Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was a little apprehensive about my little one starting nursery as she is my first. My husband and I went to view the nursery and I just felt at ease with how the Manager spoke about the nursery, the resources and how the nursery settles the children. Her key workers have both been amazing with my
little one and the care that she gets from the nursery. There are regular phone calls to update me on her well-being.


Thank you Busy Little Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely pleased with the team at Busy Little Bees. I had such a bad experience with my daughter's last nursery and the team have been amazing. I can't express how happy I am. My daughter has come on leaps and I feel the nursery has played a big part in that

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.408)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.408) out of 10 for Busy Little Bees Nursery - Handsworth Wood 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.708 for Busy Little Bees Nursery - Handsworth Wood is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.708
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Little Bees Nursery - Handsworth Wood is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 9 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2020

Hello, My name is Hafsa Zaman and I am delighted to be responsible for Busy Little Bee's new site in Handsworth Wood. I joined Busy Little Bees in 2020, having worked in the Early Years sector for 9 years and in a management role for 5 years in various settings.


I have years of invaluable experience working with children with Special Educational Needs and therefore recognise the importance of ensuring all children are given equal opportunities in order for them to grow and develop which is at the centre of my vision. Being very family-oriented, I understand the importance of forming close partnerships with parents/carers in order to support children to reach their full potential. I am extremely passionate about Early Years and being able to play an important role in shaping our future leaders. I pride myself on working as part of a highly skilled team to create a nurturing environment for the children to thrive.


We offer each child a unique and individual learning journey through purposeful play and the creation of thoughtful environments. My aim is to inspire children to be inquisitive and creative by offering a wide range of experiences to give them the best start in life.
I look forward to welcoming you all to our beautiful new setting in Handsworth Wood. Please do not hesitate to get in touch!
