My son loves nursery. The carers are really attentive and seem to really care for the children. He does a lot of different activities daily and just really enjoys each day.

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees Leytonstone for 18 months and is very happy. The staff are excellent - kind, friendly and attentive - and the activities seem well planned and varied. The building is clean and bright and the external area is spacious and the kids spend a lot of time outdoors. We're
very happy with our experience and plan on keeping our daughter there until she starts school. It is one of the more expensive nurseries in the area, but we feel it is worth the extra expense due to the quality of experience, long opening hours and lack of fixed holidays (which suits our variable working patterns).

We have always had a great experience with Busy Bees Leytonstone. All the staff are friendly and my daughter really enjoys herself there.
The menu always sounds very tasty and we are always updated about new menus coming in.
The building is clean and displays/activities constantly change to keep the
children engaged.
The opening hours are far more accommodating for working parents than any other nursery in the local area.

Busy Bees has been a supportive, welcoming and fun nursery for both our children. We love the space, particularly the large and well designed outside play areas. The team have been loving to our children, going above and beyond to help them feel happy every day. The management have also been really
supportive, going the extra mile to help work around our busy schedules and accommodate our childcare needs. I have and will continue to recommend this nursery and wish to say a huge thanks to all the staff.

This is a large extremely professionally run nursery. There are many long-standing members of staff which says a lot about management etc. Bright spacious rooms and a wonderful outside space for the children to truly stretch their legs. The carers are very experienced and our daughter has been extremely
happy in her two years ar Busy Bees. Cannot fault the management team either very well organised.

We love Busy Bees at Leytonstone. The staff have been so caring and nurturing for my daughter since she started as a baby, getting to know her individual characteristics and talking to me about her so fondly when I pick her up. The rooms all have such strong teams of staff and great facilities. I think
the outdoor area is excellent. The staff are always available to talk to me and listen to any concerns. We are starting our son here this Autumn and have no worries that he will be settled in happily here.

Until recently two of my children have attended Busy Bees at Leytonstone. It has a wonderful location and likewise, staff who are friendly and caring towards both my children and parents. I know I could drop off my children at this nursery, sometimes from 7am-6pm without worry. The early opening and
late closing certainly help out working families also.

The Leytonstone Busy Bees team are a wonderful cohort of caring people. Many of the childcarers have been there for years and there is a great mix of experience as well as young enthusiasm. Cook and her team are a bonus, with freshly cooked meals and varying menus. Even birthday cakes to order! The
purpose built premises with lots of outdoor space and stable, committed management (plus amazing opening hours) make Busy Bees Leytonstone the best nursery I have used for any of my four children.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.142)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.142) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leytonstone 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for Busy Bees Leytonstone is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.225 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Leytonstone is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.1

  • 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.
