Busy Bees Castle View is a fantastic nursery. My daughter is taken care of by an amazing team, always professional and welcoming. My partner and I are so happy to have chosen this nursery. We get a constant update on the progress of our child, we get feedback from each member of the staff and our daughter
is always happy to go there. I would give 6+ stars to all the categories. Great facilities and fantastic outdoor space for the kids to play and develop.


I want to thank all the staff for the amazing work they are doing. Busy Bees Castle View SuperStar Nursery!

Both my kids have attended Busy Bees Castle View, with my youngest still in attendance and they have both loved the experience. Staff are so genuinely approachable and friendly and the daily updates via the app are so comforting. The facilities here (especially the forest kindergarden) are excellent,
as is the food selection. I am always surprised at the learning which takes place on my child's days there - it makes my little one so happy and confident! Would most definitely recommend.

My son has been going to Busy Bees, Castle View for 8 months now, since I returned from maternity leave and absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so great with him and helped him settle in so easily. The staff give us regular updates and photos throughout the day via the app and always offers a

Excellent nursery and wonderful staff. Our second son attends the nursery, as did his older brother and the youngest is due to start in a few months’ time. The children are very well cared for, staff are so attentive and do lots of fun and educational activities. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Both of our sons have attended Busy Bees, Castle View from the age of 9 months old. We truly feel as though they and we, are part of the Busy Bees family. There is an excellent outdoor space including their very own woods and lots of indoor activities. The app is great for keeping track of meals, naps
and toileting during the day. The staff are fantastic.

My little girl has been attending Busy Bees, Castle View for almost a year now and they have been so brilliant with her. She was super upset in the beginning and really struggled being left but they gave her lots of help and patience and did as many settling-in sessions as possible. She has gradually
become better with drop off's and pick-ups and is now at a point where she loves talking about the staff and children when not there. The staff have been incredible. Her key worker has been wonderful through the whole time, as have the rest of the staff and I never have any worries about her being there or how they treat her. The app is great for the updates on her food and activities throughout the day too.

He learns so much and has the opportunity to take part in a good variety of activities indoors and outdoors. The updates on the app put in by staff are regular and informative
which helps with peace of mind. We enjoy the extra activities planned around the seasons for the whole family to engage in. We are really glad we chose Busy Bees and a big thank you to everyone there.

This nursery is a place where you can feel 100% comfortable as you know your child is in the best care. They do so much with children to develop ready for primary school, giving them as always the best start in life and that is what Busy Bees are all about. Keeping children at the heart of what they
do. The. relationships the children build are great and even our daughter comes home talking about the teachers, which is great as it shows they enjoy nursery and creating memories and it will be sad to leave this year. Starting school in August I know she will be fine as Busy Bees has set her up for a good start.

Since our daughter started at this nursery, due to a house move last year, she has settled extremely well. The nursery has made our daughter and ourselves feel at ease and we are confident that she is being looked after with great care and given the best start possible. All the staff are friendly, not
just the ones dealing directly with our daughter.
The nursery itself is laid out extremely well and even though each of the age groups has a separate room, it has a very open feel about it. The manager's office is in the main foyer and the door is always open, so you feel welcome to speak with the manager/office staff, either in relation to something with the nursery or even just to say hello.
The outside area is fantastic with lots of space for the children to explore. There is also an enclosed secret woodland area, which our daughter loves going into as well.
Our daughter comes home happy, so we are happy.
We would definitely recommend this nursery.

My two boys love going to Busy Bees, Castleview. It makes me so happy seeing how much fun they’ve had when I pick up and how much they’ve learned! There’s a good balance between indoor and outdoor activity and there are some really creative learnings. The ladies there are really friendly, communicative

My son has been going to Busy Bees for 18 months, and they are a brilliant childcare provider. In particular, I have noticed lots of new things he's learned from nursery - language, songs, dances, and social skills, they offer a great range of activities, and it's very obvious that he enjoys his time
there and feels secure and safe. The staff are friendly and informative and always have time to discuss any queries/needs you have as a (sometimes anxious!) parent. The nursery management is very slick, and the inclusion of family days and social events has been brilliant since the lockdown restrictions have eased - it's been brilliant to meet others and see my son so happy in his room. In terms of the 'technical' stuff, Busy Bees are brilliant for risk assessment, administering medication and communication, and the food/nutrition is second to none. Since my son's been able to talk, he's expressed happiness at going to Busy Bees and now says he "loves" it! Would highly recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.050)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.050) out of 10 for Busy Bees Castle View 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Busy Bees Castle View is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.05 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Castle View is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.05

  • 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.
