I myself am a teacher and trained as an Early Years Specialist. I was nervous when first looking for a nursery for my little one, but as soon as I walked into Bumble Bees I felt at ease! We could not be happier with the nursery in terms of facilities, staff and communication. It is a wonderful community
and our little girl loves going there. They arrange so many lovely initiatives- celebrating many holidays and even putting on a Christmas performance for the baby room. The staff have been there for years and are just lovely people. Has a wonderful manager- she knows all of the children and families so well. We honestly could not be happier- we are so lucky to have them look after our little girl!

Cannot say enough good things about Bumble Bees. My daughter is happy going in in the morning and happy coming out at the end of the day. Always has a smile on her face when she sees the staff. She has continued to learn and grow new skills each day. Amazing attentive caregivers, fab food menu and great
facilities.

We could not have asked for a better nursery for our daughter. She absolutely loves it here, talks about the carers and her friends all the time and is genuinely excited to go in the morning. She started as a baby and we have watched her develop and become a happy and independent preschooler because
of the care and attention she gets from the staff.

My 3-year-old son started at Bumble Bees Nursery in September 2024. A few months before that, we tried to send him to another private nursery, but due to his extreme attachment to his mother, it was unsuccessful and we had to withdraw him. We made the managers at Bumble Bees aware of that and they have
handled it perfectly. They were patient and assured us he would get there. Has been a few months now and we can see he is completely a different toddler already. His social skills have improved significantly and he genuinely loves to go to the nursery. We noticed that the staff is extremely kind, my son loves every one of them and talks to us all day about whom he interacts with. They also engage in a variety of activities and are very inclusive, celebrating different events with parties and celebrations! If you looking for a truly caring nursery, with friendly and understanding management and kind and professional staff, look no further!

We are over the moon to have found this nursery for our daughter. She started when she was 6 months old and is now almost 2. She is thriving here and loves going in every morning. The staff are wonderful and so kind and caring.

We have taken our daughter after 2 days at Bumble Bees due to some concerns. Ofsted then found that the nursery was not meeting some of the safeguarding requirements. This can be seen on Ofsted website.

Surprised there is no reviews for this nursery. My 1-year-old started this nursery two months ago and she already loves it.
It is complicated to see a lot at this age but anyway I see my daughter is much more comfortable with children already, she improves skills which related to nursery like eating
with a spoon on her own. I have updates from nursery staff at the end of day and lovely reports in the app. They are always happy to give advice.
The nursery has a home feeling and a cosy atmosphere. They have quite a good garden.
And I see how happy children and parents of older age - they absolutely love it.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.816) out of 10 for Bumble Bees Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.732 for Bumble Bees Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 4.084 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bumble Bees Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.484

  • 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.
