The nursery and the staff have proven time and time again to have an enormously positive effect on my child. He has grown so much with his abilities, communication and behaviour. Every time there is a break in him being at nursery, he is reluctant to go, however, the staff are gentle with their approach
in taking him into the nursery. He loves nursery so much now he tells me why can’t he stay there. A complete turnaround. I am very overprotective over my son and wouldn’t easily leave him anywhere. The confidence and trust they have given and continue to give is outstanding.

Every single staff member at Busy Bees Warwick is passionate, caring and giving our children a great start. All meals (and dietary requirements) are cooked (and catered for) on-site by the dedicated chef. We chose Busy Bees because we felt at ease as soon as we stepped through the door. The nursery
is purpose-built and everything has been considered. Staff update the parent app with details of food, nappies etc throughout the day as well as photo updates, observations and assessments so you can always see what they are getting up to. It’s two-way and parents are encouraged to upload as well enabling the staff to discuss experiences and life outside nursery with the kids too. There are lots of activities and games in the rooms to stimulate the kids with outdoor play areas in each of the rooms. Our nursery couldn’t be more accommodating and is a credit to the staff that work there. Their management of Covid-19 is professional yet practical and I have every confidence in this being a safe environment.

Warwick Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery - the staff are really very conscientious and they know each child very well. You can tell they are passionate about the care they give and are attentive to our child’s development needs. The purpose-built building itself is also a great asset - with very good
outdoor play areas and lots of variety within the rooms. Our child loves her nursery and at home, often talks about her experiences there and her friends and teachers.

Our whole experience of Busy Bees Warwick has been great. My little boy walks straight in, eats his food, naps well and comes home shattered. We’ve noticed a huge difference in his development since moving up a room and he’s become such a little chatterbox. I would 100% recommend to any parents considering
a nursery.

Our son has been at Busy Bees for 5 months and he already is settled and more importantly, very happy. He loves seeing the girls in the toddler room and gets excited on our walk in the morning. The girls are fantastic and are so welcoming. Every day we receive updates on his day and at each pick-up,
they can tell me the highlights of his day. The team have been excellent with my son who has multiple allergies and are very supportive of this. Would definitely recommend this amazing nursery.

My son has been going to Busy Bees for over a year now, and he loves it there. The staff are so kind and considerate, and really take the time to keep you updated with your child's development and behaviour through observations and photos. I like how they have an app which is updated throughout the
day so you are aware of everything they have eaten/slept etc.
My son is very happy going to Busy Bees Warwick, and we are happy with the level of service and care that they provide to him.

My son has recently returned to the nursery after lockdown and moved directly into the toddler room without first going back to the babies room. Although there were some tears the first week or so, I am so happy with how the staff in the new room has helped him make the transition. I know he was missing
the staff from babies room.
He absolutely loves going to nursery and has become a very happy chatty boy. He loves spending time outside, and the toddler room has a lovely garden with a variety of things to play with. I am a big fan of the variety of food he gets. Admin staff is also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter who is now ten months has been at the nursery since the beginning of February. She absolutely loves it and the team are excellent. In the short time that she has been there, she has made great relationships with the teams, which has made it easier for me returning to work. She has also
come on leaps and bounds with her development.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

We are very pleased with the high standard of care that both of our boys receive whilst attending Busy Bees at Warwick. Staff members welcome them in a kind and friendly manner in the morning, leaving us to feel comfortable to leave them for the day. We get full feedback about their day both verbally
and via the parent app. We enjoy seeing the observations staff members add via the app about activities the boys have accessed during the day. Our boys are settled at Busy Bees and enjoy attending.

My son began attending this nursery in Apr 2019. He has enjoyed the toddlers room, the rising 3's room and he is now very happy and settled in the preschool room. The staff are very professional and caring. The staff are very attentive and have been very accommodating when I have questions or been
concerned about my son's transition to a new room. The parentzone app keeps me updated on his day and the staff have also been great with my son's eczema treatment needs.
I would gladly recommend this nursery.

Really happy since day one, all the amazing staff always ready to support and help. It's a place where I can go off to work and feel secure leaving my child without worrying and know that by the end of the day he will be happy doing amazing activities.

This is our daughter's first nursery and we are very pleased with our choice. Opening hours are long so we have flexibility with pick up/drop off. The on-line log of daily details enables me to know information and is easy to use. Staff are all friendly and my daughter is happy going there 5 days a
week.

We love the nursery and all it's brand new facilities. I really like the way the staff tell me a personal story about how my daughter has been that day. They are all very friendly and my little girl gets really excited about going to nursery. She particularly loves the outdoor play area in the toddler
room.

All the staff and management are really helpful and friendly and genuinely care for all children at there nursery. The facilities for the children are great. When I pick
my daughter up the staff give a good hand over about her day, my daughter always looks like she's had a lovely day when I pick her up.

I moved my two boys after having some concerns with their previous nursery. It was a difficult decision to make as I was worried that being so new it would have teething problems, etc. I was very impressed with both the staff and facility when I looked round, and the boys started in the Toddler and
Pre-School room in April. It was the best decision we ever made! They absolutely love it there! Not only are both boys very happy, they have also come on so much I know that they are being stimulated and well cared for. The staff are friendly, have a wonderful rapport with the boys, and work with us on things like potty training. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff. I would absolutely recommend this nursery 100%.

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.
