Our son always loves going to the nursery. The staff are friendly and really form a bond with the children. What I also like is that, at the end of the day, when I pick him up again, they tell me exactly what they've been doing that day and how my son behaved. That way, I get a really good idea what's
going on in there.

The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful and our son genuinely loves going each day; not just to see his friends but to see his class workers. We like that he gets to plays outside in a garden with real grass and trees and he eats well. The Manager has done a great job since she joined and the
staff all care about the children and all seem very happy in their jobs. We are very pleased we chose them!

My son started here at 9 months old and has always loved it. He dashes through the door and straight into his room which makes leaving him so much easier.
The staff are great, incredibly kind and he talks about them and his friends from nursery all the time. The range of activities they get up to
always impresses me.
The rooms are large and have a lovely homely feel. There's a lovely outdoor area and the children are encouraged to play outside, dig and explore.
He also loves the food!

My son has been so happy at this nursery from when he started at 7 months old.
All the staff are kind and caring, and know him well, so It's always been an easy drop off. The records they keep are very thorough.


The rooms are spacious and well laid out, and his days are full of a range of activities.

He has also made a lot of progress there.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for Busy Bees Dorking Westcott Road 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.896 for Busy Bees Dorking Westcott Road is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Dorking Westcott Road is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769

  • 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.
