My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 6 months old - she is now 2.5 years and she absolutely adores it. The staff are friendly and genuinely seem to care about the children in their care. My daughter regularly sees the same faces and I get detailed updates on her day every evening
at pick up.


I love that the nursery is far away from main roads and is nice and quiet, and I also love the varied menu that they serve - my daughter happily eats (almost!) everything that is served to her! I would 100% recommend this nursery to other mums in the area.

As a first-time mum, I loved the reassurance I got from the staff that my son was happy and settled. Every time I walk into the setting I get a warm welcome, followed by happy faces. I love the idea that my son sees the same face every time he attends.

Both our girls have attended Busy Bees and love it. The staff are super friendly and helpful and we feel very lucky we have found childcare that has worked out so well. Our youngest cries on non-nursery days or did. In the end we had to let her go full time.

My oldest child commenced his journey at this nursery at one year old. The staff are all caring and passionate about ensuring the children enjoy their time at nursery. If a problem does arise it is dealt with promptly. There is continuous feedback to parents via collection updates, parents evenings
and the Busy Bees at Carshalton Beeches parent/ nursery book.


The children are provided with a wide range of activities to take part in which supports their development. Overall I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Carshalton for nearly a year. From our preliminary visit I got a good feel about the place, the building is lovely but what I absolutely loved was the individual gardens for each room. The environment is just a home from home set in a quiet residential cul de sac. The
nursery staff were fantastic at settling her in before she started with four visits gradually getting longer each time (and this was repeated when she moved rooms). The staff are absolutely amazing and a credit to the company - through feedback every day I pick her up and always with a cheerful smile on their faces! The chef is as equally talented with a tasty nutritional menu! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has been attending the Busy Bees nursery in Carshalton for over a year now and has been placed in two rooms so far. Both times, the room facilities have been amazing, as has the staffing. My daughter has only had 2 key workers - one for each room. She attends full time and thoroughly enjoys
her time there, including the menu which is tasty and diverse. The management of the overall nursery always delivers a high standard of care. The nursery also provides extra activities such as French and drama lessons, which we really appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

Since day one my son and I have experienced the warmth and efficiency from Busy Bees staff during what can be an anxious time. Now over a year at the nursery the staff have done their utmost to assist in my son's health issues and dietary alterations as well as to update on integral development on
an individual basis.
Although there have been recent changes to the structure and staff my son has continued to feel settled and secure. Communication on changes with parents is essential and really reassuring.
Busy Bees Carshalton Beeches you're doing a great job!

My daughter started at Busy Bees when she was just 9 months old. Every room she has been in she has been well looked after by the loving and caring staff there. I like how all the staff know who she is even staff members that I don't know! There is a real family feel about the nursery which is what
both myself and my husband wanted for our daughter.

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.

Diana Mitova

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.
