Busy Bees Spital is a nursery situated in the Wirral.

The nursery's approach to early years education and development places much emphasis on the natural world.

Children lead the way and learn through fun and exploration, and there are excellent opportunities to explore within stimulating and exciting outdoor environments.

Every effort is made to inspire the children to initiate their own learning and encourage independence in readiness for school life.

The nursery was awarded 'Good' status by Ofsted in November 2023.

The setting is safe and secure.

The nursery offers a menu of freshly prepared, natural food daily.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter's keyperson is really good. She supports her in all areas of learning. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend this nursery to friends. I find the management is very helpful when I need extra sessions. They go that extra mile to support me as parents.

Review from Beth M (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Today is our son's last day at Daisy and Jake, Spital after 4.5 yrs. It truly is the end of an era. He’s loved every second of his time there and formed such close bonds with the staff, especially key workers. The education and care provided is exceptional, and the safety and security of all the children
is always paramount which certainly put our minds at rest. Our son started at just 10 months old and has developed over the years moving through the different rooms in a safe and fun environment which has been brilliant to see. Every move was handled so smoothly with no upset.
Thanks to all staff for the amazing job you do and especially to our son's key workers over the years in the baby room, toddlers and preschool rooms and also to other key workers with a big influence - We can’t thank you enough for helping him grow into the amazing big boy he is and getting him ready for big school! Thank you.

My daughter enjoys nursery and always comes in and out of nursery happy.
My daughter loves joining in with activities and playing with her friends.
My daughter has a great relationship with her key worker, as well as other baby room staff.
My daughter is in the process moving through to toddler room
and I have no worries as I've spoken to and met her new key worker and feel comfortable leaving her in her new room next week. The girls are excellent.

My daughter really enjoys coming to nursery. She's grown up with supportive and encouraging staff throughout her experience. My daughter has transitioned from being in the baby room and currently in preschool. I feel happy with her journey and development. There are knowledgeable points of contact throughout
the company and always someone to talk to about any queries.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found the staff very skilled and always look out for my son. I do feel they have to look after a lot of children so a lower ratio would be better and maybe stop the younger children going into the bigger preschool, so the older children can focus more before school starts. Sometimes my son will
"play up" because he is bored.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Busy Bees Spital is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.931 for Busy Bees Spital is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.931
  2. 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 Spital is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 130 number of registered child places is 26, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
