Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Busy Bees since he was 12 months old and is now two and a half. We couldn’t be more pleased with his care. The staff are all welcoming and friendly and seem to know all the children across all rooms. Staff turnover has been very low for a long time. The constant familiar faces
make for such a friendly and secure environment for the little ones and ensure the transitions between rooms aren’t difficult. The management team are excellent and very approachable.
Our son is always having a brilliant when we collect him, which is lovely to see. The Garden is great and they do such a wide range of activities. He comes home full of songs and stories that he’s learned at nursery, and has even said that one of the staff members is his “favourite friend”. The staff have been extremely sensitive and caring when he has been through tricky phases of separation anxiety.
Busy bees are a very gentle, child-led and play-based environment that our son thrives in.

Amazing nursery with newly refurbished garden. Really dedicated and friendly, warm, professional staff. (Like to thank especially two certain members of staff). 4-year-olds had nursery graduation recently, so well built-in and preparations for the reception year. Excellent.

Review from Luna (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A great nursery whereby the manager goes above and beyond to deliver an exceptional service. The manager leads by example and this can be seen in all areas of the setting from the wealth of knowledge the team have and their proactive and quality of teaching the setting provides.
My child settled into
the nursery very quickly and the time taken with the settling in sessions were a great opportunity to build a rapport with my child's key worker.
The staff are clearly highly motivated and my child consistently produces innovative artwork and creations.
Educationally my daughter has come on leaps and bounds, the social interaction she receives with other children has taught her how to deal with negotiating complex situations, like turn taking, and staff are always keen to discuss her areas of development with myself.


My daughter's dismay at not being able to attend nursery on weekends is a testament to the diligent, caring and hard working team in place.

When asked if I could pop feedback on to the website I was thinking of how I would explain our experience with the Manager and her team and I genuinely couldn’t sum up how happy with are that we picked Treetops. I asked my children how they felt about nursery and one said “I love Nursery, we went to
the park and we hid stones for new children” and the other much smaller said the name of her keyperson and smiled. I think this says it all on what I have to say about the nursery. The experience my children are having at Treetops are amazing and I can not fault the nursery, my children come home each day with someone new to say or what they learnt. I get to see all of their lovely days on a app on my phone and get to see them learning and smiling. As a parent I’m proud to say I made the right choice for them both. The Manager and her team work so hard and love them dearly and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

My Son is happy at nursery. The manager and her senior team are very helpful and professional. I always get full reviews on what he is up to and how he has been. He has delayed speech and the team have worked well to support his learning. There has been quite a rotation of staff but the manager has
kept us abreast of the reasons. They have tackled tricky things like a broken door. Well done.

We are pleased with the progress our Daughter has made from initially not wanting to come to nursery, she now enjoys coming. Since moving upstairs, we have noticed a progressive change in her. I am glad that the nursery noticed that it was time for her to move - shows that the nursery are nurturing
her progress.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderful nursery, after visiting 15-20 nurseries, this was the only one that stood out.


The management team assist and support staff and children which I had noticed was lacking in many other nurseries.


I am particularly impressed with the dedicated weaning menu which ensures babies are given

just as much variety as toddlers at mealtimes.


The nursery is clean and has a homely feel as well as portions which are more ‘school-like’ which is ideal for my son as I’d like him to be comfortable and settled but still get used to a school environment so this is not a shock when he eventually moves.


I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Very pleased with the caring nature of the staff at Treetops. My son has come on a huge amount in terms of confidence and language since he has been here. I feel there is a good focus on development specific to the child and I appreciate the information I am given and how my child has been and what
he has been doing during the day.

My son has been very happy at Treetops. The staff were patient with him as he was settling in and give me helpful feedback at the end of each day. They have recently introduced Spanish to the timetable of learning and my son loves the Spanish songs and the puppet. The children recently went on a trip
to Bushy Park and they also play outside in the garden. They also have a pet rabbit called Ginger! The children do painting, music, mark making, yoga, numbers and stories often according to themes. At Christmas, there was a wonderful Christmas play with a party tea and dancing afterwards where parents were invited. The manager is good at listening to the parents' feedback and making improvements where they are needed. The communication with parents is regular and there is a monthly newsletter.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since moving into the local area I've been to a few NCT groups and they recommended Treetops. My son (13 months) has been attending since last February and I must say I'm very pleased with the overall atmosphere the Treetops team provides.


Their communication with myself and my husband regarding

our child's development is second to none.
They've been very professional throughout all areas of contact and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others in search of a good daytime nursery.


For the facilities and classes available. The value for money is excellent. Highly recommended.

My child attends treetops Teddington and we joined in December 2017. My child has really come out of his shell and has a great bond with the staff. He has recently come home speaking Spanish, as they are learning it at nursery. The communication is great and the management team are very helpful with
this. As a parent, I feel very comfortable leaving my son there and my wife and I plan to put our youngest into the baby room next year. As of this, I couldn’t recommend it any better.

My daughter goes to the nursery and I couldn't be any happier leaving her here. All staff are amazing and show really good care to my daughter and show her the attention she needs.
My daughter has a great bond with her key person which is lovely to see. I get told about her day and what she's eaten
and now get loads of art work to bring home. The nursery has had a big turn over since the new manager has been there, which is a great improvement and I can see that all staff are happy and the whole nursery itself has improved. Would definitely recommend parents to have a look around and visit if looking to take their little ones to a nursery.

My daughter attends the Treetops Nursery at Teddington and is always excited to see her friends and teachers. I particularly like the weekly communication from management giving us an update about the nursery each week. The email involves staff updates to what the children are doing, which makes me
feel so confident in leaving them in their care.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.304)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.304) out of 10 for Busy Bees Teddington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.571 for Busy Bees Teddington is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.571
  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 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Teddington is based on 11 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.733
  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.
