Both boys have settled in and are thriving at Busy Bees, Birlingham. The activities they do are varied and interesting as well as relevant and always changing. Our 3-year-old is being challenged well by the staff, who have taken an interest in his development. The staff who look after our 1-year-old,
are caring and keep us updated efficiently via the app. Thank you!

This is a very nurturing environment. My child previously struggled to settle at a different nursery. Thanks to some wonderful caring staff she settled really well despite this being during lockdown when I could not accompany her for settle sessions. The staff gave her plenty of cuddles and ensured
her favourite books were available. She loves going to nursery now and her social development is brilliant. The food is healthy and well balanced, the staff are nurturing. The nursery is well managed and organised and (most importantly) our child is happy.

We have been very happy with Busy Bees Nursery at Birlingham. Our son (16 months) loves going there and happily goes in in the morning. His development has really come on in the past 6 months since he’s started nursery. The staff are all very friendly and professional; our son has a real bond with his
key worker. I know they will get in touch if they have any concerns at all and they have really robust covid controls given that they can’t socially distance from the children. It seems like a really happy place and I never worry about my son being there. We love the information we get about what he’s been doing and the craft projects he brings home.

We can not rate Busy Bees at Birlingham high enough. Our daughter has been going for two and a half years now from the baby room right through to preschool and loves every day she's there.
The staff are caring, personable and have great fun with the children. We know she's safe and happy so cannot
ask for more.

Both of my children attend the nursery, and they are happy and well cared for.
The nursery is always clean, well organised and the kids have fun doing the various activities.
What I would say is exceptional about the nursery; is the staff.
One of my children has been to several nurseries, due
to house moves, and I would say that I think the staff at Busy Bees at Birlingham give a particularly personal and warm level of care.
Every single person there knows both of my children and has a story to tell about them or something to say to them.
My children clearly adore the grown-ups at nursery and talk about them at the weekends!

My little girl loves going to Busy Bees and is always exhausted when I collect her at the end of the day because she's had so much fun. The staff are always friendly and you can really tell they love spending their time with the children. The decision to leave a child with a third party is a really
tough one, but in the time my daughter's been going here I've never doubted that I made the right choice with Busy Bees. The nursery is always clean and they are always thinking of new activities to try with the little ones. I would definitely recommend.

It's a really nice environment for children - one of mine came out the other end thriving and ready for school, the other is halfway through and loves it. The staff are brilliant, very caring and we have no doubts at all every day we leave children there for the day. Thanks to all staff there for the
continued care of our child!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nothing has ever been too much for the staff. They have helped, supported and guided. My boy's love not just their key workers but the other staff too. I get told so many brilliant and positive stories on our car rides home.
They have cared for my little one with complicated allergies like pros. They
home cook everything and plan special meals for his requirements.
To leave your child in someone else's care is a big deal, and the staff have supported not just my kids but also myself when I cried. I cherish their continued help, support and care.
The biggest thing is that each and every member of staff truly cares. That is rare, and this place is a jewel.

My son has recently settled into the baby room at Birlingham (Busy Bees) Treetops and we are delighted. The ladies have taken excellent care of him and he has really connected with them very quickly. They go above and beyond to take excellent care of him and we are so grateful. They have got to know
him very quickly and made a real effort to settle him quickly and smoothly. Thank you to the room manager and all the team.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Turned up for my son's parents evening to be left stood outside on a freezing evening even though the staff had seen me and knew I was there. This is incredibly rude and when a lady came out after seeing me about to leave she said that they didn't know who I was - answer the door and ask then!


I

was extremely annoyed with the rudeness of the staff over this which is a shame as my son is happy there and to be fair the child care is very good.


But the rudeness of staff.......is it because all men are regarded as suspicious? I was made to feel that way. Whatever the reason, it is extremely offensive and I missed my son's parents evening because I felt unwelcome there. Staff need basic manners.

Having to leave my children all day is really hard for me, but it's a lot easier knowing they enjoy where they are and are looked after.
The staff are very professional in the way they present themselves and the way they are with the children.
I am really happy and so are my children.
They are learning
new things every time they attend and it makes me feel proud.

Our child recently turned three so we were able to take advantage of 30 hrs free childcare. Despite the local council releasing guidance very late in the process, the staff at Treetops (Birlingham) were extremely helpful and reassuring, helping us navigate the pitfalls. In general, our children are
wonderfully cared for. We drop the children off assured that they will have a safe, productive, fun and healthy day. Complete confidence.

My three-year-old son and one-year-old daughter attend Treetops 2/3 days a week and they both love it.
The staff are friendly, communication is very good with parents evenings to let me know how they are developing. I can always ask for advice when I need it.
Most importantly, my children are happy

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Busy Bees Birlingham 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.872 for Busy Bees Birlingham is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.872
  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 Birlingham is based on 13 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
