I highly recommend this nursery. Initially, I was quite anxious about leaving my daughter in their care, but the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. After over a year with them, they have truly become like family. With the recent arrival of my second daughter, I am eager for her to join as well.
The
nursery excels in every aspect, from its outstanding facilities to its excellent food. Having visited all the nurseries in the area, I can confidently say this one is the best. They maintain excellent communication through photos and messages throughout the day and offer fantastic additional activities for parental involvement.

I am so happy with the care of my children here at Busy Bees. They really have taken the time to get to know both of my children on a personal level. The food is so varied and healthy and the preschool room really takes the time to offer the children their opinion on how it runs and what they get up
to during the day.

I would like to say how amazing the nursery have been to support my son's needs over the last 2 years since he has attended the setting. He has received amazing care from all staff who have come into contact with him during his time at the nursery and as a family, we will be really sad to say goodbye
when he moves on to school in September. The team are always very friendly and helpful with any concerns we have had and always ready to offer support and advice on any challenges we have come across on our journey in early years childcare for our son. I would really recommend the nursery to parents of children with additional needs as they have a great SENCO and a staff team who are willing to continue to extend their learning and skills to support your child. They have been accommodating of our son's dietary needs due to his additional needs and for this, we cannot thank them enough. The preschool team are a credit to the nursery, the senior team are supportive and approachable, especially the manager!

We are very happy with the nursery and staff. All staff are very helpful and supportive and our daughter absolutely adores her key workers. At the start, our daughter struggled to settle in as she only comes one day a week, but the staff really put extra effort to help her to settle in and she loves
to go to the nursery now. It’s always nice to drop her off in the morning as we know she will have a fun day.

The facilities and staff at Busy Bees are fantastic. We did struggle with so many different staff as our son started, but he is well settled now. It’s nice that they understand his personality as much as we do.
My only gripe is the app often logs me out and doesn’t recognise biometrics, and I have
to reset it - a very minor issue.

My child has been really well looked after at Busy Bees. We have really noticed changes in her development since she started, only last month, which has been a real joy to see. The nursery is great at keeping us informed about her day via the app, and we love getting updates and photos. Staff are very
friendly and positive and highly skilled. We feel confident that they have our daughter's best interests at heart and have got to know her quickly, building a lovely relationship with her. We are very grateful knowing she is being so well looked after on the days she attends - thank you.

My daughter began going to the nursery in March 2023 and the team there have been brilliant so far. Our little girl looks forward to going there and I have never experienced any issues. They have all been great in helping her settle into nursery and making me feel at ease and that she is looked after
well.
They communicate with us via the app which is great, I know this must take a lot of time but any more pics you can add when she is there would be great (appreciate there is not always time).

Our daughter absolutely loves attending Busy Bees Nursery. Even from a young age it’s been clear when dropping her off in the morning that she has built positive relationships with the regular staff in her room. She can’t wait to get over to them for a cuddle and to start playing.
Staff are very friendly
and accommodating; nothing is ever too much trouble. They are happy to answer any questions and are always available for a chat. We have built a great relationship with our child’s key worker.
Communication from the nursery is great and the regular updates on the app have given us so much peace of mind. We absolutely love seeing the photos of what she’s up to throughout the day. She engages in a range of exciting and stimulating activities.
The meals and snacks provided are balanced and healthy; it’s wonderful knowing our child is being exposed to a wide variety of foods during her weaning journey.
Couldn’t recommend Busy Bees enough.

My son will soon be leaving the nursery to move on to "Big School" after attending since he was 9 months old. Throughout the nursery, we have had a positive experience, and he has always seemed to be happy to be left in the morning.
The staff within the setting are welcoming and friendly. He has
some lovely bonds with the practitioners, and one person particularly has moved through the nursery as he has progressed and she has been an absolute superstar! He will be lost without you. The practitioners have been on hand for advice and support in various development stages; and been knowledgeable and professional. I feel the nursery has handled the current situation well. I know I can ring to speak to his key worker at any time; I do not feel his learning or wellbeing have been hampered.
The observations we receive through the app are lovely and show a range of activities.
I'm very confident my son is ready for school, and I cannot thank the nursery enough for their major input.

My grandson attended here from 18-months-old until he left to go to school. On leaving, my grandson was super confident, independent and totally ready for school life. He flourished whilst at nursery, and on the occasions that I collected him, he couldn't wait to tell me about his fun-filled day. I
always found the staff so welcoming, helpful and ready to offer support and advice when needed. We felt part of the nursery family, and as a grandparent, I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

My little girl has been in the Droitwich Spa Busy Bees nursery since she was 9-months-old and she has really flourished there. She loves going to the nursery and has made some great friends there. The setting is fantastic with loads of activities to keep the children busy. The staff is brilliant; they
are friendly and provide first-class care. The managers are excellent; they answer queries promptly. They ensure the children are well looked after and safe. The nursery has handled the Covid pandemic brilliantly keeping the children safe. I am getting updates on a daily basis about my child's day via the nursery app, which I think is brilliant. My little girl is starting school this September and I think the nursery has prepared her well for this. I can highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

We are beyond delighted to have chosen this nursery. The level of care and love given to our boy is beyond what we could have hoped for. It says it all when we drop him off in the morning and he holds out his arms to the nursery nurse with the biggest smile possible! He's learnt so much and loves going
to nursery. We have complete confidence in them and know he's in the best hands possible. We couldn't be more thankful. The staff in the baby unit are just extraordinary and our son loves them so much.

We are thrilled to hear your comments. We are really pleased to hear about your positive experience at nursery and very much appreciate having you as part of the Busy Bees family.
Your positive feedback will be passed on to staff at nursery, we are sure the team will really appreciate your excellent feedback.

The staff at this nursery have all been so lovely. I'm yet to meet one I don't like, but a special mention goes to a lady in the toddler's room, who my little girl just loves and has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm fully updated despite a communication issue I have. I love the use of crafting
and playtime to encourage skills such as colours, numbers, climbing etc, and the menu has a good variety, which I would fully recommend, especially vegetarian, which I know is a bit hit and miss in other places. My little one is always so happy and chatting away when I go to collect her, she clearly feels safe and happy there.

This last year has been an utter struggle for all. However, as a key worker, I have been able to carry on putting my child into nursery, which was a very worrisome time and does continue to be so. I do feel that the nursery has handled the situation extremely well with the children and has demonstrated
their seriousness of dealing with the task of keeping not only my little one safe but everyone else's too. As well as protecting their staff by enforcing strict Covid-19 restrictions. The care has always been the best and that continues. We have used this nursery for three years now, and I choose this one after lots of peoples recommendations and visiting the nursery, which was the deciding factor, you could tell that the children in their care are well cared for. This is a nursery that invests in the children and their staff, and it shows. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.398)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.398) out of 10 for Busy Bees Droitwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 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 4.817 for Busy Bees Droitwich is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.817

  • 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 4.581 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Droitwich 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.581

  • 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.
