A really lovely nursery, my daughter has a great time there. The staff are really caring and supportive and thanks to the communication app we get lots of pictures and descriptions of what she has been up to.
We have been really happy we chose this nursery and would strongly recommend it.

Both of my children have been to Busy Bees at Warwick nursery and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the range of activities and level of care to the quality of food and daily updates via the app, the provision is seamless. Trusting people with the most precious things in your life is something
you can never imagine until you have to do it and I can’t thank these ladies and the chef enough for what they do.

Our experience at this nursery has been phenomenal, the staff here are awesome and go above and beyond their duty. Our first child went to another nursery in Warwick and our experience was not great. Our second child has come to Busy Bees at Warwick and we have not looked back since. From the first
visit to the gifts and cleanliness of the site it is home from home for our child. I am greatly appreciative of the staff and how they communicate to us, not only via phone but actually digitally. Thank you to the Busy Bees at Warwick team for being so great, more so during this pandemic, your organisation of the site has been amazing.

Busy Bees at Warwick is a great nursery, our child is very happy and thriving here. I find that the communication at this nursery is brilliant. All staff are aware of our child's needs when its been communicated by us. All staff are very friendly, welcoming and you feel at ease leaving your child in
their care. The app is regularly updated and it is a great insight into your child's day.

Busy Bees at Warwick saved our son - had we not sent him here his last nursery and social services combined would have shoe-horned him straight into some sort of special needs bucket to meet their quotas (or whatever it is that sits behind their intentions). When he started Busy Bees the boy did his
best to show how 'special' he was on day one by pulling his pants down at reception - his carer just said 'leave him to me'. One week later they confirmed what we believed - nothing wrong with him, he's further ahead than people realise etc. His key workers turned him from odd participant to switched on contributor, all they had to do was give him 'the look' and he could act like he was normal - relief! They followed out the role Busy Bees focuses on - preparation for school, and as a result, he is now thriving in his first school year.
All of the team at this nursery are fantastic, attentive and not to mention carry a great sense of humour. Best value for money your child can get.

My little boy started attending Busy Bees nursery in September last year when he was one year old.
All staff has been very attentive, supportive and caring and helped him to settle in well.
The nursery accommodates his dietary requirements very well. He loves all his food and is offered a good variety
despite his multiple allergies.
I appreciate the daily updates via the app including lovely pictures. Helps when I am away from him at work and miss him.
The staff is excellent for developing creativity by doing a lot of crafts from a very young age. My son loves going to nursery which gives me peace of mind.
The building is spacious, modern and very clean.

It’s an amazing nursery, it took our little boy a while to settle as he only does one day a week currently, his key worker has been fantastic with him and going out of her way to comfort him. The manager and ladies in the office were wonderful when I was calling regularly to see if he was ok. Nothing
is ever too much trouble.
He absolutely loves going now and cannot wait to go in, this morning he was even shouting his key worker's name in his excitement to go.
They have so many resources, the garden in the Toddler Room is lovely, they’ve taught him to ride a bike. He knows so many nursery rhymes now and loves doing the actions and singing them at home.
The care and precautions they have taken during the pandemic have been exceptional and I have no fears about him attending nursery at the moment. I feel they’ve made it safe.
I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Our two daughters were fairly settled into the nursery prior to the pandemic but like everyone this past year all was disrupted and took us a couple of extra months off as we had another new arrival in the house. All the staff were so accommodating and really helped both the girls transition back into
the nursery with absolutely no problems.
The girls certainly enjoy their time at the nursery as it’s evident from pictures and regular updates on the app that there are plenty of varied activities each time they attend.
As a parent of two girls in different age groups it’s been a joy to see the girls develop and certainly flourish during their time at Busy Bees! Thank you to the full team at Warwick - I’m sure that during the past year things haven’t been easy for you all but you have all gone above and beyond to make us parents and our children make it look so effortless! Thank you all.

My daughter has been attending the Busy Bees Nursery in Warwick since October 2020 and she seems to really like it there. She does not cry in the morning when we take her and she seems to be very comfortable and happy with the staff there. The staff are also very good and very helpful. Considering the
current pandemic, they have been helpful and accommodating. The use of the Parent Zone App is very useful and is used effectively by the staff to keep track of what is going on during the day. The observations are very detailed so we can understand well the development of our daughter. At the end of the day, they take the time to tell us about the day, how she slept and how she ate. We are extremely happy that our daughter is attending Busy Bees in Warwick and I believe it to be the best for her. We are very happy with the service and the professionalism of all the staff there and I would recommend this nursery 100%.

Our 20-month-old son loves coming to nursery and this is down to the great relationships the staff have built with him. We feel he has come on in leaps and bounds since starting last September. He is well cared for and looked after and we find the face to face communication and via the nursery app very
thorough - we love hearing about the experiences he's been having. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends and we are always grateful for the support that the friendly, approachable staff provide.

The staff go above and beyond to give the best care to my children. Within a few months, my son's speech went from a few words to full conversation. He used to be a fussy eater now he eats almost everything I give him. This again is all down to the staff at Busy Bees. He's also so much more sociable
and has made lots of friends. The 2nd and 3rd covid lockdown hasn't effected my children as much as other kids because the nursery has taken such good precautions and are allowed to stay open. I'm very lucky to have chosen this nursery as it's made my boys time there a happy and normal time for them. My youngest son has been there for 4 months now and again he's come on in leaps and bounds and loves his time there. They bring home pictures and there are photos and write-ups on how their day has been. Busy Bees supplies them with healthy nutritious meals too. I never have to worry about them when they're in nursery, as I know they're in the best hands possible. I highly recommend Busy Bees, they're wonderful.

Our 2-year-old daughter has been going to Busy Bees for over a year now, and we've been really pleased with the nursery. In both the baby and toddler rooms she clearly developed positively in ways I'm not sure she would have just at home, and for sure she was able to experience a lot more activities
than we would have been able to offer. The staff are all very helpful and in-tune, and we're so pleased to have found a place where the staff really seem to know her and understand how to help her along. They have been able to pick up when she's not quite right or when she has a particularly good day which is very reassuring.

Having to spend time away from my little girl when I returned to work was really hard, but Busy Bees Warwick have actually made it a wonderfully positive experience. They are fantastic with the kids and my daughter does so many different things every day. She loves going and would go 7 days a week if
she could. They have great facilities there and a wide range of things to challenge and teach my daughter. Her development has really come on quickly since being there. The staff are like family for her, which is really comforting to know she's with someone she trusts and who really cares if she's not feeling well or has hurt herself. I always feel really informed about what's going on, and always able to pick up the phone or chat with the staff. The food is also amazing! My daughter eats everything and I'm sure is wondering why she has to eat lower standard food when she's at home. It's always freshly cooked, a huge variety of things and the menu regularly changes. They're fantastic!

Busy Bees at Warwick is like a second family for my daughter and why not for us too. The staff is amazing, taking very good care of my daughter and helping her at all times with things we couldn't manage at home sometimes (like eating alone with a fork and knife). She has been very well integrated and
she is always happy to go to the nursery. Communication has always been great, we are always informed about everything that's happened in a day, what new things our daughter did. The main carer of the child keeps a good connection with us, always knows about things happening with the child outside nursery life too. Management is also very good. They have plenty of activities, incredible ones I would say. I would totally recommend this nursery.

I am so grateful for the nursery and staff to continue working as well in the current climate, keeping up high standards of care, varied activities to support my daughter's development whilst ensuring the nursery is a safe and clean environment for the children.

My little one started in Busy Bees in September after almost a year mainly at home with me and his siblings. I was understandably nervous about this as his first interactions with his peers were going to be without me and having no local family, I had rarely left him with anyone for more than an hour
and as things stand I couldn't help settle him in as I normally would. In no time I was totally reassured. He is the only one of my 4 children who has never cried at drop off and is happy to come and go. The staff have been so accommodating of all my requests - to use cloth nappies and pick him up at a time that works for us in terms of naps but probably isn't ideal for them. They have worked really hard to accommodate all his dietary needs and I genuinely have full confidence that he is safe, happy and appreciated. I couldn't ask for anymore. I have been amazed at his development since he's been there.

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.
