My son loves going to Busy Bees, he talks about his friends and key workers all the time at home. The staff are friendly and always happy to accommodate our requests. Recently they have been supporting our son through potty training, he is pretty much accident-free when he is at nursery thanks to their
support. They have handled all the recent challenges amazingly and I feel confident sending my son there.

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a hospital working, Busy Bees was our only choice. We were so pleased when we went to visit, and our little girl has fitted into nursery life amazingly. She is welcomed each day by the nursery workers, and her smile goes from ear to ear, which makes going to work a whole lot easier. We tell her each
morning that she is going and she now replies with a "ya" and a walk to the front door. Busy Bees has and will continue to be one of the highlights of her week, and knowing she is being looked after like one of the nursery workers own, is so reassuring. I have recommended to other hospital workers. As a mother, I am so pleased with her care, nutrition and development, and it goes without saying, worth every penny.

Great nursery, my daughter can be quite shy (to begin with) and took some time to settle in each room but has developed really close bonds with members of staff and other children. She looks forward to going and always has lots to say about the fun activities she’s been doing - especially ‘football
man’. A really nice nursery, made great by the staff.

Our daughter has been coming here for just over a year now. She always seems happy and content when I pick her up. The staff are all so friendly and do their best to make our daughter welcomed and settled. They are all helpful and approachable for any concerns I have about development or emotional support
for our daughter. The nursery has a lovely space and feels warm and comfortable. There are a great selection of activities and areas of interest for the children and are development appropriate for each room. It has great access to outdoor space, which was a winner for us choosing nurseries as myself and partner think fresh air daily is important. The app is great and is updated frequently with pictures of activities which is great to see what she has been up to. We are kept well informed. All together very happy with this nursery and would not and have not had any second thoughts about recommending it to others.

Wonderful team at this nursery. They have spent a long time supporting both me and my daughter in her settling in. I know that she is loved and cared for by them all. They work really hard on her development and nothing seems to be too much. Can’t thank them or recommend them enough.

Our little girl loves the new foundation room and has been telling us about the things she has been doing. She particularly likes dressing up in the fancy dress clothes and although she was reluctant at first, she is now enjoying wearing her new uniform. The range of activities and new approach is great
and we can see that this will help to prepare her for the step up to primary school next year. Thank you Busy Bees - you do a really great job!

Nursery is a small friendly atmosphere where all staff know my child and welcome him in every morning and say goodbye every evening. My son is always happy and will walk in with a smile on his face. The staff try their best for the children and update us with newsletters etc. Big well done to all the
staff as you can tell the children mean a lot to everyone and it's not just a 'job'. Would highly recommend this nursery to everyone!

After viewing several day nurseries in Coventry, this was definitely the one for us! It was clear that the whole team are dedicated to working with children. My child has now attended since Sept 2016 and everyday comes home happy after a wonderful day at Busy Bees.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Busy Bees Coventry 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.963 for Busy Bees Coventry is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.963
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Coventry is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 9 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.
