Review from Sharon M (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find staff very helpful and caring. My daughter has been attending nursery nearly 3 months now. At first, she was a bit unsettled but the staff made her feel very comfortable and engaged. Some went to an extent of carrying her around until she stopped crying. A lot of reassurance was given to both
my daughter and I.
My daughter has a sense of belonging now. She feels very comfortable and enjoys being at nursery. Thanks to all the lovely staff for your love and care. Staff are well led and very responsive.

Review from Anna C (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery since 9 months old. I feel the staff have grown up with him and have really taken the time to get to know his personality. They have always been very flexible with sessions to accommodate my shift working pattern.
Food is varied and produced on site to a high standard.
The only negative is the limited outside space but staff still ensure children get as much fresh air as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Bush Babies since she was nine months old, she is now two and a ½ years old and she absolutely loves it.
My daughter loves all the staff there and refers to them as her friends.
They have helped with teaching her to crawl, walk, talk, potty train and try new foods.
My
daughter is always surprising me with the new things she has learnt and I feel the nursery has helped bring out her funny personality.
As a parent, I feel very confident leaving her at this nursery. I know she is well looked after and has lots of fun there as well as helping her progress in all areas. I also know that if she is upset or feeling under the weather, she will be well cared for and will get the extra cuddles if she needs them.

Review from Dimple R (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have had the wonderful benefit of attending Bush Babies Leicester Oadby. The manager and the caring staff at this nursery carry out their responsibilities in caring, nurturing and educating the children to a standard of excellence that I feel would not be easily found within the childcare
industry.


Children are treated, without exception, with kindness and respect, each child is made to feel so valued and important. As a parent, I have always found the lines of communication between the staff at Bush Babies and myself open always. My both boys have gained so much confidence during their time with the manager and the lovely carers- it is so wonderful to see how they are growing in confidence and I attribute much of this development to the way they are cared for and taught whilst at Bush Babies. The level of care and dedication displayed by the manager and the staff is second to none.


I recommend Bush Babies Leicester Oadby in the highest of terms.

Review from Emilia F (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I decided to write a review about Bush Babies in Oadby because my daughter is now 3 and a half and she has been going there since she was 1 years old. She is a very shy girl. The staff at the nursery are very friendly and caring, which shows on my daughter as she loves going there and doing all the
fun activities they do. She talks about what they did each time she goes. They handled her shyness very well and encouraged her to be involved in all the activities.This has helped to build up her confidence with communication.
I also had a lot of support from management. As a working mother, I also study, and thanks to the nursery I am able to carry on. They are very flexible with the days my daughter can come in as long as they get days booked in advance, which is understandable. This is one of their great benefits and I would recommend this nursery to my family and friends. I am very happy with the service and I feel very relaxed when at work as I know she is enjoying herself and is well looked after.

The nursery has been absolutely fantastic with settling my child in and making me feel comfortable. They have been ever so accommodating and are very informative. They have been very professional with the care given and keeping me informed with the progress my child has been making.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.434)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.434) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leicester Oadby 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.865 for Busy Bees Leicester Oadby is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.865
  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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Leicester Oadby is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769
  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.
