My son has attended the nursery since the age of 1 year old and I can not rate the care and professionalism enough. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm and every morning we are greeted with a smile. The nursery provides an excellent opportunity for my son and he has come along leaps and bounds in
his development. The settling in process made me feel at ease and was tailored to my child's needs which gave me the confidence I needed to feel comfortable to leave my son. The management team are always there to help with any questions I may have and everything is dealt with in a professional way. The building and resources are amazing and everything is always beautifully clean. The outside space is a WOW factor of the nursery with its wide range and equipment and activity's that is offered to all children throughout the day. :0)

All staff are friendly and professional. They show a great deal of care towards the children. My daughter has progressed well in her learning abilities as well as her growing imagination, pretending to be a career teacher (and disciplining!) the children. It is very well organised and always clean.
Have a varied amount of daily activities and a good choice in meals on a weekly basis.

My daughter started this nursery in late September but is already very settled in and enjoys going each day and bonded really well with the staff and the other children. From my perspective the nursery is brilliant. The facilities indoors and outdoors are fantastic and provide a great environment for
fun and learning. Everything is clean and well looked after and the secure location and security provided by the nursery are very good and well above the standard of many nurseries that I have seen. The food provided by the nursery is healthy and very varied, meaning my child is able to try new things and is also eating very well within nursery which is very important to me. The staff are all fantastic from management through to nursery nurses which is great. They give a full breakdown of everything my child has done in her day, things she is learning and eating which as a parent is a great comfort because we are then able to work on the same things with my daughter at home. I cannot recommend Busy Bees highly enough. They are fantastic.

From the moment I viewed Busy Bees I knew it was the right setting for our son. The premises looks amazing with designated areas of learning for each age group. The resources are all new and the outside space is laid out beautifully. Not only is the nursery visually pleasing the staff's warmth, professional
manner and dedicated approach is what makes the nursery. Detailed feedback is given every time I collect my son and as parents we are kept informed via newsletter and have access to our sons learning journey. I am confident that Busy Bees will do the best by us and get our son school ready. To conclude......we love Busy Bees.

I moved my daughter here form another local nursery as I had concerns about falling standards there. I was a little apprehensive about moving a toddler but could not be happier that I did. Facilities are first rate but the real clincher is the real positive attitude all members of staff display. When
the carers are happy it rubs off on the children.
As a parent I also feel valued and managers are always keen to hear feedback on how they are doing. I also use the school holidays club for my 4 year old and the range of activities on offer help to keep her engaged and entertained. She can't wait to go back.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.091)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.091) out of 10 for Busy Bees Oxford Littlemore 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.875 for Busy Bees Oxford Littlemore is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 3.216 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Oxford Littlemore is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 110 number of registered child places is 22. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.091

  • 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.
