My son has been at this nursery for just over 2 years now and loves it, he has been well supported by the staff in all 3 rooms he has been in and I know he will miss them all when he goes to school in September.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I found it quite difficult to decide which nursery was best for my daughter and so far I am happy I made the right choice.
The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful and I feel that whatever I ask of them they always do everything they can to help. It's refreshing to see a good balance of nursery
nurses from various age groups and many of the staff have been employed there for many years.
The facilities are good and clean and there is a good variety of food, where various dietary needs are catered for.
The Manager and/or Deputy are there at all times and I feel they are very caring and considerate to my child.
Even though my daughter has only been there for a short amount of time, I feel content that she is very well looked after and that I made the right choice in sending her there.

I was worried about my daughter settling into the nursery as she only attends one day a week but has settled in so well at Busy Bees Longbridge, she talks non-stop about her friends and what she has done when I pick her up. She really enjoys it and has come on so well since starting. The staff are amazing
and really friendly and I know she is being well looked after. I have a detailed report each day I pick her up down to what and how much delicious meals she's eaten, couldn't recommend enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees Longbridge welcomed my daughter to the nursery in September 2016 where she has settled well and made beautiful relationships with her keyworker and friends in the room. She is really well supported in her development and I am regularly updated on her progress in the week. I can't thank the
nursery enough for making my child and me a great part of the nursery team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started Busy Bees in Oct 2016, we were made to feel very welcome. My daughter went from a long term nursery in Preston, to Busy Bees preschool class and she absolutely loves it, she settled in so quick. The staff at this nursery are amazing, friendly and professional. I drop my daughter
off with a big smile on her face and pick her up with a smile on her face. I would 100% recommend this nursery and will miss it when she starts school in September 2017. Thank you, Busy Bees, for such a warm welcome towards myself and my child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children attend the nursery and have done for nearly a year and a half. My son especially has difficulty settling in, which was a massive worry for me but all the staff have been supportive of his needs (and mine). There's always a lot of fun to be had - new exciting activities every day.
The resources and environment are fabulous, as are the staff. No reservations at all would recommend the nursery to anyone and everyone.

I have two children at the nursery who are both very happy to go in each morning. They eat well, nap well and play happily. We have had issues that have been quickly resolved although the admin of invoices is not straightforward. Please email invoices to us!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.923 for Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.923
  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 Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham is based on 27 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 27 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.
