My son has attended this nursery for the last two years and he has loved it completely. All the staff are kind and friendly and I trust them looking after my child entirely. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my twins to attend. The overall experience has been amazing and the girls always go above and beyond for them. They started in toddler room last April and built relationships with the staff straight away and the same has happened moving into the preschool
room.

My child has been attending the nursery since 2021 and I am so pleased I chose this nursery. It's nice and big so each age group is cared for properly and separately but they do mix the children on occasion which I like. I get detailed feedback on my child's day from her carers and the staff there seem
to genuinely care for her. This is the most important thing to me as she is there a large portion of the time so I want to feel that she is safe and protected just as she is with me. I can see how much she loves the staff and I couldn't recommend them enough.

Lovely staff in the baby room and they look after the kids so nicely but sometimes need clarity on curriculum or what activities they're up to in the week. My kid has loved being there for the last few months and settled in very quickly! He's very happy and content there as advised by the staff. Management
could be more consistent with their updates and follow up on things sooner than later.

The team have been amazing at looking after my son since he was 11 months old. His care has been excellent and consistent and staff go above and beyond for him. Given his medical condition, the staff have managed his health and work collaboratively with me and my partner. I'm so proud to have been a
partner with staff at Busy Bees to take care of my son. His development over the last few months has improved and I owe a part of that to Busy Bees. Thank you, fabulous team.

My daughter has developed really well in preschool and loves going to see her friends and teachers, especially one in particular. She always comes home and tells me what she has done that day at preschool.

We have sent our two boys to Busy Bees, Brompton and they have thrived socially and emotionally. Both have enjoyed their time in the various rooms and we are continually impressed by the enthusiasm and energy of the staff. Happy to recommend Busy Bees, Brompton to prospective parents.

Very nice staff. Very helpful with any matters that have been bought up to them. Give good feedback on the day my child has had. Could not complain on anything from the nursery. My daughter did not like being dropped off but the staff made her feel very welcome. Now she wants to come every day. However,
time waiting to be let into the building can be an issue sometimes. New bells have been installed but still takes a while to answer. The classroom is a good standard.

My children always speak of having great days at nursery and always seem happy on collection.
The app is a great way to interact with parents as not always easy to speak in rushed times, i.e. drop off and collection.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.415)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.415) out of 10 for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.790 for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.79

  • 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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Gillingham Brompton is based on 10 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. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625

  • 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.
