Our little one has been attending the Busy Bee since 11 months old and he is 22 months now. Thank you to all brilliant staff for all the hard work you do. Thank for keeping our little one entertained, and supporting his development, in the Busy Bee our son does educational activities and has a lot of
fun playing and having an social interaction with his friends. It is so important for working parents to be able to leave their children with people they trust. Thank you for creating an environment for our son where he is happy and likes getting back.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff here are fantastic - committed, caring and really listen to the children, creating a real home from home. Th food is varied and excellent and the new curriculum is brilliant - The girls loved the famous artist work.
The only downsides are that the fees feel a little expensive with very little
flexibility and some corporate rules can limit the individuality the amazing team bring. Overall though, our children have thrived here & we highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old so she's been in all 3 rooms. The girls who run the rooms are so caring to each child's needs and created a beautiful bond with my daughter. She enjoys nursery and talks about her carers there fondly which obviously gives me peace of mind
when I have to drop her off for work. Nursery has allowed my daughter to grow and they have helped her adjust to new changes with patience.

My daughters been attending this nursery for little over a year now she started in the toddler room and is now due to leave the pre-schoolers room and has loved being at this nursery. The staff are all fantastic, well trained and show alot of care for the children. You are kept well informed of what
they get up to day to day and staff are always available and open for a chat at drop offs or pick ups if you have any questions or concerns, the manager is brilliant aswell and always has the time to speak to you if need be she also helped me with arranging my funding days the best way in which to save money which was a big help as i wasnt sure on how funded hours work. The building is very safe and well equipped with a lovely outdoor space that my daughter loves to play in, i couldnt rate this nursery high enough and ill be sad for my daughter to leave she has thrived and learnt so much here.

My daughter started at Busy Bees in January 2025. I cannot express how much we've loved her transition to nursery! The staff are excellent, my daughter loves them all. She was only 15 months when she started, so it was all so new to her. She's settled great and that's all down to how brilliant the nursery
is. So thank you Busy Bees bambino room!

Our daughter has attended Busy Bees South Wigston since August 2024. In that short time, we have seen her confidence grow and learn so much. She loves going to nursery and gets so excited when she sees the door. All of the baby room staff are very friendly and know each child and their characters so
well. I am so pleased we chose this nursery as I know when I am at work, she is safe, well cared for and loves being there.

Since my son has started Busy Bees, his speech has come along massively. He is always happy when he goes in the mornings and is always greeted by the staff.
I couldn't recommend this place enough, such a happy, clean environment for all the kids.
The meals are also amazing, as my son is now eating
foods he wouldn't normally eat.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leicester South Wigston 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.830 for Busy Bees Leicester South Wigston is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.83
  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 Leicester South Wigston is based on 23 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 23 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.
