Review from Lisa (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees is a wonderful nursery for many different reasons - First of all, and most importantly, my daughter loves it and has a great time whilst she is there (which speaks for itself), and I know without a doubt that she is safe and well cared for. It has an open door policy; the manager and staff
are always so welcoming, friendly and informative no matter what. The addition of the ParentZone app also adds to the great communication between parents and staff; it's lovely to see photo's and read about what your child has been doing. There is a wide range of activities both inside and out, with access to a lovely big garden, regardless of weather; and the activities themselves are essentially centred around play so it's great to know that they are learning whilst also having fun! The meals and snacks provided are brilliant and it's reassuring to know that my daughter is enjoying delicious, healthy food when she is there. Without any hesitation, I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees at Southwell is a great nursery with fantastic staff. There is an open door policy and you always feel very welcomed whenever you go in. My son loves going to nursery and I am always comfortable that he is very well taken care of. The staff always come up with the new fun activities for them
to do and they play a lot outside when the weather permits. The food and menu is also very good, nutritional and that my son enjoys eating. The nursery has a very homely feel and staff constantly provide feedback. They also go out of their way to organise additional activities e.g. summer fair, parents evenings, grandparents tea etc.. Management is also very friendly and great with communication. I feel that most importantly it is a very safe environment for my son.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.797) out of 10 for Busy Bees Southwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.234 for Busy Bees Southwell is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.234
  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 3.563 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Southwell is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.313
  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.
