An outstanding nursery which offers quality childcare. My little boy is always cared for by the professional staff who always extend his learning in many ways. I couldn't be happier and certainly, recommend the nursery to other friends and colleagues.

My second child attends Busy Bees currently and he loves it. It is an amazing nursery, with two children having used it, both our children and my husband and I love it. The staff are caring, supportive and whole heartedly have my children's best interests. Both children enjoy going there and enjoy
the activities they do. They have both loved the scrummy food they are served and all the opportunities they have there.

All 4 of our children have attended Busy Bees Great Yarmouth and we can not recommend the nursery highly enough. The level of care we have received for all of our children over the past 10 years has been outstanding, we would have never considered anywhere else. The nursery staff were like extended
family and we are so sad that our youngest is now leaving the nursery to go to school. We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

I have three children and all three have regularly attended Busy Bees at Great Yarmouth nursery. I have always been delighted with the high level of care, friendly staff and nurturing approach towards the children provided by the nursery. The nursery is well resourced and each room provides appropriate
equipment for the relevant age group. I like the fact there are five different rooms and all have access to the outdoors. The staff are extremely caring and they work together to look after all the children. The nursery is particularly good at encouraging the children to build friendships and establish good routines for social situations such as mealtimes and snack times. Two of my children have required special diets and one of them has needed medication to be given during the day. The nursery have catered for my children's' needs extremely well and the chef has provided dairy free menus. The nursery is very flexible in their opening times. Communication with parents, on a daily basis, is brilliant.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.745) out of 10 for Busy Bees Great Yarmouth 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.970 for Busy Bees Great Yarmouth is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Great Yarmouth is based on 11 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.775

  • 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.
