Review from Christina M (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has attended Busy Bees since he was 7 months old. He is now nearly 3 years old and ready to move to the pre-school room. He has always enjoyed going to the nursery and is greeted with a warm, friendly welcome every morning by the lovely staff. All the staff across all areas of the nursery are
extremely helpful and ensure my child is happy and well looked after. There are a wide range of activities available to him both inside and out. I would recommend this nursery to any parent looking for high-quality care and a caring environment for their child, it's fab!

My daughter loves going to the nursery. She is 18 months and gets very excited every morning when she gets her coat on and sees the yellow bee backpack. She is always bringing home lovely drawings. I have just had a beautiful card for Mother's Day. I believe she is well cared for, always happy and content
when I go to pick her up. Recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Stacy L (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The nursery has gone through a lot of changes in management since my daughter started in 2014. I am now starting to see a positive change with staff and children (including my daughter) all seem a lot happier. My daughter loves the activities that she gets to do whilst in nursery and we are currently
looking forward to seeing the Christmas carol service that my daughter is taking part in next week.

If you are looking for a nursery that understands that every child is an individual and develops activities specific for your child's developmental needs, this is the nursery for you. My son has attended this nursery since he was 11 months old and I couldn't be happier.
The management and staff are
supportive to parents and your child. This was the best choice of nursery for me and my son.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.591)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.591) out of 10 for Busy Bees Corby 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.826 for Busy Bees Corby is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.826
  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 4.765 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Corby is based on 13 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.765
  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.
