My child has been attending this nursery for the past three years and the care and support they provide is brilliant. I would have no hesitations with recommending them to friends or family. I recommend a visit to the nursery as you can see what they have to offer and what feels right for your child.

My older daughter (now 5) has spent 3.5 years in this nursery. She was really happy there and had established a close relationship with staff members of the nursery. She has built great confidence and progressed well, and was admitted to a really good independent school last year. The nursery manager
and her staff, whom I get to know, are all helpful and caring and have done a fantastic job to create a lovely environment for the children. My younger daughter (now 16 months old) has joined the nursery last year and has been very well looked after. I would highly recommend this nursery.

A big THANK YOU to the Manager and her pre-school team for looking after my 3 year old daughter just like a family would! If it wasn't for us moving home, she would be coming to you until the start of her reception. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.583)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.583) out of 10 for Busy Bees Harrow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.879 for Busy Bees Harrow is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 4.704 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Harrow 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:

    • 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 = 3.9

    • 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.804

  • 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.
