My little girl loves coming to nursery each day and has a good relationship with her teachers. The staff are amazing and work really hard with my little girl regularly. She comes home and tells me how much fun she has had with her friends. Her self-confidence and independence has come on leaps and bounds
since being in preschool. The preschool staff have done really well supporting my little girl with her toilet training. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

As a first time mum, sending my daughter to nursery was a daunting experience, but after witnessing her not wanting to leave after her second settling in session I knew I had made the right decision. She smiles as we walk up the path when I take her in and goes straight over to the girls in her room,
she's not walking yet but when she is I'm sure she'll be running in. They are fabulous at updating the app so you can see everything that they've got up to in the day, what they've eaten and most importantly napped! I couldn't fault any of the staff members at our site and I recommend them to anyone who has a baby!

Busy Bees Moreton has been incredible to both our children and I feel incredibly lucky they have attended such a wonderful nursery setting. As a parent, it is such a comforting feeling knowing that each day that you're not there, your children are in safe and loving hands. It's a pleasure to watch both
children go in each day with a smile and excitement or wanting a cuddle from one of the staff, and at pick up that same smile is still there and excitement to tell us about the lovely day they've had and all the activities they have completed.
Our son is a very picky eater but that's not a problem at all, whether he eats the menu of the day or the chef makes him his own personal dish, he's always well fed and the staff encourage him to try new things which he does! Our daughter absolutely loves the food and often has seconds.
It won't be just the children that miss the nursery and all the staff, I know I will too. Thank you for everything you have done for us as a family!

Busy Bees Moreton have been the nursery that both of my children have attended. I have always felt confident leaving my children in their care. The staff have always helped bring my children on in their milestones and I would recommend the Moreton branch to anyone looking for a safe space for your little
ones to grow.

My child has been attending Busy Bees Moreton since June 2023. She absolutely adores all the staff and won't even bother to wave goodbye to me when she goes as she's too excited to be there.
Good daily updates on the app and in person hand overs.
Hits her development milestones and has progressed
well.
Supportive with any changes needing to be made to her care.

Our son started at Busy Bees, Moreton Nursery in January and he has developed hugely in his time there. Every day he is welcomed with smiles from the staff and has developed fantastic relationships with his key workers and the staff have been amazing as he always goes in with open arms.
We love the
updates on the app which really demonstrates the care and love they have for him which makes us feel so happy that he’s in a fun and safe nursery environment. The staff genuinely care and you see that every day. Since day one they have been inclusive to us as same-sex parents which has been so refreshing. The 2 cards for us on Mother’s Day really did make us smile. They’ve also offered to help me with getting my son to and from the car due to my impairment which was lovely.
Highly recommend this nursery if you want your child to develop, feel safe and more importantly feel loved and genuinely cared for. Thank you Busy Bees, Moreton

My little one settled in so well, and the girls who work in the setting are so kind and loving, Management were great from the start of the process of enrolling little one was so easy and smooth, and nothing was too much for them. Key worker has a great bond with my little one and this massively helps
me when leaving in the morning I have smiles and waves. I know they are safe and having a lot of fun while there, The app is great, this is kept up to date during the day and I love this as I get to see what is going on during the day. The staff are great at communicating with me and my partner. Great nursery, great staff!

An amazing nursery, full of amazing staff. My child started with Busy Bees after having a negative experience with another nursery and the change in him now is so lovely to see. The staff at Busy Bees have nurtured my son into being the best possible version of himself and for that I will forever be
grateful to them. Since starting with the nursery my son has been exposed to a vast array of different activities and fun learning and he has come on leaps and bounds. Prior to being with Busy Bees, he was always a very picky eater, but through the encouragement from the staff, he will eat all of the meals he is offered. Thank you!

Busy Bees in Moreton is fantastic. My little boy adores all the staff and has the best time. He started when he was 10 months in the baby room and is now 2 1/2 getting ready to be in pre school with them. They are amazing in every single room and really approachable, caring staff and welcoming always.
I love this nursery.

Great nursery. Helped my son settle in the nursery very well. Extra settling sessions were not a problem and they did everything they could to help. He is so happy there. His key worker is great and all the girls in the room are so lovely. I know he is happy and having fun when he is there, which makes
leaving him a lot easier. Great communication from the nursery throughout the day, with the app.

I have had both of my children attend this nursery and my baby will be starting very soon. The staff are all amazing and have been so caring towards my family. Nothing is too much trouble and they have all shown us such great support. The manager is always approachable and nothing is ever too much trouble.
The themed days are so exciting for the children and they are full of beans when they come home.

are amazing for her development. I trust this nursery so much and it's so nice knowing they treat my daughter like their own.

What an amazing nursery! Both my daughter shave been through this nursery from ages 1-4 and stayed for the pre-school. The place has a very welcoming and has a homely feel with a buzz of activities when you go there. The staff are simply fantastic and have made special bonds with both my children. They
got to know my children as individuals, their likes and interests and ensured every day was full of fun and learning. My youngest is due to leave at the end of the summer, and we will truly miss the place. They have given us, as parents, so much support with various stages of development, and we have always felt so supported. The communication has always great, and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking! Thank you all for the amazing care you have given my girls.

My grandson has been with the nursery since he was a baby. I have seen him grow into such an independent, confident little boy who talks about his favourite friends and teachers. I love it when he brings a painting home for me and now my fridge is covered. He is so happy and it’s lovely to see him running
in. The manager is always available to speak to and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are polite, professional and dedicated to the children.

Our little boy has been going to the nursery since he was ten months old and he is now two! We looked around a couple of other nurseries but didn't get the right feeling there. We also loved the security, with the camera at the front door and also that when we went to look around we had to hand in our
mobile phones! He has always loved going to nursery and now often toddles in and never looks back. We love seeing all of the activities that he has done in the day, especially the pictures that are now shared on the parent zone app! Some of the meals that he eats there sound amazing and we know he is getting a very varied diet. As working parents, we feel safe in the knowledge that our little boy is being well looked after and in safe hands! He has formed lovely bonds with some of the staff and will often cuddle them which is very cute and great to know he feels so secure. Thank you Busy Bees at Moreton. We have another little one on the way and he or she will also be attending when their time comes.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.478)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.478) out of 10 for Busy Bees Moreton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.954 for Busy Bees Moreton is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.954

  • b) 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 4.524 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Moreton is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.524

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
