Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it. As first-time parents, it was a whole new experience for us too, but some of the staff members were amazing right from the start. They kept us informed and reassured every step of the way - one of them is still always
just a phone call away.
Nearly a year on, our little girl has come on leaps and bounds. She adores her key worker, Ala, and it honestly melts my heart to sneak in at pick-up time and see the bond they've built. We're so grateful for the love and care she gets every day.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery - Montessori by Busy Bees at High Wycombe has been exceptional. The staff are truly wonderful and go above and beyond to ensure our child feels happy, safe, and engaged. Every day is filled with fun and educational activities, and we receive regular
updates via photos and notes, including details about meals and routines. The communication is excellent; staff are always approachable, happy to answer questions, and provide a thoughtful summary of the day at pick-up. We're so grateful for the care they provide and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Our son has been attending since he was 12 months old, and now at 20 months, he absolutely loves it. The staff are so warm and caring, and they always take the time to listen to us and support our family.
We receive daily updates on his meals, naps, and nappies, which gives us peace of mind. It's clear
he feels safe and happy there - he goes in smiling every morning!
Thank you to the amazing team for all the love and care you give him. We couldn't ask for more :)

We are so happy we chose this nursery for our little boy! I was so anxious about him starting nursery but he's settled so quickly and that's all down to the wonderful staff. Not only that, the nursery is beautifully decorated and clean and fresh, and I love the updates on the daily activities, whether
that be one on one with his key person or as a group with the other children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at the nursery when he was 10 months old, and he's been there for 9 months now. We've had such a great experience and he settled in very well! I've seen so much growth in him. His skills have really developed, and his speech has come on so well. He loves spending time outside and always
enjoys the activities they do. The staff are so friendly and caring, and you can tell they really love what they do. My son eats well there and even asks for seconds sometimes, which is great to see. Overall, we're really happy and most importantly, my son is happy too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl absolutely loves this nursery. I was so nervous to leave her when I went back to work at 9 months, but the staff are just incredible. We are always greeted with a smile, and they really take the time to know the personality of your child. My daughter is now 15 months and I am so confident
she will receive cuddles if she is sad, and have fun and learn new things, which is all a parent wants when leaving young children. We are given regular updates throughout the day on what she eaten, nappies, when she has slept so I never feel out of the loop. She has progressed so well, and we can't thank the staff enough for providing such a warm and nurturing environment.

Review from K R (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends Busy Bees and the care he has received here is brilliant. The staff always greet him on arrival and he happily goes to nursery.
We have noticed as his parents his character coming out more and more and how they are developing his skills socially and from a learning perspective- he is
always showing us new things he has learnt. He always was a social child and independent but we see this more now than ever.
An additional note is the staff; I cannot fault any of them, I can call anytime and they provided great support to me leaving him there as a first time mum as I found it particularly stressful. Now I know he loves going and enjoys it and I know he is in safe hands.
Would recommend this nursery in a heart beat to parents.

Both my children attend the nursery and they have settled in so well, I'm so happy with the progress they have made. Every morning they are so excited to go into nursery. The staff are always quick to inform me if something is not right. The staff are brilliant they are always making sure the nursery
is super clean and well set up for when the children attend. I'm so pleased with everything and I couldn't think of sending my boys anywhere else.

My daughter has been made to feel so welcome at this nursery. I am kept up to date with what she has eaten and all the activities in her day. I dont have any doubts that the people looking after my child have her best interests at heart. The building is also lovely and child-friendly, with an amazing
garden.

Review from Tamara B (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been at this nursery for just one month, and the difference from his previous nursery is astonishing. However, this nursery has been a revelation. From the moment he started, I noticed an immediate change. I often sneak a peek before he knows I'm there, and every time, he's playing with other
kids, chatting away, and genuinely enjoying the environment. It's such a joy to see him so happy and engaged. One of the biggest changes is his eating habits. He never ate anything at his old nursery, but here, he eats well and enjoys his meals. This has been a huge relief. The staff at this nursery are truly exceptional. They are kind, caring, and you can see that they genuinely care about my son. It's so reassuring to leave him in such a nurturing environment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found this nursery. It provides a safe space for my son to flourish, and it allows me to work without guilt. Thank you to everyone at the nursery for making such a positive impact on our lives.

Myself and my little boy absolutely love this nursery. I’ve seen such a change in him in a short time since he’s been going there. The staff are kind and attentive, flexible to your needs and always so willing and eager to support in any way they can. The nursery setting itself is beautiful with a great
outdoor space.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.842) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees at High Wycombe 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.960 for Montessori by Busy Bees at High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.96
  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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees at High Wycombe is based on 15 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 85 number of registered child places is 17. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.882
  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.
