An idyllic location, fabulous outdoor spaces, and a passionate and highly qualified team are just a few of the reasons that parents choose Busy Bees Cheam Nonsuch over other childcare settings.

Children are cared for in a beautiful purpose-built building on one level.

Refurbished in 2014, the nursery has 4 separate age-dependent rooms and a curriculum devised in line with the EYFS statutory framework. The rooms are bright and airy and enjoy a cosy home-from-home feel, designed to settle and relax babies and children into the nursery environment.

The passionate childcare team delivers a programme of stimulating and exciting activities and experiences to navigate children through key childhood milestones. From arts and crafts, messy play and sensory play to a home corner and role play there’s lots to do to challenge enquiring minds.

Though fun is the order of the day every day, staff begin to gently introduce more structure in the preschool rooms and deliver the foundations parents expect for lifelong learning – phonics, literacy and elemental mathematics plus key social skills to help little ones become confident and independent.

My child returned back to nursery in September from lockdown. She has made huge progress in her learning the girls are amazing in there. I always receive such an informative handover of her day and always send photos of my child through the day of her taking part in focus activities, free play, garden
time. As a parent seeing these whilst being at work is the best feeling ever to know how happy she is at Busy Bees at Cheam Nonsuch.

I am so happy that my daughter attends this nursery. I am constantly impressed by the caring nature, professionalism and diligence of the staff who work here. My daughter is very happy here and that is the main thing but from a parent perspective, one thing that puts my mind at ease and something I
never really expected is the way in which the staff take the time to stand with me when I collect my daughter and run me through her day in great detail. It is honestly so nice to hear how she is progressing and how important her development is to all the staff. When you put your child in a nursery it’s never easy but putting my daughter in this nursery has been a wonderful decision. Thank you Busy Bees at Cheam Nonsuch.

From her first day to the last day my daughter has loved this nursery. They have given her a great start and certainly helped with lots of milestones such as walking, talking, making friends, potty training etc. She is such a kind warm, confident little girl and I really thank you for your input into
the little person she is today. Lovely rooms, great staff team, brilliant manager and overall would highly recommend it.

My daughter has settled in really well in nursery since the early days. She loves coming here every morning and when I pick her up, she is always happy and never wants to leave. The staff are all amazing, very caring and always smiling. The reports and photos we receive frequently on the app are well
appreciated and really good. I love the nursery and would definitely recommend it to my friends (as I already have done.)

My kids have been attending the nursery for almost a year now. They have been enjoying the nursery very much and want to go in on the weekends too. Very friendly staff. Children are given a varied range of activities which they learn from and enjoy as well. Their language has improved a lot (they didn't
even know English at all when they joined.) Their social skills are improving. Very caring and understanding staff. My daughter can already write her name. I am very happy with the nursery and highly would recommend.

What a lovely nursery!
My son has been at this setting now for over a year and has been in both the Bumbles and Buzz rooms. Staff in both rooms are excellent. Whenever there is an issue, the nursery director is always on hand to listen, provide reassurance and solutions. Our Key Worker is EXCEPTIONAL
and we are very lucky to have her. She works in close partnership with us and makes us feel as though she wants nothing but the best for our child. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter loves being at nursery. The staff are very caring and we are watching her flourish.
Through COVID, communication and understanding from staff and management has been fantastic, taking away a potential source of stress. Thank you all for your hard work, care, flexibility and open communication.

I cannot say enough positive things about the manager and the team at Busy Bees. They offered an emergency 3-month placement to my 2-year-old son over the Corona crisis as I am a keyworker working in child protection and needed to get back to the frontline. They immediately treated me and my son as
part of the family, my son had never been to a nursery setting before and I was worried it would feel impersonal, but I needn’t have worried, within two days he was trotting in without a backward glance. Every afternoon he’d come home singing songs and chatting about the staff. He’d wake up in the mornings asking to see them! They kept me updated throughout the day, and they were endlessly flexible in extraordinary circumstances. I am so sad our time at Busy Bees has come to an end but I would not hesitate recommending them to any prospective parents. Thanks, to the manager and the rest of the wonderful staff.

Review from Rosemary S (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started attending Busy Bees Nonsuch in July within the Bombos 1 room. Management and staff have gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter has settled in well, asking lots of details about our routine, my daughter's likes and dislikes and a bit about our background. This for me made
me feel at ease that they were really getting to know everything about her, they have also kept me up to date regularly to ensure that the process for me has been a stress-free and easy one. From the moment I walked into the nursery for my show around I knew that it was the nursery for us, everyone was friendly and welcoming and from the moments that I saw on our walk around I could see how loving and nurturing the staff were to the children within their nursery and how they tried to make us feel at ease in every room we walked into. I have also really loved the updates I get regularly through the app on meals, nappies and also observations and assessments on her development.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was eight months old and all the staff have always been so warm and welcoming to her. She has come on leaps and bounds in her confidence, talking and socialising. Potty training was made easy with the help of the staff and they are always so encouraging
with her. She has always been so happy with her key people in each room and I have always had a great relationship with them also.

My little girl attends the Cheam, Nonsuch Nursery in the Bumbo's 2 room and I am thrilled to have her go there. All the staff in there are attentive to her needs and they all know her likes and dislikes. She has recently been quite unwell but the staff have taken such great care of her that I didn't
have to worry at all.
My little girl has also learnt so much at nursery and I am astounded every day with how much she has picked up.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough!! To anyone that is looking for a brilliant nursery with brilliant staff - this is the nursery you have been looking for!

My son has been very happy since starting at Busy Bees. I have found all of the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They utilise a helpful app to keep parents up to date throughout the day and of developmental notes. The facilities are varied and maintained well. The menu is planned very
well, with a high standard of food provided. I have only ever found a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The nursery works hard to involve parents and include them with stay and play days. The children are encouraged to get involved in a great variety of activities and education is worked in well to their days. My son has gained a great deal from attending this nursery and this is in no small part due to their person-centred approach. I have great confidence in the staff here and am very happy with the care that they provide my son with. It is obvious to me that the manager, deputy manager and all of the staff who work with my son genuinely care and safeguard him well.

I viewed a lot of nurseries before choosing Nonsuch and I’m so pleased with our choice. Our little boy has been there nearly 2 years now and we are so happy with the nursery. All of the staff are wonderful and so friendly. They care for the children like they are their own, which is a great comfort.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Both my children attended Treetops from the age of 12 months - my youngest son has just left and we were so sad to say goodbye. The staff are absolutely lovely and give so much care and attention to the children, always coming up with fun, interesting and educational activities for them and celebrating
the uniqueness of every child. The atmosphere is so warm and cosy, it's like a real home from home, and they keep parents updated every day with photos and details of food, naps, nappies, etc. I highly recommend this nursery and we will miss it very much!

Treetops Cheam is outstanding, my daughter has been attending since 10 months old and has loved every day!
The variety of activities the staff do with the children is broad and engaging.
Every day I know exactly what she's done if she enjoyed it and if she did something new. You don't feel like you're
missing a moment of her development.
The staff are fantastic, so personable and supportive, every one of them.

We have been very happy with this nursery, and this is our second child to attend Treetops Nursery (Cheam). We were very happy with the nursery for our first child, and she loved attending and really grew in confidence. It prepared her so well for starting school.
Our second child now also loves
going to nursery, and he is thriving. He is quite a sensitive child, but the gentle and warm care of staff, and generally calm and relaxed environment of the nursery really suits him. I feel relaxed and confident about leaving him. The staff are wonderful.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.444)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.444) out of 10 for Busy Bees Cheam Nonsuch 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 4.842 for Busy Bees Cheam Nonsuch is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.842
  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 4.602 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Cheam Nonsuch 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.602
  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.
