Busy Bees Bishops Stortford has six base rooms that are tailored to different early years learning objectives, overseen by a professional team. There are beautiful gardens and a secure entry system is in place, while the nursery performs highly on food hygiene.

A key person system is in place as the provider has for years seen the benefit of focusing on the individual, allowing them to pick up new skills and interests at their own pace and offering regular feedback for parents.

Learning Journals are compiled to show how children are meeting the objectives of the Early Years Foundation Stage and a long-standing and friendly staff team is a real benefit.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Busy Bees in Bishop Stortford has been fantastic for my little girl. She started just over a year ago and has settled amazingly, all room changes have been managed so well that she has barely noticed. Absolutely loves going for her 3 days a week.


The staff are amazing with the children, lots of effort

made, get them outside as often as possible. My daughter's development has been great, her language and motor skills have really come on since she has been there and a lot of the credit should go to the staff who have helped in this.


The managers/admin team are amazingly helpful, always happy to have a chat answer queries and help with issues - take a lot of the stress away by being so flexible, approachable and friendly.


The food provided is brilliant - lots of variety and different tastes for the children to experience.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Busy Bees Bishops Stortford 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.910 for Busy Bees Bishops Stortford is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.91

  • 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 Busy Bees Bishops Stortford is based on 25 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 25 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.
