I think that this is an amazing nursery that my daughter attends. The staff are very friendly and my daughter enjoys her days here on a week to week basis. They had a fantastic Christmas dinner set up for the children and parents to share. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe
and friendly environment for there child to learn and progress and socialize. :)

Lovely environment and setting for the children. Great indoor and outdoor resources with lots of opportunities for the children to explore and discover through play. The pre-school room is a great space!!!

It is a new and spacious nursery with very friendly staff and nurses who have a genuine interest in the children's preferences. They make sure that my child goes to sleep even though it was difficult during the first couple of weeks. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this nursery for toddlers,
being a mom of a 9-month old baby girl.

Out of the nursery’s my nephew has attended, this one tops them all. The resources are amazing and the staff are great. He goes to the garden every day and loves the big sand pit they have. The management team are helpful and friendly and my nephew is keen to go every day.

The facilities are brand new and everything looks quite nice and clean. Some outdoor space, where kids are taken outside everyday.
The staff is friendly and generally very nice and caring.
The food is cooked on daily basis on site.

My daughter has attended The Battersea Nursery since she was 11 months old and I could not be happier with the outcome. The setting is modern and clean and the staff is extremely caring and professional. My daughter is always happy when I pick her up at the end of the day. I definitely recommend this
nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brand new nursery! Bright big rooms, lovely toys (e.g. lots of wooden toys, books, water and sand tables, dress-up, musical instruments and many more).
Nice outdoor play area (kids have designated areas outdoors depending on age group - so small ones are not getting run over by bigger kids).


Very

nice, loving and caring staff. My daughter is very fond of them and always has a great time.


Lots of activities planned.


They provide everything. Change of clothes, nappies, wipes, wellies, rain clothes etc.


Soon will even offer meals to take home.


Very happy with this nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am absolutely delighted with the staff at Busy Bees Battersea Nursery. I find all of them to be extremely accommodating to my little girl's needs. They actually discipline the children in a friendly manner so essentially they are doing half of my job, to which I am forever grateful! The security system
in place is outstanding, I was given a tiny device at the start allowing me access to the second door into the building so no fuss on door codes etc. I especially love the Parentzone website which provides me and my husband with an insight of my little one's day at the nursery with images uploaded and updates of her personal development online whilst I'm at work. I have had my child at the nursery for the past 1 month and half but already I have noticed the positive difference in her behaviour and development. As a mother who was initially extremely sceptical of taking my toddler to nursery, I can firmly say that I would undoubtedly recommend any mother I know to this super clean, super trendy 5* nursery.

Great, modern and clean set up with lots of room for our kids to play in both in and outdoors. This is made even better by very friendly and experienced staff. We have two kids there full time and they are always very attentive to each of them. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

My little one started Busy Bees in September and has settled in really well and quickly. Staff are always warm and friendly and great if little one is feeling unsettled. Facilities are fantastic with so many activities for children to enjoy in such a big bright space. Parents Portal Online is a great
idea to see day to day progress and photos. Would recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.691) out of 10 for Busy Bees Battersea Nursery and Pre-School 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.931 for Busy Bees Battersea Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.931
  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 3.76 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Battersea Nursery and Pre-School is based on 5 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.26
  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.
