My little girl has an amazing time everyday at Scamps.
She is always so happy to arrive in the morning and sad to leave at night.
The staff are exemplary.

I can't say a bad word about Scamps. My little fella has been there for four years and finished today for big school. The amazing staff in Scamps have ensured that he has all the tools he needs to transition to school. They have always been so nurturing and caring towards all the children and its just
the best environment for little ones. I would recommend it to anyone. If I could keep my son at Scamps for longer then I would. I'm going to miss them all at the Scamps Family.

Scamps Day Nursery has been a fantastic experience for our daughter over the last two years. She has developed massively during her time here and most of all had tremendous fun! The staff are amazing, the planned weekly activities provide the perfect conditions of learning and enjoyment, and last but
not least the location is perfect! Ten out of Ten, and I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Scamps is an outstanding nursery. The staff are truly exceptional and always put the childrens needs first. Our son has settled into each different room without any upset. The location is beautiful, surrounded by parkland and blessed with lots of outdoor space. The manager ensures she knows each of
the children personally and genuinely cares about them. I can not speak highly enough of Scamps and all the amazing team.

Scamps have looked after our two children now, helping them develop into wonderful young people. Without fail, all the staff have been supportive, caring and loving towards our children. As our youngest prepares to start school, I can't imagine a better place for her to have prepared.

Scamps is a wonderful place. Both of our children have attended since they were one. All of the staff have always been a massive support and have done their very best for the boys. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The children loved it and we will be very sad to say goodbye. Thank you Scamps for
everything. It is a truly magical place.

We are thrilled with our daughters time at Scamps Day Nursery. She is very confident and secure and we know this is in part due to her time at Scamps Day Nursery. She gets a great variety of creative and physical activities and she is always happy when we drop her off and collect her.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We and our son loved this purpose built nursery. The 3 and a half years have flown by. When we were considering childcare, we were initially impressed by the owner's genuine desire to make sure the children have the best start as well as her attitude to risk ie not to wrap the children up in cotton
wool but to let them take calculated risks.
The staff work hard to enrich the children's days with each week having a theme eg bugs and beasts, emergency services, pirates.
It's a caring, welcoming environment as opposed to the clinical atmosphere of some we visited, with the children having photos above their coat pegs and lots of hugs if upset. The nativity plays will always remain a highlight.
Yes, it is expensive but it is worth the money - we never regretted our choice. Although our son is leaving well prepared for school, we will really miss Scamps, the staff and the friends we have made there.

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.
