The ladies in the baby room have done a fantastic job at helping my 10 month old son settle into nursery life. I have absolute confidence that he is receiving the very best childcare.

The staff are very well trained, my child has health issues and they were very understanding and accommodating. In the 6 months he's been going he's more talkative and confident.

The nursery is excellent! My son came to the pre-school a couple of years ago and my daughter has been here since she was 8 months old. The education is fantastic and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since she started here.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a safe, loving
and structured environment for their child.

We are very happy with the care my children are receiving at Scamps Nursery. I have two boys, one of which is still attending Scamps. Both my boys settled well and made special bonds with the staff. The manager goes out of her way to be as friendly and welcoming each time we arrive to drop our son off.
All the staff are very friendly and attentive towards parents and children alike.
This creates a warm and welcoming environment at the nursery. The work that goes into the planning of games, outdoor play/activities is clear to see. My children have thrived and learnt through play and structured activities over their time at nursery. I would highly recommend the nursery to my friends. Thank you and well done to all at Scamps.

My son has attended since 7 months old. I was very concerned he was too young, but the nursery has been in step with his and our needs since day 1.
I don't worry about my son when he's at nursery, and this is the most important thing to me. I pick my child up at irregular times and always walk into
calm- I have never found him crying.


The staff are wonderful - a mixture of ages and experience - all really friendly and professional. The cost is no higher than other nurseries in the area. My son enjoys himself there.

We have been really pleased with Scamps Nursery which our son has attended for 8 months. The staff are very professional and have formed lovely bonds with, my son who had a difficult start. Any issues we have had have been dealt with efficiently and effectively. They adapted to food requests. I would
recommend Scamps as an excellent nursery. Thank you.

My first son went to Scamps and we were incredibly impressed by the quality of care, the standard of education and the personable approach. As a result my baby started at Scamps in September 2015 and it was so reassuring to know the team and for everyone to welcome out family so warmly.
We have been
extremely impressed by our experience of the baby room. My daughter settled immediately, the staff are so warm, empathetic and reassuring. We have been particularly impressed by my daughters key worker who has developed a lovely bond with her and is such a friendly face to see at the end of the working day.

I found Scamps Nursery after a bad experience with a child minder.
My son started Scamps and I instantly felt at ease. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting and he gets really excited when we arrive. I cannot speak highly enough about the entire team at Scamps, they truly are amazing.
Thank you so much for the time we have had at nursery.

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.
