My son has had an excellent time over the last two years at Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches. I remember when he started the nursery he was extremely upset and the nursery team looked after him so well during the transition and very quickly he settled in the place. He is very happy now to come to the nursery
and his developmental milestones have progressed so well. It is a wonderful place for young ones. I wish I could have come here when I was two.

Our daughter started nursery at 10 months old having had a bad experience with our older daughters nursery - we had our reservations, however, the staff are friendly and were very caring and nurturing, she settled in well. They communicate really well as a team and are excellent handing over. The manager
had completed a refurbishment and decorated most of the nursery which really improved the look and overall ethos. They are flexible and take parents concerns on board. I could not have hoped for a better nursery and more trustworthy or caring staff!

Both of my children have moved up to the next room. The youngest has a key worker we know well as she was our other child's keyworker. My daughter has quickly settled, it was lovely seeing her this morning go into her class with minimal fuss for once. This evening both my kids were having so much fun
they didn't want to come home.

My son joined Busy Bees a year ago and he absolutely loves it. He's made good friends and has a good rapport with his key persons. The nursery has helped to improve his communication skills and also helped in his development skills. Highly recommend all their extra curriculum, they have encouraged my
son's confidence.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches since she was a year old. She settled in so well and has developed socially and emotionally over the last 2 years. She is also developing cognitively and in line with expectations. She loves coming to nursery and has made great friends. She is
cared for extremely well and I know that she is in safe hands. When I pick her up, she asks to stay longer. Would highly recommend.

I have been coming to Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches for a few years now with two of my granddaughters, one who is still attending. I have always found every one of the staff to be friendly, kind and caring. Never once have either of my granddaughters said they didn't want to go to nursery.

As always, I am very happy with the care my daughter received at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches. She is always excited to go to nursery and especially this month with the variety of Christmas activities that have been taking place.
I am looking forward to receiving all her artwork and to seeing her
in the nativity play.
Well don't to all staff at Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches and thank you.

Fantastic nursery with staff that truly care about my daughter. Every morning the staff arrive fresh-faced and wearing eager smiles. They seem able to cope incredibly with whatever the kids throw at them. I imagine their jobs must be fairly stressful at times but not once have I seen them show this.
Quite the contrary. All the staff appear to relish the chaos and I would recommend Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches in a heartbeat.

The staff is amazing here. My little girl started nursery at only 7 months and they did all they could to make me and her, feel happy and at ease with this life-changing event.
Everyone is great with her and I can tell she's very happy here.

Generally, the care is good and the staff are very patient, caring and kind. My child seems happy and absorbed at nursery.


I have previously raised concerns about soap dispensers not being filled and this seems to have been dealt with now.


Fees have gone up again recently and Busy Bees' rates

seem less competitive

My daughter has attended this nursery for 18 months now and we are very happy with all aspects of it.
She absolutely loves going in every day. They do a wonderful range of activities and provide a very varied range of food.
We get great updates on her progress and I’m sure if we had any issues they
would be dealt with appropriately.


I would be happy to recommend to anyone.

The Management was changed this year and it has definitely been for the better!
There has been a massive change in the atmosphere at the Nursery within staff and parents.
My daughter has excelled in her learning this year (she is in pre-school 2) I have no
concerns about my daughter's welfare.
She
speaks perfectly, she writes brilliantly...
She eats great, some days she doesn't want to eat what is on offer but then you can't expect a child to like everything, but she is always given an alternative.
She always comes home happy.
The Nursery is outstanding in my opinion, I know I could speak to the staff about any concerns including the manager.
The events held and the additional activities offered are fabulous, I am actually a little upset that she will be heading to normal school next year.

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.
