The expenses are a big dent in our finances, however, our son has just turned 2 has been there for about 8 months. We feel that he is happy there and is loved and looked after. The management and staff are multicultural and great.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees (Walthamstow) is a perfect environment for our children to enjoy/play and learn. There is a significant improvement on their overall development and interactions with other children since they joined the nursery. We believe this is due to the excellent care and education provided by the nursery.
The management and staff are a friendly family, which creates a good relationship between parents and nursery to help children feel happy and settled.

Happy with the care my son receives. The key worker is very friendly and supports me as a parent. My son always comes home and tells me what activities he has done and always seems like he is enjoying himself.

Review from George S (Father of Child) published on 9 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child's key worker has done a good job to help my child transition quickly to pre school. Language has improved rapidly in the last few months in pre school. Potty training was exceptional - my child now uses the toilet by himself but needs a little assistance to clean his bum. He is more confident
and expresses himself more freely. He identities colours beyond the red blue yellow and green and that has been amazing in the last few months. brilliant work done.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.230)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.230) out of 10 for Busy Bees Walthamstow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 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 4.759 for Busy Bees Walthamstow is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.759
  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 4.471 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Walthamstow is based on 16 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 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 140 number of registered child places is 28. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 28 = 0.571
  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.
