Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston opened in 2006.

It is a bright, friendly and welcoming nursery with a dedicated staff team to give your children the best start in life.

The Bumbo Room (0-2) are based in their own secure unit with a separate milk kitchen. The babies participate in lots of sensory activities and have access to an age-appropriate garden.

The Bumble Room (2-3 years) has a spacious room with access to a covered outdoor canopied toddler area to support free flow in all weathers. Staff aid children with independence such as potty/toilet training and preparing them for their transition to the Pre-school room.

The Buzz Room (3-5 years) has access to a large and spacious room with access to another room for small group focus activities. The staff aid the children with independence and support "school readiness" teaching them the skills they need to be confident in their transition to school.

Each room focuses on the children's interests and activities are based around this which is evident in their implementation books. Environments are inviting and appealing for the children to approach freely.

The nursery celebrates all different festivals, birthdays and children's achievements!

They have a strong partnership with parents, keeping them informed of their child's development through parents meetings and general conversations.

There are many learning opportunities, exploration and adventure for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. Each room is a hub of activity, allowing children to be busy developing and learning new skills throughout their day.

There is a beautiful age-appropriate newly refurbished garden with various resources and activities for the children to access and participate in. They also have "Get Active With Buzz" as physical development is very important for children.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am confident that my son is looked after very well and in good care whilst at the nursery. He has a great bond with his key worker and she has done a great job. Whilst he has been in the baby room, the handover when picking him up is good and you are kept well informed of his day's activity.

All the staff and management team are always friendly caring and approachable and have helped us in our time of need. My 2nd daughter will definitely be attending as we have had such a positive experience
with the setting and our daughter has received such great care. And that is all down to you guys thank you all so very much xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves coming to nursery. He has a very special bond with staff, especially his key worker who he is happy to be passed over to without getting upset and will wave us goodbye. The care is fantastic! The staff are very nurturing and I feel safe leaving my child with them. I love receiving all
of the artwork and photos of activities that he has participated in! All staff throughout the rooms will acknowledge him and always say hello. Communication between myself and the staff is great! They always keep me informed on what he has done throughout the day, what he has eaten etc.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.782)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.782) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston 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 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.782 for Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston is calculated as follows: ( (460 Excellents x 5) + (103 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 574 Ratings = 4.782
  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 Leicester Thurmaston is based on 48 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 48 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.
