Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches has been fantastic for our daughter, who is very excited to go in every morning. The whole team are both very caring and very professional, and the way that they have dealt with the COVID situation has been exceptional.

We are exceptionally pleased with the standard of care at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches. Our daughter has been going there since 14-months-old and she has loved it from day one. So much so that she even asks to go at the weekend! The nursery is always spotless, with a great variety of toys, books
and learning equipment - and super outdoors space for all age groups. The food menu is nicely varied and nutritional. We are well briefed about her day and her overall progress and development and the whole team are always professional, polite and supportive. We were naturally anxious about our daughter going back to nursery due to COVID, but the nursery has handled everything exceptionally and our minds have been put totally at rest. I couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else.

I honestly could not be more grateful to the whole team and especially the Manager at the setting for all of their support. My son was displaying extremely challenging behaviour a few months after myself and my partner split. The Manager made me feel so secure and reassured me that my son's behaviour
really would improve with support and guidance. The strategies and reward systems are working and I just couldn't have done it without them. This team are a second family to us.

This is a great nursery with the focus very much on the learning and development of the young people that attend. Three of our children have attended this nursery and we have been very pleased with the care provided.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son came to the nursery from age 2 and he was upset every day. But when I would call I would find out that he had been good. When I picked up he didn't want to go home. He loved the staff in 2-3 and had a good relationship with his key person. When he moved to pre-school he was so confident in going.
The food was also good as he ate things there that he wouldn't eat at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has had an excellent time over the last two years at Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches. I remember when he started the nursery he was extremely upset and the nursery team looked after him so well during the transition and very quickly he settled in the place. He is very happy now to come to the nursery
and his developmental milestones have progressed so well. It is a wonderful place for young ones. I wish I could have come here when I was two.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter started nursery at 10 months old having had a bad experience with our older daughters nursery - we had our reservations, however, the staff are friendly and were very caring and nurturing, she settled in well. They communicate really well as a team and are excellent handing over. The manager
had completed a refurbishment and decorated most of the nursery which really improved the look and overall ethos. They are flexible and take parents concerns on board. I could not have hoped for a better nursery and more trustworthy or caring staff!

Both of my children have moved up to the next room. The youngest has a key worker we know well as she was our other child's keyworker. My daughter has quickly settled, it was lovely seeing her this morning go into her class with minimal fuss for once. This evening both my kids were having so much fun
they didn't want to come home.

My son joined Busy Bees a year ago and he absolutely loves it. He's made good friends and has a good rapport with his key persons. The nursery has helped to improve his communication skills and also helped in his development skills. Highly recommend all their extra curriculum, they have encouraged my
son's confidence.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches since she was a year old. She settled in so well and has developed socially and emotionally over the last 2 years. She is also developing cognitively and in line with expectations. She loves coming to nursery and has made great friends. She is
cared for extremely well and I know that she is in safe hands. When I pick her up, she asks to stay longer. Would highly recommend.

I have been coming to Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches for a few years now with two of my granddaughters, one who is still attending. I have always found every one of the staff to be friendly, kind and caring. Never once have either of my granddaughters said they didn't want to go to nursery.

As always, I am very happy with the care my daughter received at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches. She is always excited to go to nursery and especially this month with the variety of Christmas activities that have been taking place.
I am looking forward to receiving all her artwork and to seeing her
in the nativity play.
Well don't to all staff at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches and thank you.

Fantastic nursery with staff that truly care about my daughter. Every morning the staff arrive fresh-faced and wearing eager smiles. They seem able to cope incredibly with whatever the kids throw at them. I imagine their jobs must be fairly stressful at times but not once have I seen them show this.
Quite the contrary. All the staff appear to relish the chaos and I would recommend Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches in a heartbeat.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.306)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) out of 10 for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.750 for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.75
  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 4.556 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches is based on 10 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.556
  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.
