My Son is happy at nursery. The manager and her senior team are very helpful and professional. I always get full reviews on what he is up to and how he has been. He has delayed speech and the team have worked well to support his learning. There has been quite a rotation of staff but the manager has
kept us abreast of the reasons. They have tackled tricky things like a broken door. Well done.

We are pleased with the progress our Daughter has made from initially not wanting to come to nursery, she now enjoys coming. Since moving upstairs, we have noticed a progressive change in her. I am glad that the nursery noticed that it was time for her to move - shows that the nursery are nurturing
her progress.

Wonderful nursery, after visiting 15-20 nurseries, this was the only one that stood out.


The management team assist and support staff and children which I had noticed was lacking in many other nurseries.


I am particularly impressed with the dedicated weaning menu which ensures babies are given

just as much variety as toddlers at mealtimes.


The nursery is clean and has a homely feel as well as portions which are more ‘school-like’ which is ideal for my son as I’d like him to be comfortable and settled but still get used to a school environment so this is not a shock when he eventually moves.


I can’t recommend this nursery enough.

Very pleased with the caring nature of the staff at Treetops. My son has come on a huge amount in terms of confidence and language since he has been here. I feel there is a good focus on development specific to the child and I appreciate the information I am given and how my child has been and what
he has been doing during the day.

My son has been very happy at Treetops. The staff were patient with him as he was settling in and give me helpful feedback at the end of each day. They have recently introduced Spanish to the timetable of learning and my son loves the Spanish songs and the puppet. The children recently went on a trip
to Bushy Park and they also play outside in the garden. They also have a pet rabbit called Ginger! The children do painting, music, mark making, yoga, numbers and stories often according to themes. At Christmas, there was a wonderful Christmas play with a party tea and dancing afterwards where parents were invited. The manager is good at listening to the parents' feedback and making improvements where they are needed. The communication with parents is regular and there is a monthly newsletter.

Since moving into the local area I've been to a few NCT groups and they recommended Treetops. My son (13 months) has been attending since last February and I must say I'm very pleased with the overall atmosphere the Treetops team provides.


Their communication with myself and my husband regarding

our child's development is second to none.
They've been very professional throughout all areas of contact and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others in search of a good daytime nursery.


For the facilities and classes available. The value for money is excellent. Highly recommended.

My child attends treetops Teddington and we joined in December 2017. My child has really come out of his shell and has a great bond with the staff. He has recently come home speaking Spanish, as they are learning it at nursery. The communication is great and the management team are very helpful with
this. As a parent, I feel very comfortable leaving my son there and my wife and I plan to put our youngest into the baby room next year. As of this, I couldn’t recommend it any better.

My daughter goes to the nursery and I couldn't be any happier leaving her here. All staff are amazing and show really good care to my daughter and show her the attention she needs.
My daughter has a great bond with her key person which is lovely to see. I get told about her day and what she's eaten
and now get loads of art work to bring home. The nursery has had a big turn over since the new manager has been there, which is a great improvement and I can see that all staff are happy and the whole nursery itself has improved. Would definitely recommend parents to have a look around and visit if looking to take their little ones to a nursery.

My daughter attends the Treetops Nursery at Teddington and is always excited to see her friends and teachers. I particularly like the weekly communication from management giving us an update about the nursery each week. The email involves staff updates to what the children are doing, which makes me
feel so confident in leaving them in their care.

We think Treetops is a good nursery. We like the way the way the staff make us feel. The manager has spent time working with the team and there has been a great improvement in the activities and resources. You can see she is very hands on and is always supporting. The team provide the best care. The
team have made my child's day exciting and he is always learning new things. We have seen a lot of change up till October and now feel there is a consistent staff team who work hard.

We have recently joined Treetops at the start of January and my little girl could not be happier. The staff team have really worked carefully with each other to manage her sleep routine. They always give me a detailed handover and you receive a day sheet with a breakdown of their day. She loves her
keyworker who is very friendly. They always have regular trips out to the park each week or the library. The children are always happy and then the staff team are very helpful. The nursery is always content home from home nursery and you really feel part of a network and a community. I'm very happy with my choice as a parent for my little girl.

I bought my grandson along to one of the messy play sessions - it was brilliant. The manager welcomed us and my grandson immediately warmed to her, which is very unusual. The staff were great and he had a brilliant time - not wanting to leave. We are considering approximately 2-3 nearly full days per
week.

We joined Treetops a few months ago and we are glad we made this choice, the staff team are helpful and supportive. The manager is knowledgeable and flexible who spent time with us as parents getting to really understand what we wanted from a nursery place. As this is our first child, we were always
uneasy about leaving him but he soon settled in well as the process was well managed and thorough. We went to look at several nurseries before feeling that this was home for our little one. This shows right from the start with the warm "Hello. How are you today"? you receive from the manager in the office right through to the staff team within the rooms who always greet us with a friendly smile and chat about our weekend or morning. The whole team including management know our child as if they was there own. We can not recommend this nursery enough they have met all of our expectations. We are very happy with our choice and look forward to seeing our child grow with help from a supportive and lovely team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.568)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.568) out of 10 for Busy Bees Teddington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.701 for Busy Bees Teddington is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.701

  • 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 4.867 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Teddington is based on 13 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 75 number of registered child places is 15. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.867

  • 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.
