Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have reviewed this nursery as excellent all round. My oldest who is now in school started here just before he was 2 and my youngest at 5 months. I have experienced nothing but excellent care and dedication from the staff here and my oldest came on leaps and bounds and was very well prepared for starting
school. I intend to have my youngest also see out his full preschool experience here. Such a relaxed friendly nursery.

My little boy absolutely loves going to his nursery. He always has so much fun and he's learnt so much in the few months he's been going. The staff are all fab and so friendly. I think he'd prefer to be there all week! Great place!

As a full-time working mum, I take comfort in knowing my child is looked after by staff who genuinely care for him in a safe yet fun environment. Any issues I have had to raise with staff have been well received and dealt with.

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.
