Busy Bees Camberley have been so understanding of the numerous alterations I have made with respects to my childcare needs. The whole team are professional and really really caring. When I drop my boys off I feel happy in the knowledge they couldn’t have a nicer team looking after them.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 19 months old and as a first-time parent was hoping to find somewhere attentive, social and additional learning to my daughter's life. I can say this nursery took very little adjustment and has treated my daughter with time and individual care. She
thrives in the environment and has progressed her social and independence skills since attending which has given her more confidence in and outside of nursery. I have the utmost trust my daughter is in the safest and most professional hands when she is there with a vast array of daily activities which goes beyond what I can provide at home. I am very happy with this nursery and would always refer it with confidence to another parent.

My daughter moved here in September 2016 from a different nursery following a house move.
She immediately settled, has built new friendships and strong bonds with her key workers. The garden is a great space and the children regularly enjoy time outside in all seasons. She particularly enjoys Stretch
and Grow on a Wednesday morning. We often have times where she doesn't want to go home at the end of the day but wants to stay at her nursery!
All staff are very caring and they all know her name despite not working in her room.
This is a great nursery and very competitively priced.

Lovely nursery. My eldest started when he was 2 and a half. Nothing but praise to the staff.
Never had experience with the baby room until our daughter started in October. They helped settle her in amazingly and again I have nothing but praise for the staff who work in the room with my daughter. Now
the refurb is being done as well the nursery is even better. Brilliant ouside space.

I have been taking my son to this nursery since he was about 1 and half years old. After the settling in sessions and seeing your child happy and secure, you feel nothing but proud. It makes going to work feel enjoyable for yourself too. The staff at Busy Bees are very friendly and the nursery feels
warm and welcoming. It has plenty of rooms and space for your child to learn and grow. Many occasions for parents to meet and make friends on events such as Christmas party and charity events. My son has made plenty of friends and enjoys going in calling it 'nu-nu'. The nursery offers full sessions or half sessions and welcomes children from birth right up to school years. Very satisfied and settled here and would strongly recommend to all families.

Since joining Caring Daycare at Camberley, my son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and he has improved socially and academically and looks forward to going into nursery everyday
The children are so happy with nursery teachers who really focus on them individually, the environment
is stimulating and the days are varied and enjoyable. The nursery prepared them fully for the start of school as there is structure to the day and plenty of opportunity to learn whilst having fun.
Everybody makes you feel welcome when you walk in and puts a smile on my son's face every day.

Both our first and second child attended/attend the nursery and they have provided care for our family since September 2011. We have been really pleased with the service we have received and both our children have enjoyed the environment and facilities. As a parent, you are kept well informed with newsletters.
All the staff, including the management, know all the children by their first name even if they are not directly involved in their care. Caring Daycare manages to strike a great balance between fun and education and our eldest child left the nursery for School and was well ahead for her age thanks to the effort the staff put into the children's development. The activities they offer are also of a high standard and are very popular, also adding to the overall value the nursery provides.
We couldn't recommend them highly enough and couldn't be more pleased.

My son has been going since he was six months to his final year now before school. Initially the nursery was a Montessori nursery before being taken over by Busy Bees. Changes were made to staff and policies where I am happy to say for the better. There are regular updates via emails of what is going
on at the nursery and the staff members are always there to help. My son's progress is documented well and he really seems to enjoy it.
The nursery has had great investment in the facilities where they are clean and tidy. They are renovating the nursery that won't be finished before my son can enjoy it. We will definitely consider the nursery when we have our second child

My son has spent 3 happy years here. The staff are very friendly and take brilliant care of the children. Our youngest son will be starting in a few weeks in their newly refurbished baby room and I'm sure he'll enjoy it as much as his brother.

My son has been at this nursery since October 2013 and has loved every minute. He is growing into a very intelligent and confident boy. He has learnt so much and the teachers always let us know exactly what they have been up to in their day. We get a weekly newsletter which keeps us up to date with
things we need to know. The teachers are always friendly and working hard with the children. The office ladies are also lovely and all know the children inside and out. He is now in his last 6 months with the nursery and I think we will both be sad to be leaving. I would highly recommend.

The staff keep our son busy with a good balance of planned activities and free play. He loves telling us about his day and now speaks better French than me (he's 4!). Seeing the detailed observations and planning kept by his key worker is very reassuring as a parent and helps put your mind at rest,
that they guide each child towards the things they need to be working on. They are also very good at supporting things we are trying at home so that he's not having two different things said to him, like toilet training or sticker reward charts for example. If we're working on something with him at home, they're always happy to incorporate it (very creatively a lot of the time) into his nursery routine.

I really like the way the staff helped my son get used to attending the nursery when he started. Not only reassuring my son but me as well. I love the record books which help show my little one's progression and social skills. He was quite shy at first but always gaining more confidence. It makes me
happy to know he is happy and in a safe, caring environment.

My son loves his time at nursery, he has a wonderful time getting all messy in paint, gloop and other weird concoctions. The staff are friendly and approachable and definitely have their work cut out looking after my little one as he never stops.

My son started at Caring Daycare in May 2014 and has received the utmost care since the beginning. As he has travelled through the nursery, his needs have been met, and he has developed into a caring and clever boy, thanks to the caring and nurturing staff he has been with.
The management team have
always been approachable and easy to talk to, they have the safety and happiness of all the children at the heart of the day.
The staff within the nursery are very friendly and give detailed handovers about his day, focusing on his achievements. They are always engaged with the children. I never have any concerns about leaving him with the team.

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.
