Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son joined in 2013, I have been happy with all the staff and the nursery's way of working. I have felt confident with the care my son has received and I'm surprised every day at what he has learnt and words he uses. I am very grateful to all at the nursery.

Review from Gauri F (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am not happy with a couple of things:
1. There have been several occasions where the daily dairy is not completed during EOD.
2. On 3 occasions the child was handed over which a soiled nappy and rashes followed soon after as the soiled nappy was left for ages.
3. Always gets nappy rashes from Nursery.
4.
Learning - should be more constructive. Children should be encouraged to learn colours, letters, to speak etc etc.
5. My child has been in for 7 months. I have not had one meeting with the staff yet (except for the settling in sessions)
6. My child is a very picky eater and there seems to be no planning on techniques on how to encourage such children to eat.
7. The staff are very polite and management is very helpful. They would always listen to your needs carefully but some more action and planning is required on the above.
8. It's not good value for money.
I would like to stress however that the staff are absolutely amazing there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Peterborough for almost a year and a half and we both love it. I choose Busy Bees after touring a few nurseries in the area because I loved the facility, the staff was very friendly, and I loved their individualised teaching methods. I can now say that that
staff is absolutely amazing. My daughter loves her teachers and they genuinely care about her. She doesn't attend full time, but every morning she wakes up and asks me if she gets to go to school today because she really enjoys going. When I drop her off I know that she is being well looked after.

We have used this nursery over 7 years and cannot fault it. Our son went from 6months through to preschool, it was the best thing we could have done for him. Now our 8-month-old daughter has started and is always happy on drop off and pick ups, it's lovely to see a lot of the old staff from when our
son was there. Everyone is extremely friendly - keep up the good work.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Great nursery! My son started when he was just 7 months, so I was very nervous to leave him, but the settling in sessions totally made me feel comfortable. They asked lots of questions and wrote everything down to make sure it is followed, and I have been getting detailed updates on everything my son
does in the nursery. We also went to their free Baby classes to get him used to the people and new surroundings. It's now been 3 months and he is always happily playing when I come to pick him up. He's done lots of messy activities that I always dread doing at home because of the mess, like painting and sand and water play... All the staff are lovely too - it's easy to see that they are enjoying their job.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Lovely friendly and welcoming staff and a lovely atmosphere. A really nice spacious building and the garden is lovely. I really felt that me and my child mattered at this nursery. All of the children were happy and the manager spent a long time getting to know me and really finding out what I needed
for my daughter.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10 for Busy Bees Peterborough Hampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.679 for Busy Bees Peterborough Hampton is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.679
  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 4.488 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Peterborough Hampton 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.663
  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.

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2021

Hi, my name is Alex and I have worked with Busy Bees since November 2021. I originally started working in Childcare as an apprentice and worked my way from Level 2 to then gaining my Level 3 qualification. I joined the Busy Bees team as the ACD here at Peterborough, and since then I have achieved a lot within the company, I was given the opportunity to take on the Centre Director Designate role being able to support a variety of different centres to achieve the highest standards of care and education, this has given me a wide range of tools and experiences to use moving forward. I have recently returned to the Peterborough Nursery to take on the Centre Director Role and this time, with my beautiful Baby Girl. Since having my Daughter I have found myself embarking on the same journey as all new parents do and have seen the visible importance of their nursery journey as well as all the important milestones to be achieved during their Early Years. I see myself to be a very hands-on leader and enjoy coaching and guiding the staff team to join me with ongoing enthusiasm and love for their roles. As a result, I will be making it my ultimate goal to ensure that all children within our nursery are receiving the best quality of care and education throughout their journey here at Busy Bees allowing them to have the Best Start in Life.
