Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loved nursery. We only left due to our personal circumstances but moved to another Busy Bees as the airport one was so excellent and we wanted to stick with the company. The nursery staff are all so lovely and caring, and the management is brilliant.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son is very happy and content in the nursery, he seems confident with lots of the staff and has made lots of friends.
Staff are friendly and know him and the other children well. He has moved from babies room through to the preschool and staff have supported him with the transitions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy sending my daughter to Busy Bees. I think the activities are interesting and the staff are very professional. The food is of a very high standard and I am impressed at the choice and the care they take as she is vegetarian. I think they are very positive towards valuing everyone and
I like the fact that the displays are very inclusive. I was very impressed when my daughter started speaking to me in French!!! I really like the outdoor space as it gives them opportunities to be creative and independent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves coming to Busy Bees Norwich Airport and I am really happy with the service it provides. She has thrived in a kind, friendly environment and the wide range of activities especially 'Wake and Shake' and the role play areas have seen her interest in the world grow. As a busy mum, I
find the hours work well and I really like that I can book extra sessions even at short notice when an emergency comes up at work. I think the team is well lead by the manager, who is very aware of developments and initiatives in early education and I am impressed that we are always kept informed and invited to support our children eg. maths.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September 2014. I have always been impressed by the care offered at the nursery. My daughter required an inhaler and medication for a time which the staff managed brilliantly.

Busy Bees - Norwich Airport has been a wonderful place to send both my children, they are loving their time at the nursery and enjoying coming to each session. Both children have grown in confidence, they've both learned and developed over the time they have been attending.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Busy Bees Norwich Airport 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.964 for Busy Bees Norwich Airport is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.964
  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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Norwich Airport is based on 16 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.714
  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.
