As a first time mum, I was apprehensive about leaving my child and returning back to work! However the entire staff and the atmosphere of the nursery made it that much more easier. Within a week of my daughter attending, I noticed such a difference in her, from her eating to her communication skills.
A great establishment and highly recommend it.

My daughter went to this nursery for five months before starting reception, and I must say I wish she could stay longer! This is a great nursery, the staff are excellent, caring and always supportive. I can see the change in my daughter and how confident she has become over time. Would highly recommend
it.

Our son went to this nursery for about 18 months and he only stopped as we moved out of London. The management and team have been amazingly supportive throughout the experience (which for us, started in the depths of covid lockdowns etc!) Communication and responsiveness to any questions, calls or worries
are super fast and they are very proactive in talking with us about anything related to our son. He really enjoys going there and has formed great relationships with the staff and all of his key workers as he has moved around rooms etc. Would highly recommend it! Thank you, team!

Our daughter is about to graduate from the nursery and start reception and we will be really sad to say goodbye to this place. The staff are absolutely brilliant and really care about the children - our daughter will miss them all very much. We have been really pleased with the communication, the level
of learning support, the fun and friendly atmosphere, the facilities, and the genuine concern and interest taken in our daughter. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

What a fantastic 4 years we’ve had with this nursery. Our boy absolutely loves it and he will surely miss it once he goes to school. The facilities are great, the staff are amazing, friendly and very caring. I really enjoy getting daily updates and photos showing the fun activities of the day. I would
definitely recommend it!

I am very happy with the nursery. Excellent communication and the staff are all brilliant. Our son has been going to the nursery for the past 6 months and I really feel he is being supported, encouraged to communicate, and is well taken care of. Over time, he has really picked things up and every day
that he goes to nursery he surprises us with new words or new actions, and we are so grateful for all the hard work of all staff and management. They took a keen interest in our son's 2-year developmental review and we felt even more coordinated and supported by the staff. Would highly recommend it.

My son has been in the nursery for almost a year now and we are having a very positive experience. I was concerned at first about his adaptation as he spoke little English and everyone was new to him, but the nursery team did a wonderful job welcoming and integrating him. He is always in a good mood
when I pick him up and he often mentions going back to school when we have holidays. Whenever he mentions that he does not want to go to nursery, we just remind him of the activities and people he will see there and he becomes interested in going again. He really doesn't want to miss out on the time he has there, indicating that it is a fun and positive environment. Another great thing is how easy it is to reach out to the nursery team and get a reply about any concerns or needs, they also reach out to us when needed. They are very attentive to the child's needs and helpful.

Both my children have been to The Worcester Park nursery - my eldest was there when it became The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School and the changes and improvements have been absolutely incredible. My daughter has been going for the last 14 months or so and loves it. Her confidence has grown,
her speech and development have come on in leaps and bounds and she's always happy to go. The staff are incredible, always warm and welcoming, chatty and very helpful if I ever need anything.

My toddler loves it. He developed very quickly with his caretaker and peers. My kid is at his monster age but still enjoys the nursery and I think others are enjoying too. Several times when I pick up my kid I heard parents are thanking the staff at the door. There is a high demand for places, and I
heard they increased the number of staff to accommodate the staff to kid ratio.

This nursery are absolutely fantastic. My son has been attending this nursery since May 2021, as I was returning back to work. The staff are always super friendly and helpful and they are very caring and loving towards the children. My son has developed so much here and they have taught him to talk,
how to use cutlery and eat well and he has so much fun there. The renovation is really good in there and everything is new and clean. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering it.

My son has been attending the nursery since January 2021 and he is very happy there – it feels like a second home to him. He’s always very happy to be dropped off in the morning. All of the staff are friendly and supportive and they provide him with lots of care. I’m always kept up to date and also
via the nursery app that will give you details of his day. It is very reassuring to be at work and know your child is having fun. I would recommend any parent to send their child to the Worcester Park nursery.

Both my elder son and now younger son have attended the nursery. We have been very happy with the learning and care provided to both our children. Staff are always welcoming. Now the area inside the nursery looks more organised and spacious, also the website is a good addition to keep us updated on
the daily progress of our children.

I am so happy with my little one at this nursery. Fabulous recent refurbishment inside the building, excellent communication, and the staff are all brilliant, many of whom have been there for years (which I think speaks volumes about how lovely this nursery is). My 4-year-old starts school in September,
and I really feel he is getting excellent preparation, whilst also having loads of fun. He is so happy here, and we are so grateful for all the hard work of all staff and management; they do a truly outstanding job. Would highly recommend it.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly three years and has loved her time there. She is stimulated by the activities, play and equipment. The staff are an asset and give their utmost care to the children. Everyone is very approachable, and the communication is excellent. We will be very
sad to leave for school, and the nursery will always hold a special place in our hearts. I highly recommend it as a family-orientated and caring nursery.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for two years, she has always enjoyed her time there and has been very well looked after by the lovely staff. Since the new management, the nursery setting has been updated and is much warmer and more homely. The range of activities provided is more focused
on learning and development.

The team that works at Bizzy Bees Day Nursery is amazing. They really do care. I have two kids in there, and I enjoy working peacefully knowing that while I am at work, my children are safe, having lots of fun and learning. Nursery communicates with parents well and gives lots of updates including sweet
pictures. Really recommend.

I have been using this nursery form last 4-years for my two kids. Since the new management this year, it has drastically improved its services. The communication is very clear, prompt and friendly. We are kept updated with the child's progress on daily basis. The new decor made the nursery clean, spacious
and bright. Staff are friendly, helpful and caring. The quality of learning and food is great. I particularly like the idea of surprise art and craft bag she brings home from the nursery, which means the nursery cares about kids development even if they are not in the nursery.
Nursery seems to be flexible in an emergency situation and happy to accommodate. The location of the nursery is great as very close to the station and market.
My daughter absolutely loves her carers and nursery.
I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and thriving place for their child.

We are very pleased with the take over of Bizzy Bees. The core strengths of the nursery remain. This is a small environment with a real family feel. My daughter has an individual relationship with every single staff member at the nursery, who have been rightfully retained. She has never once been reluctant
to attend since starting 2 years ago at 8 months. She looks forward to going in and sharing news with staff and friends. ("Nursery woo hoo!" is a common phrase in our house). I know that she feels safe, secure and nurtured by everyone in the setting. Her development is clear and she has formed wonderful friendships with the other kids. As a parent, I find the management extremely flexible and responsive. New additions from the recent investment, like the app, provide more insight than there was in the past as to what she had eaten and all important milestones with potty training, which makes it easy to be consistent at home. We remain thrilled with everything.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.793 for Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.793

  • b) 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 Little Garden The Worcester Park Day Nursery & Pre-School 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
