Review from Claire A (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic!!! The staff have given me advice when I've needed. My son loves his days at nursery and I can tell the staff care and love him as if he were their own.
I could not be happier with the care and support they provide.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves coming to nursery, he used to be very shy and reserved but he has come on so much with his confidence. His speech has made a drastic improvement too. The staff are absolutely brilliant and I feel so happy leaving him in their care. His key workers have been particularly brilliant with us.

Our son broke his foot and the staff here were wonderful with him for the 4 weeks he had it on for. They went above and beyond to enable him to still be involved in all activities. They also enabled him to have a shadow, to prevent himself getting anything in the cast and from getting it wet. The staff
are amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child feels very at home at nursery, all of the staff show an interest in their wellbeing and the key person system is fantastic. There are a number of nurseries in the local area and having visited most of them for viewings, it was the staff at Treetops which set it apart, even from the warm welcome
at reception every morning. The recent outstanding Ofsted review is well deserved.

Review from T L (Father of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally really good care of our daughter with excellent staff. The only significant area for improvement is in the administration of our account which has been unsatisfactory at times. (Conflicting information from different staff, unclear invoices which weren't correct and slow to correct some issues.)
Seems to be more a process issue than a people issue and could easily be made so much better. All in all, really happy with Treetops Oakwood Nursery and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The care of my child has been outstanding. They have taken everything on board regarding my son's medical condition and always asked about his care if anything needs adjusting. The staff at the nursery are very friendly and are just like an extension to our family.

Our daughter struggled with being left at the beginning of her nursery days and her key worker had to deal with a lot of tears, but myself and my wife are very grateful or all the hard work from her. Once settled all the nursery staff that our daughter has had contact with have been brilliant in building
and helping our daughter learn. We have been extremely happy with the overall experience we have experienced.

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.
