Review from Catherine B (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Kindercare Cornwall Road is a really friendly and welcoming nursery. The manager and her team are a really happy group and you can see that filters down to the children. With excellent outdoor facilities, a huge sandpit and great climbing castle, the kids have a great time outside.
Inside everything
is clean and tidy whilst the children are still involved in lots of activities.


My daughter started at 12 months old settled in straight away and we've never looked back.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 years and absolutely loves it! The staff are fantastic and he has progressed so much with his speech and knowledge.
Their help and advice throughout the years has been invaluable and it's a relief to know when I leave my son he is safe and happy!

I have 2 children that attend this nursery, and I can not fault the level of care that my children receive. They look forward to attending their sessions and have made great friends. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really enjoys being at Kindercare - Cornwall Road and has good relationships with all the staff members. When I ask who is going to be at Nursery today he always mentions the staff before the other children. I am very happy with the way Kindercare are teaching my son, with numbers, words, colours
etc. especially when he comes out with things that I haven't taught him so I know he is learning a lot by being at Kindercare.

Since my son has been going to nursery we can't believe how much it has exceeded our expectations. My little one has now started to really settle in and is really enjoying himself and I know he is having a lovely time everyday and eating lots of healthy food with lots of variety. The relationships he
is developing with not only the other kids but more importantly with the nursery staff is so comforting and we are made to feel that he is the focus of their day even though there are lots of other kids there too. It is just what we wanted for the next stage in his development and love watching him interact with his friends. The staff are great, so friendly and give lots of detail of what my little one has been up to, so you don't feel like you've missed out on anything!

My son has been at KinderCare - Cornwall Road since he was 8 months old. The staff are very caring and supportive. My son has dual language, as a family, we are being helped by the staff who have fabulous skills and experience working with my son in both Polish and English. It is also good that some
of the staff are Polish.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My children have been attending KinderCare - Cornwall Road for a few years now, and I have been delighted with the care they have received. When my family first moved into the area a few years ago, my then 2-year-old daughter was very nervous about starting a new nursery. The staff at KinderCare made
her feel welcome immediately and gave her those extra cuddles she needed to feel more at home. Additionally, my son who is very shy/anxious around strangers runs into his class every morning with barely a goodbye kiss, as he is so comfortable with the staff and excited to be there.

We absolutely love Kindercare - Cornwall Rd. It came to us highly recommended by several friends and we also do not hesitate to recommend it to others! One of our favourite things about the nursery is the staff ... they are all so lovely, provide loads of support, and genuinely care about my son who
has been with this nursery since he was 9months old (now 3yrs)! We are looking forward to continuing with this nursery when our daughter is 9months old!

The staff here are lovely and really get to know the children. It is small enough to be friendly and large enough for the children to have the opportunity for great interactions with the other children. My child loves going and happily runs in to see her friends. There's a good variety of activities
and plenty of outdoor play.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Busy Bees Harrogate Cornwall Road 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.935 for Busy Bees Harrogate Cornwall Road is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.935
  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 Harrogate Cornwall Road is based on 14 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
