Warwick Busy Bees is a wonderful nursery, and we are extremely pleased by the great service. My daughter is super happy after nearly a year in the nursery, and she had a smooth transition to the toddler room, where all personnel is amazing (as it was in the baby room). A special thank you to her key
persons for having developed a special bond with her!

Our child has been attending Busy Bees since January 2023. He has been welcomed with love, care and kindness. Our baby boy is very happy and learns a lot during his time at nursery. He comes home and surprises us with his new skills. I am very happy for choosing Busy Bees.
I recommend Busy Bees to
all my friends as it is a great place for little ones to start discovering the world.

We are delighted with the care our daughter receives at Busy Bees. Staff are warm, friendly and committed to giving all the children an excellent education.
The environment is bright, stimulating and promotes creativity. The next steps in learning are carefully planned for and all of this is communicated
clearly to parents through the app. I love receiving photos of all the exciting activities my little girl is up to.
Meals are healthy and nutritious and cooked by an onsite chef. Busy Bees really have thought of everything! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

A fantastic beginning to our daughter's time at the nursery. Moving house and nursery was a big change for her and the staff have been great at helping her (and us) settle in. The use of the app and the updates of plans for the day are fantastic; it’s lovely to see what she will be up to that day. Thank
you!

Our daughter has settled in very well at Busy Bees Warwick. She enjoys going each day with a smile and sometimes is having such a good time she doesn’t want to go home!
The staff work hard to do exciting activities and she loves the outdoor space in the toddler room.

My child has attended Busy Bees for almost two years so far. The nursery is fantastic. The centre director and assistant centre director and all of the staff, work so hard to make the nursery a special and welcoming place for the children and it really shows. My daughter has thrived with them and dropping
her off feels like a home from home. There is great nursery management. Everyone is always so friendly, communication is really good and I would have no hesitation in ever raising any concerns. The facilities and resources are excellent. The bond my child has built with the staff is a testament to their hard work and dedication to the children (and parents!). I highly recommend Busy Bees, Warwick.

Excellent nursery with hard working, kind and caring staff. They helped our child integrate well and develop learning and play skills. Have always been good with our child's allergies and issues surrounding potty training and staff give good handovers at the end of the day, always. Would wholly recommend
to others.

This is a fantastic nursery.
The staff are brilliant and engage with the children very well.
We receive regular updates through the app regarding meals, nappies, sleep and also what activities they have planned for each day.
The management and room leaders are very knowledgeable and polite.
Both
my children have been/are at this nursery and both really enjoy going. If they have ever been upset the staff know exactly what to do to put smiles back on their faces.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

The staff at this nursery are incredible. They always go above and beyond and take a genuine interest in not only our son but also us as parents and our family. Our son really enjoys coming here and has developed strong bonds with the staff and children. His confidence and social skills are thriving
and I genuinely believe that attending this setting has had a huge impact on this. The facilities are brilliant and the wide variety of food offered is great. I would really recommend this nursery and cannot thank the staff enough for their tireless work and enthusiasm.

We are very happy with the nursery because of the staff. All of them are truly passionate about the children and the job they are doing with them. Our child is happy to go every day to the nursery and this is the best reward and demonstration of appreciation every teacher may have. We have a second
child and we asked to be enrolled again here at Warwick Busy Bees. Thanks a lot to all of them from the baby room to preschool, not forgetting the management team.

We have been extremely happy with the care provided to our son. He started at 1 year old and the staff in the baby room have been wonderful. We feel they have really got to know him and support him developmentally. He has a real connection with all the staff. It is a really happy place with dedicated

My child has been attending Busy Bees since 2018 and I cannot fault the care and support the manager and her amazing team have provided from day one. Even throughout the pandemic, as soon as they were allowed to re-open, they did their very best to ensure some level of normality for the children. The
facilities and resources available to the children are excellent, but what sets this nursery apart is the staff and the bonds my child has established with them, they really are an awesome bunch. I would highly recommend Busy Bees, Warwick. It may not be the cheapest nursery in the area, but you get what you pay for and paying that little bit extra for peace of mind is worth it.

We now have both of our children attending Busy Bees, and we, and our children, couldn’t be happier.
The staff all know both the names of my children, even those not in their groups, they know that they are brother and sister, they know we live locally, the effort the staff team take in really getting
to know each child individually is incredible and helps create such a family sense of community.
The food that Busy Bees supply is such a healthy, varied diet, and we have discovered that both our children eat things at nursery, which they point blank refuse to do at home!
The manner in which the staff respond to parents, again, creates such a sense of community and friendship. Even though they must be rushed off their feet, they are always happy to pause and chat, or answer questions, or reassure. Brilliant staff!
No complaints whatsoever!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.399)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.399) out of 10 for Busy Bees Warwick 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 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 4.790 for Busy Bees Warwick is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.79

  • 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 4.609 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Warwick is based on 14 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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.609

  • 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.
