The nursery is outstanding and so are the staff.
The care they provide is excellent and I will continue to recommend this nursery long after my children have left.

The ladies at Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay have been absolutely amazing! My son has made so much progress and we have loved watching everything he does with our daily updates. We really appreciate their help with making him become the best big brother (soon to be).
Couldn't have asked for
a better nursery for my son to be part of!

After having to return to work earlier than wanted, I feel so at ease leaving my son at Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay. My eldest attended since she was 8 months old and now my second comes here. It really is a home from home for us.

Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay is the most caring and welcoming place we've ever been to. On our first day of visiting, our son felt so comfortable he go straight down and all of the girls were so lovely to him. We were so worried about our son's care due to his epilepsy but I have not ever had
to worry since he's been here! Best nursery, by far, they are so thorough with everything and so accommodating! We are very lucky to have found Burstead Bears.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 5.000 for Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay is calculated as follows: ( (336 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 5

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burstead Bears Day Nursery Billericay is based on 28 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 37 number of registered child places is 7.4, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 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.
