My little boy started nursery at the beginning of august 2020 at 8 months old. As he was so little I had all the worries any parent would have, however, the staff and management at the nursery helped settle my nerves and worries with as much care and affection they could. My little boy has been at the
nursery for nearly 2 months and we are already over the moon with the exceptional care they provide. The staff are bubbly, bright and very wonderful ladies and the manager is so warm and welcoming. The environment is exceptional and provides my little one with all the learning opportunities he needs. I have no worries now dropping him off to nursery as he has made fantastic friendships and the staff are magnificent and loving.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent who wishes a loving, homely environment for their child.

Really happy with the way my daughter has adjusted to nursery. I thought it was going to be a very hard transition. The staff did there upmost to keep me up to date with her settling, and have always been very accommodating and helpful.
She has come on leaps since starting nursery and I would highly
recommend this environment.

The staff and management at the nursery are all friendly and give lots of feedback both during the day and at the end of the day which was important for me being a first-time mum. My little boy has been attending the nursery for 18 months and he has really developed in confidence and speech. He is always
happy and excited to go and see the staff, especially the manager who from day 1 of him starting nursery helped settle him into the nursery.
They always seem to be doing a great range of activities, and go in the garden quite a lot during the day which was important for me a parent.
I have recommended this nursery to all my mummy friends and would recommend it to anyone looking for that smaller home from home feeling nursery.

Our son has been at Busy Bees Prestbury Road for just over a year. We've been very impressed with the care that the staff show. We particularly like they all regularly get outside and have a good range of activities. We like that as a smaller nursery, all of the staff know our son well (including the
chef!). They enthusiastically accommodated us using reusable nappies and have been very supportive in helping us with potty training.

Busy Bees Prestbury Road has a lovely atmosphere. I chose it because it felt like a home from home. My boy has been very happy at the nursery and talks about the staff and other children by name. He always comes home happy and I have never had any concerns dropping him off. Everyone is approachable
and I like how the staff do a good handover at the end of the day. The nursery itself has recently been updated inside, although the garden is looking tired - I had been told it was going to be updated but that was about 3 years ago when I first looked round. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it if you want somewhere safe, friendly and happy. I will be sending my next one there when he is old enough!

The staff and management are always friendly and helpful, with great relationships with the children. There seems to be a good continuity of staff, which is always a good sign. Some of the facilities (particularly the outside area) are a bit tired, but as the refurbishments have taken place there are
being done to a good standard.
We are happy with sending our son here and would recommend Busy Bees to others.

Lovely nursery, our daughter loves it. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. She loves her keys workers. Great communication, always a great handover, they tell you how your child got on throughout the day, what activities they did, what they ate, etc. Always nice to open your child's folder and
find bits of their artwork. Food sounds healthy and yummy too! Our daughter has come on so much with her confidence and being around others.

My children have been going to Busy Bees nursery for well over a year now and have certainly come along on leaps and bounds. Personally, I feel the change in management has been absolutely fantastic!
The difference is very much apparent and fantastic! The staff are hardworking and lovely with the
kids. As parents, we are well informed; honestly cannot fault Busy Bees Prestbury, best decision we made for our children.

My daughter has settled in very well at Busy Bees. The staff are very friendly, helpful and caring. They give me good feedback when I pick my daughter up. They have a good range of activities for the children to explore and play with, and healthy snacks and meals. Great Nursery for my little one to
attend; until she starts school.

My daughter started at Busy Bees in January. I suspected she would not particularly like the transition to nursery as she has always been with Mum or Dad and has the flexibility of attending work with us.
However, for social time, I thought nursery would be a good option.
The staff have been excellent
helping her to settle in, she's still not fully on board with being left, but the staff are kind, patient and she always settles quickly. The feedback is great, and I find the staff really friendly. The children seem to do a great range if activities. The outdoor space is great too. The food always smells lovely.

The nursery staff are kind and caring and have got to know our daughter and her likes and dislikes. Our little girl speaks about nursery staff and the other children with a smile on her face and appears happy when she is dropped off. The team at nursery give clear feedback on the day which helps you
know what your child has been up to. The foo also seems great and our daughter seems to like everything and asks for seconds.

I put my child into a full-time nursery from about 11months which was a really hard thing to do. The staff at Treetops were fantastic and supportive - in the Bear Cobs class!! It made me feel really at ease and better about leaving my child each day. Treetops is a fantastic nursery. The main thing for
me is that my child is happy and the staff, specifically his key worker, is really engaged with him. I couldn't recommend this nursery more!! Monkeys have been a lovely group and now looking forward to Hippos.

My daughter attends Treetops Prestbury Road Nursery. Their care and attention to detail is fantastic. The staff are warm, welcoming and friendly. Treetops Prestbury Road nursery creates and captures that home from home comfort and stability for the children they care for and their parents/relatives/LG
etc. I have recommended them to my friends and family and will continue to do so. Special mention to the nursery nurse who is wonderful, so caring, loving and kind as well as their apprentice who has really captured my daughter's attention, The Nursery Manager is wonderful - nothing is too much trouble for her or the rest of the wonderful team. Thank you.

We have had a great experience using Treetops nursery and really appreciate the team. Our children enjoy going to 'school' there and have developed good relationships with their 'teachers' and other children. Highly recommended if you live in the area.

My twin girls are very happy at nursery. Their key workers and all the staff are attentive and responsive to their individual, holistic needs. There are many different teaching methods used and all embrace fun and developing different skills. The staff pick up on the individual development needs of
the girls. It is evident that the staff know the children well and care for them. The meals are very good and development of eating and social skills around mealtimes is excellent. The management is supportive and responsive to feedback involving the family in activities. The nursery is clean and well-maintained to a high standard.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.628) out of 10 for Busy Bees Cheltenham Prestbury 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 Cheltenham Prestbury Road is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 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 3.732 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Cheltenham Prestbury Road is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.357

  • 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.
