My son has been attending the nursery for nearly 3 years. Over the years, he has gained so much confidence and developed his skills during structured activities within a fun and sociable learning environment. He always has an enjoyable day and this has all been made possible by the friendly and supportive
team.

My daughter joined Busy Bees when she was 12 months old. I was very apprehensive sending her to nursery as I was nervous with trusting anyone else taking care of her. However, when I met the staff I was made to feel very comfortable. They were so kind in stressing that I could call as many times as
I wanted to check in on her. They were very reassuring, the app is great where meals, nappy changes, sleep and photos are uploaded. The nursery manager and all of the staff are super helpful. My daughter seems happy and comfortable there which is the main thing. Very glad we chose this nursery.

Our son joined Busy Bees in September 2024 at 9 months old. He seems to absolutely love being here and always has a big smile on his face at drop-off.
He has made so much progress in the few months he's been here and staff have been very supportive in helping him to reach new milestones. At home,
he often shows us the new actions he's learnt to nursery rhymes they've been singing at nursery.
As first time parents, it's also been great having their support and advice when asked.
We regularly receive updates and photos through the app about his day. We love that they have themed days and activites for the children to get involved in.

Busy bees Longbridge is a fantastic setting that is super supportive of our family as a whole. Both of my children have been through busy bees with my youngest now in pre school. He loves his nursery days and is always coming home telling us about the fun activities he's done. There is a wonderful atmosphere
there and they are really encouraging of the children to be become as independent as possible and to make good decisions. The menu is fantastic, my son gets to explore a wide variety of foods that he wouldn't touch at home. They have a brilliant curriculum that I can tell will help him with his school transition this year. Overall our busy beds experience has been wonderful and I will be sad when I have no children there in the not too distant future. Thank you!!

Since starting at Busy Bees, our child has thrived in their fun social enviroment, all staff are brillaint and all facilities are clean well maintained and looked after, security and staff awareness is excellent, if weve had any kind of issues be it at home, with our child, or something to do with nursery,
me and mum have both felt very supported by staff, handovers are always fairly quick clear and informative, we have absolutely no complaints about the nursery and special praise should go to the centres manager, she is absolutely FANTASTIC :) x

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees since January 2023 and loves it there! The staff have been wonderful with her and she has built many great relationships with her key workers - even when we bump into them outside of the nursery setting they always make the time to interact with her. The care
provided is exemplary, and she is enjoying her learning journey. I've always received thorough updates about her day and any thoughts I have about her learning or development are listened to and factored into her activities. Recently my daughter has been diagnosed with food intolerances and the nursery have been very accommodating with these, with the nursery chef even checking in personally to ensure everything was ok and ask how our daughter is finding the change.
We are very happy with our decision to choose Busy Bees, and will be sad when the time comes to bid farewell to her nursery journey.

My daughter is 9 months old and has recently started at Busy Bees Longbridge, it's taken some time for her to settle as it's a big change but the staff are lovely and have called to inform me of how my daughter is doing, they've followed her routines and really looked after her during the transition.
The app is great and is regularly updated by the staff with photos and comments on what she's been doing and what she's eaten. Lovely nursery and lovely staff.

It's a very hard decision to trust your child with several complete strangers. However, in the short space of 3/4 weeks the staff of Busy Bees Longbridge have made me feel 1. Comfortable to attend the nursery and express my preferences for my baby. 2) although she gets upset on drop off, I can see and
I am reassured she settles with the friendly staff. 3) i am updated regularly via the app on sleeps, meals & nappy changes with the occasional cute pic at play time. Im also told about our baby's day upon pick up whether she has been fussy or very playful, they are honest about how she has been that day (our baby loves her days at nursery! ). I am absolutely a Velcro mom and get complete anxiety leaving my baby but as my baby has settled into Busy Bees, I myself as a parent have settled with this milestone thanks to the staff & management of Busy Bees.

My little boy has been at nursery since 10 months old, and in seven months, he has thrived. They reinforce what we teach at home, boosting his confidence - he's great at walking and picking up new words. He's also learned skills like putting things away and wiping his own face.
He's a happy, cheeky
boy who loves nursery. Of course, he has moments of missing us, but the staff are always honest and keep us informed. We get great handovers, adorable pictures, and the sweetest birthday cards our family treasures.
The staff truly care - I see it in how they interact with him, and even those not in his room know his name. He's always clean, and his clothes never come home ruined. We've had one fall and one fever call, and both times communication was immediate.
I was so nervous about sending him, but they made it so easy. Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham has been fantastic, and my little boy loves them all.
Thank you!

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees for 11 months, and we have nothing but amazing reviews for this nursery. The development, support and guidance provided by staff not just to our daughter but to us as parents has been nothing short of outstanding. Our daughter struggled with settling in for the
first few months, but with the friendly staff and encouragement of peers, she has become a very confident, outgoing little girl. The cleanliness of the nursery is always on point, and staff are always on hand.

After being apprehensive about returning to work and my little boy starting nursery at 8 months old, I couldn't have wished for a better experience for him. The entire team are warm and friendly and their app provides such a good insight into my son's day - photos, meals, sleeps and nappy changes. It

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.912 for Busy Bees Longbridge, Birmingham is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 Longbridge, Birmingham is based on 18 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 18 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.
