Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff including management care handle my son's feelings with such a loving and pleasant way I feel 100% happy to leave him at nursery knowing he is cared for so passionately. The staff can't do enough for you to make you feel at ease leaving him there. They send lots of photo's which make me
feel better to see him having such a lovely time and being so happy. Such a lovely homely feeling you get from all the staff. I wouldn't want anyone but the staff ay Busy Bees to look after him.

My daughter loves to come to the nursery all the staff are helpful and friendly. There is always something new that she has done. Her learning has come on, even more, every day she comes home happy and with new skills of learning. Management is absolutely amazing. The manager and deputy manager work
amazing together, it shows by the warm welcome I get.

This is my sons final few months at Treetops, he has had a fantastic journey with the team and I cannot thank the team more for looking after our little boy so well. Special thanks to two nursery ladies for loving him so much. I hope you all have fantastic careers and a happy life.

My grandson has been coming here for nearly a year now. He loves coming and never wants to come home. He only does 2 days a week but really enjoys it. The staff at the nursery are really nice and my grandson is coming on really well thanks to the team who are lovely.

My son loves nursery. He has developed a great relationship with his key worker which is very encouraging. We get picture updates of activities he has done in the day and he always has a smile on his face. His confidence has grown so much since his time here and we look forward to his progression here.

Treetops is an excellent nursery. My son has a really good bond with his new keyworker. Treetops is great value for money and provides an excellent standard of care. The outside play/trips/football/library books opportunities are great. Treetops has an excellent and extremely efficient management team.
Well done, I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My 9-month-old baby has recently started here at Treetops Oakwood (Derby). She has settled in fantastically well thanks to the hard work and effort of the staff that look after her. She has thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities offered having lots of fun throughout! She really enjoys the meals
provided and staff liaise with me daily on what she will be having during her day. I look forward to the daily diary sheet and the lovely things that are written about what she has been up to during her day - they're always so personal and make me smile!

My daughter has been enjoying her time at Treetops ever since she started when she was 2-years old. The staff are super friendly, helpful and I know because I have had a lot of super special requests over the last couple of years. They have ballet class and football as well. As a mother, I am super
happy with the nursery choice I have made.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.939 for Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.939
  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 Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive is based on 19 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 19 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.
