Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely staff, amazing food variety, good activities. The app is a bit hit and miss but that's a minor point. Everything in the nursery itself is great. Management always quick to respond to queries too.

Exceptional nursery! The staff’s caring nature creates a warm and nurturing environment perfect for little ones. They engage children in fun activities amazing for entertainment but also for development. I really loved how they helped my little one to adapt and how smooth it was. Highly recommended!

Our daughter started Busy Bees, Lichfield in March 2023. She loves the baby rooms and the staff are superb. They are all friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable and our daughter loves them all. The activities are imaginative, creative and different every day. Thank you so much for helping our daughter
to flourish.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am absolutely in love with this nursery and will be so sad when my youngest leaves. I have four children who have all been in various settings around Lichfield. Busy Bees has been by far the best. The building is new and purpose-built, it’s been kitted out beautifully, and most importantly, the staff
are all so kind and helpful.
The manager is so approachable, and I can’t fault the communication.
My kids love it here, and I’m so happy with it.

All the staff are very lovely and helpful and they always greet you with a big smile. My son really enjoys the time he is there. They take good care for his dietary needs. He has settled really well and the nursery is making him ready for primary school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend Busy Bees, Lichfield. Right from arranging the look around, the whole team has been so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere within the nursery makes you feel comfortable and confident that my daughter will be cared for to the highest level. My daughter also has multiple food allergies
and the diligence that they have shown to protect her has been outstanding. I know she is in safe hands. I also love that the nursery has so many different areas for the children to explore and release their imagination.
Thank you to the centre director, assistant centre director, the chef and 2 other staff members in particular who have all helped and welcomed my daughter and I to Busy Bees.

Absolutely amazing staff, brilliant towards my boys, it’s a brand new pretty nursery, clean, open spaces, communication between staff, children and parents is impeccable I can’t fault anything, my children love it and so do I. I feel like my children are safe and being cared and looked after properly
and don’t have to worry I can call at any time and I know that if they need me they will ring me also.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Busy Bees Lichfield 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 Lichfield is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Lichfield is based on 22 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 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 110 number of registered child places is 22, which has been reached with 22 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.
