Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely happy with the service I get with my little boy here. I speak to all levels daily and they have always been friendly, enthusiastic and helpful.


My little boy really enjoys going in and is always happy afterwards from his fun-filled day.


They have healthy food cooked on site and every

day is varied to help the children develop.

Amazing nursery, great staff which are always here to help. My daughter has learnt so much since she has been here and this has been massively due to the amazing members of staff both in management and general.
Love this nursery and will definitely recommend.

A great nursery where my 1st son attended and I couldn't fault. So my decision to send my 2nd son was so easy to make. Again all staff and room cater well for all the children's needs.

My daughter is just starting in 'Poppies' and every effort is being made to help her and me acclimatise to the nursery. The settle sessions are going really well and I am confident that by the time she starts her full days it will be smooth, for her anyway. Very warm and caring environment.

My daughter has bloomed at the Busy Bees Nursery. She is becoming very independent. My daughter looks so happy and engaged and is having the best time of her life! She also looks forward to go into nursery every day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think Busy Bees has been fantastic from day one and through all my child's development. The carers always keep me updated on what my child has been up to during the day. My little boy seems happy playing all day with the other children and he has made special bonds with his carers, he definitely has
a few favourites!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been at Busy Bees Nursery in Wootton since he was 7 months old and he is now 3 and a half. He is happy to come into the nursery and has made so many friends. The staff are warm and welcoming to me and my child. I have been really happy with all the care he has been given. The preschool
room is wonderful, lots going on and they are working hard to get him ready for school. The food is great, hot meals every day (better than my cooking at home)! There is lots of outside space which is great for my little boy who is on the go all the time.

This nursery is actually over 5 miles away, but I walked in and it felt right. Clean, happy children, great staff and instantly I knew this nursery won hands down over the others I visited. The food menu changes and involves all foods from around the world. Fun days and weekly activities keep my son
entertained. All staff build a relationship with you and management are approachable. Over Christmas the nursery made with the kids, gifts for the parents, calenders, cards, tree decorations. I love to know what he's been doing. I am one very happy parent.

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.
