We first started Busy Bees in Wootton Fields in the summer of 2022. From the very start myself and my child have loved the experience and opportunities available each day at the nursery. The activities, energy, comfort, and loyalty to each task is above and beyond! Not to mention the wonderful assortment
of food which my child loves to eat.
Wootton Fields have consistently communicated with me as well, supplying useful information and updates as the weeks progress.
As a first time parent, I have also felt supported, informed, and listened to as well, which I really value.
Thank you Busy Bees Wootton Fields.

I have seen a lot of negative reviews about Busy Bees, but I have no complaints about the Wootton Fields Nursery. The staff are always very friendly. Most of all, my daughter absolutely loves the nursery and her teachers. She has been to a different nursery prior to Busy Bees, but she was always reluctant
and tearful when I took her there. I feel this is because she gets more individualised attention at Busy Bees. I have no regrets and I would recommend the nursery to others.

Me and my child have loved each day of every week my son spent here. Food: excellent menu and if the child doesn't like it, they give choices. The staff are so welcoming and nurturing. My son learned so much and in a few days, I could see that in his conversations. He was always happy and eager to go
there and actually, I had to drag him out to come back home. They have so many types of toys and learning activities. The outdoors is simply fab, I have not seen anything like that. I wish my son had come here sooner and stayed longer (we are moving cities). Special love from mummy and son.

The support in here, is excellent. My son has received 1-2-1 for his speech delay and I feel he is being supported and encouraged every day. The improvement I have seen in just a couple of months, is amazing. All staff are so friendly and helpful, I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and
commitment to help the children. I am recommending the nursery to all my friends, looking for childcare.

very good service and my son is very happy with you. I didn't have any problem whatsoever. One of the senior early year's educators was very welcoming and always smiling. I think everyone, as well, they are friendly. I just remember more, that particular member of staff. Thank you for all the work that
you are doing. God bless you all.

Although our two children have only just started at Busy Bees, two weeks ago, we are very happy with the welcome, care and attention they have been given, to make their settling in experience smooth and as successful as possible. We really appreciate the personal touches and efforts to cater to their
needs, creating a special play area based on one of our children's interests and also paying attention to new foods for our smaller baby. We are kept updated frequently and can rest assured they are in good hands.

I am so happy that my daughter still going here. As she is three years old we have opportunities to leave her from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at nursery which is comfortable for us to study and work. Due to COVID-19, our children are in a safe place. Staff are prepared for everything, for example, they email
us about some positive cases and at the same time they already have prepared a plan of what is needed to do and keep an eye on them. As well as management is professional. If parents have questions about holidays or when you want to leave the child for extra two hours they find solutions promptly. I am thankful as well the education which includes a lot of activities, games and outside playing.

Very lovely staff members, daughter enjoys going to nursery and is hitting more milestones, saying a lot more words, walking more confidently and is enjoying potty training. The physiotherapy lady goes and explains to staff about the child's needs which is lovely that the nursery are taking on the child's
needs and what she needs to get more support in.

My little boy loves attending nursery here, he’s come on leaps and bounds since starting last year in April 2021. He’s always so excited to go to nursery and is always happy when I pick him up. Staff are lovely and have good bonds with my little boy which makes me feel very comfortable leaving him there.
He always comes home with pictures and things from what he’s done in the day. Very good nursery!

I am so glad I chose Busy Bees for my daughter's first nursery, the staff did an exceptional job settling my daughter and within no time she started to love going to nursery. The staff at the nursery are super friendly and professional keeping me up to date with everything, how the day went, what activities
my daughter is enjoying etc. I'm forever grateful to everyone at Busy Bees for making this whole experience for my daughter enjoyable.

Being a lockdown baby, I was really worried about my daughter going to nursery but it was the best decision. She loves going to busy bees and the staff are amazing! I’ve never met so many people who are invested in getting to know each child’s personality and likes/dislikes. The activities they do and
the updates through the app are brilliant!

We love the nursery, he goes in so happy and always comes out clean, tidy and most importantly happy. He made a lush Mother’s Day card and it’s lovely that the nursery puts the time and effort in to doing these things. I have and still always recommend Busy Bess in Wootton Fields to people.

With the craziness around Covid still going on, and parents work circumstances and commitments ever-changing, the nursery has been incredibly accommodating with the flexibility with the school hours for our children. I can’t express my thanks enough for always understanding that circumstances change
and I do understand how much admin gets done behind the scenes to make sure billing is done correctly and catering is in place at short notice for our kids. You all (from admin to teachers) are not only fantastic with our kids and have their best interests at heart, but you express those values to the patents as well. I thank each and every one of you for all that you do. The best choice I could have made to put my child in the Nursery, he has made so many friends, learnt a lot and comes home very happy every day.

Both my son (1) and daughter (3) attend here. My daughter is in preschool now but has gone through every room. They are both very happy to go into their rooms each morning following a cuddle with their keyworker. The staff are all very friendly and always have time to talk through any concerns or questions
I have. The parent zone app gives me updates, photos and observations throughout the day which help me know what they're doing and gives updates on sleep, nappies, food etc.

I have always felt safe leaving my little boy in the care of Busy Bees Wootton branch staff. My son used to ask me to take him to nursery even over the weekend. He misses all the staffs and the children. The branch manager is very kind and efficient in every aspect. I would recommend this branch to
all my family and friends.

My son needed time off from nursery it wasn't a problem. Didn't know when his return date would be at the time, but at short notice, they allowed him back. Also at short notice, the nursery let him adjust his days/hours attending which normally you have to give a notice period. The staff are warm friendly
and welcoming and nothing is any bother for them. They always give 1000% to find the best possible solutions for you and your child. Highly recommended!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Busy Bees Wootton Fields 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.783 for Busy Bees Wootton Fields is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 Wootton Fields is based on 21 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 104 number of registered child places is 20.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
