Busy Bees have been absolutely incredible, both for myself and my child, who attended from age 1 till starting school aged 4.
Their support, dedication and care has been nothing short of perfection, through my child's journey, each staff member's professionalism, pride and developmental support has
helped me more than I can ever express.
The dedication from the educators, the key workers above and beyond completion of SEN interventions, the support from the manager, the varied healthy food options from the kitchen to the cleanliness of the rooms, nothing has missed the mark. I will forever cherish the moments that my child experienced, and their recent “Outstanding” is a credit to each person's involvement.
Thank you, to everyone involved in my child’s development I will always be thankful.

Our son has been going to Busy Bees Rugby for the past 2 years and we are exceptionally happy with the care and nurture that he receives. He loves the says he spends there and has formed so many genuine friendships. The staff tailor his play and learning to his interests and needs and are great at encouraging
him. Craft, games and toys, as well as the food, are of excellent quality. Covid implications have been handled sensibly and thoroughly.

Our son loves going to Busy Bees Rugby. The staff are so welcoming to both children and parents and it is clear that they genuinely care about our son. He always has a fun day and is excited to go in every morning. We get great updates about his activities and development. We have been particularly
impressed by the communication we have received during the Covid-19 pandemic about closure and reopening and with all of the new measures in place, we feel very safe leaving our son at nursery.

I've had an excellent experience with both of my children at Busy Bees. Every member of staff I have had contact with has been friendly, polite and helpful. The regular updates through Parent Zone are great, its wonderful to see pictures of the activities they have been doing. My daughter loves attending
and has really thrived, making friends and forming great bonds with the staff. My son has recently started and I have no doubt he will enjoy it just as much! I am very happy knowing they are being looked after in such a caring environment.

I would definitely recommend this nursery, my 3-year-old has been attending since he was 1 and he has always loved it. He has a great time and loves the staff who do lots of different fun activities with the children including lots of time spent outside.

My 2-year-old has been attending since he was 10 months old. When we collect him he is such a chatterbox with all the things he has been doing. The staff are lovely, they have a great variety of healthy meals and do lots of fun activities.

Busy Bees are absolutely amazing. My daughter has been going to since she was 9-months-old and she has just turned three.
I was extremely nervous about her going to nursery, especially because she had a rare lung condition when she was born.
The team have been incredible, so supportive and nurturing
her and us as a family.
Always going the extra mile and they take building a relationship with your child very seriously, which I love.
Through every step of her moving up, they have handled the transition perfectly, planning ahead and keeping your child’s individual needs at the heart of it.
They have great staff retention, and every single member has a relationship with my child.
I never worry about her being at Busy Bees.
Your all amazing, thank you so much for everything you do.

Really beautiful nursery, lovely and caring staff. My daughter goes every day and always has a happy face while going and coming back from the nursery. They take their temperature every day morning and mid-noon to make sure no children don't have any symptoms of coronavirus, which is really appreciable.
I would totally recommend the nursery to anyone.

I have two children who attend Busy Bees at Rugby. My son has just finished and started reception, he was there from around 11-months-old. I can not recommend this nursery enough, all the staff from the baby room up until preschool are fantastic, my son loved them all and looked forward to going to
nursery on the days he was in. They have helped to transition him into reception, and he has gone over so well. Thanks to the staff at Busy Bees, he has been prepared in all aspects, he can count and even spell his own name. All of his learning and development has been mainly down to the staff at Busy Bees, his communication and good manners are amazing. The choice of meals they have at the nursery is great, also my son has been more willing to try things that he has already had. My daughter started around 11-months-old, and she is also enjoying it just as much. I wouldn’t ever consider putting them elsewhere. I cannot thank the staff enough at Rugby Busy Bees; you are amazing!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Busy Bees Rugby 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.928 for Busy Bees Rugby is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.928

  • 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 Rugby is based on 22 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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
