My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 2 years and she loves it. Staff are brilliant with her and are happy to work through any problems she may encounter. The manager is always happy to discuss all progress and also advise as to what may benefit my daughter. My daughter also has a firm favourite,
who always has a smile on her face! The facilities available are good and the outside areas are a huge plus.

My daughter has been going since last year and has developed so much and now she is potty training and is doing well thanks to the help of the nursery staff!


All the staff are very polite and pleasant and my daughter loves them. She enjoys going and has made so many friends, the staff have encouraged

her to develop her skills and develop her as a little girl and I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family and my second daughter will be joining in a few years too.

Really friendly and caring staff. A good range of activities for the children. A great menu of home cooked food and very accommodating to special dietary requests. Outdoor space is OK but limited due to the space they have. Communication day to day does not always pass along everything but all important
information is always passed on.

My daughter has been with Busy Bees in Loughborough since a baby. As she is my only child I have been supported in her development all throughout. The manager and her team deliver outstanding care. We are delighted to have our 3 Year old develop and she loves it here she really absolutely does!!!

Fantastic staff! Really approachable, helpful and highly experienced. The nursery is lovely, each age range has their own room to play and learn in. We've also found it very clean. You can tell the staff do the job because they love it. Very caring and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent!

This nursery I would highly recommend. I have already recommended a friend whose daughter starts soon. The staff are so kind and friendly. My child's key worker is fab and always so positive. Management is flexible and tailors to your needs. My little boy loves the nursery and I always suggest Busy
Bees whenever someone is looking for a nursery. Thank you for helping my son settle in :)

My baby loves being there. Couldn't have found a better nursery. I know that he is in good hands. It's not only about socialising but he is gaining skills for life as well. I am happy with how the nursery staff stimulate my child's development by play.

Busy Bees Loughborough is a fantastic nursery. My child has been with them from 6 months old through to 3 years. There is an abundance of toys and games for her to play with, inside and out. It has been great to watch her develop over the years through the learning environment practised by the friendly
staff. There have never been any issues with booking extra days and there are sometimes discounts on these such as "bogof". I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for child care, I couldn't have asked for a better service from them.

The nursery is always welcoming with a warm and friendly atmosphere. My child responds well to staff and they provide a safe and educational environment. It is very clean and the food on offer is of a high standard. There is a range of good quality toys and activities to keep my child happy and learning.
The administration of the nursery is very good indeed and all my questions are always answered.

I cannot praise this nursery enough! As a mother who was returning back to work, I was concerned with how my child would settle in and how much I would miss out on his development. My child is also on medication and has food allergies. The staff are always so cautious with administering his medication
and he has a one to one during meal times to prevent him consuming any of his allergy foods. The paper work regarding his health/medication/risk assessment is always thorough and up to date....as a parent this makes me feel very reassured. Often my child comes home with paintings or photographs showing me how he has spent his day. He also has a nursery book which tells me everything from how much he has drank, eaten/what he has eaten, how many nappy changes he has had and at what time, what activities he has taken part in - communication is fantastic! His learning journey is full of all the interesting things he has done (evidence of the activities he has taken part in) and details of his development.
The staff are very approachable/friendly but also professional. My little boy puts his hands out to the staff every morning to greet them and he always gets excited when the manager pops into the room. When we go to collect him, he's really happy to see us but he tends to carry on playing which shows us how content he is there. He also sleeps and eats well at nursery which also shows me how comfortable he is being at Busy Bees. When the nursery manager pops into the rooms, all the children know her and she knows everything about all of the little ones that attend the nursery.....I've even seen the manager taking part in activities with the children and going on trips out - this is something which I find lovely. Equally the staff all seem really happy at work and relaxed when the manager pops into the rooms....this shows me that the working relationship with staff is good.

Overall we were pleased with my our son's recent review, which we found informative and well presented. As his parents we are happy with how he has settled at Busy Bees and are pleased with how he's developing, which is a credit to the staff. He is also confident around other children and mixes well,
which we believe is down to his time at Busy Bees.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Busy Bees Loughborough 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.879 for Busy Bees Loughborough is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 Loughborough is based on 14 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 14 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.
