Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy loves his time at nursery he has so much fun playing and the staff are very good at keeping us updated at how he is developing and how we can help him develop, he has come on so much. He gets involved in so many activities which we wouldn't be able to do at home. He runs into nursery
and can have a great time with his key worker and all his friends. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend to others.

Great nursery, my daughter has been going for over a year now and loving her time at nursery. Her key worker and all the staff work really hard to help her develop and I am regularly updated with how’s she is doing. So many activities to get involved in to keep her busy and she has made so many friends.
A lovely staff team which she runs in to see.

My child started at the nursery last year and settled so well with the amazing staff team.
Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. Her keyworker made me feel at ease and from the first trial built up a great bond with my daughter. She is always happy to attend nursery and this makes my working day
easier. Busy Bees at Long Eaton is a fantastic nursery and my daughter is learning and growing so well thanks to the dedication given to my child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Busy Bees now for over 6 months and she absolutely loves it. She seems to have built a great bond with her room staff, they're always doing different activities, trying new things and giving the children new experiences. I feel like the staff have taken the time to get
to know and her little personality and always communicate well on what she has done in the day, things she's achieved and what we can be working towards. I never feel rushed when I drop her off or collect her either.


Alice started attending nursery from 7 months and both friends and family members have commented on how well she is doing and advancing. I would recommend this nursery to any family in the area and am so glad we chose them. Alice starts and finishes her day there with a smile on her face.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been extremely impressed with all areas of the nursery. The specially designed menu ensures that your children are getting a healthy balanced diet, which is really important. The staff are warm and approachable and seem to genuinely care about the children. My little girl absolutely loves the
staff, which makes leaving her in the morning so much easier. There is always loads going on in the rooms, with different activities, crafts, themes etc and the outside facilities are excellent. My little girl has made os much progress since attending nursery with regards to her speech and learning and she loves attending which is the most important thing for me.

My children have been attending this nursery for two years. The care and education they receive has been amazing, and I would recommend this nursery to any parents interested. The staff have been really informative and considerate, which makes leaving my children in day care while I work, that much
easier. Thank-you.

We selected Busy Bees, Long Eaton because we felt welcomed from our first contact. The care that is provided here is superb and I have been able to confidently leave my daughter here knowing that she is being nurtured and looked after similarly, or even better than I could provide day in and out. The
staff here will where possible, accommodate requests for specific parenting styles and approaches to ensure a seamless transition from home to nursery.

My daughter moved to Busy Bees at Long Eaton in January 2017. The staff were very helpful in making my daughter feel very welcome and settled. The staff are very caring and attend to my child's needs. The nursery offers a variety of different types of activities and has an outdoor sensory garden that
my daughter thoroughly enjoys. I definitely have picked the best nursery and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Busy Bees is a very good nursery environment. It's clean secure and the staff really understand my child's needs. In the toddler room, they really helped with potty/toilet training. The girls are fab! In the pre-school room, the assistants are good. There are a few things that would make the room much
better.
1) The key workers to spend more time in the preschool room (rather than in any rooms).
2) I don't feel I truly understand what my child has been doing each day and always a queue at pick up time.
3) I would like to see more educational activity and parents to be informed of this.

The staff at Busy Bees, Long Eaton were great at settling my little boy at nursery. He soon settled with the friendly staff caring for him and he was soon eager to go to nursery every day. My boy loves to get involved in all the different activities they have to offer and keep me up to date with how
he is developing and also offer parents evenings and advice. Would definitely recommend this lovely nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.060)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.060) out of 10 for Busy Bees Long Eaton 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 4.906 for Busy Bees Long Eaton is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.906
  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 4.154 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Long Eaton 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 113 number of registered child places is 22.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.6 = 0.354
  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.
