About our Nursery

Busy Bees nursery is a large purpose built facility in the grounds of the University of Salford, featuring eight large playrooms, leading from a large central play area.

Children are grouped according to their age and developmental stage, ensuring their individual needs are met. Each room has its own secure outdoor play area with soft-fall surfaces and grassed areas.

There is a wide variety of outdoor play equipment and toys such as bikes, scooters and climbing frames. The children use the outdoor garden areas every day, getting lots of fresh air and exercise.

The nursery has a team of dedicated and caring staff who provide the children with a welcoming and friendly environment, ensuring that they feel safe, secure and confident.

The nursery has a full time cook who provides fresh, nutritious, home cooked meals and snacks every day, and a team of domestic staff.
