My son is now in the bigger baby room and his transition was as smooth as when he first started. He remains happy and settled and that's the most important thing for us. He absolutely loves going to nursery!

I would highly recommend my sons nursery. Great staff and great environment, it's difficult to get him to leave at the end of the day! Their summer fun day is also fantastic, I'm not sure who had more fun him or me!

Our son has been at the nursery for the past 11 months (since 8 months old) and his and our experiences so far have been fantastic. The staff at Positive Steps are passionate about what they do and this is clearly reflected in how our son and also his fellow classmates thoroughly enjoy their day at
nursery. So much so that there days that he doesn't want to leave. We have a well rounded, sociable, gregarious and fun loving child, primarily because of the way that he has treated at nursery. The staff are great characters, wonderfully engaging and dedicated, they are great to be in the company of and make us feel very at ease. As parents we have felt very comfortable raising any concerns that we may have with the confidence (both at management and carer level) that we know that we have been listened to and that mutually agreed plans are acted upon. I cannot recommend our nursery more highly.

Our son is always really happy to come to nursery and goes into the baby room with a smile. The staff have always been brilliant with him at drop off and pick up, making the transition between mummy and nursery smooth and stress free. During the day he eats and sleeps well and has made some fabulous
friends already. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My child loves coming to nursery. He has settled quickly with the help of the staff. There are a lot of different activities and we always get reports on what he has enjoyed playing with which gives ideas for home. He loves jo jingles! We are reassured that he is eating well and is well cared for when
he's home. We could not be happier.

Both my children have attended this nursery from when I returned to work after mat leave. Both were a year old, I have been at the nursery 3 days a week until they started/start school. Returning to work is a BIG deal for any mother- to leave their most precious gift in the care of someone else, but
from show round to settle sessions was confident my children would have fun and learn in a safe and secure surroundings (among qualified professionals who care).

Positive Steps Children's Day Nursery is really a fantastic nursery that helps our daughter learn a lot and provides a warm positive environment. The staff is friendly and supportive of the individual child needs but the rooms are quiet small and there is no direct access to the outside space.

Both of our children attend nursery (across 1-3) They both are looked after by extremely caring and friendly people and come home having had an extremely engaging and fun day. Both try new things every week and it is easy to see how much they have developed in their time at the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.268)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.268) out of 10 for Busy Bees Maidenhead Norden Road 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.968 for Busy Bees Maidenhead Norden Road is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Maidenhead Norden Road is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.5

  • 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.
