Our daughter has been with Busy Bees since she was 6 months old and is now two and a half years old. When I was recommended to the nursery by a close friend, at five months’ pregnant, I knew I had to look round and after my tour, I immediately put my child’s name down despite only being five months
pregnant! As soon as I met the staff, I had made my decision really. They are knowledgeable, caring and very much support you as a family not just your child. Our daughter loves going to nursery, especially taking part in their exciting activities and extracurricular, like bilingual sing. She has made such lovely relationships with the staff and often talks about what she has done with them when she’s at home too. Our daughter has learned so much from being at the nursery, her speech is excellent and she has gained so many new skills. It is such a comfort to know that she is so happy at nursery and cared for so well.

I am very happy with the way staff have supported my child with settling into the nursery. They have set up inviting activities for him to explore. Using their app for parents they send lovely photos of my child enjoying his day. It’s a great way to get information on how he has eaten and slept throughout
the day.

Finding the right nursery for your child is never an easy task but from the minute we walked in to Busy Bees at Coventry we were greeted by the staff, saw the set up and we knew instantly it was the one! Our little boy settled quickly and has been attending now for two years. The staff are amazing and
it makes leaving my little boy in the morning so much easier knowing that he is happy and looked after so well.

Our daughter loves attending this nursery and always looks forward to going. She gets a lot out of her days and the staff are always helpful and polite. They keep us up to date with what she has been doing throughout the day and have a range of themed activities each month. They have an excellent outside
area and the meals provided are always nutritious. I feel all the staff are preparing the children well for their start at school.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees at Coventry for 2 years now and absolutely loves it. She even recently asked to go an additional day! She loves the structure, the wide range of activities that she gets involved with, the close relationships she has with all of the staff and forming some amazing
relationships with her friends. I am so impressed with the activities they do and the various areas they get to learn about, the food is amazing and it is so reassuring knowing that my daughter is eating such great food each day. I find the team to be very welcoming and engaging, even the staff that do not look after my daughter day to day know her and will always say hello. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough, my daughter will certainly be very sad to leave this September.

Having started in the middle of the pandemic, the staff at Busy Bees were very reassuring and have handled things brilliantly! They always answer the door with a smile which is very settling knowing that my little one will be safe and well looked after for his time there! When I say we are going to
nursery, my son runs to the front door and is so happy to be going! The nursery setting itself is what made us choose this nursery as it is a home from home and a very calm environment. We absolutely love Busy Bees Allesley Green and we would recommend it to anyone!!!

Busy Bees is an amazing place, staff are always there with a smile on their face! My son has always been happy there, he is inspired, encouraged and challenged every time he is there. I feel they are incredibly supportive of us and it has been somewhere we can rely on in these uncertain times where
my son is not only safe and happy but where he has fun!

I currently have my 3 year old and nearly 2 year old attending Busy Bees. Both settled in easily and enjoy attending. My eldest always talks about things she has done and both walk in with a smile on their faces and walk out happy too! The staff are fantastic - always friendly, caring and approachable.
We would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery, excellent staff and facilities. Our daughter is developing wonderfully thanks to their hard work and commitment, especially throughout covid. With the use of the app, this means we have ideas for activities to also develop our daughter. Our daughter has built such
strong bonds here which makes going to work so much easier. We also get superb support with our daughter's dairy intolerance.

I've been a parent of Busy Bees at Allesley Green for 4 years now and have only good things to say about this nursery. The staff are warm, welcoming, professional and friendly; the facilities are exactly what my children have needed; the communication between staff and parents is excellent and the management
is top-rate. I would highly recommend this nursery for anyone!

My little girl loves going to this nursery and the staff are really welcoming and lovely. They do a wide range of activities with a focus on the children's learning and development. Plenty of outdoor time too in the outside space. Would definitely recommend and I'm looking forward to my baby boy starting
later in the year, I know he will be well looked after.

My son loves going to Busy Bees, he talks about his friends and key workers all the time at home. The staff are friendly and always happy to accommodate our requests. Recently they have been supporting our son through potty training, he is pretty much accident-free when he is at nursery thanks to their
support. They have handled all the recent challenges amazingly and I feel confident sending my son there.

As a hospital working, Busy Bees was our only choice. We were so pleased when we went to visit, and our little girl has fitted into nursery life amazingly. She is welcomed each day by the nursery workers, and her smile goes from ear to ear, which makes going to work a whole lot easier. We tell her each
morning that she is going and she now replies with a "ya" and a walk to the front door. Busy Bees has and will continue to be one of the highlights of her week, and knowing she is being looked after like one of the nursery workers own, is so reassuring. I have recommended to other hospital workers. As a mother, I am so pleased with her care, nutrition and development, and it goes without saying, worth every penny.

Great nursery, my daughter can be quite shy (to begin with) and took some time to settle in each room but has developed really close bonds with members of staff and other children. She looks forward to going and always has lots to say about the fun activities she’s been doing - especially ‘football
man’. A really nice nursery, made great by the staff.

Our daughter has been coming here for just over a year now. She always seems happy and content when I pick her up. The staff are all so friendly and do their best to make our daughter welcomed and settled. They are all helpful and approachable for any concerns I have about development or emotional support
for our daughter. The nursery has a lovely space and feels warm and comfortable. There are a great selection of activities and areas of interest for the children and are development appropriate for each room. It has great access to outdoor space, which was a winner for us choosing nurseries as myself and partner think fresh air daily is important. The app is great and is updated frequently with pictures of activities which is great to see what she has been up to. We are kept well informed. All together very happy with this nursery and would not and have not had any second thoughts about recommending it to others.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.352)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.352) out of 10 for Busy Bees Coventry 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Busy Bees Coventry is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.352 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Coventry is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.227

  • 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.
