I have two little ones at busy bees Prestbury, with the eldest being there for 2 1/2 years. They both absolutely love nursery and their development has certainly benefited from being there. We’ve had a few emotional issues with our eldest along the way and the nursery staff have been supportive and collaborative in finding the causes and coming up with coping strategies

ViewOur daughter has attended the nursery since she was 9 months old and we're happy with how she's developing there. She's always excited to go into nursery in the morning and see the staff. Positives: - really lovely staff who genuinely care about her well-being and enjoyment - generally, a good variety of foods to keep her trying new things - lots of playtime in the garden - staff are responsive to parental requests for support, e.g. role-playing something at nursery that the child may be struggling with at home. - excellent daily summary via the app, plus an in-person handover at pick-up. Could be better: - indoor space is used well but is relatively small therefore there are very few gross-motor physical development toys e.g steps, ramps, tunnels - some of the children's rooms have to be used as transit to other rooms, therefore you have parents of other age groups walking through the room, including during nap time.

ViewThis is a lovely nursery with dedicated staff who are welcoming and friendly. I like that it's not too big, feels like the staff all get to know the parents and children very well. My daughter has been coming for 2 years, she loves her teachers and has made some great little friends too. The key staff in the rooms work very hard to make the environments fun and engaging, they take great care of the kids, and get to know their individual personalities. My daughter is now in the pre-school room, getting ready for school in September!! The staff are providing a great nurturing mix of early learning education along with all sorts of activities including role play, good old messy play and running about in the garden, weather permitting! The cooks are firm favourites too and she loves almost all the food, I'm often envious myself! The parent app is also handy with regular updates on meal times, learning snapshots & photo's of activities. I'm so happy with the whole experience.
