The Review Score of 8.8 (maximum of 10) for Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.771 for Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.771
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.006 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 15.6 positive Reviews (78 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 15.6 Target = 0.256
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

All 3 children were at Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield in different rooms and my husband and I couldn't have made a better choice. The staff are kind and caring and always updating us on every detail and the team are very understanding and that's important as a parent. I felt that my daughter's confidence has increased, whereas at the beginning she was shy and didn't speak much but after a while, they reassured me that it's her personality and nothing to worry about.
My kids are always excited to come to Busy Bees and have learnt and developed a lot which was very important to me and throughout my stay here, I never had any concerns with any of the staff or the nursery. I would and I have recommended Busy Bees at Manchester Fallowfield to friends and family and if they didn't move too far away, I would still keep them here till they started school.

It has been a joy to find this nursery. We looked at several and we decided on this because of the friendliness of the staff, the location and the size. It's so open and so bright and very inviting. My daughter absolutely loves coming.

Overall a very good nursery with friendly staff and good resources. Both my children enjoy going to nursery and look forward to getting involved in different activities.
They could, however, improve on providing regular updates on learning skills achieved by the children and update on staff changes.

Busy Bees is a great childcare facility. It provides a safe environment for children to play and learn. The staff are friendly, experienced and caring and there's good communication with parents. Both my children have thrived here and made friends and established good relationships with staff. They have enjoyed every minute of it. My youngest is still attending and she's a happy little girl, always excited to go to nursery in the morning. I think that says it all!

This is a fabulous nursery and I would recommend it to anyone who lives nearby and is looking for a safe, caring and loving place for their child to play.
My son has been at Busy Bees for approx 6 months. The nursery has been a big part of our lives since February and both my son, husband and I will miss the daily dropping off and picking up and finding out what exciting activities have happened that day.
My son has without a doubt, grown in confidence, and has learnt to socialise and play with other children. The staff are incredibly friendly, patient and helpful and I cannot fault them.
The variety of food throughout the day is second to none and all dietary requirements are catered for.
Overall, an amazing start for my son, who is now ready to start a new chapter at school.

I am confident with the services this nursery provides as both my children have attended with a 7 year gap. Whilst both children have attended it still has the same staff as previous and that to means a lot. Each child is treated with individuality and their needs are met. Staff are friendly and warming too.

My child has settled in brilliantly and the staff are welcoming and attentive especially his key worker.
He runs into nursery in the mornings and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up.
I am more than happy to leave him and he has come on leaps and bounds.
