Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very welcoming and give feedback about what my son has been engaged in and keep me up to date with his development. I feel confident that he is being looked after well and comforted when needed. My son's confidence has massively improved since starting at Busy Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely setting and the staff make every effort to ensure my son settles every day and enjoys himself throughout the day as well as doing activities that are helping him learn and reach the next stage.


The food is cooked on site and is lovely.


Lots of opportunities to be involved in nursery with

fun days, grandparents day, carol concerts etc.


I would not hesitate to recommend Busy Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is amazing :)
They are committed to my son's medical needs as well as his speech and language needs. My son has come such a long way since starting this nursery. I cannot believe the difference in him.
The staff are very supportive and friendly. They show genuine care for the children
they look after. They have amazing activities out on a daily basis and encourage my son to try new things. My son hated messy play before starting at Busy Bees and with help and support from the preschool staff he is not afraid to get messy any more.
I cannot say enough how much I recommend this nursery and will continue to use this nursery with future children I will have :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This Busy Bees nursery has been amazing for my daughter, having started her at a different nursery originally and having issues, Busy Bees were amazing at helping me with all those issues. The staff are really friendly and my two-year-old daughter loves them all, the atmosphere is great and I am 100%
happy leaving my daughter here while I am at work. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being at Busy Bees and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to everyone, the food is amazing and she eats better than I do! Thank you, Busy Bees, for everything you do for her.

Busy Bees in Saxon Street is a lovely nursery with great support staff who are always helpful. My little one looks forward to coming here and spending time with her playmates. The new nursery manager takes a proactive approach and is fantastic. Aside from pick up and drop offs, we receive regular updates
via email and SMS which is great for keeping up to date with all the activities going on! I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.070)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.070) out of 10 for Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.853 for Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.853
  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 4.217 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.417
  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.
