My son has been attending Busy Bees at Ealing, 2B The Grove since he turned one last year. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. All the staff are wonderful, they work each day with a massive smile on their faces and are always happy to help. They have been fantastic key workers during
what has been a very tricky year and the manager is so accommodating at last minute requests for taking care of our son on an extra day. Our son loves going and chats about the staff when he gets home. They carry out a range of activities and my son has grown leaps and bounds with them. Such a peace of mind to have him in a safe and happy place whilst we are at work. We are so, so sad to be moving areas, otherwise I would have kept him there forever!

My daughter has loved every day at Busy Bees at Ealing,2B, she is motivated and excited every morning to put on her shoes to go. She's greeted with a big smile and recognition like a little celebrity on arrival, she has made many close friends (staff included) and likes to talk about what she has been
doing (a little storyteller).
My daughter is a big character, she's very talkative, fun and intelligent. The staff and management have definitely played a big part in nurturing my daughter, she has been encouraged to be herself and has developed very nicely. Any problems my daughter has had are brought to light and dealt with.
I've been impressed with every single member of staff this last year, the few new staff over that period seem to fit in very well from day one. Communication is excellent and they all truly care for the children.
I feel she is safe and happy as soon as I turn around to leave.
The nursery is clean, homely on a large scale with a great outdoor space which is enclosed. Sad to leave.

My child spent so many happy days there, the environment is good and clean with lots of toys, the teachers are wonderful, read books and prepared for so many activities. There are no words to describe how lucky I feel to enrol my child with them.

This is a fantastic nursery. My son came from another nursery and was attending full time.
The nursery as a building and space is excellent, very clean, well organised, hygienic, toys, books, different activities indoor and outdoor.
The staff are excellent, down to earth, lovely and above all extremely
capable. As a working mum, I feel relaxed leaving him there because I feel so reassured that he is going to be well looked after and have a lot of fun. He developed a lot through play and activities at nursery.
I am very happy and grateful to the staff for looking after my precious little one so well. We are going to miss the nursery very much. Thank you to the manager and the staff. Highly recommended.

My son attended Busy Bees at the Grove during the COVID-19 lockdown. The staff were fantastic and so accommodating at settling him in so we could get back to work quickly. He settled in very quickly and has loved his time at Busy Bees, especially the outdoor space, and the very caring staff (he still
talks about everyone). We're not sure how we would have managed the last couple of months without Busy Bees.

Reply from Teresa Wildash, Manager at Busy Bees Ealing 2A and 2B The Grove

Thank you for your kind words - we really miss him and were happy to be able to help during a very stressful time for a lot of parents whose settings did not stay open.
Hope he is doing really well at his old nursery and if we can be of any help in the future, please let us know.

My son has been with Busy Bees at Ealing 2B The Grove for the last eight months. It was an amazing journey for both of us. He not only had so much fun but also learned a lot. The environment, staff, communication with parents, are excellent. I would definitely recommend if someone is looking for a nursery.

Our daughter has had 9 extremely happy months at 2B - she has skipped in every morning, absolutely delighted to be there and loved every second of her time with her friends and the staff. We cannot recommend highly enough.


The staff go above and beyond to make your child happy, and work brilliantly

with parents on any aspects of nursery/growing up that are challenging, they communicate brilliantly with parents and most importantly, forge fantastic relationships with the children. Our daughter comes home each night chatting about what she’s d done each day and would often talk about the staff with such fondness - she really adored them all.


The staff know the children really well - what helps them sleep, their favourite activities/books etc and also have lots of helpful tips with any difficulties you might have at home.


We’re so sad our daughter’s time here has come to an end - can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for us and our daughter.

The manager and the team have created such a special environment, we feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful first learning experience for our little one.
Without exception, all of the girls have been excellent, very professional yet full of love, hugs and patience making it very easy for the
little ones to settle in and then thrive every day. For the parents, there is lots of support and very clear updates during the settling in period and regular progress reports once they are settled - it's reassuring to have a professional view on development and to see the genuine care expressed by the key workers. We can't recommend Treetops enough.

My son started going to Treetops 2B The Grove (Ealing) at 11 months full time.


The team is very friendly and professional. I trust them, I have a good experience on how they take care of my son and they always keep me updated on my kid's development or if there are any particular topics that could

affect him.


The classroom is always clean and has different areas to help kid's development and they do lots of fun activities.


I will definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My daughter started at the nursery just before her first birthday. The baby room was amazing, very spacious with plenty of activities and a very friendly team. They always provided detailed accounts of her daily activities and food intake. Now that she has moved to the older class, we have noticed a
huge positive change in her character. She is extremely inquisitive, loves listening to stories and plays very well. This is all down to the amazing staff encouraging her and giving her so much attention to enable her to learn. The staff are so welcoming and they have the child’s welfare at the heart of what they do.

My wife and I both love Treetops 2B The Grove and our 5 months old loves it too. The place is clean, bright and has a friendly atmosphere. But most importantly all the carers are great. They are gentle, friendly and caring with the children and they keep them busy in fun ways that help them develop.
We've seen our son progress in many ways since he's joined, already in only 1 month. Finally, the daily summaries that we get (both verbal in conversations and written) are a great way to catch up with what our son has been up to.

We use reusable nappies and they were very happy to do this at nursery too.
All the staff are great, and if we've ever had any questions or issues they've been quick
to help.

I'm so happy with the care provided by both 2a and 2b in Treetops 2B The Grove. My 2-year-old in 2a absolutely loves his wonderful carer as well as all the other great staff there, and all his little friends :) The management were amazing with dealing with my little boy when he suddenly became ill at
nursery. I feel lucky to be dropping off both my boys at their respective nurseries in the morning, where I know they are being really well cared for, entertained and educated amongst some lovely staff and children.

My son started going to Treetops The Grove at 11 months and is now 2.5. (we have now moved to Northfields and he is settling really well there too). The team at The Grove have been amazing with my son who was born profoundly deaf and had his cochlear implants inserted just after his first birthday.
They all went the extra mile to ensure that they fully understood how to best communicate with him. Thank you. You are all awesome!

The nursery was extremely professional, clean and welcoming. It provides a safe, happy environment for children and children are very well tended to by the staff.
The staff are very attentive and you can see that they have a genuine love for children. This really helps to make the nursery a wonderful

Fantastic nursery and more importantly fantastic staff. Our twins attend the nursery and have built up such a strong bond with the staff that they actually look forward to attending nursery school every day. They are 10 months now and have developed so much in the short amount of time they have been
there. I can't speak highly enough about the school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Busy Bees Ealing 2A and 2B The Grove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.874 for Busy Bees Ealing 2A and 2B The Grove is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 Busy Bees Ealing 2A and 2B The Grove is based on 10 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 10 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.
