You are always greeted with a smile at Busy Bugs and the staff have been very supportive of my autistic daughter for over a year now.
They offer parents options that suit their needs. This is a place my daughter is happy to go and feel safe. Thank you Busy bugs Staff

Review from G M (Godmother of Child) published on 13 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My godchild attended the setting, I used to collect for my friend as my friend was at work 12-hour shifts so I helped her out with pick-ups. The nursery is very flexible with the days and time they give which my friend was grateful, with being a single parent and work changing her hours all the time.
The staff always told me what my godchild had been doing throughout the day and what they had for dinner and snack tea. She was always happy and engaged in the activities they had, whether they were in or outside when I collected.
Management is always happy and friendly too, I like to chat and so do they, I feel like I was part of the Busybugs Day Nursery family I felt that welcome.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone. I would bring my own here when I decide to have children.

A very good nursery, staff are attentive and friendly, kind and caring towards the children and overall, do their jobs amazingly. They act accordingly to certain circumstances and take their jobs seriously, also provide a clean and safe environment for the kids and know how to keep the children engaged
in learning and improving on their skills at the same time. A very good nursery and would be the first to recommend, an excellent and enjoyable place for kids!

My little boy has come on so much since being at Busybugs Day Nursery.
He wouldn't let anyone hug or touch him before going to the nursery.
He runs into nursery so happy, he loves his teacher and is always giggling away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've only been to Busybugs Day Nursery a few times but the times I have been there I can say that I am very happy with what I've seen. The staff there are amazing and they have helped my son's development immensely. I could clearly see that he is thriving and ever since he began at Busybugs, his speech
and understanding have visibly improved.
I would highly recommend Busybugs to someone wanting to send their child to a good nursery.

My daughter has settled down in this nursery very well and all staff are absolutely amazing, my daughter used to go to another nursery before which went into administration so before I could search for a new nursery I was offered a place straight away by the owner of the nursery, literally didn't have
to worry about anything. The finance manager did comfort me with the private price as well and there you go, September 2025 my daughter goes to school leaving this lovely nursery which is sad. But lovely nursery.

One member of staff, in particular, has been amazing with my little boy, she's helped him grow and become more confident, she's helped him with his speech, she's a lovely addition to the nursery as are all the other staff! I also have an autistic son who attends the nursery and he's doing amazing. They
are very understanding with him and they have brought him out of his shell and he's getting better every day. All the staff have been amazing with my boys and they have come along massively. Thank you so much for everything you do!

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, the teachers are amazing, specifically two members of staff. My daughter absolutely adores these two teachers and they adore her too, I couldn't ask for a better nursery or better teachers to trust with my daughter. Overall, all the staff are amazing and
are always available if they are needed.

Busybugs Day Nursery is fantastic, really good communication and very welcoming, I have noticed a massive difference with my child. I'm really impressed how fast they managed to help my 2-year-old potty train. It only took him a couple of weeks, my child really loves going nursery. One member of staff,
in particular, is really good with him. She works really well with him and always lets me know how he has been during the day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Busybugs Day Nursery 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.954 for Busybugs Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.954
  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 Busybugs Day Nursery is based on 26 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 26 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.
