The Worcester Park Day Nursery (previously Bizzy Bees) is rated Good by Ofsted (January 2020), and offers wonderful and inspiring learning experiences for young children aged 3 months to 5 years in a safe and secure environment.

Located in a spacious building in Longfellow Road, the nursery has a large baby and toddler/preschool room with plenty of sensory activities to encourage the children to learn and have fun with their friends and the experienced staff in the nursery.

The nursery staff want children to have wonderful and inspiring learning experiences, so when it’s time to take the next step in the journey of education and life, they take with them lovely memories of their time at nursery.

We are very happy with the nursery under its new management. Its best original feature – the warm and caring staff – has been retained, which is wonderful, while everything else has been upgraded, especially the communication with parents. We are delighted to receive regular updates about what our daughter
is doing and how she's developing; the Eylog app is brilliant and such a great tool. In a very challenging year, I have a lot of confidence in the job that the management are doing to keep everyone safe and the children's fun experience intact. Our daughter talks about her friends (both children and staff!) all the time and is clearly learning so much from her time there. She bounds out every evening, full of excitement about the things she's been doing. I love what I hear about the combination of child-led and themed or structured activities, and optional home learning is great for giving me ideas, too! All in all, we're delighted with the nursery and would highly recommend it.

Staff have been fantastic looking after our child who started at 7 months old. He is extremely happy there and is developing very well under their care and support. The communication from the staff is regular and detailed and clear plans are laid out for our son’s development path. The nursery’s app
allows us to keep in touch effectively and get a real insight into our son’s daily activities. Most importantly our son seems to have a lot of fun and is very comfortable with all his key workers.

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.
