Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I continue to be impressed by the care and attention given to my son when he attends nursery. Staff give individualised care paying attention to my child's needs, in particular, recently his physical health and language development.


Staff are always friendly and welcoming to me as well as my son.

I remain ever grateful to all of the nursery nurses at Treetops who enable me to go to work. Thank you.

The girls that look after my son are brilliant, he loves coming to nursery and talks about the girls and looks forward to seeing them again. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and are all brilliant with the children. I would recommend anyone to have their children cared for at Treetops.

I am really happy with the staff here who care for my son which he has developed so much. He started here not liking to leave my side and now he loves coming. He has always got a big smile on his face. I am so happy with the nursery and I wouldn't change it! I will be gutted when he starts school because
the staff are brilliant with him!

My son has been in Clever Crocs for just over 3 months now. He has come on a lot since moving over. Despite the recent changes to the nursery and staff it has not affected him at all.

I love Treetops Oakwood my children attend here and they love it. Even on the days they don't attend they ask to come in. Couldn't ask for better people/staff to look after my children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child spends a full 5day week at Treetops and has done for almost 2 years. It really is amazing to see the benefit of such intense interaction with the other children. The carers are always helpful and I feel convinced that he leaves having had a great day.
Having had to choose from 3 nurseries
in the local area, all classed as Ofsted 'Good' it was so pleasing to see Treetops turn 'Outstanding' this year.

Both my girls attended this setting from eight months of age. The fact they have a welcoming entrance, the staff's knowledge and skills are outstanding, the trips in the local areas to the library and park have a great impact, glad this nursery was chosen for us. Happy environment, my children's needs
are always met at drop off. My Grandma was invited in for a Grandparents workshop, which went down in wonder within the family and made a Grandparent truly happy.

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.
