Busy Bees at Haslemere has been a wonderful nursery for my son. He has been going almost full time since he was 18 months old and he is now 3 and a half. When he first started, he had never been away from me but the staff in the teddies room gave so much care and plenty of cuddles to make the transition
as gentle as possible. As my son has grown and moved up through the rooms, he has been transitioned into each move gently and at his own pace. The nursery supported us brilliantly through potty training. They have also always gone above in the office supporting us arranging funding. I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Haslemere to anyone looking for childcare.

My child has been attending this nursery for two months now and loves it! The staff are really re-assuring (to both of us!) and really understood my concerns around calorie intake. Since starting nursery, his eating has massively improved, he no longer cries when I leave him and I know that he is in
safe hands for the day. The staff have really helped me feel relaxed about dropping him off and keep me posted on what he has been up to throughout the day.

My 17-month-old boy joined 6 months ago having moved to the area, all very daunting as he'd originally been with a childminder but we needed to look at all options and having had a recommendation, done the show round, all the children seemed so happy, it ticked all the books. We couldn't be happier
with the nursery and our little boy absolutely loves it and is so happy! The staff are so friendly and caring, happily giving out lots of cuddles which makes being a full time working mum that little easier knowing that he is well cared for and happy. He's really thriving and we couldn't wish for more.

After moving to the area, our son joined this nursery. He had previously attended another nursery and really struggled all the time and was constantly ill and sobbed upon sight of the building. The difference when he joined here was remarkable. He has truly thrived here and the connections he's made
to not only his key worker but all the staff is lovely and really reassuring. He also is very settled at drop off and his development has come on leaps and bounds since starting. I cannot recommend enough! Oh and he doesn't get sick half as much as he used to. Big difference!

When I decided to send my 15-month-old son to nursery, I visited quite a few in the local area, so as a terrified, nervous mum, I felt I could make an informed decision about my son's childcare.
What made Busy Bees at Haslemere stand out to me was the way the friendly team presented the nursery. They
were informative, very reassuring and patiently answered my endless questions.


I have never looked back on choosing this nursery. The staff's bountiful energy and enthusiasm for childcare and creating a safe, fun learning environment is fantastic. They are always happy to listen and respond to parents' questions and suggestions. We've had our fair share of difficult days, in these instances, the staff have always been so relaxed and supportive. Their experience and gentle advise has been invaluable.


My son is now nearly 4 and will be starting school in September. Whilst I will be very sad when we leave nursery, feel completely reassured that he will be prepared for school. Busy Bees has been such a positive experience for both him and our family and I thoroughly recommend the nursery to anyone who will listen.

My daughter (22 months) has been going to Busy Bees for 6 months and she really enjoys it. In the beginning, she used to cry but caring staff always made sure that she gets cuddles when she needs it. She is so happy now when I leave her to the point where she almost doesn’t want to go home when I pick
her up. The nursery provides many different activities and outdoor play which she loves.She is thriving in the nursery, she has learnt many different songs and actions to the song.


All staff are very friendly and in no time you feel like home when you get there.

Both of my children attend the nursery and have done so since 10 months old. They both enjoy attending nursery - I leave them happy and also return to happy faces. They are well looked after, eat very well and take part in a number of activities throughout the day.


The garden is amazing, loads of

space for kids to play in with plenty of equipment. There is also an on-site kitchen now which serves well-balanced food which is always gobbled up!


The preschool has an added bonus added benefit of a teacher and classroom activities which is great practice for school.


Overall, a brilliant nursery and I'd happily recommend to others.

This is the 5th nursery I have experience of (moving house and older children) and I am so very pleased with it. The staff are kind and friendly and very welcoming to the whole family. My little boy is extremely happy. I am particularly pleased with the consistency of care he receives and the familiar
faces that are there every day to greet him and look after him.
I would highly recommend to other parents.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 11 months old and is now 3.5 years old. She has thrived there and is being encouraged to achieve her potential within a nurturing happy environment. She loves the sessions with a teacher and is now able to write her own name. We are thrilled with her
progress, the individualised care and all the amazing staff. It’s a relief to know she is in safe hands when I am at work and lovely to see her confidence grow and friendships develop in preparation for school.

My daughter started at Busy Bees at Haslemere just before she turned one and has been attending for over a year now for a couple of days a week. All the staff have been amazing in helping her get settled and I have seen her confidence grow considerably since she has been attending. She loves her time
there and the range of activities, events and facilities that the nursery provides her with are fantastic. She eats very well there and really enjoys getting outside most days when the weather permits in the large garden. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My daughters - aged 1 and 4 - both absolutely adore their time at this nursery and have bonded with all of the staff. My littlest was very hesitant to begin nursery at 11 months and the staff in her room - especially her key carer - went above and beyond to help her settle quickly. Now she will happily
go to any of the staff in her room for a cuddle at drop off and is reluctant to leave when I collect her. She loves all the games, books and activities on offer and the garden is a big hit.


My older child is absolutely thriving at nursery, especially working with the teacher in pre-school. I am amazed at the activities, science experiments, writing, crafts, games and so much more that she gets up to every day. I am 100% certain that this nursery has already provided my daughter with a fantastic preparation for school.


My daughters are both very happy at nursery and I am confident leaving them with staff who genuinely care about them. What more could you ask?

Our two-year-old son goes to Busy Bees at Haslemere and this is a truly wonderful nursery. The setting is perfect with a huge garden and lot of toys and equipment to aid children's learning. Although our son had not been to a nursery before, he adjusted to the nursery life quickly due to caring and
happy staff who are always smiling and welcoming him to the nursery.


We are kept up to date with our son's progress, both verbally and using a digital platform; ParentZone app on our phone is great for updates on how our son is doing with breakfasts/snacks/lunches/nappy changes as well as observations with photos and comments from teachers. We can even upload photos and comments at home for the nursery staff.


There are two chefs and they cook delicious food which our fussy eater son has been enjoying!


I highly recommend this outstanding nursery.

My son has been at Busy Bees for almost a year and he loves it!
He started soon after his 1st birthday and it didn't take long for him to settle in, which is a credit to the kind and caring staff. Now he barely looks back when I drop him off and he often talks about "the girls" who take care of him.
The
children spend a lot of time outside playing and getting mucky, which we love and encourage as much as possible!. The variety of activities ensures he is continually developing new skills and kept entertained.
I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

Busy Bees has been an excellent nursery for both of my children. I have watched them grow and thrive physically and mentaly with the excellent support of the Busy Bees team. My son is now in the preschool and has found the support from the teacher to be excellent. He is learning, phonics, numbers and
his letters and comes home excited about what he has learnt. My son speaks very highly of his key worker and she has been brilliant in supporting him.
Both my son and daughter are very happy at nursery and they look forward to going each day. My daughter is a real 'Mummy's girl' and I was concerned that she would find nursery a struggle. However, she has become very attached to the room manager and early years educator, both who have been excellent with supporting her and making her feel comfortable within the nursery environment.


Thanks all, would highly recommend this nursery to others!

My son has been attending this Nursery since he was 6 months old and he is soon to be 4 years old now.
I cannot praise Busy Bees at Haslemere enough. The Staff and Management are nothing short of amazing. I have always felt confident leaving my son here, as I know he is surrounded by knowledgeable
and caring people who make a real effort to develop genuine and nurturing relationships with all the children in attendance.
Their excellent communication means parents are always clued in and know instantly if any issues crop up during the day. The introduction of iConnect is also a lovely way of being part of a child's life at Nursery.
The way the Rooms are structured means children are brilliantly supported, entertained, educated and cared for while encouraged to reach new goals on their developmental journey.
The food is good, offering a healthy and balanced diet and security is excellent. I have always had the peace of mind that my child is somewhere safe.

My daughter started at the nursery when she was just about to turn one and has been going 3 days a week for almost a year. She has loved going from the very beginning and really enjoys all of the different activities on offer. She loves being outside and the room that she's currently in facilitates
this daily. She always eats well and comes home happy and tired from a busy day. The staff within her room are fab and really know what makes her tick.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 8 months old, he's now 3 years old. He's been very happy and settled here since the beginning. The nursery is a lovely setting, with great rooms for all ages, some rooms have direct access onto the garden - which is a great space and used a lot. Staff are
great, showing a genuine interest and care for the children, understanding their personalities, needs and what makes them tick. The recent addition of a qualified teacher to the pre-school room is fab. My 3 year old was delighted to tell me about the Letter of the Week!
IConnect has recently been introduced to the nursery - I love the Observation section. The nursery adds observations on a regular basis and parents add their own so nursery can build on to further develop activities the child will enjoy and benefit from. An onsite kitchen means as well as great food, the children are able to get involved in choosing food to go on the menu. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone!
