We have experience of five nursery settings in the last five years between moving and siblings but this one has been the best. The staff are exceptional and the communication is excellent. It is obvious they care for the children greatly and my little one is learning lots through the play activities they set up. I have had no negative experiences yet since my little one started about a year ago.

ViewOur 17 month old daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees Nursery in Holmes Chapel. From the very first session, the team made her (and us!) feel so welcome, supported, and reassured. The staff are genuinely caring, patient, and it's so clear how passionate they are about what they do. Every day our daughter comes home happy and excited. She is full of confidence and curiosity, we can see the difference this nurturing environment has made over the past 7 months. We really appreciate the lovely balance of fun, learning, and development and how well the staff communicate with us. The updates, photos, and daily feedback make us feel part of her journey when we are not there. We honestly couldn't recommend Busy Bees Holmes Chapel highly enough. It's such a warm, safe, and happy place. Thank you Busy Bees, Holmes Chapel!

ViewWe absolutely love this place. As a first time mum I was nervous leaving my child in the care of someone else. The staff have made this such an easy transition for me and my child. He is so happy here and has come on leaps and bounds since joining. He comes home everyday with a smile on his face. He adores all his carers, as do I.

ViewBusy Bees Holmes Chapel has been a rock of support. Not only for our son, but to me and my wife too. We were warmly welcomed and supported last year as our son started at the Nursery. Every little worry we had was attentively cared for by the staff, which made our onboarding experience very positive. The staff are very talented and work diligently on their relationship with my son. We receive excellent feedback on his development on a formal and ad-hoc basis. We hugely value the posts/updates/photos we consistently receive throughout the day. We value the transparent level of detail that we get, whether it's a positive or a negative update on our son's day. Knowing we have this valuable transparent communication has always given us peace of mind. The big smile I see on my son's face when he's in the nursery is priceless. The Holmes Chapel team should be very proud of the environment they have worked hard to build and the precious formative years they give to the children.
