My daughter is very happy at nursery and is constantly talking about her friends and teachers.


Her teachers keep me up to date on her progress every time she attends nursery and also on parents evenings.


She is happy to be left every morning.

We think Treetops is a good nursery. We like the way the way the staff make us feel. The manager has spent time working with the team and there has been a great improvement in the activities and resources. You can see she is very hands on and is always supporting. The team provide the best care. The
team have made my child's day exciting and he is always learning new things. We have seen a lot of change up till October and now feel there is a consistent staff team who work hard.

We have recently joined Treetops at the start of January and my little girl could not be happier. The staff team have really worked carefully with each other to manage her sleep routine. They always give me a detailed handover and you receive a day sheet with a breakdown of their day. She loves her
keyworker who is very friendly. They always have regular trips out to the park each week or the library. The children are always happy and then the staff team are very helpful. The nursery is always content home from home nursery and you really feel part of a network and a community. I'm very happy with my choice as a parent for my little girl.

I bought my grandson along to one of the messy play sessions - it was brilliant. The manager welcomed us and my grandson immediately warmed to her, which is very unusual. The staff were great and he had a brilliant time - not wanting to leave. We are considering approximately 2-3 nearly full days per
week.

We joined Treetops a few months ago and we are glad we made this choice, the staff team are helpful and supportive. The manager is knowledgeable and flexible who spent time with us as parents getting to really understand what we wanted from a nursery place. As this is our first child, we were always
uneasy about leaving him but he soon settled in well as the process was well managed and thorough. We went to look at several nurseries before feeling that this was home for our little one. This shows right from the start with the warm "Hello. How are you today"? you receive from the manager in the office right through to the staff team within the rooms who always greet us with a friendly smile and chat about our weekend or morning. The whole team including management know our child as if they was there own. We can not recommend this nursery enough they have met all of our expectations. We are very happy with our choice and look forward to seeing our child grow with help from a supportive and lovely team.

I have recently joined Treetops Nursery Teddington and they have worked so hard with me to ensure that my little boy has settled. The staff team and manager have worked around my child's weaning and sleeps as he is only 6 months and is not currently in any routine and they have supported me and him
in every way. The settling in period was great and was really flexible to suit my boy's needs. The activities area is well set up every morning I go to drop off and they do a great range of sensory play for younger babies.

We are both very happy as parents at Treetops Nursery. Our child is well looked after and is safe and secure. She has a great bond with everyone and the staff team support her every way, they also take her out on regular trips to a range of places such as the Tetbury Bushy Park and to the local shops.
The teaching in pre-school is a good standard and she comes home every day with something new she has learnt. The manager has great communication with the parents sending out weekly emails and newsletters.

Treetops Nursery has always been a good place for our child. He is content and the environments are full of new ideas. The food is a good quality and they change the menu regularly to suit around allergies as our child has a tailored diet that the team work around. I feel that the nursery has an excellent
system with security and I can see that staff will not allow anyone into the building which makes me feel reassured that my child is safe. Overall a very happy and good quality nursery.

I have a 9-month baby who attends nursery 3 days a week! Like most parents, it was very hard to decide what nursery to send him to. The new nursery manager sold the nursery to me! She was so profession and seemed to know her stuff! The girls in the room are all fab too. The nursery team have made it
easier for me going back to work. I know my baby boy is in safe hands.

I have been a parent at Treetops for 2 years now and have seen it through its stages, some good and at times some bad in the sense of staff turnover. However, Treetops have had a big change in leadership and management in the more recent months and they have finally found someone who very much seems
to be leading the team in the right direction. Everyone seems happy and content when you walk into the nursery and the staff are welcoming and warm. They have taught my child to be confident and to try new things which have had a very positive effect. They have exciting activities and they do things I wouldn't have thought of doing with my child. The best part for me is when I get to watch through the window when I leave to go to work and see that my child is in safe hands and is smiling and laughing. The ladies have an amazing bond with my child. The Manager and her team should be very proud of how far they have come.

My son started at Tree Tops after he had trouble fitting in at his previous nursery. I mentioned this to the staff on his first day and they told me not to worry and it can sometimes take a while before they come out of their shell around other children. I came back later that day to pick him back
up and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him. He was playing with the other children he had such a smile on his face I don't think I'll forget. I cannot thank the staff at Tree Tops enough. He has been attending ever since and he gets happier by the day. Sometimes he doesn't want to leave!

I have been coming to this Nursery as a grandparent for a very long time now for over a year and I would like to say that the staff team are very helpful. As an older lady, I sometimes struggle with getting my Granddaughter into the pushchair and down the stairs, the staff team always offer to help
carry her bits out or help me with the pushchair when she wriggles around. The team give good detail of what she has done while at the nursery and she seems to have a good day. I also know how they can accommodate when my daughter needs extra care for my granddaughter. They are flexible and are able to always fit her in at last minute. I think this a very good nursery and would be very happy to recommend this to others.

Treetops is definitely a good nursery in term of teachers and location. In terms of improvement, I believe they can build more on education. Or if they do, they can share what they teach kids.

Both my children used to attend this nursery. My eldest child has now left but was there for 3 years. He loved it and was very happy. By the time my youngest started, there had been a changed of management and new staff. The whole atmosphere has improved. All the staff got their "mojo" back with a change
of leadership. I am more than happy to recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been in this nursery for 3 years (since she was 6 months old) and she developed immensely during that time. She has very special relationship with her first key carer and she has taken some habit from her. All the staff know my daughter so well and that is why I am certain that they
will take care of her.
We have open dialogue regularly on what would be best for my daughter and Treetops help and expertise help me educate my daughter properly. Thanks to this nursery I'm confident that my daughter is ready for big school.

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.
