Review from Pippa S (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have been very happy with the care my son has received at Alton Manor, particularly the transition into the next room - Crocs. There have been lots of changes at the nursery, but the staff in the rooms have always remained friendly and my little bot loves them all.

Overall Experience

I have used this nursery since my daughter was born in 2005. When she used to attend we had no issues but since my son has been coming, I have seen a very large change in how the nursery is run etc. The manager has changed approx. 5 times in the short time he has been coming (since 2014) and a lot of staff which were there since my daughter was there have left. I do feel like it has gone down hill quite a lot in the past few years.

Overall Experience

We're really pleased with the care our little girl gets from the baby room upstairs. She loves her key worker and always seems to enjoy herself. The only downside is when she is off work!

Review from Rebekah J (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Staff are very attentive and make an effort to get to know the children outside of just their nursery environment. Arrival at nursery could be improved as it can be chaotic in the mornings and sometimes feels that staff are not aware of which children are present. The staff encourage the children to play in a varied fashion. They also encourage the children to try lots of different food. Overall staff are excellent but some procedures could be improved.

I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my daughter. She has settled in so well and loves all of her teachers. I always feel confident in leaving my child in the nursery care. First class nursery.

Overall Experience

The overall feel is very warm and friendly. It is well equipped to keep little ones entertained. They have accommodated my daughter's intolerances so I don't worry about mealtimes. She comes home very happy and the feedback each week from staff is very informative. Would highly recommend.

Review from Brian C (Father of Child) published on 22 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My 2-year-old started nursery at the beginning of January and settled in very well due to the way the staff were with her. They were very supportive. They keep us informed of her progress on a daily basis, this makes us secure in the knowledge that our little girl is in safe hands. She comes home excited about her day and it is so nice to see.

Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery this year and settled in straight away without any problems. She (and me!) were made very welcome and Treetops Alton Manor has a lovely warm and friendly environment. The staff are extremely helpful and my daughter loves going to nursery. She always smiles when we arrive and is happy at the end of the day! It is a big relief for me that she enjoys it so much.

Overall Experience

My little boy started Treetops Alton Manor Day Nursery (Belper) when he was 9-months-ols and he loved every minute. His key workers are incredibly kind and caring and always share the fun and exciting things that my son does every day. My son is now 22 months old and enjoys coming to nursery every day. He smiles going in every morning and always has lots to say.

Overall Experience

I have only been into the nursery a few times to collect my child and the feeling I get from the environment and the staff is warm and welcoming! They go over and beyond to look after my child and it was an easy choice to make choosing this nursery! My child comes home happy and talks about the staff, their friends and what exciting things they have been doing!

Catherine Whittaker Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2019
Catherine Whittaker
Hello, my name is Catherine, and I am the Centre Director here at Belper Alton Manor.
I joined the Busy Bees Alton Manor family in 2019 where I started as our Senior Room Manager and have worked my way up through our Assistant Centre Director role, to now Centre Director. I have previous professional experience within the Early Years Sector, and I hold my BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies with Practitioner Status from the University of Derby.
Since joining the fantastic Alton Manor team, we have proudly achieved Team of the Year, Health and Safety Champion award and I was amazingly chosen as one of five delegates from Busy Bees UK to travel to Canada to work alongside educators and explore their educational frameworks. This experience was truly outstanding and one I will carry with me for a very long time.
I have a strong passion for delivering quality environments, education and care for all our lovely families and children to be able to access the best possible start in life.

The team at Alton Manor and myself welcome you to the centre and can’t wait to see you all very soon!
