ABOUT US
We are a term time Early Years Setting, based in the heart of Southwick, West Sussex.
At Busy Bees Preschool, we believe that children learn, care, and grow best when they are supported in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. Our preschool is a vibrant and inclusive space where kindness and respect are at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on creating a setting that truly belongs to the children. With the support of our well-qualified and passionate staff, children are encouraged to explore their independence, make thoughtful choices, and actively participate in their learning journey. We recognise that young learners thrive when they feel heard and valued, which is why we place great importance on involving children in the decision-making process.
Our activities are thoughtfully planned to meet the learning and development goals of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring that each child receives a well-rounded and inspiring start to their education. Whether through play, creativity, exploration, or group interaction, every day at Busy Bees is filled with opportunities to grow in confidence, curiosity, and community.
Busy Bees is more than a preschool — it’s a place where children build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning, guided by care, kindness, and the freedom to be themselves
OUR SURROUNDINGS
We operate within the premises of Southwick Methodist Church, which is set in a residential area close to local schools. The building is wheelchair accessible and has an entry phone system for added security.
We occupy the rear hall of the building and have exclusive use of this during session times. The inner doors are also kept locked during session times to enable us to be a self contained unit and ensure children's safety.
​
Our safe, secure garden consists of a large soft-surfaced area, which is mostly covered by a canopy, a grass area containing a mud kitchen and a hard-surfaced area with a playhouse and plenty of tuff tray activities, including sand and water play. The children have free flow access to the garden at every session, come rain or shine!
