Review from Julie M (Grandmother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everything about this nursery is excellent. My Grandson has been going for the last 2 years and really enjoys being there. All the staff are wonderful and go that extra mile for you. They keep you informed about his progress throughout the day via a app, were they send pictures of him playing, painting
and engaging in learning activities. In addition, at pick-up time, you are updated verbally on how the day has gone. The food is excellent, always healthy and varied. My grandson has an egg related allergy which is recognised by the catering staff and that is reassuring for us. I can honestly say, we feel confident that he is being looked after by all the staff in a safe and secure environment. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two sons started in September 2024 after being in a previous nursery from 6 and 3 months old. I was worried they would find it hard with the change however once they walked though the doors and after a couple of weeks it was like they had always been there. The staff in Busy Bees are absolutely amazing,
my two boys have an amazing relationship with them all. They have both come on leaps and bounds. My two boys who are 2 and 3 cry to go in and cheer when I when I pull up in the car park. The Nursey is spotless the staff are incredible, not only looking after my boys but to me. Nothing is ever a problem. The nursery is spotless and my boys having nothing but fun and cuddles. I wish I would have put them here from 3 and 6 months old. I am very grateful for my boys to have this amazing opportunity to develop and grow before they they start school and can assure if I ever have another child this is where they will be. I recommend to everyone. The care is impeccable!

Really lovely nursery, the staff are so warm and friendly. They create a positive and safe environment for my child to learn and develop. Parents are always kept updated on anything that parents may need to be aware of. This is done by their weekly newsletter and daily through the app when your child
attends. Nothing is an issue to all members of staff, regardless of any issues you might have. Really, really impressed and pleased that my child attends this nursery, as I know he will have the best start in his education journey.

My nephew attends Busy Bees Childwall and I honestly can not explain how amazing the team is. They go out of their way daily to ensure all children's needs are met, parents updated via the app daily which is lovely to see, they are truly an amazing team. The centre is run by two strong leaders, you
can see this through the staff's practice, both centre directors are strongly involved in the children's learning and development and you can see the love they have for each of the children who attend. My nephew's key worker is absolutely phenomenal, my nephew adores her and you can clearly tell how much she adores the children, nothing is ever too much effort and you can see how much work she puts into helping with the children's development.

My daughter has been at this nursery for eighteen months now and she absolutely loves it, she has come on leaps and bounds. The girls who work there are amazing and the activities they set up are so good, makes the drop-off even easier as there are lots of setups ready for the children to play. I also
think the food they serve is brilliant, lots of variety and some things I wouldn't do at home so the children are trying lots of new things!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees of Childwall is outstanding. Both my kids showed considerable progress in a short time after being at this nursery. The nursery staff are amazing.
My children love this nursery. There is also an application through which the staff stays connected with parents during the time the kids are
at the nursery. The staff always updates me and Dad about the kids and their activities.
Every activity at Busy Bees is purposeful, amusing, and educational. The variety of activities during each day is massive. My children always get back home with hands full of crafts and paintings. The nursery staff helps the child's creativity grow.
Plus creativity and Motivation, my kids have achieved great confidence, and excellent verbal skills, thanks to the nursery.
The quality of the food is also great. Children eat healthy at busy bees, having access to plenty of water.
We feel great that we picked this nursery for our kids. Strongly recommend this nursery to every parent.

Cannot praise this nursery enough. My little boy is thriving since joining here at 14 months old. Every staff member is amazing in particular his key worker. Always greeted with a smile and the app is always updated to ensure we know exactly how his day has gone.
Classroom activities have ensured
his knowledge continues to grow each week.
I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family. My other son is due to start next month also. I feel at ease going back to work knowing he will be looked after by all the team.

Both of my children have had their nursery schooling at Busy Bees and I cannot fault the Nursery and the wonderful team. The children love going to nursery and tell us all about their experiences day in and day out. We love the app and how regularly it is updated so that we understand more about their
learning journeys. Communication home could be slightly improved as we are often unsure of any events or activities but other than that we love Busy Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy has been attending this nursery for 6 months. It's a big decision to leave your child in the care of someone else at the beginning but we always felt confident in the brilliant staff who work at the nursery. We can't praise them enough, they are switched on, make an effort about all the
children's individual needs. Staff are knowledgeable and very good at keeping the app up to date and the choice of food he gets to eat is very good, even with a dietary requirement.
Overall, our little boy enjoys attending and gets very excited at just pulling up outside.

I love my little girl's nursery, staff are so kind and that’s the main thing I was looking for. They are always so happy to see her and she is happy with them. I am so happy to leave her here and know she is safe. She is very well looked after and I’ve never had any problems.

Lovely nursery, staff are all so friendly and caring. It's excellent in terms of learning, I feel as though my child has progressed in his walking, his speech, singing and the learning all of his colours, shapes and numbers since starting the nursery at 17 months old. Food is great and the safety of
the nursery is excellent. My child loves to draw and paint and brings home such lovely pictures.

My child seems to have settled in great in nursery after moving her from her previous one! All the staff are great and communicate very well. I love the app which I can see when my child eats sleeps and has nappy changes and any little activities she does during the day, which is great to see while
I'm at work. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Review from Gaynor R (Foster Parent of Child) published on 19 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is outstanding in every way. I have nothing but praise in every area. There is genuine care and love for the children. I've had two attend through the past year, one now in the toddler room and one in the baby room. My little ones have progressed very fast since starting. The eldest vocabulary
is fantastic, wide and varied. He loves the routines that have been set up there. They taught him to feed himself and is currently nearing potty training. The open-door policy shows how transparent they are. Being an ex-primary teacher, I'm convinced they would get outstanding in their next Ofsted. Well done to all the staff, including the chef, who makes the most deliciously nutritious meals. The nursery is managed by two fantastic women. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this nursery as the best in Childwall!

My daughter was extremely apprehensive about starting nursery for the first time in February at eleven months old, after spending time only with me at home. Two members of staff in the baby room were very reassuring during her settling in sessions and communication has been excellent, despite the additional
challenges of the pandemic. My daughter has soon settled in and has developed a lovely relationship with the staff and is making excellent progress. I have also found the admin staff and management to be very good at communicating and only have praise for the nursery setting and staff.

My son had started to get anxious about attending nursery, he would always be in tears at the mention of nursery, however, with lots of support from the nursery staff he started to feel more comfortable. He always comes out of nursery with such a big smile. My daughter is always ready to go to nursery
and can't get enough of nursery!

Both my girls have attended this nursery for around 18 months and absolutely love it. The teachers and staff are brilliant with them and always go above to make sure they have an enjoyable, rememberable day. They both get so excited to go in every day. The nursery were brilliant at helping me and directing
me with funding I am entitled to and made everything so understandable for me by breaking down everything. They always go above and beyond.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Busy Bees Childwall, Liverpool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.962 for Busy Bees Childwall, Liverpool is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.962
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Childwall, Liverpool 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
