  • Busy Bees Stokenchurch, High Wycombe
The nursery in Stokenchurch opened in December 2004 and is situated locally in Stokenchurch near High Wycombe. Stokenchurch has a lovely village environment and is close to good commuter links. The nursery accommodates the differing needs of children from 6 weeks to 5 years.

The nursery has specifically designed rooms to encourage child development and meet the needs of the individual age groups, as well as providing a large outdoor play area for the children to explore and learn. Children are cared for within the nursery by friendly and dedicated staff.

The nursery has a large outdoor area and a separate baby garden designed to inspire a child's imagination. Pirate boats, climbing apparatus, trikes and ride on toys, along with a good selection of specialist outdoor play equipment, all incorporating a variety of materials and safety surfacing, allowing children to play in a challenging, safe and stimulating environment.

A minibeast and digging area, along with purpose-built raised beds, allow opportunities for children to grow their own fresh vegetables and herbs evoking a natural curiosity in the world around them. A variety of trees and plants surround the garden, allowing children to observe the changing of seasons.

The nursery serves the village by encouraging social interaction with others in the community, with regular visits to the library and maintains strong links with the village school.

The nursery is a bright and modern building providing a warm welcoming atmosphere and is open from 7.30am - 6.15pm Monday-Friday. The building has state of the art CCTV system covering all rooms and the outdoor area, together with a secure door entry system.

Since joining Busy Bees, Stokenchurch our son has come on leaps and bounds. His development over the last 15 months has been remarkable and a key factor of that has had to do with his nursery. The whole team have been excellent in getting to know and understand our little one. Their caring, friendly,
welcoming and professional approach to his care and education has been more than we could have wished for and they clearly know our little man very well. It’s also been great to see investment into the nursery during our time here and with the planned future investments, the nursery will only go from strength to strength, creating greater opportunities for the children. We would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a solid foundation from which their child’s education and personal development can build upon.

We love Busy Bees, Stokenchurch and our daughter goes every day happy to nursery, which is the best sign we could have. She enjoys the activities, her friends and the staff, who make learning fun and ensure the specific needs of children are worked and developed. Staff is amazing, caring and communicative.
Am always amazed by the diversity of food given to the children, great chef! Thank you for taking such good care of our daughter!

Have a child in toddler and preschool areas. Both have made friends and great connections to the staff. It is clear to see the developments they are making. Both come home singing songs every day. Thank you for everything.

My son absolutely loves the carers and environment at Busy Bees, Stokenchurch. The communication is great and the team are really supportive during challenging times, working with the parents to achieve a positive outcome. They were great at supporting us through toilet training (something which lots
of nurseries do not help with).
Big shout out to the senior room manager who is like an auntie to our boy - he loves her so much and her approach is fun and nurturing, but also assertive with strict boundaries. He will miss his Busy Bees family after the summer.

We have used Busy Bees at Stokenchurch from the baby room to the preschool room and have always felt the children were well looked after and received personalised care. The nursery staff are kind and communicative, very flexible and accommodating. The children had a lovely time at Busy Bees at Stokenchurch
and we were sad to leave when we moved away from the area. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

They made the whole process easy and were very reassuring. Really appreciate their honesty on pickups and find our son settled in well due to their dedication to each child and knowing what they like and don't like very quickly. Always available for talks and advice and during this difficult time, have
been a bit of wonderful normality for our son.

My son has been with Busy Bees since he was 8 months. The setting has been extremely helpful and helped him settle so quickly. He continues to learn so much every day. The staff are very friendly and understanding. The education and learning are amazing, especially the app that provides so many ideas
for teaching and learning at home. He loves being at nursery and is always eager to go in.

The key person is just fantastic. She has given us so much reassurance when he has found it difficult to settle at times. Thank you.

My daughter really enjoys her days at this nursery and happily goes in in the mornings. They did a great job of getting her settled back in after the 5 month lockdown closure period and she is attached to the staff members that she interacts with. They provide a good range of activities both indoors
and outdoors, as well as healthy food and a calm napping environment. This is my second child to attend this nursery and I would definitely recommend it to any prospective parents.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.656) out of 10 for Busy Bees Stokenchurch 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.936 for Busy Bees Stokenchurch is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 3.72 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Stokenchurch is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.345

  • 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.
