Each member of staff is very friendly and always with smiles which makes a good atmosphere of this place. My little princess loves to go there now but I remember when she started in September. It was a very difficult time for all of us and all team worked so hard, with patience, to make sure she is
a part of the group. My little girl made big progress and I am very thankful for that.

We have used Tibbi Tots Nursery in Southport since 2013 (for our son, before his starting school and now for our daughter, currently aged 3). I would highly recommend this nursery and the childcare team in place. The nursery is extremely well managed and is an excellent environment for children.

My daughter started this nursery last year and has settled in fine! She loves going and has come on so much in the months she has been going! It’s great to see her settle in and thrive with friends her age and learn so much whilst having fun too!

Tibbi Tots is a wonderful nursery, my son has been going for almost 6 months and he has loved it, the staff are very attentive and he's grown fond of them. Nutrition is taken very seriously and all the meals and snacks are healthy and made in house and he is always stimulated with plenty of toys and
activities to participate in. Couldn't recommend it enough.

We are very pleased and satisfied with the care and development of our child throughout her time with the nursery. She thoroughly enjoys attending each time and forms a good bond with her. We get a detailed review each day to assist us with some of her health issues we have had. overall a fantastic
nursery and staff are a credit to the management team.

All the staff are brilliant and really care for our son. He is making excellent progress in learning to write and count, even now learning French. He really loves the play combined with learning and enjoys interacting with his friends in the great outdoor-safe area. His food requirements are well catered
for and the management always ensures everything is perfect for him.

The manager and deputy manager are extremely passionate about the children and go above and beyond to support children and their families. The staff are great and really understanding, they are so positive and supportive of children with complex needs also. The chef creates lovely food and my son tends
to have seconds because he enjoys the meals so much. The environment is lovely and clean, outdoor space is lovely with lots of resources available. Our child has additional needs and the nursery could not have done more to support him and include him, building his confidence. This really is a lovely nursery lead by a fantastic management team.

Our little boy loves coming to nursery, he is familiar with all the staff and has a good relationship with them.
The staff are always friendly, helpful and give time to feedback at the end of the session.
I do feel however that the online system doesn't work as well as it could. Would be lovely
to see more pictures/observations and can't always rely on up to date information to what my child has eating, or something different information online to what I get told at pick up time.

My 2-year-old is absolutely thriving at Tibbi Tots. The staff are the epitome of professionalism, whilst making my daughter feel cherished while under their care. She has developed and learned so much. The dedicated nursery chef makes the most wonderfully balanced snacks and meal. Overall, just a fantastic
nursery.

I feel that my child is very safe and cared for. She does have a tendency to worry and get upset, but I know they do everything to distract her. The only thing I would suggest is that Parent Zone isn’t always updated and compared to other nursery’s do not show many photos.


Thank you for everything

that you do!

All of the staff and management at nursery go above and beyond on a daily basis. We go out to work reassured that our son will be well looked after, and he is now of an age where he can show just how much he enjoys attending nursery.
The food is amazing, and always smells lovely when we are dropping
off and collecting. We would recommend the nursery (and have done) to any of our family and friends.

Both my daughters attend nursery and both love it. The amount of different activities available to them is fantastic. I enjoy hearing about her day and all the things she has been learning about. Martin Mere (WWT Wetland Centre) came to visit which she enjoyed. Over Halloween ZooLab (live animal handling
workshops) came to visit which both my children got to see and enjoyed. I like the 'decorate a Christmas tree decoration', to tie in with home observations. This is a great idea to help busy parents to take a minute and help their child and to spend that time with them and to also get us involved. Every member of staff is approachable and easy to talk to. Very helpful, very pleasant, smart and the whole nursery is just a great place. I am very happy we chose this nursery and strongly recommend it to anybody and everybody. The manageress Sharon has a great team.

The nursery is fantastic and the staff are very welcoming, I always feel very welcome when dropping off and collecting my child.
Without a doubt, I would always recommend this nursery to

My child was very anxious starting nursery and we weren't sure it the right step for him but the staff at Tibbi Tots Nursery in Southport have been so supportive with him and with me and his Dad. He is settling in really well thanks to them. He is really happy and is flourishing since he started. Love
all the staff, they really care about all of the children. Tibbi Tots is a great nursery with genuine staff and wonderful facilities. Their outdoor space was my favourite out of all of the nurseries we went to view (and we went to see A LOT! )
My little boy loves it and I'm so glad of the choice we made :)

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.739) out of 10 for Busy Bees Southport 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.906 for Busy Bees Southport is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Southport is based on 15 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. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.833

  • 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.
