Very good and friendly staff. The staff is highly experienced and provides good feedback. Basically feel at peace that my child is in safe hands. Children participate in lots of activities and you get real-time updates.

My little girl only started in January, but she absolutely loves all the staff. She gets so excited when we pull up in the car. She has come on so much in just a short space of time. The staff are all amazing, really friendly and approachable. Nothing is ever too much for them.

Honestly the best place I could of imagined sending my little man.
They helped us settle so easy from day one, he loves going to nursery.
I couldn't ask for anymore all the staff are great and his key worker is amazing, and always happy to catch us up and chat about him and it is easy to see how much
he loves being in here with her and the others and he is improving on so many levels every day. We also love that his previous key worker also checks in with us when ever we see her. They are all a great team.

Best nursery yet! The staff are amazing with the children. Had good experiences since my son started. His communication skills have improved significantly, though we are still working on it. Neat and conducive environment too.

The staff are super friendly and lovely, they are fantastic with the children, the nursery caters for all children's needs and allergies, my child felt so safe with the staff as he can be fussy when meeting new people but clicked with them instantly which made me feel so at ease. This nursery is brilliant
and would highly recommend any parent to send their child to this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees since she was 10 months old (she is 3.5 years old) now and we have been extremely happy with everyone here. The girls are excellent and everyone goes above and beyond to make sure the children are looked after in every way.
We were even given the added option
of halal meals (a special dietary requirement) which we really appreciate.
I can not fault the staff here will definitely be sending my other child to Busy Bees Arrowe Park.

My little girl started going here January this year and she was only 8 months old and I was nervous to take her into nursery that young however all the staff reassured me and have been so kind and caring. My little girl absolutely loves the staff in babies and toddlers and always has a smile going in
each morning! All the staff are brilliant here and I would highly recommend this nursery, we always receive a warm welcome from everyone and the atmosphere is lovely.

My son started Busy Bees as a baby and has just had his graduation, my experience of the nursery has been brilliant and my son has made special bonds with the staff. They have made his transition into each group, each year very easy. They update you on the app every day about what they have been up
to and had to eat which is good and always update the performance indicators. I would like to give special thanks to a member of staff, in particular, as my son got on really well with her and made his journey that bit more special. I could go on and mention all the staff but they have all had an impact in some sort of way on my child's time and growth through the years and have prepared him well for his next step in life, so thank you all for the amazing job you do and have done with my boy, he is going to miss you all so much.

Both of our children attend Busy Bees, Arrowe Park and honestly the team there have become an extension of our family. From the moment we stepped foot in the setting in May 2020 and were shown around by the incredible now Centre Director, we knew it was the right place for us. I've never known a manager
to be so at the heart of every family, every room and every child. It's so clear that she shares her energy, knowledge and passion for child development with her team and it shines through them all. The nursery itself is beautiful. It's clean and modern with incredible resources and beautiful displays. It's such a child-led, child-focused space. Our children have always been cared for by the most amazing teams of staff who are so invested in bringing out the best in children and forming the most beautiful bonds with them. How lucky are we to have you all in our children's most special early years, thank you for all your love and for helping our children to grow and shine.

My niece has been going to the nursery in bumbles room for nearly 1 year now. She has come on leaps and bounds from coming in upset to just walking in with a smile waving bye. She has a very good relationship with all the staff in the room and around the building. We are always greeted with smiles and
comes home with a different picture after every session. This nursery is very flexible.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for a few years now, she has come on so much. It's a fantastic nursery, staff and management are amazing and always help if I need anything, two staff members in particular. The app is always up to date, so I can see what she's doing in the day. She has made
lots of friends and the staff go out their way to make sure she's had a great day. One staff member in preschool is lovely and a great key worker for my child.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Busy Bees Arrowe Park 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 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 4.951 for Busy Bees Arrowe Park is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 4.81 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Arrowe Park is based on 17 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 105 number of registered child places is 21. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.81

  • 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.
