My daughter started at this nursery when she was 3 months old and has been extremely happy the whole way through. I have always found the staff to be attentive and nurturing, whilst providing quality learning opportunities.

Busy Bees at Farringtons is an outstanding nursery. All of the staff that have cared for both of my children have been exceptional. They are caring and nurturing but also balance that with their educational needs during the pre-school years. They communicate fully after every session and I have never
had any concerns during my children’s time at the nursery.

My children have been very happy here. There are good opening hours, good meals, happy staff and children and a very pragmatic approach to child sickness which is vital for working parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 1. She absolutely loves the nursery and has formed great relationships with all the staff members.


As a parent you really feel like you get a personal experience catered to your child and their needs.


They do lots of varied activities with

regular updates for parents. The facilities and rooms are great and everyone is super friendly.


My daughter has just been potty trained and they went above and beyond to make this work at nursery, introducing a sticker chart to match what we do at home.


I couldn't recommend enough, the children always seem happy and the staff are always willing to help with any questions or concerns.


Thank you

Review from Elizabeth M (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son and daughter have both attended Busy Bees from 9 months of age and both love it! If they do have an off day (my son usually runs in!) the staff are extra attentive and soothing so I always feel comfortable dropping them off knowing that they are in safe hands.


The staff go the extra mile

to explain the various activities that my children have participated in throughout the day and having the app 'ParentZone' is a good way to track their day too. The long hours are fantastic for a working family.


I'd highly recommend.

Busy Bees at Farringtons is a warm, caring environment, where all the staff show a genuine connection with the children. My daughter has loved every minute of the last 3 years and her time here has truly helped her prepare for the transition to "big girl school".

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have always been happy with the level of care that both of my children have received whilst at this nursery. I felt that my older daughter learnt so much in Rainbows and gave her such a good start for school. My youngest daughter is currently in Sunflowers which she seems to enjoy. It would be good
to understand a bit about the different activities that the children are involved in whilst at the nursery as I don’t really know the variety of play that she gets to take part in or how much outside play takes place.

My son (16months) loves going to Busy Bees nursery, running in each day which makes dropping off much easier.


Very friendly staff, good feedback given on daily events, great room and outdoor area, good play/learning activities.

Both my children have attended Busy Bees Farringtons, from 9 months old, one left for school last year and my youngest daughter will leave for school next September. Both have developed into independent and thoughtful children. They have made very good friends and looked forward to seeing them each
day and have made friendships that have lasted outside and beyond nursery. I would strongly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of making the hard decision of where to send your child on the return to work.

My son has attended Busy Bees at Farringtons for the last 3 years. I have been extremely happy with the care he has been given and now in pre-school the level of learning and opportunities to develop. On the rare occasion he has been unsettled on drop off, staff have always gone out of their way to
give him that extra attention and reassurance. Staff are always approachable to discuss my son's learning and development or any other issues. My son has had a very happy 3 years at Busy Bees, making many strong bonds with his peers and the staff.


Would definitely recommend this nursery.

Both of our daughters attend Busy Bees at Farringtons and they both love it! The staff are all very caring, friendly and attentive, helping our girls develop in the areas they need. The staff are always happy to discuss any areas of development I may be concerned about, offering advice and support.
The rooms are clean and spacious, and our girls love playing in the garden. Knowing our girls are so well looked after makes dropping them off each day so much easier.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has been going to this nursery for over a year. The opening times are extremely good for busy working parents.
There are excellent ground facilities as they can use the Farringtons grounds for outdoor activities.
Daily updates via the parent app are important to me and help me to understand
how his day went.
Lately, I have noticed that he is learning new words every day so I am pleased with his progress.
When picking him up he rarely wants to leave which is an excellent sign that he is enjoying himself.

Have sent both my children to this nursery and both have had a very positive experience and been well prepared for school. There is a good emphasis on kindness and respect to one another.
I do feel the place could do with a lick of paint as it's beginning to look a little tired but that doesn’t detract
from the quality of the staff.

Both my children attend Busy Bees and I believe it has been so beneficial - socially, emotionally, educationally. I absolutely love that my three-year-old daughter is already learning French! I have recommended Busy Bees to two very close friends for their children; one of whom now also sends her two-year-old
son.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.225)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.225) out of 10 for Busy Bees Farringtons is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Busy Bees Farringtons is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 5
  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 3.225 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Farringtons is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.1
  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.
