My son enjoys his time at Busy Bees and loves his teachers and his friends. It is lovely to see the friendships that he has made. We feel assured as parents that he is in safe hands and is learning and growing each day. The communication channel between the management and teachers and us as parents
is open and transparent which gives us a lot of confidence. I highly recommend Busy Bees.

Great staff and team members, all of whom show a genuine concern and care for my child. I feel relieved leaving my son there, he always opens his arms up to get cuddles from the staff members upon arrival, food is great he eats everything and the team is very helpful and receptive.

My 11-month-old son has started nursery at Carshalton, Busy Bees and it was the best decision we have made. The Centre director has been so supportive in the enrolment and settling in process and demonstrated clearly that his care is a priority. My son’s key person is so lovely and has been so professional,
making sure all his needs are met and regularly updating me through the app. The nursery is beautiful and spacious with a lovely garden too. We are looking forward to seeing our son develop and grow, in such a caring professional happy environment.

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees, Carshalton since she was 11 months old and has always loved it there. One of the first things I noticed, is that all the staff knew all the children's names and although the children are segregated by age, they all have access to great equipment and outside space.
The staff are really amazing and are so tentative with the children. My daughter has thrived here and it’s down to the staff. They have been brilliant throughout lockdown too. I always knew my daughter was safe, without losing the human connection with the staff, which was so important to me. My daughter is on her way to school this year and I know she will be very sad to leave Busy Bees and I have every confidence our next little one will have the same experience, when we send them to Busy Bees, Carshalton next year.

Busy Bees in Carshalton is run extremely well!
You can tell the manager does everything she can for the kids to have a positive experience and enhance their development the best way they can especially during covid.
My son has thrived since being at this nursery and that’s down to his key worker whom
he loves!


I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Busy Bees Carshalton have been amazing with our son, helping him overcome his delayed speech, behaviours and general toddler milestones such as toilet training. He always comes home happy and tells us what he's done in the day. They have fully supported his salt plan we have from home in the last few
months and we can all see a different little boy.

My son has been at Busy Bees since Aug 2019 and the nursery have been amazing with him. He was shy and they were so accommodating with settling him in and reassuring me.
During COVID they have excelled, updated regularly, bubbles within the unit and strict drop off and collection rules which are easy
to follow and not disruptive to the children.
They update regularly with the learning and have themed months to follow.
The food served is fantastic, lovely variety and nutritious, also with the UP app helpful recipes to follow.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always ready to listen to any concerns.
Very happy with Busy Bees and would recommend highly, will be sending my second son in September when I return to work.

Our son has been going to Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches for nearly two years and he has been looked after amazingly. He is excited about going to the nursery every day. Staff and management are knowledgeable and always approachable. All our questions and concerns have been answered and responded to promptly
and thoroughly. They put children first, treat them with respect and love - just what every parent would want! We have registered our daughter already to start in the spring which gives me peace of mind as I approach the end of my maternity leave.

This review is for the spectacular nursery manager. She is the heart and soul of the place. Every time I have feedback she takes it so positively and constructively. She has always made me feel valued. Nothing is ever too much for her. She takes pride in all her staff. She always takes the responsibility
for every feedback and ensures parents that she will address it the best possible way. She always has a smile. She is so much fun to speak with and such a delight of a personality. Her parental knowledge and nursery management skills are just beyond 5 stars. She is an absolute asset to the organisation. Thank you for everything you do for us parents and our kids by serving rightly through your organisation. Many thanks and wishing all the love and success in this role.

My daughter went back to Busy Bees after lockdown and has just started school. I love how well Busy Bees prepared her for this transition. She knows the phonics songs already, can hang her coat on her peg, ask and use the toilet by herself and has had no issues in the new school environment. Thank you.
My
other child is still at Busy Bees and the strict coherence to covid rules is reassuring. The rapid response, their shutdown, Not Charging us anything in lockdown, and their measures now, have all given me confidence that this is a safe and caring environment for my girls.

We are exceptionally pleased with the standard of care at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches. Our daughter has been going there since 14-months-old and she has loved it from day one. So much so that she even asks to go at the weekend! The nursery is always spotless, with a great variety of toys, books
and learning equipment - and super outdoors space for all age groups. The food menu is nicely varied and nutritional. We are well briefed about her day and her overall progress and development and the whole team are always professional, polite and supportive. We were naturally anxious about our daughter going back to nursery due to COVID, but the nursery has handled everything exceptionally and our minds have been put totally at rest. I couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else.

I honestly could not be more grateful to the whole team and especially the Manager at the setting for all of their support. My son was displaying extremely challenging behaviour a few months after myself and my partner split. The Manager made me feel so secure and reassured me that my son's behaviour
really would improve with support and guidance. The strategies and reward systems are working and I just couldn't have done it without them. This team are a second family to us.

My son came to the nursery from age 2 and he was upset every day. But when I would call I would find out that he had been good. When I picked up he didn't want to go home. He loved the staff in 2-3 and had a good relationship with his key person. When he moved to pre-school he was so confident in going.
The food was also good as he ate things there that he wouldn't eat at home.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.595)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.595) out of 10 for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.817 for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.817

  • 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 3.778 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches 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:

    • 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 = 3.5

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.278

  • 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.

Job Title: Centre Director

Hello all,


My name is Diana, and I am excited to present myself as your new Centre Director!


I know how important it is to get to know the people looking after our children, so I want to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself.


My journey in childcare started 15 years ago when I joined an English language tuition back home in Bulgaria. During my time in the school, I helped many children learn English as a second language.


I moved to the UK when I was 24, as an au pair for our lovely family and I looked after their two young children. I stayed with the family for 4 fun years during which I started working in the children's nursery.


From there on my journey from Nursery Assistant to Nursery Manager began. I have worked with all age groups, completed Level 3 apprenticeship, become a mother of two beautiful children and led the babies` room.


I know very well how important the nursery is for the whole family and how beneficial it is to have a welcoming and caring atmosphere in which the children can thrive.


I have completed BA in Business Management and spent the past two years of my life running a nursery that is caring thoughtful towards all staff, children and families.
