Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From crying while leaving me, to now grabbing his bag and coat in the morning, my 1-year-old absolutely loves the nursery. I am delighted with his progress, which can only come when the staff are loving and caring. My baby is learning to be disciplined, learning to be social and making wonderful artwork,
all thanks to the nursery.

Both my children have attended this nursery since the baby room. They are both very happy there and have lots of friends. The staff are all really friendly and both my children have had good relationships with their key workers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been coming here since September, he only goes one day a week but the difference I have noticed in him is amazing. He loves his days at nursery and has really bonded with his key worker which makes leaving him there so much easier. The staff are brilliant and given the current situation
at the moment with Covid-19, they haven’t faulted with anything which is a testament to the nursery and shows the passion that the staff have for the children.

My little boy has attended since the first lockdown, the nursery manager has been so kind and helpful with the transition. All the girls are so kind and helpful. Lovely nursery and environment. My little boy is so happy there and wants to go to nursery, which makes me happy as I know how well cared
for he is there. Thank you everyone at Busy Bees at Arrowe Park for everything you do and have done. One hundred and ten percent recommended this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending this nursery since it opened. He is very happy there and has made a lot of friends. We feel very confident leaving our son in their capable hands. It is a very safe nursery and they have a good educational programme through play which is what initially drew us to this nursery.
The staff are amazing and very friendly.

I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and child focussed. They are all really passionate about ensuring my son has the best experience.


The nursery provides excellent nutritional meals and provides a great variety which has helped my little boy.


As a parent,

I am always kept updated about the daily activities and also development, again the key early framework. The introduction of Tapestry has been well received by myself and my husband.


I am so pleased we chose this nursery for our little boy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Busy Bees Arrowe Park 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 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 4.951 for Busy Bees Arrowe Park is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951
  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 4.81 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Arrowe Park is based on 17 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 105 number of registered child places is 21. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.81
  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.
