As a parent, I feel very confident with the care my little girl receives while at nursery. The staff are always happy, pleasant and polite, my daughter is always happy when at nursery. I am very happy with the progress and how much my daughter has come on since she has started with Busy Bees. The girls
in baby 1 and 2 do a brilliant job and know my daughter very well, they always give brilliant feedback at the end of the day.

Our son started nursery at 6 months old and attended 3 days a week. He is now two and a half and has recently increased his attendance to full time.
His dad and I have watched him grow and develop into a wonderful little boy, who enjoys nursery very much.
The staff are excellent. They are all very
caring, kind and patient.

Both my twin girls attend this nursery. They have been going there for nearly 2 years. The staff and the management team have been so supporting and helpful with the girls. Each morning we are always welcomed with a smile and the girls are welcomed by the staff so nicely. They have been a great support
in the development of the girls and we have noticed so much change in the time they have been going to the nursery.
We would like to thank the Busy Bees staff at Walsgrave for all the continued support and we cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for our twin girls.

A very excellent nursery. The teachers are professional, caring, kind, friendly extra mile taken. You are sure of incredible service and peace of mind when your child is in the nursery.
The managers and office staff are also very friendly easy to relate and approach. I would 1000% not 100% recommend
Walsgrave Busy Bees to everyone.
A super nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.377)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.377) out of 10 for Busy Bees University Hospital 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 10 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 4.950 for Busy Bees University Hospital is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 4.427 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees University Hospital is based on 10 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 117 number of registered child places is 23.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.427

  • 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.
