I've been very happy with the nursery. My son has been attending one day per week for the last 18 months. He settled in well and always enjoys his day there. The staff are always warm and welcoming and he talks about them fondly at home. They do lots of fun learning and activities and have a good outdoor
garden space.
My younger daughter is about to start and I would recommend to others.

My little boy absolutely loves coming to Burstead Bears. He has built strong relationships with his key workers and always comes out with a huge smile on his face. He loves doing all the arts and crafts especially at special times of the year i.e Christmas and Easter I cannot fault the nursery at all
and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to give their child the best start before school.

Our first son attended Burstead Bears from 2010 to 2012 and we loved it so much our second son now attends. Our experience both times is amazing and the girls are so lovely and caring, they provide a home from home making our boys so comfortable. They also teach them so much through play and our first
son was top of his class when he started school! We couldn't praise or recommend the nursery enough.

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.
