Our daughter is very happy at this nursery and looks forward to going every morning. Despite not being able to go into her room, we get good feedback from the staff when we pick her up and are particularly happy with the information shared on the parents’ app, which also includes photos and descriptions
of the activities they have been engaged in. The staff are all very encouraging and friendly.

Our daughter loves Treetops nursery, and it's so nice to see her excited to go in every morning. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and have a great relationship with parents and children. During the lockdown, we haven't been able to go inside the nursery, but we've been kept up to date with
all the fun activities through the app, and we feel really confident that our daughter will be safe and happy while she's in their care.

During these extremely challenging times, Treetops and the staff have provided a very high standard of care for my child. Staff to parent communication has improved after recent feedback. I would definitely recommend this nursery. My child is very happy here and has developed lots since starting this
nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been at this nursery since he was 11 months old and has moved up through the various different rooms. Whilst we were in lockdown he had a break from nursery and has only recently returned. The ladies there have been absolutely wonderful in helping him to settle back in and have always
responded to my every request. After each session, I am given a breakdown of what he has eaten, what activities he has been doing and even how many times he has been to the toilet. After just 2 weeks back at nursery, I can already see that he has learnt so much and this will certainly help him when he starts school. He always talks about the ladies at nursery and as soon as we leave he is talking about going back the next day! The team are so welcoming and friendly and I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
Reply from Becky Chester, Assistant Manager at Busy Bees Toton
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad your little boy has settled back into nursery and supporting him with his development and watching him flourish.

I've got two children at the nursery, they are both incredibly happy here, they started when they were both very young. The love and care that you can see shine through them is thanks to the ladies that work here. I'm so glad they have a few more years at nursery to get nurtured even more to become
the fine, well-shaped young children that I know the nursery produces!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is a great surrounding for our daughter to grow and develop. The children are split into four rooms by age and this helps them socialise with people their own age. At the time of writing this, they have an outstanding Ofsted rating. All the staff are friendly and kind. Our daughter has built
relationships with all of them and we trust then to look after her and do what's best.

All the staff at the nursery ensure that my child receives the best possible care, and plan around my child to meet her care needs. The staff are also very friendly and approachable and I get feedback after every session, so I know what my child has been up to.

My daughter has been at Treetops since she was 6 months old until recently moving to school.
Under the expert guidance of the team, I have seen our little girl develop, grow and flourish!
The support has been tailored as she became older but has always been at the correct pace to support her. The
staff are genuinely caring, knowledgeable and attentive to her needs. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 10 months old, the level of care has always been high but if I have ever had any problems or concerns they have made me feel like I am listened too. I must say that my son's key person has been fantastic since he has been in Crocs, she is a bright
young lady who works hard in preparing my son for school and I am confident he will have a strong start when he attends next September thanks to her.

I have found the staff so friendly and helpful, it is like a big family. Our granddaughter loves going and looks forward to meeting her friends and staff. I have just watched the nativity play and it was wonderful, no crying form the children, just the mums and dads. Everyone has worked so hard, especially
the staff. Congratulations Treetops.

Always greeted warmly and with a smile from the staff. I find the nursery manager very pleasant, polite and helpful.


I'm very pleased with the care that my daughter receives. The nursery is kept clean and the meals are nutritious. Most importantly my daughter has a lovely time and enjoys herself.

Excellent nursery, staff are great, facilities and activities are great. My daughter loves going and is shattered by bedtime, which is great. Plenty of good food throughout the day also.
My daughter has really come on loads since being at nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 14-month-old son goes to this nursery he loves it and loves the staff, whenever I've been to pick my son up all of the children are really well behaved and polite. I've never seen a member of staff without a smile. When I visited to choose a nursery this one was rated good from Ofsted, I also visited
an outstanding one and there was absolutely no comparison, I knew this one would achieve outstanding. All of the staff know all of the children's names even if they don't work in that room. My son has all home cooked meals at nursery and loves the food. The nursery is always clean.. the baby room is a no shoe policy because of them crawling which I thought was brilliant. The baby room is set up like a living room at home so they get the comforts of home whilst at the nursery. I liked the fact that this nursery doesn't have electronic and plastic toys.. they have wooden toys, shapes, musical instruments and books plus loads of classic good learning toys. Would definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.373)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.373) out of 10 for Busy Bees Toton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.958 for Busy Bees Toton is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.958
  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 4.415 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Toton is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.615
  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.
