We absolutely love this nursery! It has such a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, and everyone is incredibly friendly and caring. The staff are all competent and attentive, and they organize so many fun activities every day (including Yoga and cooking)-the children always seem so happy and engaged.
A
special shout-out to the assistant centre director, who always goes the extra mile and is so affectionate with the kids. My son adores her!
Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful environment. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Northfields since October 2023 and loves it. She struggled settling in at the beginning but the staff and manager were so good and accommodating, they did everything to ensure she felt secure and happy to go.
The staff is wonderful, she has developed so much
in this very caring environment it is a joy to witness. The food is great and diverse, they go outside every day, and she's excited to go in the morning, we couldn't be happier.

We have had three children here from 2019 onwards and couldn’t be happier. The manager and her team nurture a truly caring environment where staff feel invested in the children’s well-being. Our children have always been happy to be there and have been well-prepared for the next steps in life. A team
you can trust.

It's been great. Really lovely and attentive staff. My daughter has struggled to settle in, but I have found the nursery really helped myself and my child to feel at ease. Although the outside space is limited, the nursery is surrounded by park life, which makes up for it.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son loves it. After a bad experience with another nursery, Busy Bees at Ealing Northfields changed my child completely. He is finally happy and keen on leaving the house every morning. A cosy and friendly environment, everyday activities with lots of art, crafts and a safe outdoor playground. My
son talks about friends he has made, books he’s been reading and he sings songs. English is not his first language but he is encouraged, feels confident and starts to speak more frequently. He is challenged adequately and I am informed of his progress or failures. There's great communication and a part of daily updates is on a parent app and a one to one during pick up. The staff are friendly, welcoming, understanding and give advice, making everything easier for both me and my little boy. I highly recommend this place. Your child will only benefit.

We’ve been sending our one-year-old daughter to Busy Bees at Ealing Northfields for over a month now and couldn’t be happier. The staff are so lovely and caring to our daughter, it makes me feel so happy knowing she’s being looked after so well. She settled in really quickly and is always so excited
to see her carer when I drop her off in the mornings and so happy when I pick her up. All the staff are super friendly. The nursery had a refurb last year and everything is looking really nice. They use a parent app to keep us updated throughout the day and this works superbly. I’m really happy with how everything is going and just so grateful to have a lovely nursery so close to where we live.

We have loved the nursery so far. My daughter is visibly happy to be there every day. She seems to have a genuine connection with her key worker who is just lovely and shows her lots of attention and care. Honestly, there is nothing more I could ask for when I’m leaving the most precious thing to me
in the nursery every day. The nursery is also doing a great job at managing covid rules.

The nursery has undergone a number of improvements over the past few months, with a lot of renovation and refurbishment. This is always a bonus, but it is the care and stimulation offered by the staff that make this nursery one that I am happy to send my child to and happy to recommend to others.

Our daughter has attended this nursery since January 2018 when she was 12 months old and we could not be happier. My daughter loves all of the staff and enjoys all of the activities they do throughout the day. She talks about the other children and the staff when she is at home.
The team at the nursery
have really helped her develop her speech and have helped to teach her how to share her toys with other children.
Our son will start going to this nursery at the end of this year as well and we would definitely recommend this nursery to any other families.

We are really pleased with Treetops. My daughter has only been attending for 6 weeks and she is still settling in but has already formed strong bonds with the nursery staff. The staff are really supportive of the children and the parents and appear to have really strong bonds with all of the babies.


Whilst

the nursery rooms are small, there is a real 'family cosy' atmosphere and the babies rotate between the different rooms to help with variety. There is also great explorative outdoor space.


The manager is super responsive and accommodating and seems committed to constantly improving the nursery.


Would definitely recommend.

My daughter has been attending Treetops in Northfields for almost a year now, from 9 month old, to 19 months old and I cannot recommend it highly enough.


The staff are all very friendly and very interactive with her, and seem so happy to see her every day, and I feel incredibly confident leaving

her with them every day.


She has learnt so much being there, and comes home every day saying something new, or doing something we haven't seen before, which just goes to show how interactive the place is.


When I drop her off, there is not even a goodbye to me, as she is so keen to run to her key worker and start her day.


I have no hesitation in recommending Treetops Northfields, and will continue to send her there until she is ready for primary school.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter started at Treetops Northfields at 11 months old and literally hasn’t cried once when dropping her off at nursery; most likely because the staff are all so welcoming and the rooms feel extremely
homely for the children. It is so lovely to always be welcomed by a smiley face saying hello
each morning and so nice to see the staff really bond with the children. We have so enjoyed watching our little girl develop over the last year and it’s so sweet to hear her saying other children’s names over the weekend. She clearly loves the interaction with other little ones and is enjoying making first friends; whilst playing with toys and musical instruments, reading books, playing outside, having water time or eating one of the delicious meals! A very sweet intimate nursery and the perfect reassuring choice if returning to work (or even if not!). Thank you Treetops Northfields team!

Our son has been going to Treetops in Northfields since he was 6 months old, he is now two and a half and couldn’t be happier. We also used the same nursery for our first child, who is now 7 and we have never had any cause for complaint.


The staff have all been amazing, from the first day to now,

we couldn’t fault them in any way. They always have a smile on their faces and really do care about the children, which given how hard their job must be, I think is amazing! They have helped and encouraged our child to be himself and grow, something we will forever be grateful.


The biggest compliment we can give, is my child cries when I pick him up, rather than when I drop him off!


I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, fantastic people and we couldn’t be happier, knowing our child is somewhere safe, fun and caring while we have to be away from him.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.072)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.072) out of 10 for Busy Bees Ealing Northfields 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 4.3 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 4.814 for Busy Bees Ealing Northfields is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 4.258 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Ealing Northfields 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.758

  • 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.
