My daughter has been at this nursery for over a year now, and we are delighted with how well it's going. She started at two days, but we have now increased this to four as it's been such a success. All of the staff are very friendly and kind, and she is learning so much from them.
My partner and I
have enjoyed getting the updates and photos on the app; it's so reassuring to know what she gets up to while she's not with us. The team made a big effort to change the activities every day, and my daughter's vocabulary and skillset have hugely improved as a result.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Emily Graves, Digital Content Assistant at Busy Bees Camberley

My son is 14 months old and has been at Busy Bees from 9 months old. I get great communication from his key people and also a lot of welcome advice and tips. My boy is progressing so well and he gets so excited going to nursery. The look on his face is priceless when he sees the staff waiting for him.
I'm informed about everything, even the smallest things which makes me trust them with all things related to my boy.

My son has been at this nursery for a year and I can't fault it at all. He has never once been upset to go in even from his first day as the lovely ladies made him feel so welcome and secure. Communication is excellent with a thorough handover at each pickup and my son always has stories to tell about
the games he's played with the grown-ups. We'll be so sad to wave goodbye when he's off to school next year. Special mention to the ladies in bumbles who my little boy adores!

Busy Bees Camberley is a great nursery. My young son attends this nursery and he absolutely loves it. He always has a great, fun day and he is developing so much and becoming a very confident child. The staff are super friendly and very polite. My eldest son also attended this nursery (he is now at
school) and he always mentions how he loved going to the nursery. He made some really good friends there who he still plays with now, years after leaving this fantastic Busy Bees branch.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees for the past 2 years for 3 days a week. She has thrived here and her confidence has noticeably increased. She loves all the staff members and has a great bond with her key workers who work hard to focus on her learning and development and provide regular reviews and
updates to me. I am confident that her transition to big school will be smooth as a result of this. I thoroughly recommend busy bees and find their structured days at Nursery work well for my daughter.

After 3 months in lockdown we were worried about when to introduce our baby girl into nursery. We were amazed at how well-prepped Busy Bees were and the steps they put in place to keep our daughter and the staff safe. The staff have been amazing and communicate regularly with us. So nice to have the
ParentZone app where we can track our daughter's progress throughout the day. It feels like she is coming on leaps and bounds and even started to properly walk when she started. It’s so good for her development to interact and play with other children and is always coming home with new words now. Thank you to everyone at the nursery for all of their care.

Fabulous Nursery! Staff always polite and helpful and very approachable. My grandson loves going to Nursery, he's been at Busy Bees since he was 6-months-old and is now coming up to 3! It's got a lovely environment for children to play and learn in with confidence and ease. There's a lovely well-stocked
garden with lots of fun activities and equipment they can enjoy. They have fun every day and learn new skills. Each time I've collected my grandson I've been given a brief outline of how his day has been - it's always nice to know about his day and happily chat about it with him on the way home! I would thoroughly recommend Busy Bees (Camberley). They're everything you could want in day nursery childcare.

My 3.5-year-old daughter started to go to this lovely nursery in August 2018, for only one day a week, as her childminder had decided not to work Fridays anymore. I was pleasantly surprised that this was possible as I had always been under the impression the child had to attend a minimum of 2 days a
week. My daughter took some time to settle in, but the staff made her feel very welcome. She still cries in the mornings, but this is because she loves to be with her mummy and daddy, nothing to do with the staff or the nursery. My little one has come on leaps and bounds since she started to attend. Her speech has improved, and her social skills have developed greatly. Since November 2018 she attends two days a week. The setting is very clean, food is lovely and fresh, the children get to spend time outside in a lovely garden with lots of toys and equipment. I can only recommend this nursery, I am sad that she has to leave to start Reception in September.

I have been so happy with the nursery and the care they provide for my child. They are flexible, open all year round with a good length of day to aid working parents, and the staff are absolutely fantastic. My child was a little distressed at first going to nursery, but they have looked after him brilliantly
and are always enthusiastic and happy to see us. He is stimulated and learning a lot, and their app updates are perfect for keeping us up to date with his progress. The meals are excellent and the balance of play activities, sleeping and mealtimes work really well. The facilities at the nursery, including the outdoor space, children’s rooms and handy buggy store for parents are second to none. Their approach to looking after children who are a little distressed or under the weather is pragmatic and sensible, and each time I visit I feel that the staff there all genuinely enjoy their jobs and thrive on caring for the children.

Amazing staff, my son goes once a week and has built up a great rapport with all of the staff within that room, they ease him in brilliantly and within seconds of me leaving he's settled down and happy. There is so much for children to play with inside and out. The activities are always fun, my son
always comes home with a big smile as he's had a great day. I wouldn't want my son or my daughter, that will be going next year, to be anywhere else. Have and will always recommend this nursery, cannot express enough how happy we are with this nursery. Thank you Busybees.

We love this nursery, it was the only one we looked at when deciding where our little girl would go. After meeting the manager and some of the staff we decided to look no further. She has since been here almost a year and now in her second room. All the staff are so lovely, genuinely caring and always
greet us in a really positive and friendly manor each morning and afternoon. She is learning so much more than we imagined she would (being first time parents we weren’t sure what to expect). She loves all the food cooked each day and has made many friends whom she talks about at home. We would 100% recommend this nursery.

My eldest daughter has been to Busy Bees and now my son is there also, since the reconstruction of the nursery both inside and out I can say the standard has got a lot better, it is more spacious inside allowing the children to move freely and confidently, the learning schedules are more scheduled and
focused. Very pleased with the change so far!

I have had two children attend this nursery, with my youngest still attending, and it has been absolutely amazing! Over the years I have really got to know the staff and they have always gone above and beyond, so my eldest still likes to come back to say hi a couple years after!


We have had various

health and allergy issues with my youngest and I am so grateful for how understanding, caring and professional they have always been to make things as easy as possible for him and us. The chef has also been so incredible in catering to his specific needs providing varied meals and helped us to work out some of the allergies. The room and office staff are all fantastic with this too and react so quickly. It’s beyond reassuring as a parent to know that your child is in such capable hands and that I can leave him there knowing he is so happy and well cared for. He is always so happy at drop off/pick up and eager to tell me everything he has been doing!

Our little boy joined 8 months ago from another nursery when we moved to the area. He only attends part time but the staff have all been brilliant, focusing on his integration needs, getting to know him personally and supporting us as we prepare him to move to the preschool room. They have also supported
us in him moving bedrooms at home, through potty training and dropping a dummy and even more so now as we get him ready for new siblings to arrive. Everything is personalised, they even created him a special star chart using his favourite TV programme characters to help with potty training - and we never feel like we have to fall in line with any policies because it’s the nursery’s rules.


Recommend this nursery highly - we wouldn’t be without it.

My child has gone to this nursery since she was 1 and we are very sad that she is now leaving to go to school. This nursery has been so supportive to both us and our child, they have really brought out her confidence. All the staff are lovely and will help you in whatever way they can, be it a missing
toy or some advice. They work with you so well to ensure that your child gets the best out of their day and themselves. Their preschool has been great at setting my child up for school, to the point she happily walked in to visit her classroom without me. This was an amazement to me as she wouldn't do that normally and I put it down to the work that the team here have done, I couldn't wait to let her key person know.

Happy, friendly and dedicated staff who develop a great bond with your child in a warm, safe and structured environment. The children are given the opportunity to explore, develop and interact with a plethora of interesting activities and items, all of which contribute to building their self-confidence
and sense of discovery. Security is absolutely paramount and timed key-fob entry points ensure no unauthorised people are permitted access to the building or the children. Numerous members of staff are always present throughout the rooms and on-hand to cater to the children's needs, and the end-of-day report when you arrive to collect your child outlines their activities, food and changes throughout the session. The ParentZone app allows the staff to upload observations to give you peace of mind whilst you're away.


Our daughter really enjoys her time at this nursery, and we couldn't be happier with how she has developed during her time here, and recommend you visit and see for yourself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Busy Bees Camberley 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 Camberley is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Camberley is based on 21 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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
