Review from Nicole C (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is purpose built and has a great garden with lots of resources for the children. There is a separate area for each of the age groups, meaning each space is tailored to suit. Staff are friendly and from his time at the nursery, our son has built strong connections with his key workers and
has really grown in confidence. Would recommend.

Review from Holly K (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery was really helpful when settling in my children. One of the children was really unsettled and wasn't looking forward to having to be away from myself but the professional staff soon put both our minds at rest. They were really accommodating with their needs and helped both children settle
in even offering extra settling in sessions so that they were less anxious about starting nursery.
When the time came for me to leave the children the staff were very helpful in taking their minds off it all and giving me regular updates throughout the day, this really puts my mind at rest and made sure the children had a fab day and wanted to return to the nursery the next day.
The pictures that were handed to me on arrival of picking my children up were very good to see that my children were safe and having a lovely time so thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Busy Bees Trowbridge, Paxcroft Mead 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.938 for Busy Bees Trowbridge, Paxcroft Mead is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.938
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Trowbridge, Paxcroft Mead is based on 19 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.95
  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: 2023

Welcome to Busy Bees Trowbridge, my name is Helen and I am the Centre Director for the Nursery. I have been a part of the company since September 2023 and in October achieved, with the team here at Trowbridge our Triple Outstanding from OFSTED.


I have worked in Childcare for 24 years with some breaks in my career to have my two boys. I have a passion for Early Years and promoting a firm foundation for children to learn and develop holistically. 


I fully believe this is the most important stage before children embark on their next journey, to school and beyond. I enjoy working with the team to help create a warm and enriching environment for the children here.


During my time in childcare, I started as an Apprentice right up to being a Nursery Manager. I have previously managed 4 other nurseries in the last 24 years.


Busy Bees is an advocate for the future personal growth and well-being of their staff, and as importantly the health, safety and development of the children that attend the companies' settings.


I really enjoy being a part of the wonderful team here at Trowbridge and meeting the families that attend here, both old and new. 


I look forward to welcoming you to our fantastic nursery and showing round all the amazing environments.
