Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has recently started in the baby room. We looked around many nurseries before choosing Busy Bees. We were instantly drawn to the "home from home" feel of the nursery. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and we felt happy leaving our daughter knowing that she would be cared for and engaged
in exciting activities. We were recommended to Busy Bees by friends and family and we, in turn, would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality childcare.

I Would not recommend this nursery to anyone.
The list is endless as to why not. Endless complaints about the daily running of the nursery.
Communication is appalling between management and parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my granddaughters have attended Busy Bees in Brough at some point. My two youngest still attend. The reception staff are always friendly and welcoming and there are lots to look at in the reception area. Whenever I go to pick up the girls they are engaged in some lovely activity I sometimes
feel guilty taking them away. The food is good and so varied encouraging children to try new interesting foods.
I love this nursery and so do the children.

Our eldest daughter has been at Busy Bees for around 18 months. We are really happy with her progress and at how she and key contacts have forged close bonds. It is clear that she is really close to and fond of a number of staff there and it's great to drop her knowing she is going to be safe, engaged
with and most importantly enjoy her time there. We know ourselves that our daughter can be challenging at times and are really grateful to all the team for their efforts. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since starting nursery, my little one's development has come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery staff actively encourage the children in their care to develop their skills and improve on them.
If there is anything the child is lacking in (in our case, numeracy skills) the nursery will pick up on this
and encourage the child to practice the skill.
The staff are friendly, approachable and accommodating. My child loves to go to nursery and has flourished in their nurturing environment.

My son enjoys attending the Busy Bees nursery. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and caring. My sons learning is fully supported and they continually find ways to challenge and aid his development. I always feel assured that he is in a safe and fun environment. My only recommendation would be
to upgrade the outdoor areas and equipment including a refresh of some indoor activities to keep things new and different. Maybe also consider language classes for pre-school and drop-in sessions for gardening or animal handling or music.

My 3-year-old has attended the nursery since she was 10 months old and had the best experience here. She loves joining in with the science experiments, Rugbytots and other exciting activities. She has made lots of friends and absolutely loves the pre-school staff that care for her.

Review from Katie (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can honestly say that for a mother of three there's no other nursery I would want my children to attend.


The staff are absolutely amazing with my daughter and have brought her on so much in ways I may not have been able to due to being back at work full time.


There attention to detail is impeccable

and the love the staff show towards the children makes me, as a mother, happy to leave my children in their care.


My daughter runs into nursery with pure joy and to me that shows the staff are doing an amazing job (my daughter is hard to please).


Thank you for all the support you give my children. I do and will continue to recommend Busy Bees to anyone who needs top quality child care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves and enjoys her time at the nursery, she has made a fantastic relationship with her keyworker as well as the staff in her room. I have no doubt that she fits in with the routine and the standard of care received is outstanding. She does enjoy the activities and she is given a challenge
adapting her activities to her needs. Her recent assessment shows she is where she needs to be in her development.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Brough since she was 7 months old and this year she will be leaving to go to school. She attends 2 days a week and loves her time at Busy Bees.
She has developed so well all thanks to the stimulating environment the lovely activities and the knowledgeable staff.
The nursery has recently being redecorated and it looks so homely and welcoming for everyone. We always get good feedback on an evening about our daughter's meals and what she has been doing during the day. I do like that all the meals are home cooked meals on site, gives you piece of mind that the meals are nutritional for the children.

My son has been attending Busy Bees in Brough for 14 months and both he and I love it. The staff are very friendly and personable. The food is made on site and delicious and they do a large range of activities with him. He has come on leaps and bounds since attending and comes home surprising me with
his new found skills. I would thoroughly recommend Busy Bees in Brough to any parent or carer.

My daughter attends the nursery a few sessions a week and loves it!
The staff are friendly and professional and leaving my child in their care I feel at ease knowing that she will be cared for, cater for her needs and know that she will be in a safe and stable environment.
Busy Bees in Brough has
a nursery home feel, with freshly cooked meals on site.
The nursery has recently had a refurbishment, and looks amazing, with a new fantastic look and approach to children's learning offering a wide range of activities to help children reach their full potential and more.
The gardens and outdoor play area are brilliant as they offer outside play all the time letting the children learn and explore whatever the weather may be.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.226)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.226) out of 10 for Busy Bees Brough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.763 for Busy Bees Brough is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.763
  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 4.463 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Brough is based on 10 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.463
  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.
