Nursery in Belper, Alton Manor

Really friendly, helpful staff and always accommodating!

My 11-month-old daughter attends the centre and I have had such a positive experience. When she first started they made me feel very welcomed and at ease. The settling-in sessions really helped and allowed me to get to know the team and understand what my daughter's day would be like whilst at nursery. The team are lovely and shows great care towards both my daughter and myself. They hand over what she has been up to during the day and send photos over on the app. If I have any questions then the management team have both been extremely helpful and answered any questions that I have had. I am very happy with my nursery choice and would definitely recommend!

Our son has been going to Busy Bees Alton Manor, Belper since he was 11 months old (he is now almost 4). During that time he has always been happy, safe and appropriately stimulated. It has been wonderful to see him develop into the boy that he is and Busy Bees has definitely contributed positively to this. The staff are friendly and approachable and really know the children and families. We have never not been greeted with a smile at the start of the day and our son runs into nursery every time looking forward to the day ahead. The environment is clean and well-resourced. Meals are varied and our son always eats them. Communication is clear and if there has ever been an issue or query, it has been dealt with effectively. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My son started Busy Bees at 12 months old and has been in three of the four rooms so far. In each room, the staff have been so supportive and friendly. They answer any questions and provide feedback about what my son has done during the day. My son can be a bit hesitant at drop off but the staff always give him a warm welcome and help him start his day. Busy Bees offers a great variety of healthy foods and has helped my son become more adventurous with what he eats. The free-flow outdoor play in the older rooms is great.

Lovely nursery. I could write a review for every month. They genuinely care about my child's welfare. Encourage and support him to explore his boundaries safely whilst allowing him to learn and develop.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees. Our youngest daughter still does. We are always greeted with a warm and welcoming face from all members of the team throughout the nursery. The staff say hello to the children and are very interactive with them from the very start of the day. We collect our child at different times of the day and the same enthusiasm and care is clear to see even at the end of a long day. Our daughter will soon be leaving to go to primary school and we are so sad to be saying goodbye. We are forever grateful for the care and support the centre has given to our two children and we know that having such an excellent, warm, welcoming and educational foundation for our children as Busy Bees Alton Manor has shown to us as a family will echo throughout our children's lives. We can't thank them all enough.

Staff are extremely passionate, listen to the small details and treat each child as their own individual. Wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else. I love seeing my daughter progress and become more confident. This nursery is great.

My daughter has always been really happy and looks confident and comfortable at Busy Bees. All the staff seem genuinely really kind and caring and as a Mum, it is fantastic being able to go to work knowing my child is so happy.

The staff are fantastic, every day it feels like your child is the only child they have cared for that day. The attention to detail is fantastic. They always have a welcoming smile and time to talk to you about your child's progress and what kind of a day they have had. My child has learnt so much from their time here coming home with pictures, singing songs, dancing and learning lots of new fun and important development skills. I highly recommend Busy Bees at Alton Manor to anyone looking for a nursery for their child. Thank you guys for everything.
