Busy Bees Thurstaston Nursery offers children a fun and stimulating environment in which to learn. Nestled in leafy surroundings, the setting lends itself well to the nursery's ethos of first-hand experiences through outdoor play. The nursery is purpose-built and specifically designed to provide a nurturing learning environment. The setting is safe and secure, with CCTV in operation throughout the building.

The nursery boasts its own off-site Forest School offering children the invaluable opportunity to explore their imaginations and interact with the natural world, boosting their powers of observation and their self-confidence as they learn new things.

The unrivalled Pre-school for children aged 3-5 offers a rich, action-packed curriculum which includes daily phonic sessions and exercise classes, run alongside the EYFS curriculum. Every effort is made to inspire the children to initiate their own learning and encourage independence in readiness for school life.

A menu of freshly prepared, natural and tasty food is provided daily by all of the nurseries.

My son has been settled in the nursery and enjoys all the activities and outdoor play. I have always needed a bit more flexibility in the days/hours due to the fact that I do freelance work but this has not been possible a lot of the time.

Cannot fault the nursery one bit, go out of their way to help my son and I. He has come a long way since starting there and my son's key person is faultless. Very good at her job.

All staff are very caring and care about each child as an individual. They enable each child to reach their own ability. They are always affectionate and treat every child like a member of the family. Management is very professional and always deal with all concerns with understanding.

Daisy & Jake has provided an extremely safe and stimulating environment for my child for the past 2 years. My child has developed socially beyond belief and has the confidence to independently seek friendships. Throughout these years my son has gained positive bonds with staff within the setting and
feels safe and happy within their care. Daisy & Jake have given me as a mum so much confidence in them as a care provider. Thank you, Daisy & Jake Irby.

A great nursery where the staff obviously enjoy what they do and really care about the children's welfare and development. I have two boys in the nursery, aged 2 and 4, who thoroughly enjoy their time there. The activities and themes are constantly changing, keeping the children interested and stimulated.
The pre-school provision is excellent with opportunities to take part in Forest School and Spanish lessons.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.546) out of 10 for Busy Bees Thurstaston 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.938 for Busy Bees Thurstaston is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 3.608 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Thurstaston is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.233

  • 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.
