Review from Zenub C (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very pleased with this nursery. Staff are incredibly warm, friendly and loving across all rooms. Impressed to see a young male staff carer too. Management team is equally fantastic. Warm and always accommodating, whenever need be.


We had started my daughter in the baby room at 14 months. We were

very happy with the care but I guess she was just not ready then. Hence, we rejoined her when she was around 22 months old. They advised starting with the toddlers room and this time she settled in less than a week.


They have a fun, clean environment, serve nice hot food and introduce plenty of creative activities that help them learn things. At first, my girl would hardly ever eat and now she finishes the entire meal on her own. The apps are very helpful too and we have regular updates on it with detailed feedback about the child’s progress once every month. Can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Excellent nursery - each room - for babies, toddlers and preschoolers is well designed and maintained. All the staff are very friendly and warm. Hot food options and healthy snacks provided throughout the day. Activities planned and thoughtful. Management is very kind and approachable. Very pleased
with entire time of 3.5 years that my child attended. Thank you!!

Review from Claire T (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended this nursery for a short period of time. Whilst we were there the staff were very warm and welcoming. Management was always greeting you with smiles and asking how I was. My daughter really enjoyed her time at nursery and for unfortunate reasons, we had to take her out due to us
moving across London.
All the girls made a lot of effort with my daughter not just the ones in baby room. They reassured me that she would be okay and if there was anything wrong they would call me. They stuck to their word and it was clear the love they all had for the children and their jobs!!! I would highly recommend this nursery not just for the amazing staff they have, but for the progress my daughter made whilst attending!!

Review from Haarish K (Father of Child) published on 15 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with Treetops for over a year and what started as an appointment by accident to view the nursery ended up being a good decision for us. The team left no stone unturned to meet his needs after he joined the nursery from India. They were meticulous in their approach to ensure he acclimatised
to the environment as well as quickly understood the ways and needs at the nursery despite not speaking the language very well. Never has there been a day when he did not want to go and the learnings have been tremendous. We also got to know the various attributes where he has been good at as well as others where he'd have to improve and grow. He has taken a special liking to activities like colouring, singing. The overall environment has been effective in getting him to enjoy every day. There have been no challenges with food choices being a vegetarian. A massive thank you to the staff who have made a massive influence on him.

Review from Mavliuda (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We came to London in September 2017. I was very lucky to find Treetops Nursery in Harrow. When I just entered the building, I liked the atmosphere. As a parent, you know how the child feels and can see whether children are happy and enjoy being in the nursery. The children were happy and having real
fun! I liked their beach, reading and drawing corners.
When we moved to London, my child was speaking only Russian. Everything was new and very stressful. Thanks to the nursery staff in a few weeks my daughter stayed in the nursery without crying and waving me back! Treetops Nursery personnel always give a cuddle, smile and enjoy to be with children. They even learned a few Russian words to communicate with my child! I very much appreciated their approach and attention, which helped my child to love the nursery and start learning English.
I cordially thank Treetops Nursery in Harrow for being so passionate about children, childhood and their job.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child has been attending this nursery for the past three years and the care and support they provide is brilliant. I would have no hesitations with recommending them to friends or family. I recommend a visit to the nursery as you can see what they have to offer and what feels right for your child.

Review from Amy N (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My older daughter (now 5) has spent 3.5 years in this nursery. She was really happy there and had established a close relationship with staff members of the nursery. She has built great confidence and progressed well, and was admitted to a really good independent school last year. The nursery manager
and her staff, whom I get to know, are all helpful and caring and have done a fantastic job to create a lovely environment for the children. My younger daughter (now 16 months old) has joined the nursery last year and has been very well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery.

A big THANK YOU to the Manager and her pre-school team for looking after my 3 year old daughter just like a family would! If it wasn't for us moving home, she would be coming to you until the start of her reception. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.810) out of 10 for Busy Bees Harrow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.864 for Busy Bees Harrow is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.864
  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 3.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Harrow is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.446
  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.
