A fantastic nursery. The staff are caring and approachable and provide stimulating activities for my daughter. She's always happy when I pick her up. It's also good to know my daughter receives a wide range of delicious fresh meals so she is getting the varied diet that I can't always provide at home.

My son attends this nursery as has my daughter who is now at school. The staff here are very caring and attentive. They also listen to parents concerns finding safe practical ways to implement new processes. Staff are always happy and management ensure you are happy too. The food is excellent, wide
variety and fresh everyday. I will continue to recommend this nursery. My son is very well cared for here.

Overall, we are very pleased with Busy Bees, the staff are all professional and friendly with high standards. We are happy all aspects including our son's key worker reception and how we are kept informed of changes on events. Our son has developed really well so we can't expect any more than that.
Thanks for all your hard work.

My daughter started at Busy Bees Nursery when she was 7 months old. The thought of having to leave my child with strangers was so distressing, however, the staff made the transition so easy, they genuinely care and show deep affection for the children.
My daughter is now 3yrs old and loves her days
at nursery, she does so much there and has so much fun. The meals are healthy and balanced. The communication between staff and parents is brilliant. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are so lovely and helpful, from the office staff to the staff in the rooms.

My child started in August 2016 and overall we Happy with Busy Bees at Longbridge, Birmingham. A few teething issues to begin with but overall we are happy with sending our child here. One thing I would say is that a number of ill children or outbreaks of illness is frequent (every 2-3 weeks), but I
guess little children and grubby hands spreads germs. The majority of staff are great, it took some time with others to warm to but all friendly and willing to help.

Since my son has attended at a full-time position he has settled much quicker. The staff have been very patient and understanding about his emotions.
They are honest about whether or not he has a good day or a bad day.
I feel less cake/sugar treats (not that much is given) and more simple plain vegetables
to be offered, only as this is my sons' personal preference.

My daughter has been at this nursery since May 2016. I am very happy with the care she receives. She loves going to nursery.


All the staff are lovely. When speaking to the staff they genuinely care for the children and are not just doing a job. They have an in-house Nurse who can assist with

any medical concerns you may have. I am kept up to date on a daily basis with what my daughter has done that day and they have events that parents can be involved in also.


Excellent nursery and I would recommend it.

There were concerns about my son's behaviour due to his delay in communication. I have been called a couple of times to come and pick him earlier than the normal time, I was so worried and disturbed because most of the time I am always at work. After having a couple of meetings to discuss way out, we
were able to sort the problem.

We are very pleased with the nursery, our daughter has settled in really well, she has lots of fun and chats about the staff and children when at home. The staff are all very friendly and I particularly like the fact that they all know her name regardless of whether they work in the office or directly
with her.

I found it quite difficult to decide which nursery was best for my daughter and so far I am happy I made the right choice.
The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful and I feel that whatever I ask of them they always do everything they can to help. It's refreshing to see a good balance of nursery
nurses from various age groups and many of the staff have been employed there for many years.
The facilities are good and clean and there is a good variety of food, where various dietary needs are catered for.
The Manager and/or Deputy are there at all times and I feel they are very caring and considerate to my child.
Even though my daughter has only been there for a short amount of time, I feel content that she is very well looked after and that I made the right choice in sending her there.

I was worried about my daughter settling into the nursery as she only attends one day a week but has settled in so well at Busy Bees Longbridge, she talks non-stop about her friends and what she has done when I pick her up. She really enjoys it and has come on so well since starting. The staff are amazing
and really friendly and I know she is being well looked after. I have a detailed report each day I pick her up down to what and how much delicious meals she's eaten, couldn't recommend enough.

Busy Bees Longbridge welcomed my daughter to the nursery in September 2016 where she has settled well and made beautiful relationships with her keyworker and friends in the room. She is really well supported in her development and I am regularly updated on her progress in the week. I can't thank the
nursery enough for making my child and me a great part of the nursery team.

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.
