The team that works at Bizzy Bees Day Nursery is amazing. They really do care. I have two kids in there, and I enjoy working peacefully knowing that while I am at work, my children are safe, having lots of fun and learning. Nursery communicates with parents well and gives lots of updates including sweet
pictures. Really recommend.

Review from A F (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been using this nursery form last 4-years for my two kids. Since the new management this year, it has drastically improved its services. The communication is very clear, prompt and friendly. We are kept updated with the child's progress on daily basis. The new decor made the nursery clean, spacious
and bright. Staff are friendly, helpful and caring. The quality of learning and food is great. I particularly like the idea of surprise art and craft bag she brings home from the nursery, which means the nursery cares about kids development even if they are not in the nursery.
Nursery seems to be flexible in an emergency situation and happy to accommodate. The location of the nursery is great as very close to the station and market.
My daughter absolutely loves her carers and nursery.
I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and thriving place for their child.

Review from Hannah G (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very pleased with the take over of Bizzy Bees. The core strengths of the nursery remain. This is a small environment with a real family feel. My daughter has an individual relationship with every single staff member at the nursery, who have been rightfully retained. She has never once been reluctant
to attend since starting 2 years ago at 8 months. She looks forward to going in and sharing news with staff and friends. ("Nursery woo hoo!" is a common phrase in our house). I know that she feels safe, secure and nurtured by everyone in the setting. Her development is clear and she has formed wonderful friendships with the other kids. As a parent, I find the management extremely flexible and responsive. New additions from the recent investment, like the app, provide more insight than there was in the past as to what she had eaten and all important milestones with potty training, which makes it easy to be consistent at home. We remain thrilled with everything.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the nursery under its new management. Its best original feature – the warm and caring staff – has been retained, which is wonderful, while everything else has been upgraded, especially the communication with parents. We are delighted to receive regular updates about what our daughter
is doing and how she's developing; the Eylog app is brilliant and such a great tool. In a very challenging year, I have a lot of confidence in the job that the management are doing to keep everyone safe and the children's fun experience intact. Our daughter talks about her friends (both children and staff!) all the time and is clearly learning so much from her time there. She bounds out every evening, full of excitement about the things she's been doing. I love what I hear about the combination of child-led and themed or structured activities, and optional home learning is great for giving me ideas, too! All in all, we're delighted with the nursery and would highly recommend it.

Staff have been fantastic looking after our child who started at 7 months old. He is extremely happy there and is developing very well under their care and support. The communication from the staff is regular and detailed and clear plans are laid out for our son’s development path. The nursery’s app
allows us to keep in touch effectively and get a real insight into our son’s daily activities. Most importantly our son seems to have a lot of fun and is very comfortable with all his key workers.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.816 for Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.816
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
