My daughter just joined the nursery following our recent move to the area. She settled in really quickly and seems really happy there. The staff are friendly and always seem very caring and attentive, so I feel really reassured that we made the right choice with Beehive!

My daughter has loved every minute at Rugby Beehive and is going to miss all the ladies here when she goes to school this September.
All the ladies are lovely and attentive to all the children.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband and I have always been very happy with our child's care at Rugby Beehive. She is always very happy when we pick her up, which is the best sign. The staff are warm, friendly, and have a lot of energy to meet the needs of the children.
We always hear about the range of activities they do
during the day from; Yoga, painting, water play, monkey music and much, much more. We feel reassured when we can hand our child over and know that they will be cared for and be part of a productive learning environment.

I love everything about the setting, my child loves coming, all the staff are amazing and it's such a home from home feeling as soon as you step into the nursery! I wouldn't want my child to go to any other nursery.

My Daughter has attended the nursery since January 2016 to July 2016, I can not thank the girls enough they have looked after my daughter so well and I can not praise them highly enough, I would recommend this nursery highly, it has such a family feel and all staff members are so caring and know everything
about every child, the care is what I would call 'top quality'.

It's a wonderful place to send your child to. Beehive nursery has fantastic staff and offer structured activities. My daughter blossomed from a shy, timid 2 year old to a confident and happy preschooler.

Review from Karen F (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son attends Beehives 3 1/2 days a week and loves coming. So much so that the days he is not at nursery (including Saturday and Sunday) he asks "am I going to nursery today"
The Children are well cared for and individual needs are catered for.
The staff are always friendly and it is obvious all
the children love them all!
The meals/dinners are excellent and I know he is eating a good balanced diet.
I kept my son in the nursery rather than move him to a school pre-school as he is happy and settled, and the nursery better catered for the hours I need to fit with my work.

Review from Marianne J (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in the toddler room and has now moved up to pre school. Throughout the nursery the staff are caring and attentive with my daughter and wonderful at keeping in touch with me. The variety of activities throughout the week is fantastic so my daughter always looks forward to going to
nursery which makes drop offs much easier. The building could do with a lick of paint but inside the nursery is clean, the staff are caring and my daughter is happy and comfortable there and that's what really matters to me. My son has just started in the baby room and has settled in very well which I think is a testament to the relaxed, friendly and homely atmosphere at the nursery.

Review from Kirt P (Father of Child) published on 3 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the nursery since he was 9 months old and is now in the Pre-school room. The care that has been given to him throughout the nursery has been outstanding and although he has had an individual keyworker all of the staff members know him and greet him on entry to the nursery. The only
thing that lets this nursery down is the dated building (it could do with a lick of paint) but the care and education of the children is amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mother of a very attached child, and working in a nursery, picking a nursery was a big deal.
The quality of care my daughter receives every day is outstanding. She's shown a lot of affection when she's upset at drop off times, and always happily playing when I collect her.
The hand over the
given every day is brilliant, and they never try to rush you out.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool 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 4.943 for Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.943
  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 Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
