Review from Pamela K (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Generally, we are pleased with placing our child at Brompton. We feel the level of education and entertainment is of the highest quality and very impressed with the overall treatment of our child. We have given satisfactory feedback re food and drink only because we feel some of the foods are unattractive
to young children. The quality is very high though. We also feel that if any child has been diagnosed with any form of sickness, parents should be notified on whether their child can attend the nursery or not at the time, instead of the following days as this might cause last minute inconvenience. Other than that, we love everything and are extremely pleased.

The nursery food is prepared onsite by our experienced chef and all meals are verified by a nutritionist and are seasonal. We cater for allergies/intolerances and parental preferences and if there is…read more

My son has been made to feel very welcome and the staff have been amazing at settling him into the nursery. Feedback at the end of the day is always good, telling exactly what he has been doing and eating etc. The staff are always helpful and friendly. My son is happy and content and seems to really
enjoy nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery for the last 6 months since I returned to work. The staff have made the difficult process as seamless as possible and my daughter is thriving. I find all the staff to be caring and interested in my child as an individual and I feel comfortable leaving her in their
care. I have recommended Busy Bees nursery to local friends and am extremely grateful for their ongoing excellent treatment of my daughter.

Review from Amanda S (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We currently have both of our boys in the nursery and both from a very young age full time so we wanted to find the best nursery for them to settle into, feel comfortable in and one that would give them the best start to life. We found it with Busy Bees Brompton. Our boys love going to nursery and have
developed in leaps and bounds. The staff are second to none and Joe the chef is a real asset to the team. Cannot fault the nursery in any way and their communication is excellent. We could not be happier with our nursery choice. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees Brompton is an outstanding nursery! The staff are very attentive forwards the child and focus on each and every child including my needs. My daughter is three and a half years old and went through some behavioural problems. The support received from her key person and manager was fantastic.
My daughter received a lot of attention to overcome to her issues and now is a pleasure to be around. Thanks to the staff and the support of the manager my daughter is a delight to be around. Highly recommend them!

Review from Kathryn S (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending since she was 8/9 months old, her key worker within the baby suite was amazing! The newly refurbished suite was the perfect setting, freshly cooked meals with all my daughter's allergy needs catered for daily. My daughter is now in the "blue" room and is thriving in there
as well. The staff have encouraged her at all stages.


At her last parents evening, she is well well above her development level. I do a lot at home with my daughter to help her learn and with the staff at Busy Bee's approach and new rooms, she is loving learning at each step. Would recommend to anyone.

Our son is diabetic and needs extra attention for help with his medical needs. This nursery has provided us with the care and has supported us as a family with the needs and the medical needs our son requires. They are a brilliant nursery and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery for
their child.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.476)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.476) out of 10 for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.851 for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.851
  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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.25
  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.
