Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the nursery since May 2013 and really enjoys himself, has lots of friends and talks highly of all the staff. My daughter started in May 2016, she settled really quickly. The staff are fantastic and are aware of the children's needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Busy Bees since January this year, he attends full time and loves coming into Nursery. Each member of staff goes out of their way each morning and night to make my son feel welcome and special. I connect is updated each night so I know everything my son has been up to, as well
as seeing beautiful pictures of what he has been creating in the day. He is a very caring child and I feel that has a lot to do with the key staff in his room. We receive pictures each day to show his creativity within the room and the staff displays A3 posters of fun filled activities that go on each day in nursery. Management are attentive and proactive and are always welcoming. I would always promote this nursery to others, and encourage friends to bring their children here.

Review from Rachel S (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with the standard of care that my child has received throughout the one and a half years he has been attended the nursery.
My child has been encouraged and guided in his development, creatively and academically in ways that I would never have thought of. Since joining the nursery
my child has become a lot more socially confident and now enjoys playing in groups of children and
is happy to be left with any of the members of staff.
During his time in the nursery various requests have been made by myself for extra input of care either for medical or personal care reasons and these have always been met by the nursery staff as required.
Also, the menu at the nursery has given my child a healthy varied diet that he seems to enjoy.

Review from Karen H (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mother of a child who has attended Busy Bees at RPH over the last 2 years I cannot praise the management team and the nursery nurses enough, this is an excellent nursery and provides high-quality childcare. Parents can be assured that their child will be cared for by exceptional and motivated staff
that clearly enjoy the role they do. All aspects of the children's needs are managed appropriately and every effort is made to ensure the children feel at home.


At Busy Bees the children are looked after within a purpose-built and secure environment with the necessary toys, equipment and activites to keep children stimulated. The menu has also been very well thought through and provides children with balanced and nutritional meals.


The nursery also uses 'Parent zone' enabling parents to review a timeline of their child's activities which are also mapped to the developmental assessments (Early Years Foundation).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been using Busy Bees Nursery since 2013 when my daughter joined. She started school this time but my son is still there (he is 2). I cannot fault the nursery or the staff. Both my children love it and so do I. As a mum, it is hard to leave your children with someone else, but the whole team at
Busy Bees have made it that bit easier for me as their professionalism and care is second to none.
All of the girls are always happy to help with any queries that I may have. At the beginning of this year (whilst still attending nursery) my daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy. To say that the girls put my mind at ease is an understatement. Thanks to their care, attention and willingness to learn more about it, I felt completely satisfied that should my daughter have a seizure whilst in their care, she would be in safe hands. This really is a fabulous nursery and the staff (especially the management team) are a credit to the Busy Bees Company.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.571)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.571) out of 10 for Busy Bees Preston Hospital 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.879 for Busy Bees Preston Hospital is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.879
  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 4.692 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Preston Hospital is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917
  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.
