The nursery have been fantastic and the level of care my child receives is great. I go to work safe in the knowledge that he is happy, fed and enjoying himself and that’s so important.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been with the nursery just over a year now when I returned to work when he was just 7 months old. The team in the baby room, especially one person, have just been fabulous with him. Following all routines I set and ensuring he’s always happy and comfortable. I’m so happy with his attendance
there and the staff. He loves the garden space, variety in activities and they provide a good varied diet. My only recent disappointment is the second increase in fees. As I feel these do not sit with inflation and if they continue to increase, when my wages don’t, sadly we may have to look elsewhere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Busy Bees nursery for 1 year now and we are always aware about his daily activities during the day.
Our son enjoys being at nursery and in the evenings he sings songs (rhymes) from nursery.
The food is very good and tasty because my child always eats everything.
Everyone
is very helpful at nursery.
Children spend a lot of time in the garden which is very big and has artificial grass.

Review from Fiona P (Mother of Child) published on 21 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have always had extremely positive experiences with the nursery. The staff have clearly taken the time to get to know my child, his likes and his personality. I have been particularly impressed lately with the way in which the staff have supported me during my child's ill-health. He has been quite
poorly and they have made suggestions to future-proof further relapses and gone out of their way to help get him back to full health. Always cheery and always acknowledge and say hello to parents and children which I think is very important.

My son really enjoys coming to nursery.
He's learnt so much, he's singing and dancing a lot more at home since being at nursery. The staff are great with him, they understand his needs and moods and they keep me up to date with everything he does had done and his next steps.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees has created a well rounded social child of my daughter. She can't wait to arrive in the morning and doesn't want to leave at lunchtime.
Her key worker is her carer and her best friend.
We couldn't ask for a better team to look after our princess.

Outstanding people/staff.
Feels like dropping my child off with friends!
My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining in October. Staff are always willing to support from child development to personal support. Nothing is ever a bother!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It took my son around 5 months to really settle in and seem comfortable but in that time, the staff really went out of their way to help him feel comfortable.


There were days that I would come to collect him and the ladies would be cuddling him and really seemed to care about him. Staff around the

nursery, not just his room, will always acknowledge him and they all seem to know every child's name.

I am new to the area and from the enquiries up to my daughter starting I have had excellent services and support from everyone at Busy Bees. I have been listened to regarding my concerns and have had excellent feedback.
My child has been to numerous settings but this is the first nursery where she
has been truly happy. This is a joy to see.
I can't praise this nursery enough and though she will only be here a short time I know that she will be ready for school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.575)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.575) out of 10 for Busy Bees Wootton Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.710 for Busy Bees Wootton Fields is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.71
  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 4.865 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Wootton Fields is based on 18 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.865
  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.
