Review from Jane B (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees in Browns Wood is such an amazing nursery. My son has been at the nursery for over two years and he absolutely loves it. He settled in very quickly and has formed very strong relationships with all of his key workers and peers. He always tells me about his day and how much fun he has and cannot
wait to return the next day.
There is great communication between staff and parents and they are all lovely and very approachable. I know my son is in safe hands and is very much looked after.
My daughter is due to start next week and I’m excited for her to join the Busy Bees gang!

My little pre-schooler has just started the nursery and thoroughly enjoys going into Busy Bee’s in Browns Wood every day.
My daughter had previously been attending another nursery but was not settling in and was visibly upset most mornings.
I made a decision to look at another nursery setting for
her and instantly liked Busy Bee’s in Brown’s Wood. On our first visit we were greeted with a smile, the staff took the time to listen to my concerns and they really engaged with my daughter.
They really seemed to care about my daughter and were happy to offer as many settling in sessions to ensure my daughter felt comfortable in her surroundings.
The whole registration process was very simple and I’m so happy we found this nursery.
It’s perfect for our daughter she wants to go in everyday which is fantastic. Thanks again to everybody.

My son is so settled within the preschool room and really enjoys his time there.
I really enjoy reading his observations, seeing photos and hearing what he has been doing in his day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Busy Bees nursery in Browns Wood for just over a year now, and he absolutely loves it! Even if he gets a bit tearful at drop-off time, he almost always has a great day, and some days he doesn’t want to leave! There are plenty of fun and educational activities to keep him busy throughout
the day, and he has learnt so much since he started. The staff are all super friendly, and my little one has built up strong relationships with many of them, so I know he is always in safe hands with friendly and familiar faces.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent environment, approachable staff. All three of my children settled in really quickly, with a poor experience just before this nursery, my partner and I wanted to find the right nursery. Busy Bees has shown patience with all my questions, and somehow they're always smiling first thing in the
morning.
With feedbacks daily and reports online it's really easy to track how your child develops.

I have two children who attend the nursery. I cannot rate the nursery enough!
My children have thrived and made excellent progress at the setting, the whole entire team from Manager to room staff are friendly, passionate and genuinely care about the children and I feel valued as a parent and fantastic
communication from the staff. Extremely dedicated team and really amazing childcare, nothing is too much trouble. Food is amazing and I particularly like the fact that the chef supports children to tend to fruit and veg grown on site. Key person approach is amazing at this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees since September 2016. She absolutely loves going to nursery. She is there 3 full days a week and wakes up excited to go to nursery to see her friends and her teachers. She has made so many friends and adores her teachers. She is always talking about nursery and
things she has done at nursery. She is growing into such a lovely and clever little girl. The girls are amazing in toddler room and will happily continue with anything I've been doing at home and are so understanding with everything.

My little girl has been attending Busy Bees for 6months and we can safely say she absolutely loves Busy Bees.
She absolutely adores her keyworker and all the staff and children within the nursery.
We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our little girl, who with the love and support and nourishment
of Busy Bees is growing into a polite, intelligent young lady!

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Browns Wood for just over a year. She really enjoys going, every day she gets excited to go in and see her friends, and staff alike!
The staff here are amazing, they seem to really love the children they look after, and always greet us with a smile and a
morning! They know my daughter well, and always feedback at the end of a session with what she's enjoyed doing.
I certainly would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for care for their children!

My daughter has been at Busy Bees in Browns Wood since she was 8 months - she is now nearly 2 and I honestly could not be happier with the choice of nursery we decided on. All the staff are great and you can tell they have a passion to work with young children and are not just there as a day job. The
manager is lovely and always makes an effort with parents and children! My little girl loves coming to nursery and has never shown she doesn't want to be there which makes things so much easier and happier for us both! Definitely recommend this nursery!

My children love attending this nursery. My eldest has just moved to school and he was more than ready, thanks to the staff at the nursery. He still talks about his time at nursery and loves to go back to collect his brother.
The staff are so friendly and know both my children so well. They are there
to provide me with advice and support where needed and always give feedback about my son's day. This extends to the management team who are always on hand to discuss any questions I may have.
My youngest has thrived attending nursery, he loves the amazing garden and is a big fan of the food!
The nursery has had fabulous resources and my son has often been out for walks in the local area. I highly recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.731) out of 10 for Busy Bees Browns Wood 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for Busy Bees Browns Wood is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.983
  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 3.748 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Browns Wood is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.248
  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.
