Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery, both my sons attend and I couldn't ask for better care. The facilities are great and all the staff are lovely, kind and caring whilst ensuring the children are progressing as they should be. I would highly recommend Bumblebees to anyone looking for a nursery.

I have used Bumblebees since its opening 10 plus years ago and have been very happy with the level of care for all of my children. The staff are all lovely and caring. Management always try their best to accommodate your changing childcare needs.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Bumblebees. My daughter has been going since she was 10 months and is now 3 years. She is always happy to go and often talks about the staff as if they are friends.


They have helped to encourage her independence and feel pride in her accomplishments.


Great

facilities including a lovely outdoor space.

I was worried about my daughter attending Nursery when I went back to work, but Bumblebees was the perfect choice. My daughter is happy, well cared for and has developed and learnt so many new things. Very happy to recommend Bumblebees to anyone.

Review from Kerry B (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My third child currently attends Bumblebees Nursery as have my other two children before her. I looked at several nurseries before selecting this one and I loved the friendly warm atmosphere that it creates for the children. I've now been using this nursery for eight years and each of my children have
very different personalities, and the nursery staff have been amazing at supporting each child to develop in a very comforting atmosphere.


The activities are always varied and the children are encouraged to spend time outside playing.


All of the staff that I've come into contact with, are always enthusiastic and they really take time to get to know the children and bond with them.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.996)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.996) out of 10 for Bumblebees Day Nursery Plymouth Ltd 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.996 for Bumblebees Day Nursery Plymouth Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.996
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bumblebees Day Nursery Plymouth Ltd is based on 22 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
