Review from Catherine G (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter joined Busy Bees Cheam Park when the nursery was fairly newly opened and she had just turned three. My son joined the nursery nine months later when he was 12 months old. We have been very happy with the care the team have given to both children and they have been happy at the nursery. The
setting is lovely - clean, welcoming and really well resourced. The food they are served is fantastic - they get a wide range of healthy, nutritious food - I'm usually envious when I hear what they have eaten during the day!
I would recommend Busy Bees Cheam Park to anyone looking for a great setting for their child to learn, develop and make great friends, and a high level of care.

Really nice nursery, new and clean, my child enjoys it. Think investment in air conditioning is required and to be conscious of fee increases each year (5% and 7%).

My son really enjoys nursery. The staff are all lovely. The food is varied and healthy. My son has made a lot of friends and they do a lot of activities. He comes home and tells me all about his day and what he has learnt. The facilities are great and he loves time in the garden.

Our daughter absolutely loves Busy Bees - she can't wait to go in of a morning and is always super cheerful when we collect her. The key workers are all amazing, they work as a team and create a safe 'family' where everyone knows everyone, which is lovely to see. Since joining at 11 months, our daughter,
now 27 months, has flourished in developing her social skills and is clearly progressing well against her other milestones, as her regular observations show!

My son started settling in to this nursery in February and has now finally settled in. The staff have been absolutely amazing helping my little boy settle in. They have been so patient with him and it is so lovely to see how good they are caring for children. My son loves coming to nursery. Thank you
to all the staff!

Review from Justine B (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We came to this lovely new nursery as we knew some key staff members from our older daughter's nursery. It is convenient to park and in a lovely park location. This nursery is new and all the rooms are all well stocked with toys and facilities. Our daughter loves coming here and has made numerous friends
and is learning lots. She likes all the staff and has an excellent bond with her key worker. The food is of a high standard, with lots of fruit and veg and healthy options, but it's not always eaten by our very fussy daughter. She enjoys the gym class, Monkeynastics! Her favourite game at home is to play nurseries and read to all her dolls - she likes to pretend to be the teachers.

We are very happy with the nursery. The team are brilliant at welcoming all the children and ensuring they have a fun-filled day. Our daughter comes home singing alphabet songs and can't wait to start school which we're sure is a reflection on the learning environment here at Busy Bees at Cheam Park.
All the staff know all the children which makes it so easy for the children to have a safe and enjoyable time at nursery.

My daughter always gets really excited when she attends pre-school, she explores all activities her day has to offer. Pre-school offers a wide range of activities from arts and crafts, messy play and cooking.


My daughter really enjoys learning her 'letter of the week' with her pre-school teachers

and will often come home telling me what she has learnt.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I feel my son is safe at the nursery and that he is cared for appropriately. However, I feel that in comparison to other nurseries, the nursery does not quite go the extra mile, for example, friends have stated that their little ones have received a handmade card on their birthdays. Soiled clothing
bags are labelled so parents know whether to expect paint or poo when opening the plastic bag. Staff at other nurseries record what activities the little ones have participated in each day. I would like more variety in the food offered, with fewer biscuits and ice cream offered for babies.

Really happy with my son in the baby room and the nursery. He has settled in really well and seems to really enjoy his time at the nursery. It is a lovely atmosphere and he seems to be happy when I pick him up up each day.

I am so happy with this brand new nursery. My son has settled in so well, asks to go on his days off and never want to leave when he is there! The nursery is lovely, modern and clean and the staff are all so friendly and kind to my son and me.
I would recommend to anyone very pleased.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.720) out of 10 for Busy Bees Cheam Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.838 for Busy Bees Cheam Park is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.838
  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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Cheam Park is based on 15 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.882
  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.
