Review from Jackie (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Busy Bees Greenwich June 2012 when he was 9 months old and left September 2016 aged 4 (2 weeks from his 5th birthday). Even before we had signed up for a place here, we knew this was the place that he needed to be cared for as during our visit we felt comfortable; our son was happy
and settled, the staff were friendly and reassuring and we were surprised by the garden facility that they have.
Our son was offered freshly cooked meals on a daily basis that were varied and he enjoyed.
He was allowed use of the garden daily which he loved
He was educated according to his age as well as being able to learn through play.
The girls that work here are all brilliant and care for each child with passion.
As parents, we were more than happy with how our son was looked after and would recommend Busy Bees to anyone that wanted brilliant care for their child.
If I had any negatives towards this nursery, it would be that I do not think the girls get paid enough for the job they do!!!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandsons (now in primary school) and (currently in Rabbits at Busy Bears) have both benefitted from being at this wonderful nursery. The facilities are second to none. Each age group has a special room (and Owls for nap time) which is always staffed with excellently trained personnel. The toys,
activities and furniture are age appropriate and the rooms are kept very clean. The wall displays are just amazing. In Summer the outdoor garden is available for play. The food and its variety are excellent, amazing value for money. The staff always welcome you and include you in any activity going on. They "debrief" you each day. Every child is treated as an individual and has a named main carer. Wonderful.

Review from Margaret S (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very glad that I chose Busy Bee because my daughter is very well looked after and is learning a lot. The staff and management are absolutely wonderful, professional and so caring. I feel at peace when I leave my daughter at Busy Bees because I know that she will be well looked after and will also
expand in learning and socialising with the other children. The menu is fantastic. I would definitely recommend anyone to bring their children there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery, especially keeping in mind that the choice of excellent nurseries in the area is not wide. Two things I am mostly happy with is the carers work well to adhere to the needs of my child and fun garden for toddlers. People who work in the nursery are the greatest thing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for nearly two years and she has enjoyed all three rooms she has been in so far and had great fun with the other children and staff. The staff are excellent, very friendly and provide excellent support and care. Each change of room has been managed really well and
we are all looking forward to her move up to the pre-school room in November.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.480)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.480) out of 10 for Busy Bees Greenwich 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 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 4.898 for Busy Bees Greenwich is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.898
  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 4.582 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Greenwich is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.882
  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.
