Busybees at Rushmere St Andrews have been fantastic with my daughter. The entire staff is very helpful. The girls in the baby room are fabulous. My daughter has a great bond with the girls in the baby room. The entire staff has been great answering my phone calls during the day when I ring to check
in on my daughter who is full-time at the nursery. The changes I have seen with my daughter, who was clingy, is now a very confident and social and happy girl. The nursery has been very good with my request for food for my daughter as we do not eat pork, they offer a vegan alternative. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the activities during summer, I wish there were more during winter. Admin have been great with sorting childcare vouchers. Staff are very helpful with medication requests. The girls would ring me if my daughter was poorly straight away and also update me (sometimes 2 hourly).


Overall - a really good nursery and my daughter was looked after very well and I would recommend this nursery.

Overall, nursery standards are good. My son enjoys the nursery and is excited to go and take part in whatever activities are happening on the day.


Always enjoys his food and has a good relationship with his key worker.

My child enjoys his days he spends at nursery settled into preschool well and is always excited about going to nursery to see his friends. He loves his food so getting fed throughout the day with homemade cooked meals is great and there's always something different on the menu. The staff in his room
are always welcoming and very pleasant and my son has warmed to them over time and always seems comfortable being left with them. He loves taking part in phonics and having a story or any singing activity.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.059)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.059) out of 10 for Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.757 for Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.757

  • 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 4.302 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.402

  • 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.
