Why choose Busy Bees in Altrincham: -
Busy Bees Nursery in Altrincham is a converted Victorian building with a recreational children's play area to the rear. It's perfectly located just a 2 minute walk from both the town centre and the metro link/bus station.
We have a dedicated team of staff who give each child quality care and make sure each child’s individual needs are met through planned activities, observations, development summaries and progress overviews through using the EYFS. We have the management team which consists of me, Tina the deputy, Joanne who’s the administrator, and Kelly and Andrea who are Base room managers. We also have senior nursery nurses in each room, nursery nurses and nursery assistants.
We have 5 separate rooms, Babies which are 3 months to 16 months, Bright butterflies which are 16-20 months, Wiggly worms which are 2-3 years, Busy Bees which are 3-4 years and rising 5’s which are 4-5 years. We also have a great indoor jungle room for children of all ages to explore especially for those wet weather days when we can’t get them outside. In the rooms we have different areas for the children to experience and explore in, we have a construction area where we have things to construct e.g. Duplo, stickle bricks, Inter-stars and wooden blocks.
We also have a Small world play area which has cars, people, different animals (jungle, Farm, Sea life, Dinosaurs), We have sand and water areas, and creative where we do all paintings sticking, Mark making. We have the Malleable area where we do all the Gloop, play dough and the role play area which has the kitchen set in with dressing up, and the cosy area which has books and puppets in. All the areas are easily accessible for the children to experience independently.
Why not come and see the experience for yourself and book a viewing.
