Hall Green Nursery is a welcoming, friendly nursery situated next to the Robin Hood Island, Hall Green. The nursery was opened in May 2004 and expanded in October 2015 to facilitate more children and has been going from strength to strength since that time.

The nursery's principal aim is to create a safe, happy and stimulating environment for young children to thrive. Staff encourage the children to be curious and want to inspire them to be inquisitive and creative through wonderful play opportunities provided by the nurturing and enthusiastic staff.

All children attending the nursery are provided with a carefully planned learning programme, that is delivered in a warm and welcoming environment which ensures your child's individual needs are prioritised and their interests nurtured. Staff observe and assess all children whilst they are here and complete detailed learning journals that they share with parents daily.

The Children's interests are further inspired by off-site visits on environmental walks, nursery trips to the park or local farms and through music and dance by weekly Zumbini classes.

My daughter started here after she was born very prematurely and when released from hospital, it was covid, so she didn’t have any interactions with any children at all. Since being here I have seen her development getting stronger and stronger. Still a few things to brush up on, from the interaction
point, but I’m very happy with the staff and support I have received from Busy Little Bees.

Dear Ryan,


Thank you for your review. It's great to hear that the love, care and attention that's given has made such a positive impact on her life. We're excited to see the progress she makes in the future and greatly appreciate your continued support.

My daughter has been going to this nursery full-time for one year now. She enjoys going to nursery and loves all the staff. This tells me that they are doing a fantastic job with my daughter. They always keep me updated on what she has been doing during the day. The staff are always very polite and
helpful. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Reply from Corinne Hendrickson, Manager at Busy Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green

Thank you for your review. Her lovely smile always brightens up our day and she has been a pleasure to care for. The staff are passionate about what they do and I'm glad that it shows.

Both of my daughters attended Busy Little Bees Hall Green and were always well looked after. The team has stayed the same for many years, which was lovely when my second daughter started in the baby room as all the staff knew us and were familiar.
The manager and the team really care and nothing is
ever too much trouble.
If we hadn’t moved house I would have kept my youngest there until she was ready for school.
The updates they put on Parent Admin is great, as soon as I dropped the girls off I could see what meals they had, drinks, naps and even details of their nappies. In the early days as a new mother, these details were paramount, simply knowing I could login at any time and check on my girls was great, especially viewing photographs of them too! Not many settings offered this feature, it’s well worth it.
But don’t take my word for it, book in a viewing to see for yourself how well the team interact with the children and you’ll see for yourself a great nursery and wonderful team.

Reply from Lucinda Rumble, Manager at Busy Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green

Thank you for your lovely comments, I will share these with the whole staff team. It is lovely to hear that all that we do and share with our parents is beneficial and informative to offer the reassurance to need after you have left them with us. It has been a pleasure having both of the girls and we will dearly miss you all as a family.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 5 months old. The team have become a family to him and he loves going there. We get regular progress updates and are extremely happy with the way they have dealt with the Covid19 pandemic. I feel that my son has learned a lot from his time at nursery. All
of the staff are kind, friendly and welcoming. The children do lovely things together such as little parties at Christmas. I would highly recommend and must make a special mention for the manager and the deputy manager who are always available and on top of everything, you have done a great job!
I also need to mention that my son has food allergies and he is catered for without being excluded from his friends at mealtimes.

Reply from Jackie Davies, Owner at Busy Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green

All of the team have worked extremely hard through the pandemic to reduce the impact it may have had on the children. Thank you for your lovely comments, I will ensure they are passed on.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Busy Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.878 for Busy Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.878

  • 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 Little Bees Nursery - Hall Green is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
