Located in an idyllic area surrounded by parks and fields, Busy Bees Haslemere provides a warm and welcoming environment with an open and bright space for your child to thrive within.

The nursery is set up for children to enjoy every moment they spend there. From the well-equipped, age-dedicated areas to the spacious garden, there are endless opportunities for your little one to learn and develop when taking part in fun-filled activities prepared by the fantastic childcare team.

Family life is busy and the nursery has a great on-site car park, making drop-offs and pick-ups as easy as possible.

The dedicated team cherish the bonds they have with families and use the Parent Zone app to provide regular updates on what your little one is getting up to during their stay at nursery. The ParentZone app is a brilliant way to stay connected; it keeps track of everything your child has done during the day, from nappy changes to what they've eaten, as well as pictures or videos. Parents can access the app at any time and it a great tool for continued learning development at home.

We were really undecided about moving our child’s nursery when we moved house, but we’re so glad we took the plunge and moved to Busy Bees.


The manager was really reassuring and friendly and our daughter settled in very quickly. The nursery workers are all kind and caring and our daughter is very

happy there.

My daughter has been very happy at Busy Bees in Haslemere. She was so shy when she started and now she is confident and loves learning. Every day is different and they prepared her brilliantly for school. I had no hesitation to bring her back after lockdown as the communication between the nursery and
parents was brilliant and my daughter missed it so much. The team are handling the COVID-19 situation amazingly well. I cannot recommend all the team enough.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We were incredibly impressed by how smoothly Busy Bees Haslemere transitioned our son back to Nursery after lockdown and the impressive safety measures put in place. He's always excited to go to Nursery and is excited to tell us what he did when he comes home - which is quite something for a two-year-old.
On a recent holiday, he was asking if his key-worker could come with us, which shows the strong bond and love between the staff and children. We're also impressed how much he has learned directly from nursery, from baby signing (which we certainly didn't teach him) to developing a constantly surprising and inventive imagination. I honestly couldn't dream of sending our children anywhere else.

While the resources/facilities, catering and activities are all excellent, it is the dedication of the staff that I would like to highlight; it’s clear to us that the manager and the team care deeply about the children at the nursery and, despite the logistical challenges of creating and maintaining
a safe, post-lockdown environment, our children are still met every morning with welcoming, socially-distanced smiles and warm, PPE’d cuddles when comfort is needed. It’s no mean feat. We are incredibly grateful to them for their guidance and support we have received in the past few months.

After 2 years at this nursery my two children were delighted to return in June. This was managed fantastically by the staff who did it sensitively, safely and with enthusiasm. During the time at home they regularly sent updates and the staff read stories and provided activity suggestions frequently
to stay in touch which was appreciated. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly. They’ve also kept their (pre COVID) promise to refurb the garden which is now happening and anticipated with excitement by the children.

My 22 month old twin daughters have been going to BusyBees for the last three months and I can not recommend them highly enough! My girls are literally buzzing about going to ‘bees’ in the mornings and I know they will be engaged, cared for, looked after and nurtured in a home from home setting. Thank
you for making my return to work so stress-free!

My little one has been with Busy Bees for a month and has settled brilliantly. She was offered three settling in sessions over different days and times so she could experience a broad range of the nursery day. The staff and management have all been excellent at keeping me informed of how her day has
been and I can honestly say I feel totally at ease knowing she’s having a really fun day. The outside space is incredible and the range of activities offered have been brilliant. Mealtimes are varied and the kids are encouraged to try new, healthy things which I love. We’re really pleased with how the whole transition to nursery life has gone.

My eldest son has just left the nursery to go to school after four years at Busy Bees Haslemere, and my younger one (19 months) has been there since 10 months old. I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and the staff - their dedication, professionalism and true love they show our children. Another
highlight is the amazing healthy and varied food they have. The proof is two happy little boys that cannot wait to join their friends and carers every morning.

My little boy has been at Busy Bees at Haslemere since he was 10 months and is now about to make his final move to the pre school room. He has come on leaps and bounds. He was always unhappy at being left but the staff are so good and caring that he's now come round to the idea and goes in happily and
excited to play. They have been so supportive with potty training and he looks forward to going. I can’t recommend it enough.

My daughter is very happy at this nursery. I have been impressed by how much staff have listened and tried to carry out things I have asked them relating to my daughter’s care. The nursery work hard to put on a range of activities that parents can be a part of and staff give a lot of time to this. My
daughter thinks the staff are great and is always happy to go to nursery.

Having had a little boy (just turned 2 years old) in the nursery now for just over 8 months, I can safely say he has enjoyed every minute of his time there. This includes having recently transitioned rooms. The care is of the highest order and staff are friendly, caring and fun! There is a consistency
and happiness amongst the staff which transmits to the children. We are very happy with the nursery - thank you!

I just wanted to say a very big thank you to the whole team at Busy Bees Haslemere for another lovely summer fair on Saturday. We really appreciate your generosity in giving up your free time to plan and then host these events outside your normal busy working weeks.
We have so enjoyed all the events
you have hosted for us all while our son has been at Busy Bees. You all work so hard to make sure our little ones grow and develop and, most importantly, are happy.
It has been such a joy to watch our son become a confident and articulate ‘grown up boy’ and we can see how big a part you and the team at Busy Bees has played in that. It’s been such a positive journey for us and for him!
Anyway, we’re not leaving quite yet(!) but nevertheless, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you while I was reflecting on Saturday. It was a lovely day!

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Haslemere since late December 2017. I cannot recommend enough the level of personal support, care, fun, and kindness all staff have offered our daughter. She attends 3 and a half days a week and just loves her time with the staff, fellow little people and all the fun
she has in the garden!
The facilities and space are great (one of the best we have seen in the nurseries we visited), it's always very clean and the fellow children seem settled and happy.
Her key workers are fantastic, you get a genuine sense of care and I love how all staff are familiar with all children (even when in different rooms).
Thank you to the team for making the nursery experience such a positive one.

We currently have two children at Busy Bees at Haslemere and they adore the staff, the environment, the food and the activities! Our eldest child still loves to come back and visit staff members. We have found it to be a professional environment, with highly trained staff, who guide and encourage all
the children.

Job Title: Centre Director

Hello, my name is Hayley, I have been working at Busy Bees Haslemere as Centre Director since June 2022 and I have enjoyed settling in and getting to know the children and their families, and of course my wonderful staffing team.


I have now been working in childcare for 15 years, have experience in many different roles and responsibilities in a variety of settings, and became a Manager 4 years ago in an independent setting before joining the Busy Bees team a few short months ago. I hold a Level 5, Foundation Degree in Early Years and a Level 3 qualification in Leadership and Management.


In my free time, I am often finding new adventures for me and my puppy Wilson to go on, dog biscuits in one hand for him and a hot coffee in the other for me!


I look forward to welcoming many new faces to our beautiful centre, so come take a look, and bring any questions you may have.
