My grandchildren absolutely love going to Busy Bees Worksop. It is helping tremendously with their development and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff are top notch and the facilities are great. Busy Bees provides a great lead into 'big school' and encourages a child's social skills. Highly recommended!

The staff here are absolutely amazing. Every single staff member involved in my sons care has been amazing, full of patience and understanding for his needs. Always a happy face opening the door and offering help to the car as I have another little one not yet attending. Nothing is too much for them,
even with support for referrals etc down the SEN path. Regular parent check ins and updates on the app also, so parents are fully aware of what's going on and what that months focus is on. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery. The recent garden refurbishment is also a huge investment into this nursery, my child loves the garden! No corners are cut here, everything is as it should be with extra care and attention on every aspect. I'll be sad when we have to move up to school! Thank you for everything you do, absolutely amazing.

Staff always welcome you with a warm smile and always try there best to help you when you need help. It's like a big family and both my son and daughter love it there. I know they are safe and well looked after. The manager and her office team are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.
I'm so pleased that we chose this nursery for my eldest as my other two have just fitted in perfect! Highly recommend!

My little boy has been going to Busy Bees for a while now and he absolutely loves going.
He absolutely loves it in the preschool room and has come on so much in this time. The staff have really helped him crack toileting and he’s also made lots of friends there.
The staff are amazing and so helpful,
I couldn’t recommend Busy Bees in Worksop enough.

Fantastic nursery and staff who go above and beyond for all the children in their care. My son has attended since he was 7 months old and is now in the toddler room. He adores going to nursery and has thrived. I feel very comfortable leaving him in such a nurturing environment, knowing he is being well
looked after.

Highly recommend this nursery! There's lots of nurseries in the area but I found Busy Bees stands out more than the rest.
I have had two children attend busy bees, starting from babies right through to preschool. Both children settled in quickly.
My youngest child is now in preschool ready to leave
in September for school.
I receive updates regular through the app, which includes meals, nappy changes, sleeps and photographs. We also receive updates on his development checkpoints too!
When I collect at the end of the day I have feedback in great detail, such as how much they've eaten, and what they have been doing throughout the day.
Staff are very supportive and helpful with any queries I may have.
Nursery is always inviting, clean and homely.
Meals are varied and nutritional. Highly recommended!

We have two children in Busy Bees Workshop and have dealt with all rooms.
Our eldest is now in preschool and has grown so much in speech, imagination and ability. They are always doing new activities to help the children grow. They really promote independence from putting their own coat on to serving
themselves at dinner time. They implement topics that are current, e.g. child is going to have a sibling.
Our youngest has just started in the baby room and they have been amazing at helping her settle in and implementing her routine. They are always on the other end of the phone to ask if they are okay and have settled in okay after drop off. Handovers are really detailed and they will answer any question.
The food served is always really varied, which exposes the kids to new foods that might not be eaten at home. The chefs are available to ask questions to as well. Desserts/puddings have a main focus around fruit.
Highly recommend Busy Bees Worksop!

Overall I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent.

My little boy started Busy Bees in October and has been the best decision we made. He has come on so much with his speech and has made lots of new friends. The staff are very welcoming, it's a very friendly environment and the nursery is outstanding. We will definitely recommend to friends and family.

My son started Busy Bees Worksop in July 2022. Having his visits and starting on his first day the manager and all the staff were very helpful with any questions I had. The girls asked loads of questions to get to know my son and interacted with him on his visits. All the staff are very happy and friendly
when I see them around the setting. He has now been at nursery for over a month and is loving his time there I love seeing the photos on the parent app and getting feedback of what he's been doing throughout the day. He comes home very happy and relaxed from his day at nursery. He seems to have settled in very well already bonding with his key workers and interacting with the other children.

My daughter came to this nursery and enjoyed every moment. The staff were so friendly and helpful when arriving at the setting, that I never had a problem bringing her and on days she wasn't in the nursery she was asking to go. She started at the nursery when she was 9 months old, I was able to leave
her knowing she was taken good care of and her routine was being followed. She moved throughout the nursery into the preschool where she was taught valuable skills to prepare her for school. The staff kept me up to date with her development and gave me examples of things I could do at home with her. I found that the recent addition of the iConnect was very helpful and I would get photographs and information about what she had been doing at nursery and I could send things we had been doing at home so they could focus on it at nursery. I can't recommend this nursery enough, my daughter is a very happy, sociable little girl who has come such a long way since starting the nursery. Thank you all.

My daughter started at the nursery in September as I was returning back to work after maternity leave. I was very worried about leaving her and how she would settle in. I shouldn’t have been worried as she absolutely loves the nursery and the staff. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble,
my little girl is so happy clapping and giggling when I drop her off and also happily playing or sleeping comfortably when I return to pick her up. I couldn’t be more happy with how she’s settled in and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We moved here from Birmingham, so it was a big challenge. The staff at Treetops (Worksop) have been so lovely and within three months you would think my son had been there for years. He loves it and it really has built his confidence. No matter what I ever ask for the manageress helps me straight away.
This nursery is definitely outstanding.

The nursery seems fairly well organised, however, I've noticed that staff are sometimes lacking (in numbers) and they have to juggle children around in order to have enough staff to children. However, the nursery is very clean and safe from what I've seen and any problems I've has been dealt with quickly.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.261)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.261) out of 10 for Busy Bees Worksop is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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 4.990 for Busy Bees Worksop is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.99

  • 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 4.271 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Worksop 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.471

  • 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.
