  • Busy Bees East Kilbride, Glasgow
A homely and versatile facility, Busy Bees East Kilbride embraces the challenges that parents face in bringing up young children; there are regular opportunities to speak to the key workers who monitor each child’s development, both on a daily and weekly basis but also at parents’ evenings and a number of social events.

The nursery is well-equipped to encourage essential pre-school and age-specific skills, but everyone also enjoys getting involved in community fundraising pursuits, hosting fun days and raising money for charities with popular activities all through the year.

Review from R L (Father of Child) published on 14 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant staff, very good with my son. They have worked on making him feel welcome and integrating him into the class. The only issue is the confusing invoicing system.

Review from A B (Father of Child) published on 12 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have sent both of our daughters to this nursery and we wouldn't want them anywhere else. The staff are always friendly and informative. The staff make an effort at the end of each day to inform us of what has happened during our child's day. The staff work very hard and it shows with our children's
development. We feel the nursery in both cases has prepared our daughters for the best start to school.

Review from Suzanne G (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have used Busy Bees for 7 years with three children. My children were all safe, happy, well fed, stimulated so could not ask for more. Staff I found to be warm and caring and genuinely fond of my kids. The outside space is great and woodlands experience fab. No place is perfect but my experience has
been very positive and I was very sad when my last child left.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.194)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.194) out of 10 for Busy Bees East Kilbride is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Busy Bees East Kilbride is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
  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 3.236 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees East Kilbride is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.111
  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.
