Scamps have been an absolutely brilliant choice for my son. He has attended from 10-months to 4-years-old. Cannot praise this nursery, its staff and its facilities/surroundings enough. Has a real family feel. Thanks to everyone who has helped him on his learning and development journey. I don't think
he could have been better prepared for his steps to primary school. Thanks to everyone at Scamps!

My daughter has been at Scamps Day Nursery from 10 months to pre school and the care and love she has received from start to finish is second to none. She has flourished under their care and I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

My daughter loves coming to the nursery and has thrived while attending over the past three years. The preschool facilities and equipment are fantastic and the nursery has a fantastic outdoor area. All staff show an outstanding amount of care to the children and treat each child as an individual, planning
activities to support their development. The management have a professional but caring attitude towards each child and do an amazing job.

Our two sons attend Scamps Day Nursery and both of them love to be there. We are really pleased with the care provided. The staff are amazing and build up good relationships with every child. They have a high level of enthusiasm, and with the great range of activities covered in the weekly themes, make
it a really fun and educational place for the children. The staff are keen to let the children have a lot of time outdoors, which the nursery is perfectly designed for. The pre-school has excellent learning activities and we feel that our son will be very well prepared for when he starts school in September.

Couldn't be happier with the development we see of our son when he attends Scamps.
My partner and I feel relaxed at work knowing our child is safe. He generally looks forward to attending nursery and gets excited when he sees the building.
The online journal works really well keeping us informed of
our son's journey.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Busy Bees Macclesfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.994 for Busy Bees Macclesfield is calculated as follows: ( (346 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 Macclesfield is based on 29 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 98 number of registered child places is 19.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
