Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've sent my daughter to Tree Tops in Dudley for just over 2 years now and I have never been anything but impressed by the care and teaching provided. All the staff are really nice and the facilities for the children are fantastic. I would recommend Treetops in Dudley to any parent looking for a nursery
setting for their child.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.712) out of 10 for Busy Bees Dudley 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.806 for Busy Bees Dudley is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.806
  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 3.906 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Dudley is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.306
  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.

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2009

I have worked for the Busy Bees family since 2009 and in those years I have gained experience in various nurseries within the company. In January 2018 I moved back to manage Dudley after a 4-year management position at Busy Bees - Kings Heath.


I have completed a Diploma in Childcare and Education, a Level 3 in Management, Paediatric First Aid & First Aid at Work. I am also the named Designated Safeguarding Lead within the nursery.


I love coming to nursery every day as no day is the same. I enjoy getting involved in all the amazing activities we have to offer and being a part of every child's learning and development. We have a wonderful staff team who strive to deliver the very best quality in everything they do.


My aim is to support and guide my staff team into delivering outstanding childcare to ensure that every child that attends our setting has the very best start in life.


I look forward to welcoming you and your family into our beautiful and friendly nursery in Dudley.
