Review from Tyrone G (Father of Child) published on 30 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm genuinely happy with my children attending Treetops, Oakwood.
I have no worries when dropping them off or while they're here, plus my oldest child has nothing but good things to report about his day and the staff.
And I also have positive things for the staff overall.
A quality choice in Treetops,
Oakwood.

Staff at Treetops are amazing.
I have 2 children in different groups and both have settled brilliantly thanks to the help of the staff.
They constantly reassure me if I phone to see how they are and feel my children are in a very loving and safe environment.

I really like this nursery. I feel very confident leaving my baby here, the staff seem lovely, the facilities appear clean and the activities are engaging.


I like how many outdoor activities appear to happen. It is important to me to know he is getting out.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Treetops Oakwood (Derby). She can recall her friend's names, her teachers/helpers and she is always saying how much fun she has. She always looks forward to coming to nursery and can't wait to come again as soon as she has left. She has dinner and she always eats
it and it is always well balanced plus they are always introducing new foods. The Mother's Day tea party was brilliant. My eldest two boys came here and wouldn't have brought my daughter anywhere else.

Attended Funky Friday sessions. Very interactive sessions to help build my baby's confidence when starting nursery. Staff are all very friendly and show a genuine warmth towards the children in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is 7 months and preparing to start at Treetops in May. The Funky Friday sessions have been great at getting my son used to the environment, staff and other children. There are lots of sensory toys to stimulate my son's learning. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. My son seems to have
settled very quickly and I look forward to seeing his continued development over the coming months.

I have been attending the Funky Friday sessions ready for my son to start at the nursery. I have really liked the sessions that have been put on and getting to know the staff and also the opportunity for my son to get familiar with the nursery also.

Extremely welcoming, enthusiastic and professional. The baby room is clean, educational and toys are encouraging to babies. Treetops have also made me feel more secure in the transition period as a new mum thinking about nursery care once I go back to work. I felt an implicit understanding that it was
an emotional time!

I can't thank the nursery staff enough, they are absolutely amazing in helping me with our three children. Our three-year-old has learnt so much since she started since she was seven months, her confidence has grown so much. The twins have come on leaps and bounds, would definitely recommend.

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.
