highly enough. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

Both my children attended the nursery. They were so cared for and loved their key workers. They loved going in every day.

This nursery is a SEN parent's dream! My autistic son attends and I'm incredibly grateful for the care he receives. He has severe autism and is non-verbal but the staff go above and beyond to understand and support his SEN needs. They are extremely patient with him, very supportive and understanding, and always treat him with kindness. I notice from his behaviour that he is well cared for as he always hugs his key workers, and he laughs excitedly when I pull into the car park.

His key workers have put so much effort into understanding him as an individual, including learning how he prefers to be fed and how he likes things done so he feels comfortable and secure.

When he began having breathing problems, the team completed asthma training so they could support him safely. It's heartwarming to know he is somewhere the staff genuinely care about him.

He's always happy and having fun in his nursery photos. I'm grateful beyond words for the professionalism and dedication of the staff!

My little one is well taken care of, all the nursery workers and staff have managed to create a warm and welcoming environment for my baby. The app is great for every day communication and updates on LO's progress. The rooms are clean and the garden is perfect during the warmer months. We're very happy with our choice of nursery.

This was my sons first nursery, and it was a great start of his school life, the staff were so lovely. All of them seemed to really care for our son. We were heartbroken to move him to the distance from our house.

Friendly and amazing team! My little one love that place. Really recommend!

The staff at Busy Bees have been fantastic in helping our son settle in. They work really well as a team, and we’ve always felt that he is cared for in a warm, supportive and nurturing environment. He enjoys a wide variety of fun and engaging activities, and it’s wonderful to see him happily eating the freshly prepared home-cooked meals. The staff are also always friendly, approachable and quick to answer any questions, which gives us real confidence and peace of mind. We’re so pleased with the care and support our son receives and would highly recommend Busy Bees to other families.

Busy Bees started off as a great nursery when my daughter first joined. The staff were welcoming, and we were happy with the care she was receiving. However, over time I began noticing small issues, such as regularly collecting her in dirty clothes and with a full nappy, despite providing everything she needed.

The biggest issue has been the frequent room closures. Although the nursery is aware that we have no family or friends available to help with childcare, these closures have happened repeatedly, forcing me to take time off work on numerous occasions. This has had a significant impact on our family and work life.

Overall, I believe Busy Bees has the potential to be a very good nursery, but they need to address these ongoing operational issues and have a more reliable contingency plan in place when unexpected closures occur.

The staff are so friendly and positive and really engage in the activities with their key children. They take the time to get to know the children individually, helping them develop at their own pace and help them reach their key milestones. The setting itself is really well maintained and any issue is quick to be resolved, the staff are very attentive to the needs of the parents and offer help and advice when needed. Lots of lovely updates on the app. Overall I’m so grateful for all the girls at Godinton! Highly recommend.

Really happy with this nursery! My daughter is excited every single time we drop her off — no tears, just pure excitement to get in there. She's clearly super comfortable with her teachers too, you can just tell she trusts them. As a parent that's honestly all you want to see. Highly recommend!

Active participation of the activities and creativity

The team is brilliant. From the induction at the beginning to the day to day, I can only say our daughter has continued to thrive. We are amazed by how much love and care the staff show to her. The level of learning and independence they are also fostering is amazing to watch. The feedback and learning diaries and updates and consistent enthusiasm to the development of her and others is wonderful. The team responds so promptly to any feedback. They always address my nervous first parent questions! Pickup and dropoff is always wonderful. I have loved getting to know all the staff and could not be happier!

A really lovely nursery, when my child was starting to take their first steps, all those involved in her care made sure to spend the time with them to help get them walking. They know my child really well, despite them only going a couple of days a week. Would recommend (and already have!) sending your child here.

I cannot recommend Busy Bees in Crowborough enough!

As a first time parent, everything is so daunting and worrying when it comes to choices, but with Busy Bees, it felt like all of that pressure was taken away and my worries put to bed.

The staff are so informative and helpful, and gave me all the information I needed to get my child into his first nursery.

I would like to give a special mention to Lily-Grace, Ros, Kacey, Cassidy, Jodie and Jemima who have been a vital part of my little boys journey so far!

Thank you all for everything!

Great child caring. Easily approachable. Always looking after my child both in presence and absence.

Invoices are too hard to read, if you need to make a change you can't.
Staff need to change the children's nappies more often.

Great nursery,helpful and caring staff and my daughter got used to it there quite quickly.
