Brilliant nursery and some really amazing staff members, really happy overall. Only thing I think that could be improved, would be that the nursery could offer half days.

The staff treat the children with care, interest and affection. The staff always seem happy and there is a lovely, friendly atmosphere throughout the nursery. The food is varied and healthy. The communication between the nursery and parents is excellent. The nursery offers a stimulating and playful
environment. I feel very comfortable leaving my children in such capable and caring hands.

A very reassuring place for both of my children. Always great care for them, staff in all areas are engaged and there is a great atmosphere. No hesitation in recommending. Varied curriculum and activities. Well planned out food for them too. Overall, 10/10 I could not be happier.

Review from Leigh-Ann H (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot explain how lucky I feel to have found this nursery, the staff go above and beyond for children. My daughter was only there for a few months but they helped her so much with getting ready for school, she is now exceeding in all areas. My son has been there for over a year now and I cannot express
how much he’s grown as a person, one of the nursery nurses went out of her way daily to make sure he was settled, learning & feeling happy. She would always give the most amazing feedback and give suggestions on how to encourage him at home. The support didn’t stop when he moved rooms, he got the same encouragement and support from other staff members. The management team are amazing, nothing you ask for is ever too much and it’s sorted quickly and professionally. If you haven’t viewed this nursery you are missing out! I felt so guilty leaving my son to work full time, however I have nothing but trust and faith in all the members of staff in egg day nursery. Thank you so much for all you do!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.532)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.532) out of 10 for Busy Bees Picket Twenty is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.699 for Busy Bees Picket Twenty is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.699
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Picket Twenty is based on 12 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.833
  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.
