Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Busy Bees Alton Manor, Belper 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.958 for Busy Bees Alton Manor, Belper is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.958
  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 Alton Manor, Belper is based on 28 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 28 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.

Catherine Whittaker

Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Catherine, and I am the Centre Director here at Belper Alton Manor.
I joined the Busy Bees Alton Manor family in 2019 where I started as our Senior Room Manager and have worked my way up through our Assistant Centre Director role, to now Centre Director. I have previous professional experience within the Early Years Sector, and I hold my BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies with Practitioner Status from the University of Derby.
Since joining the fantastic Alton Manor team, we have proudly achieved Team of the Year, Health and Safety Champion award and I was amazingly chosen as one of five delegates from Busy Bees UK to travel to Canada to work alongside educators and explore their educational frameworks. This experience was truly outstanding and one I will carry with me for a very long time.
I have a strong passion for delivering quality environments, education and care for all our lovely families and children to be able to access the best possible start in life.
The team at Alton Manor and myself welcome you to the centre and can’t wait to see you all very soon!
