Review from Tara D (Mother of Child) published on 5 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise this nursery enough! As a mother who was returning back to work, I was concerned with how my child would settle in and how much I would miss out on his development. My child is also on medication and has food allergies. The staff are always so cautious with administering his medication
and he has a one to one during meal times to prevent him consuming any of his allergy foods. The paper work regarding his health/medication/risk assessment is always thorough and up to date....as a parent this makes me feel very reassured. Often my child comes home with paintings or photographs showing me how he has spent his day. He also has a nursery book which tells me everything from how much he has drank, eaten/what he has eaten, how many nappy changes he has had and at what time, what activities he has taken part in - communication is fantastic! His learning journey is full of all the interesting things he has done (evidence of the activities he has taken part in) and details of his development.
The staff are very approachable/friendly but also professional. My little boy puts his hands out to the staff every morning to greet them and he always gets excited when the manager pops into the room. When we go to collect him, he's really happy to see us but he tends to carry on playing which shows us how content he is there. He also sleeps and eats well at nursery which also shows me how comfortable he is being at Busy Bees. When the nursery manager pops into the rooms, all the children know her and she knows everything about all of the little ones that attend the nursery.....I've even seen the manager taking part in activities with the children and going on trips out - this is something which I find lovely. Equally the staff all seem really happy at work and relaxed when the manager pops into the rooms....this shows me that the working relationship with staff is good.

Review from Garry W (Father of Child) published on 30 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall we were pleased with my our son's recent review, which we found informative and well presented. As his parents we are happy with how he has settled at Busy Bees and are pleased with how he's developing, which is a credit to the staff. He is also confident around other children and mixes well,
which we believe is down to his time at Busy Bees.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Busy Bees Loughborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.811 for Busy Bees Loughborough is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.811
  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 Loughborough is based on 16 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 16 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.
