Review from Kate N (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff! My son struggled first few months being away from me but with loads of help from the staff settling him in. They supplied us with photos of the staff so he could talk about them and now he loves going in and doesn't want to leave! He even asks to go back once I've picked him up!
They
do lots activities like making spring rolls and making things! I love the reports on the app so I can see what he has eaten plus photos of him doing activities! So happy with my choice!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10 for Busy Bees Great Notley, Braintree 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 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 Great Notley, Braintree is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 156 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 4.475 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Great Notley, Braintree is based on 13 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 = 3.825
    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. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.65
  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.

Hannah Rees

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2009

My Name is Hannah Rees, the Centre Director here at Braintree Great Notley.


I hold an Honours Degree in Childcare. I have been working at this Centre since June 2009, and I still love my job as much as I did all those years ago. Seeing the children every day and the joy that the nursery brings to their faces is invaluable. I lead a well-qualified and experienced team of staff who, like myself, have a real passion for childcare. Leading my team to offer the very best care and education fills me with so much pride. Watching the children through their journey from here to Primary School is extremely rewarding.


My little girl attended from 1 year old; it, without doubt, has given her the 'Best start in life'. She is extremely sociable and keen to learn.
