We are really happy with the care our son gets at the nursery. We love getting the updates from the staff and he seems to love it there. Always comes home happy and tired.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has recently moved into the Reigate area and has needed childcare which is nearer to her for her 2 yr old daughter. After visiting many nurseries in the area, she eventually chose Busy Bees.
I live out of the area and visit regularly and often collect my granddaughter from the nursery,
what a pleasant experience it is! The management and staff in reception are friendly and helpful and initially show you what room to collect from. The staff in the room also are very informative on what my granddaughter has been up to regarding eating, sleeping and activities etc. On the whole, I would recommend this nursery as the care she receives is fantastic, she always comes home happy and chatting about her day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Had a look around this nursery for my son a few months ago. We looked at other nurseries in the area and can't believe the contrast in them all.
This nursery is like a home away from home. My son has been going for the last 3 months now and he is one very happy little boy. Always talking about what
he learnt that day and what he is bringing home. We couldn't be happier with the level of service we have received from the staff and managers there.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The management team are excellent - engaged, provide frequent communications, are quick to respond to questions or issues and genuinely interested in the children. The staff themselves are extremely caring and have been engaged in both our children's development. It's lovely to see how happy our children
are going to nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going here for 3 years and we have seen a vast improvement in the nursery. Everyone is very friendly and take great care of all the children. She has made many friends there and always loves going in the morning. It has been such a help to us knowing that our daughter is looked
after and is learning. To cap it all off its a short walk down the road. Fantastic.

My LO has been attending Busy Bees for over a year now and i couldn't be happier. The staff are so friendly and welcoming in the mornings that i feel safe when i drop her off.
The staff give me constant feedback from her day and the attention to detail which they give is amazing. I couldn't thank
them enough for all they have done for my LO, once again absolutly amazing.

Review from Samantha G (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends this nursery since he was 11months old he is now 3, I have no complaints, management is fantastic, along with all of the staff at this nursery they are all so caring, and really have a great bond with the children. My son is in the pre school room but still gets lots of cuddles and attention
when he sees the other nursery nurses from previous rooms.
The meals he gets are all freshly cooked and they have a fantastic menu.
All the rooms are brightly coloured with children's pictures and well set out play areas, and fun filled days.
My boy comes home very happy and always eager to tell me what his been doing. The pre school room are doing excellent in preparing him for school this September and have a fantastic room manager!
The garden area could be improved which I know is on the agenda but they make the most of the space they currently have.
Overall I think this is a fantastic nursery and would highly recommend

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.278)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.278) out of 10 for Busy Bees Reigate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.688 for Busy Bees Reigate is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.688
  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 3.59 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Reigate is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.215
  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.
