Review from A P (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the nursery from age 7 months and is still in attendance now. The staff really do treat them like their own and the children are happy, safe and secure. I have always been kept well informed of her progress and the transitions between different rooms and staff have always been
smooth. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the local area.

My son loves going to nursery but I would prefer more help on assisting him, in particular in his welsh. I was brought up outside the UK so have no knowledge of Welsh and would like to help/understand for future reference.

Review from Sian D (Mother of Child) published on 3 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months old. At every stage I have been very impressed by the love, care and attention she has been shown. As a result, she has grown up confident, independent and has gained the necessary skills to aid a smooth transition to primary school. The staff
are professional, helpful, knowledgeable and caring. I cannot praise them, enough.

Review from C G (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff always welcome my child each morning with smiles and a friendly approach. This is important to me as my daughter is sensitive and takes a while to relax and be at ease.
However, my daughter has grown in confidence since attending here from 12 months old.
She is now 3 and a half years and loves
to talk about her day and activities she participated in.
She knows all her colours, shapes and can count to 20 which has well prepared her for attending nursery school in September. Thank you Busy Bees, I definitely would highly recommend you to friends and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery. The manager runs a tight ship and is always accommodating should I need her. The staff are friendly and genuinely care for the children. My daughters have both loved it and I have recommended to friends. Most importantly my daughters come out with smiles on their faces.

My son enjoyed his time here in the nursery. He attended Busy Bees for 4 years as he started when he was only five months old. The staff treated him as an individual and always showed care and compassion towards him.

Busy Bees have been wonderful so far. The staff are really friendly and helpful and my son really seems to enjoy himself. They are always doing fun activities with him like painting and crafts. They also teach him new things. I feel really reassured that he is such good hands while I am at work. I am
really grateful for all their hard work. Fantastic, couldn't recommend enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Busy Bees St David's 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.767 for Busy Bees St David's is calculated as follows: ( (349 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.767
  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 St David's is based on 33 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 129 number of registered child places is 25.8, which has been reached with 33 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.
