Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston opened in 2006.

It is a bright, friendly and welcoming nursery with a dedicated staff team to give your children the best start in life.

The Bumbo Room (0-2) are based in their own secure unit with a separate milk kitchen. The babies participate in lots of sensory activities and have access to an age-appropriate garden.

The Bumble Room (2-3 years) has a spacious room with access to a covered outdoor canopied toddler area to support free flow in all weathers. Staff aid children with independence such as potty/toilet training and preparing them for their transition to the Pre-school room.

The Buzz Room (3-5 years) has access to a large and spacious room with access to another room for small group focus activities. The staff aid the children with independence and support "school readiness" teaching them the skills they need to be confident in their transition to school.

Each room focuses on the children's interests and activities are based around this which is evident in their implementation books. Environments are inviting and appealing for the children to approach freely.

The nursery celebrates all different festivals, birthdays and children's achievements!

They have a strong partnership with parents, keeping them informed of their child's development through parents meetings and general conversations.

There are many learning opportunities, exploration and adventure for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. Each room is a hub of activity, allowing children to be busy developing and learning new skills throughout their day.

There is a beautiful age-appropriate newly refurbished garden with various resources and activities for the children to access and participate in. They also have "Get Active With Buzz" as physical development is very important for children.

I cannot praise the staff at this nursery enough. My 2 boys attend this nursery and absolutely love it. The staff are professional and very hardworking. They are passionate and all so very lovely. My boys will be leaving the nursery at the end of this month due to moving out of the area and I'm sure
they will miss the staff as much as I will. I can't thank them enough.

Really happy to see my sons development. His interaction with his key workers and other children. Receiving regular photos of what activities he is involved in is also appreciated. My sons' vocabulary has developed so much and it is down to his key workers interaction/relationship with him - Thank you.

My child loves coming to nursery. She was unsettled when she moved from the small room to the pre-school room but the constant and consistent effort from her keyworker was brilliant. My child settled in so well and made some great friends. She has become so confident (something I worried about) and
this is down to the staff at Bush Babies. I'm always greeted with a smile and told how my child has been that day. I couldn't thank them enough!

This was the first time I sat in and watched my 2-year-old son and friends listen and learn at story time, my son was over the moon to see me there and was well behaved interacting with questions and answering questions, with all his little friends doing the same. I was truly amazed and proud to see
my son shine in the class, also seeing all the children getting involved, the staff were amazing. All staff especially his key worker and manager would go out their way to make sure my son and I are happy and satisfied with any queries and issues raised in the past and dealt very professionally. Staff are not praised enough with the amount of effort and time they put in, so I would like to thank you all for your hard work. Not many parents would see what I have seen today and it really made my day and made me proud to say my son goes to this nursery, I was singing praises all morning to my friends and family and to see all the children so happy. Happy boy equals a happy mummy.

I came to the Christmas fayre and the staff were very friendly. The environment was very clean and welcoming and it looked like a lot of time and effort as well as hard work had gone into the organising. During the event, staff knew what was what and it was very clear they had excellent relations with
the children as the children and parents seemed very at ease in the environment. A well organised and played out event. Well done all.

We have twin boys who attend this nursery. They started at 13 months old and are now 4 years in Feb 2018. They have developed milestones at this nursery. From learning to crawl, walk, feed themselves, use a beaker - cup to now eating independently using cutlery. They have learnt a tremendous amount
and we thank all the staff at the nursery for their friendly, informative and supportive help. The chef cooks great meals which our boys love eating more! They have made friends and are starting to develop as individuals. Best decision to join this nursery!

The nursery is a safe, friendly and happy environment, my children are happy and enjoy coming each day. They have got strong rapport with staff, all of whom show such genuine care and interact in their well being and development. The food is excellent and they are encouraged to have good table manners.
I
have a huge respect for the staff who care for my children, they make them feel safe, give them fun, learning, laughter and warmth.

I am confident that my son is looked after very well and in good care whilst at the nursery. He has a great bond with his key worker and she has done a great job. Whilst he has been in the baby room, the handover when picking him up is good and you are kept well informed of his day's activity.

My child loves coming to nursery. He has a very special bond with staff, especially his key worker who he is happy to be passed over to without getting upset and will wave us goodbye. The care is fantastic! The staff are very nurturing and I feel safe leaving my child with them. I love receiving all
of the artwork and photos of activities that he has participated in! All staff throughout the rooms will acknowledge him and always say hello. Communication between myself and the staff is great! They always keep me informed on what he has done throughout the day, what he has eaten etc.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.742)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.742) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.742 for Busy Bees Leicester Thurmaston is calculated as follows: ( (384 Excellents x 5) + (108 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 503 Ratings = 4.742

  • 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 Leicester Thurmaston is based on 42 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, which has been reached with 42 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.
