My daughter has attended the nursery for two years and is currently in the pre-school room. Since starting the nursery, my husband and I couldn't be more grateful for how the staff in each room have helped her settle. From the start, the communication has been amazing, helping us with any questions
or queries we had. When it came time to change rooms, my daughter was given lots of settling in and time to adjust to the new room and new staff. Both toddler and preschool room staff have helped my daughter adapt to her baby brother's arrival by including her in conversations and activities around this. We are very grateful she is so settled and loves coming to nursery.

My daughter has started preschool at Busy Bees Cheam Park recently and has settled very well. The process from a tour to starting the sessions was well organised, all information provided and explained. The manager did the tour herself which is not always the case and answered all our questions. The
nursery was supportive when we had problems with getting the government funding which helped us very much. I very much appreciated the initial session, talking to the key worker about my daughter and how the learning process will be organised. The staff are very attentive, caring and listen to all requests. Thank you very much, Busy Bees Cheam Park!

Excellent nursery - the opening times are long which really helps with commutes into London and the surroundings and atmosphere are friendly and welcoming. Our kid was made to feel at home right from the start and has enjoyed his activities there every day!

I really couldn't ask for a better nursery! My daughter started in September and I've already noticed how much her development has come on. She really does have the best time there and all the activities they do with the children are great, not to mention the delicious menu that is served daily. I
love the updates on the app that the staff always make sure they do for us parents as well.

My daughter took a good few weeks to settle into her new nursery setting which was hard for us both, the support from the staff in the baby room and management was amazing and she loves it now. Very happy with the care she gets, the variety of play and the communication overall.
I'm looking forward
to the upcoming parents' evening too.

My son is 1.5-years-old and has been at the nursery since he was 9 months. I was very nervous about sending such a young baby into childcare but the manager and the team have been great. He gets a bit emotional at times but they do everything to make him happy. We often notice he comes home with new
skills, i.e. using cutlery at dinner etc., which he's picked up at nursery which is lovely.

Our daughter started Busy Bees Cheam Park in January 2024. She had a difficult start as she was in on and off due to ongoing illness (unrelated to nursery). Both myself and her dad were very happy with how they handled her illness when she was at nursery. She has now been attending for nine months and
we cannot believe how much she has come along and we have nursery to thank. She absolutely loves going, she gets excited to see her key worker. I am an over-the-top mum who calls regularly and I am never made to feel like it's a problem! Special shoutout to two members of staff, in particular, who are both incredibly good at what they do! I initially struggled with sending the baby to nursery but have always felt very reassured that she's ok. We looked around lots of nurseries and we are so glad we picked this one. Would recommend again and again. Thank you Busy Bees.

Since my son has joined, we've been really pleased with the team. They've been very accommodating and been really helpful with "can you do this and that" or "he likes his food like this" etc.
The photos and updates on the app have been really helpful and seeing him settling in helps us as well.

Staff are very professional, well-trained and polite.
They have lots of activities for kids daily. My daughter loves it.

Very good. Staff are always really pleasant and obviously care about the children. Only flaw is the entry system, as in the afternoon it can sometimes take a couple of rings on the bell to get entry. Communication is always excellent (in person, email, and messaging).

The staff have been so warm and loving to our son since day one and he has loved every minute of being in the Seedlings class. They all have become firm friends and he has developed so nicely there alongside our time with him. They are respectful of our wishes and communicative of developmental feedback.
Highly recommend.

I have 2 children at Busy bees, one in preschool and one recently in babies. Both are extremely happy there and my eldest has developed so much in the time he has been there. The staff are friendly and helpful and really pleased with all aspects of the nursery. Was always going to be daunting leaving
my 9-month-old but they made me feel so comfortable and communication is great. During the past year during lockdown the nursery staff went above and beyond and my son settled back in without any issues and is so excited when he knows it’s a “nursery day”

My daughter loved being at Busy Bees Cheam Park. She made some lovely friends there and can't stop talking about her activities. I have always found the staff to be very friendly, accomodating and great at their work. There is a full daily report of activities and food menu, every day.
We have also
enjoyed special dress-up days etc at the nursery. During the pandemic and lockdown, their management was very good and as far as I could tell, they followed all the prescribed guidelines.
A big shout out to the manager, for being very approachable and accommodating. Also, the nursery staff for always taking good care of my daughter. You guys helped provide a good start for her! Thank you very much.

My son and daughter both love their time at this nursery and my other son will be joining later this year. This was the first nursery I took a tour of 3 years ago and none l viewed after compared. The building refurb was purposely for the nursery so nice big rooms, buggy area, Not lots of gates and
narrow hallways. All new playground, equipment. The staff develop really close relationships with them and teach them so much in lots of different ways. Really supportive through potty training and other life events. The staff were really communicative through the first lockdown and helped us, parents, through too. Staff always available to talk whether in person, by phone or email.

My son has been going to Cheam Park for the last two years. It is a lovely nursery in a fabulous location in Cheam Park. The building and facilities are fantastic with plenty of outdoor space for the children and my son raves about the food!!
The staff are friendly and always helpful, they all really
get to know the kids even the ones who are not in my sons class, my daughter starts full time in June and has been really enjoying her settling in sessions I have no doubt she will thrive at this nursery also.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.682)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.682) out of 10 for Busy Bees Cheam Park 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.917 for Busy Bees Cheam Park is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.765 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Cheam Park is based on 13 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.765

  • 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.
