December 1, 2016 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Busy Bees since he was eight months old. As you can imagine I was very worried to leave him as a first-time mum, but I was soon reassured by the staff, who soon learnt his routine and kept me updated with what he had been doing after every session, including photographs which were always lovely to see. He is now three and has made lots of friends and I couldn’t be happier with my choice of nursery. Each key worker he has had has been lovely and they have spent time getting to know what he enjoys doing and involving him in activities. All the staff are friendly and the manager always greets him every morning and says goodbye on our way out, which is always nice
The food he has is varied, all home cooked and he always eats everything he is given!
I would highly recommend Busy Bees and look forward to seeing what new activities he will be doing next year and can’t thank the staff enough, knowing he is enjoying himself whilst I can’t be with him

December 6, 2016 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, my children are very happy there, lovely staff that really care about the children. I feel comfortable going to work knowing they are in great hands. Both children are learning constantly at the nursery and attending has helped their development and supported in making them both sociable children. There are times in the past where staffing levels have seemed low, this seems to have improved recently.

January 25, 2017 at 12:00 amThe staff at Busy Bees are excellent. I feel that they really care about the welfare and happiness of my daughter and are never too busy to share funny stories that have happened during the nursery day.
They encourage in all areas of eating and play and I feel that if I cannot look after my daughter due to work commitments, they are a very close second best.

February 9, 2017 at 12:00 amThe staff have made our experience very welcoming. Starting nursery with your first child when that child is a baby and you don’t necessarily feel ready to juggle work and life with a little one, the staff at Busy Bees have been perceptive of how hard and challenging and emotional that can be. Flexible, kind and considerate. I sincerely hope that forms, admin and policies do not get in the way of that valuable face to face contact with parents.

February 9, 2017 at 12:00 amI have always been delighted with the care, support and education that my daughter receives at Busy Bees at Holmes Chapel. It is clear that staff work hard at building very strong relationships with the children, ensuring that children feel safe and happy. When any problems occur, I have always been able to approach staff who have dealt with anything quickly and thoroughly. Communication is excellent- via flyers and noticeboards as well as electronically. In particular, the drop-off and pick-up communication is very good- key workers give us a lot of time, even when they are clearly busy. My daughter is very happy here because she is safe, listened to, well fed (!) and takes part in a variety of activities which are perfectly targeted to her age group and interests. I have recommended Busy Bees at Holmes Chapel to friends and have just enrolled my baby.

August 16, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has now attended the nursery for 2 years. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they build great relationships with the children, there are no issues what so ever. At the handover, in the morning, she just goes off and starts playing or sits down for her breakfast.
To start off with she was a very picky eater, but now eats anything that you give her. I think that this has been helped by the freshly cooked food that she has at the nursery.
The nursery has recently had a makeover and looks excellent. The facilities in the rooms couldn’t be better, there is a great mixture of toys and educational equipment. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with her vocabulary and counting, and has gained a lot of confidence!!
She also loves to play out in the large garden, that is very safe and secure.

November 14, 2018 at 12:00 amMy nine-month-old son has only recently started nursery whilst I have gone back to work full time. I have been really impressed by the professionalism of the nursery and staff, they seem to take my son’s well-being very seriously and I feel they treat him with respect, silly as that may sound!
The variety of activities and the food on offer is really impressive and I think he really enjoys his time there.
Overall, my husband and I are very happy.

May 2, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has settled into the baby room really well.
The staff are absolutely fantastic with him and we have noticed that he has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. He can’t wait to get there in the morning.

December 24, 2020 at 12:00 amAll the staff at Busy Bees Holmes Chapel have been so attentive and supportive following our daughter’s return after the end of lockdown. They have gone over and above to help the children and parents adapt to the new normal. Professional, friendly and conscientious, we are so grateful for the happy learning environment they provide. Our daughter is thriving and developing well in readiness for starting school next year. The new outdoor play area has been a real hit with the children and it’s great they can enjoy gardening activities too. A first-rate centre.

March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amSo far our experience with Busy Bees is amazing. As parents, we always feel comfortable on the days we drop off at nursery that our boy is being looked after well. We love the fact we get updates throughout the day on our app and hear all about how our child is developing skills and learning new things. Would highly recommend.

March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amBusy Bees is a famous nursery od a high standard. Both of our children have formed strong bonds with the staff and peers. They have thrived in this environment. We have been very happy with the care and support given. Staff have had to work during a really difficult time and we are so appreciative of the continued effort and dedication they put into their work.

March 25, 2021 at 12:00 amAs a parent, I was anxious as any parents would be, especially as he had no interaction with other children due to lockdown. The team at Busy Bees have been amazing, and have helped my son develop his skills, communication and overall his social interaction with other children, including adults. His confidence has received a boost, and now he is not shy and able to express himself. The team are helpful and take great care of each individual child, especially when it comes to development, and take comments on board to help support. So happy that my son has them to guide, support and nurture.

January 27, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely, friendly staff and my daughter loves attending the nursery. Have been with the nursery for over five years now with both my children and have always been very pleased with them. My only suggestion would be, since Covid, there is a lot less feedback with how the child is doing/development etc. Pre Covid, we used to be asked in for little sessions to discuss how our child is getting on, but since Covid, this has not happened. I realise they would let us know if they had any concerns, but it was quite nice to discuss with the key worker.

February 22, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have been with Busy Bees Holmes Chapel for over two years now and have always been really pleased with the staff, the care and development of our son. He loves attending every day and that is a testament to the staff. Feedback is always provided through an App which helps keep us informed. The staff know our son and he has a strong attachment to all the staff in his room.

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little one was very clingy starting nursery but the staff are lovely and have done everything possible to help her settle in. The nursery has also gone above and beyond by providing staff with additional training for our little one’s health condition.

April 8, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a first time mum I was incredibly nervous about taking my son to nursery but Busy Bees Holmes Chapel immediately put me at ease from our first visit. The team are so lovely, friendly and communicates everything really well – I know my little one is extremely well cared for and he now has a smile on his face when we arrive at nursery in the morning. I love the app, we always look forward to seeing what he’s been up to and the team are great at updating it regularly throughout the day. The nursery is always clean and warm and I feel comfortable knowing he is in safe hands.
