Review from Suzanne Y (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has absolutely loved his time at Bees Knees from the day he started. The staff are great and my child has come on so much, from his eating to learning and his confidence has grown so much. The activities my son tells be about sound fun as well as educational, the staff really do go above and
beyond for the children they care for. We will miss nursery when he leaves in the summer. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have 3 children all have attended Bees Knees Nursery. I've never had a single problem or complaint. The staff are amazing with the children. There are lots for them to do which helps with their development, it's a safe space and staff are more than helpful, supporting children with any needs they
have. My daughter absolutely loves attending and loves the staff. I've had help with getting her to eat better, potty training support there is honestly not a bad word for me to say

Both my children have been to this nursery and both thrived. My son continues to now. They helped him gain confidence, speak a lot better and all-round amazing staff. They build close relationships with kids and families, I wouldn't have picked anywhere else.

I have my second baby attending Bees Knees. The staff are truly amazing, so friendly, always giving updates, and you can tell the kids absolutely love them. Love the photos and little notes on Tapestry where I can check what my son been up to. All the staff remembered my older son's name and little
stories about him after 6 years of leaving the nursery. Just shows how great the girls are. The nursery itself is lovely, clean, big garden, free parking outside which is always a bonus. There's not one thing I don't like about Bees Knees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has helped my child gain confidence around other children and people in general. His vocal speech has improved a lot and he really benefits from the activities and toys that the nursery provides for all of the children. The staff are caring and very sensitive concerning the children and
their needs.
My child has been able to bond with all of the members of staff in his section of the nursery and is understanding a lot more thanks to you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I absolutely love the girls that look after my son. They're friendly, approachable and always (even after hours) there to help.
The manager of the nursery is brilliant. Any questions or queries she is always at hand to help. She also knows each and every child which I feel is a nice touch.
The
things that my son learns about are things I would never imagine talking to him about. Fun and learning at the same time!
I couldn't have picked a better nursery to send my son to. I'll be devastated when he leaves in September.

The staff are caring and welcoming. The children are encouraged to try and participate in a wide range of activities. The food is varied and of a good standard. Parents/carers are encouraged to be part of the learning and development. Communication is encouraged.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Explorers Bootle 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 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 4.930 for Explorers Bootle is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.93
  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 4.913 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Explorers Bootle is based on 19 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.913
  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.
