Our child has improved greatly since attending nursery. She has benefitted from the structure provided by the nursery staff. Her communication skills with other children and staff have helped her development.

Great staff and atmosphere. Layout is great for my baby. We started at 4 months old and they have accommodated all his needs and requirements when I requested. He is meeting all his development milestones thanks to the staff.

Review from Lucy H (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting other nurseries in the area there was no question about where my child would go.
From 8 months to 4 years she has had an amazing journey.
Unique needs have always been met and nothing is ever too much trouble. She has strong bonds with her key person and they have helped her to develop
and excel. She has developed a positive relationship with everyone as she has moved through the nursery.
Catering to own routines is a strong point, I felt very confident leaving them responsible for my child.
Pre-school offers her exciting activities every day and there are lots of wonderful resources to help keep her engrossed. The outside area is also absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to hear lots of feedback soon at her parents evening.
I can't praise the manager enough and the rest of the senior team for their confidence, reassurance and professionalism. They are all absolutely fabulous at what they do.
Meals are all freshly prepared and there's a huge variety on the menu.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After removing my youngest child from another nursery and placing him in Busy Bees, it finally put my mind at rest while out at work.


Both of my children have attended this nursery and I have been happy throughout with the care received.


Everything I have asked for has been stuck too, such as

certain sleeping times.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.307)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.307) out of 10 for Busy Bees Derby Heatherton 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 4.917 for Busy Bees Derby Heatherton is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.39 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Derby Heatherton is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.14
  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.
