Review from Scott H (Father of Child) published on 6 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Busy Bees since he was 5 months old and we love it. It is such a lovely friendly place and the staff have helped him become a confident little boy. He has learnt so much from nursery and genuinely enjoys coming every week.

Review from Josie B (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been delighted with the level of care at Busy Bees in Letchworth, which my child has attended for 18 months now. Staff are warm, friendly and kind and are very attuned to the children's needs - I cannot praise them highly enough. I always feel that my child is safe and well cared for and he
loves coming to nursery and talks extensively about all the fun things he does and friends he has made. The diversity of activities available is excellent, helping him develop in areas that match his interests as well as encouraging him to try new things. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Letchworth to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.050)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.050) out of 10 for Busy Bees Letchworth 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 9 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 4.917 for Busy Bees Letchworth is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.133 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Letchworth is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.433
  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.
