Busy Bees Sutton is an amazing nursery. The staff really care about the children and go above and beyond for them. The management is excellent and we are kept fully informed as to what is happening. The food the chef cooks is great and we get jealous when we hear the meals our little boy is eating!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, I will be sure to pass on the feedback to all the staff team including the chef!

My two daughters have been attending the nursery since they turned one. The staff are really helpful and supportive of my daughters' needs. My eldest will leave the nursery to attend reception in September 2021 and the staff ensured she will be fine for the next stage giving her extra help around her
social skills and other developmental aspects which we can already see the results. My youngest will be at the nursery for another 2 years and is really happy to be at the nursery. I highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn’t be happier with the nursery for making my little one comfortable and happy every day. He started during the pandemic and settled in quite slowly. But after 1 month spent in the nursery, he started to enjoy it more and more. I’m really pleased that the nursery doesn’t only pay attention to
ensuring a variety of activities for children, have created a welcoming environment but they make sure that the food is nutritious and tasty. My little boy never comes home hungry.

Really a team of very good staff. My 2 years old daughter loves to go to the nursery. In fact, on weekend she will take her bag and will ask for nursery, now you can imagine how well she must be treated at Busy Bee that she doesn't want to stay home.

Our overall experience with the nursery has been extremely good. Our grandson started nursery in October 2019 and within 3-4 weeks he started feeling at home with the nursery carers. There has been tremendous improvement in his speech as well. All the credit goes to the carers working with him in 'Bumbles'.

The care and education our child has received has been of a high standard, with her milestones being regularly updated and communicated home via the parentzone app.
The staff are all lovely and manage to express a sense of individual care for each child.

Both my children currently attend the nursery, they absolutely love their key workers and don't object to going as a result.
All the staff are caring and supportive and the Deputy Manager is an absolute superstar - she is one of the most helpful people I have ever come across and absolutely amazing
with all the children.
The chef is also clearly very talented since my children rarely leave anything at lunchtime!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to a friend.

My son loves going to nursery.
The teachers are caring and professional and the children feel very comfortable around all the staff.
There are lots of different activities every day including baking, growing plants and making trips.
My boy has become very independent since joining the nursery and
he has improved socially and academically.
I would definitely recommend it to others.

The hardest thing is to leave your little baby at Nursery but with the excellent care and attention to detail the staff at Treetops (Sutton) make you feel at ease and help you and your little one to adjust so well into nursery life. The staff are fantastic.


We loved the homely atmosphere of this

nursery, excellent cleanliness and the layout of rooms tailored to each age group. Various daily activities are prepared for the children and assessments are carried out from the baby stage and records kept of progress of your child, which you have access to anytime. Yes, we have parents evenings at Nursery too!


The staff have always been helpful with regards to any issues that arise and quick to address these. If you are unhappy with anything they are so approachable and encourage you to speak to them at any time.


Overall we are so happy to have found such a lovely environment for our little one to go to every day.

My daughter (aged 2) has had an excellent experience here since starting at 10 months. The staff are kind and fun, and she has had such a positive experience attending. She can be quite shy and they have really worked to grow her confidence and encourage her to participate. Recommended.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was nine months old, and she is now 19 months - she LOVES it! Not only that, but myself and my husband LOVE it! She has grown so much as a person, and they have really helped in her development and in nurturing her too. The organisation within
the nursery is to the highest of standards, and they definitely understand my daughter next to myself. They give her so much love and support, along with showing us as her parents the same as well. Our daughter seems to be going through a bit of a stubborn phase, however mentioning the names of her key workers seems to stop the misbehaving and encourage her to get ready and leave the house with no problems at all - because she really, really looks forward to going in. To see her happy little face when we leave her there, as well as when we pick her up - this nursery goes above and beyond and I would completely recommend it to any parent who is looking for a nursery for their child!

Treetops nursery Sutton is a fantastic nursery that I cannot recommend highly enough.
My son loves attending and settled quickly.
He engages in a variety of activities, crafts, baking, singing and outdoor play.
All staff are friendly and know my son well, even those who have never looked after him.
He
sleeps and eats well there and is a very happy little boy!

Treetops is a lovely nursery, I'm very pleased with it. My son has been attending for almost a year, he settled very well and since then he is always happy to stay in the mornings and very often, he doesn't want to leave in the afternoon. This tells me how much he enjoys being in Treetops. The managers
and staff are very friendly, caring and polite. We always received a warm welcome and my son is always addressed by his name by all. I'm always told about my son's day with great detail. They always keep us informed my email about what's going on in the nursery and the communication has always been friendly and professional. The facilities are wonderful, big rooms, clean and nicely decorated and the outside area is lovely.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Busy Bees Sutton 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.880 for Busy Bees Sutton is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.88
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Sutton is based on 12 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
