Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Busy Bees Alton Manor, Belper 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.958 for Busy Bees Alton Manor, Belper is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 Alton Manor, Belper is based on 30 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 30 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.

Becky

Becky Barker

Job Title: Centre Director

Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Becky and I am the Centre Director here at Busy Bees Alton Manor.


I joined Busy Bees in 2022. I have vast professional experience within childcare and have previously worked as a nursery manager and also as a family support worker.


I am passionate about leading my outstanding team in providing that home-from-home approach for all children. We strive to provide children in our care with the best start in life by nurturing, challenging and encouraging them to build their skills and knowledge to be sociable, confident, independent, creative and unique.


As a mum myself, I understand how daunting it can be to take that step at entrusting someone to care for your child. Starting nursery can be an emotional time but we have got many years of experience in making the journey as calm and enjoyable as possible.


In my free time, I spend most of my time with my son which usually means attending football training sessions and football matches. I also enjoy being out on walks with my little dog, Teddy.


My team and I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our exemplary nursery in Belper.
