Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at this nursery for 2 years, he was very shy at first. Since going to this nursery he's gained so much confidence hes made loads of friends and good relationships with the teachers in the ladybird room and I really can't rate/thank this nursery enough for how well they do they are amazing
and the activities they do are brillant. All the teachers are so lovely and helpful i will be sad to see my little boy go this year but I want to thank the ladybird room teachers on the fantastic job you do! Thank you for helping my little boy and giving him a brillant start .

Review from Yuvi P (Father of Child) published on 14 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended this nursery from 2 years old until she started school recently. The staff are great and very supportive, for example when grandma passed away, they went above and beyond to support my daughter to understand and cope with the situation through child-friendly ways. The care is always
brilliant and I love the focus on healthy eating and their 'no sugar policy'. Even with my daughter's allergy, the staff helped reassure us she will be in safe hands. Now my daughter has started school, it is clear she is academically ahead of her class. Coincidentally so is another child who went to Bright Bees. On reflection, the focus this nursery has on child development is clearly the reason. Special mention to specific members of staff. Also a huge thanks to the staff behind the scenes, we didn’t get to meet.

My children do not enjoy going anywhere as much as they do going to Bright Bees Nursery Gipsy Lane. This is so comforting as a parent, as I know my children are getting top quality care and having fun time at the nursery.

Bright Bees Nursery is family-owned and managed, the excellent management know all the children personally. The nursery management are absolutely meticulous on processes which meant we always felt 100% confident that the safety of our children was assured and they would follow a good routine.
All of
my three children have attended Bright Bees Nursery since they were babies until starting school and we could not be happier with the service they provide, always flexible and accommodating. All the staff are very warm and engaged with the children's welfare and development.
The setting is light and spacious, very well equipped and clean. There are lots of fun and stimulating activities. The staff form strong bonds with the children and provide personalised care. I could not recommend and thank you, Bright Bees Nursery enough.

My daughter has blossomed since starting at Bright Bees nursery. She has formed strong relationships with all familiar staff within the room and I truly think this is down to the caring and naturing environment and that the practitioners are truly passionate about Early Years and the children who are
in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bright Bees is the best nursery. My daughter has been here for over 6 months and she has settled in really well. Staff make the upmost effort to make sure children have an amazing day, they teach children numbers, letters, phonics, writing etc. They provide children with a stimulating indoor and outdoor
environment. Different activities and resources are provided to children on a daily basis.
Trips are planned termly linked into themes, Space centre and farm so far this year.
Themes are on a week to two week basis. These are the perfect way to indulge children with creative play and help children to come out of their shell.
They have set menus for different terms providing children with different healthy meals. Staff make sure children are clean and tidy throughout the day.
Staff are very caring towards individual children's needs and expectations, as well as staff are always there for the parents. They really care about parents involvement and opinions.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.037)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.037) out of 10 for Bright Bees Nursery Gipsy Lane 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Bright Bees Nursery Gipsy Lane is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
  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 3.037 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Bees Nursery Gipsy Lane is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 135 number of registered child places is 27. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 27 = 0.037
  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.
