Review from Samantha S (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A professional but friendly environment which my daughter thoroughly enjoys going to.
I feel happy and confident to leave her in their hands and if I have any concerns the team there are all approachable.
We are both enjoying the activities that are happening during December with the lead up to Christmas.
I
would highly recommend the nursery to my friends, family and colleagues.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.105)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.105) out of 10 for Busy Bees Kettering 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 4.2 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 4.948 for Busy Bees Kettering is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.948
  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 4.157 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Kettering 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.357
  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.

Welcome to Busy Bees Kettering, My name is Manisha Patel I have been working in childcare since 2005 and have a BA Learning and Teaching Degree and have an Early Years Professional Status. I enjoy the company of children because of their inquisitive minds and their sense of humour. I feel a great sense of accomplishment in helping children achieve and enjoy their time at nursery. Seeing children meet their milestones gives me great job satisfaction!


Most of all I get a great sense of achievement and feeling of well-being when I help others succeed.
