My son started Busy Bees at Cheam Park in August 2020 and the staff have been so supportive and patient with him for months on end whilst he was settling. They’ve been so accommodating to his needs and transition, he loves going to nursery now with his friends.

Both my children attend Busy Bees at Cheam park. They attend 3 days a week; on days they do not attend, they ask if they are going in! Clearly the staff are doing a fantastic job and are dedicated to making the children happy and feel secure.
The effort the staff make on special days like birthdays/Christmas/Halloween
etc is wonderful. Getting the children involved makes them so happy and they take great pride in showing us what they have done!
I love the updates through the portal and seeing the pictures uploaded.
I have one child in pre school, she is leaving to start big school this year and I am grateful for the stepping stone she has had before big school starts! I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I’ve been sending my daughter here on a part-time basis since she was around 11 months old. She’s 3 years old now, and our experience has been excellent throughout that time. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Most importantly, all the staff are amazing - they all work incredibly hard, and are really
professional. They’re caring, and reliable. I know I’m leaving my daughter in safe hands. I think the success of the place is down to the fact that it’s very professionally run. The outdoor space is lovely. The meals are great. And they are very relaxed and accommodating when it comes to settling in. My daughter has always absolutely loved it there. I’m so grateful to all the staff for giving her such a nice start in life. I think she’ll be well prepared for school when she starts next year.

My 15-month-old son has been attending this nursery for two months and he absolutely loves it. Whenever I say nursery to him he gets excited. The staff are so lovely there and seem dedicated to making the children have the best experience. We love getting updates via the app during the day and it’s
great to see photos of him and what he has been up to. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and so grateful for the staff and their hard work.

I am very pleased with the care given to my two children at Busy Bees Cheam park nursery. Eldest child is almost 3 is in the toddler room and youngest 15 months in the baby room, where they enjoy varied activities, indoor and outdoor.
They have been at the nursery for 7 months now and I would highly
recommend the nursery to friends and family.
The updates through the app are amazing, real-time updates of meals, sleeps and detailed reports on observations and stages and milestones met along with pictures.
Thanks busy bees for being so amazing!

We found Busy Bees at Cheam Park in the midst of the pandemic, as we decided to move our child out of childminding care and into a bigger setting. We were so happy to find a nursery based in a park, near a playground which felt like a safe place for our son to come out of and run straight into the park.
The
team at Busy Bees has been welcoming from the start. Our son instantly made friends and seems very happy to go to nursery in the morning.
We are now moving to the countryside but have loved this transition from childminding to school.

We currently have two children in the nursery at Busy Bees Cheam Park, and have nothing but amazing things to say about all the team and the facilities there!
Both our daughter and our son have been attending since they were 9/10 months, and the care and attention they have been given have been the
best you could hope for. It's such a hard thing to leave your children in the care of anyone else, but we have so much comfort that they are being well looked after. All of the staff, including the management team, truly make you feel like they care for your children individually. It's so reassuring to drop them off knowing they have such a great time there!

We are so lucky to have found this absolute gem of a nursery, and I know both the kids will continue to learn, develop and have so much fun there until they are ready to move on to school.

My daughter is so happy at Cheam Park and I have watched her emotional and social skills develop alongside her learning. The staff and teachers are very professional, approachable and have really taken the time to develop individual relationships with her and she adores them. I am also very appreciative
of the amazing care they have provided my little one during the difficult circumstances over the last year.

My little boy has been at Cheam Park Busy Bees for almost a year and I have seen him come on so much within that time. The staff look after the children so well and my child has developed strong bonds with them.


They offer a great variety of food and lots of fun and educational activities every

day.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees at Cheam Park for almost three years now. They have been fantastic throughout, I have never had to worry about anything linked to the nursery, I trust them implicitly with the most valuable thing in my life. My daughter has always been happy to go (I dreaded that she
would not want to go to nursery, much like I never wanted to go to school!) and she runs in each morning with barely a backwards glance. The input that the nursery has had on her life and development is immense and I couldn’t be happier with the service!

Sending my daughter to this nursery was the best decision I have made. The staff are so friendly and supportive and treat all of the children with such care and attention. The staff have not only developed my daughter's learning and understanding but have supported me amazingly as a parent and I will
forever be thankful. My daughter always comes out of nursery happy with lots of stories of what she has enjoyed during her time there. She made friends immediately and always has positive comments about the staff. It is with a heavy heart that I had to hand in my notice, as we are moving out of the area, otherwise, I would have kept my daughter there until she began school. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

When we moved house my 2-year-old daughter moved from another nursery where she had been extremely happy and had been going to since she was 9 months old. The staff at Busy Bees made the transition as easy as possible and were very supportive of my daughter. After just a few weeks she has fully settled
in and walks both in and out very contently.

My daughter joined Busy Bees Cheam Park when the nursery was fairly newly opened and she had just turned three. My son joined the nursery nine months later when he was 12 months old. We have been very happy with the care the team have given to both children and they have been happy at the nursery. The
setting is lovely - clean, welcoming and really well resourced. The food they are served is fantastic - they get a wide range of healthy, nutritious food - I'm usually envious when I hear what they have eaten during the day!
I would recommend Busy Bees Cheam Park to anyone looking for a great setting for their child to learn, develop and make great friends, and a high level of care.

Really nice nursery, new and clean, my child enjoys it. Think investment in air conditioning is required and to be conscious of fee increases each year (5% and 7%).

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.
