Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Brilliant atmosphere and lots going on throughout the day. My sister's child comes home from nursery tired out which shows how much fun goes on.
My sister is extremely happy with the nursery and said the staff are all very helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.359)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.359) out of 10 for Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 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 4.880 for Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 4.479 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park is based on 14 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 146 number of registered child places is 29.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.2 = 0.479

  • 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.

Job Title: Centre Director

Joined: 2002

Hi, I am Sarah the Centre Director here at Hornbeam Park.


I have been the Centre Director since 2022 having worked for Busy Bees since 2002 working my way up through various positions and gaining my qualifications with Busy Bees. I have two boys of my own who keep me on my toes but bring me a wealth of experience that I can implement within the nursery. They both attended Busy Bees when they were younger.


I love to see the children learn and grow into confident human beings, knowing that my staff team share the same passion and enthusiasm in their learning and development striving to give the children the best start in life. 


I look forward to welcoming you into the Busy Bees family and if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
