Busy Bees The University of Salford

My daughter attended this nursery from 10 months old and it’s the best thing I have ever done. The staff are absolutely amazing and I have no reservations dropping my daughter off at nursery every day. The children are very well looked after and cared for.

The nursery itself is very well set out and very professional, but such a lovely fun environment for the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Busy Bees, there is no other nursery that compares to this one and I would highly recommend this nursery to any new mums wishing to place their children in childcare.

My son started nursery at 11 months old and from day one has always been made to feel special and cared for by the ladies at the nursery. The staff all take the time to learn the children’s names, even those they don’t directly supervise. My son has had some wonderful key workers who have always ensured that I am kept informed of his progress, both with the fantastic end of day diaries and at dedicated ‘parents evenings’.
Brilliant food, such a wide variety and always pushing boundaries and exploring new tastes.
Great range of activities and a good mix of structured and free play. Good use of outdoor area whenever weather allows. My son has progressed so well and seems to learn something new everyday!
The staff are incredibly supportive and approachable and have made leaving my son in childcare when I returned to work so much easier.
Cannot praise this nursery highly enough, my son is so happy and content here and has formed special bonds with both staff and the other children.

My children have been at this nursery for three years and they have been so happy here. Every member of staff who has worked with my children (almost all of them over the years) has been so friendly and made our children so comfortable there. I am confident in leaving them both in the care of the staff here as I know they will be well looked after. They give lots of cuddles and have really helped both my children grow in confidence. They have also taught them so much, they come home with new skills almost daily that I know they have learned at nursery.

We will all miss this nursery and the staff there lots. The food there has been very varied and encouraged our children to try new things. There are also sports classes run by an outside instructor for the older children which my little girl loves.

I have found this nursery to be exceptional from day 1 when my eldest child started here almost 2 years ago. My youngest also started recently and the standard of care is as fantastic as it was then. I viewed several nurseries (which I really wasn’t happy with) before finally viewing Busy Bees and felt comfortable as soon as I walked through the doors. I love the security measures in place, the friendly nature of staff members, the food choices, the daily routine and the fact that they don’t expect all children to be the same and encourage each of them to develop their skills based on their specific interests and learning through play. All staff members go over and above to cater for each individual child’s needs and genuinely care for all of the children and form strong bonds with each of them.

This nursery has gone above and beyond to make my child feel welcome and comfortable whilst there. My child’s development has come on leaps and bounds and Busy Bees has facilitated and encouraged this every step of the way, in an individualized manner tailored to the needs of my child.
It is very comforting to see the enjoyment of all of the children and staff at Busy Bees – the environment has always been positive, fun and highly educational. The support they offer at Busy Bees is outstanding, the staff are a credit to the nursery and the manager and admin have also gone above and beyond to help, advise and support me and my family whilst here.
I would recommend this nursery and the facilities they offer all children. All of the staff are very friendly, warm and approachable and the manager is available to speak to you anytime, as well as the admin.
Thank you Busy Bees for all that you have done for my child, who I am confident will take all of these valuable experiences forward in life.

My son has been at this nursery since he was around 7 months old and my daughter has just started. They both had their own little things which with the support from the nursery around adapting to his diet and my daughter is not used to people due to COVID lockdowns have made such a difference. The space the children have outside and with the hall inside is great and the staff are so caring and helpful. I have no worries about leaving the children as I know they are so well looked after, do some great activities, eat healthily and have fun. The new events and parent sessions that have been set up recently are also a really good addition to support the children and us.

My son has been attending Busy Bees for almost 2 years and absolutely loves Nursery. The staff are friendly and caring, the rooms are spacious with outside areas, and the meals are varied and healthy. There is frequent communication from the key workers and management, meaning we know what events are planned and what our child is doing day-to-day (through conversation and the app). My son had several allergies when he started and Busy Bees went above and beyond the ensure that he was catered for and safe, without feeling left out at mealtimes. He has formed a great relationship with his key worker and is always talking about what he and his friends have been doing. During the changing Covid situation we have been kept very well informed and feel that staff are doing everything they can to keep everyone safe. We feel very fortunate that our son goes to Busy Bees and has another couple of years to spend here.

My little boy has settled so well, he loves the nursery and the staff are so good with him. He’s coming along so much with his confidence etc. They have the children outside in the garden a lot as well, which he loves, thank you.
