Review from I F (Father of Child) published on 14 February 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My little boy has been at Busy Bees Derby Silvertrees since he was 5 months old. He has grown and developed so much over the years and is such a sociable little boy. The team are amazing and they all take time to speak to not only my little boy but me too!

I would recommend Silvertrees.

Review from Elisha B (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Two of my children have been cared for at Silvertrees Busy Bees, one from the age of 3 until they started school and my youngest who is still there has been going since he was 6 months old. The care the team provide is second to none, it feels homely and the staff look after the children as if they were their own. I am regularly updated on progress and on the wide range of daily activities my children do and I never have to worry about them because I know they are happy and safe. My children came on leaps and bounds throughout their time here and in addition to ‘curriculum-based’ learning staff, I've found the staff are always happy to go above and beyond to help work on anything which we are also working on at home. Most importantly my child absolutely loves going to nursery both my children love the staff, and my eldest still says he wishes he was still there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation.

Review from Alexandra R (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has consistently grown ever since being at Busy Bees. From her physical abilities to her social skills and most importantly her intellectual skills, especially her language, as I had my concerns she would never speak properly, but all of the staff have worked extra hard and the improvement within the last 6 months alone is amazing.
All of the staff are really good at the job and care for each individual child and each of their needs.
I especially want to thank the manager and the deputy manager for their hard work as they always go that extra mile for the children, parents and their staff, without them I personally don't believe the nursery would run as well as it currently is and many other parents share the same views as me as it's constantly mentioned within the playground when collecting/dropping off children.

If I decide to ever have another child I will definitely be returning them to this nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter absolutely loves it here! She has been attending since she was 10 months and is now 3. Her confidence and independence have come on leaps and bounds. She is learning something new every day and I know she will absolutely be ready for school when the time comes. You can really feel the love the staff feel for the children, they have such amazing personal relationships it's a great feeling not having to worry about her when we are at work. So glad we chose this nursery!

Review from Baiba M (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I love this nursery! Especially the staff. Every staff member has a relationship with my child. I mean a personal relationship and they have a personal approach to my child. This is not just a place where my child goes to be there, this is the place she has a lot of fun and joy. The atmosphere here is so good that you don't feel like you're taking your child to a place of business.

Overall Experience

This nursery has met my high standards. My little girl is thriving and is very happy when she goes into and comes out of the nursery. The staff work so hard and communicate really well with us. They also worked hard with my little one settling in as she struggled but they reassured me so much and she is so happy. Can’t thank the staff enough, she’s come on leap and bounds.

The care and attention of my daughter are second to none. Nothing is too much for the staff at Silvertrees. Any requests such as a food diary are undertaken with the utmost importance and professionalism. My daughter loves being at nursery and we feel that she is extremely well looked after and cared for.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 24 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The environment is very friendly and welcoming the staff are very attentive and over the last 18 months the care has never been faulted throughout the pandemic
The team are very supportive of each individual child’s needs and development and is very encouraging to incorporate home routine into the nursery.
The transition from 1 room to another is seem-less in our experience.

I’d only suggest that now we are coming out of the pandemic more is shared regarding day to day activities, development milestones, what we need to focus on more. We get these reviews quarterly but I’d appreciate more monthly maybe - however don’t want the focus of paperwork to get over the care of my child though!!

Review from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to Busy Bees at Derby Silvertrees and this stems from such a positive transition at the beginning. The process is well thought out and it left us feeling really confident at starting our daughter at six months old. The management are so welcoming and have been so helpful with any enquiries. The staff have always provided a caring, reassuring environment and they have created a great bond with my daughter and always made the effort to build a relationship with us as well. The use of the app has been a great way to know how she is doing day to day and also with her development. It has helped us to regularly see what her next steps are and therefore work alongside nursery with these. It has also enabled us to keep the contact which could have been hard to achieve during Covid-19. My daughter is very settled, happy and her transition into the next room has worked really well due to the hard work of the staff, where each child is at the centre of their decisions.

Excellent nursery, my little boy loves going. He especially enjoys all the painting and messy play gets to do. He has a great connection with the staff there and they even helped us set a routine for him.

Truly wonderful and loving staff who know how to have fun with the children while also helping them develop. Great mix of activities from crafts to reading to outdoor time and at pick up time you can often locate your child by following their laughter.

My son has attended Treetops Silvertrees for the last three and a half years from a baby to a pre-school child. The staff have helped and supported him in every step of the way. He is currently in pre-school and loves the range of activities especially the science experiments.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Treetops Silvertrees for one year now and both I and my husband are so pleased we chose this nursery.
All of the staff have gotten to know our child and us as parents and made us feel welcome.

The staff support our child and we have been impressed at how she has grown and developed in this time. Our daughter is now more confident and her social skills and interaction with others has improved significantly. We cannot thank the staff enough they are all friendly, supportive and are amazing with the children. On arriving at nursery my daughter runs to the staff she loves going there.

We have tried other nurseries but Silvertrees nursery is very good overall. My child is learning a lot. She eats very well here and starting to speak. She is confident and is playing independently now.

We are glad with her care and growth at nursery.

My son has settled I with the caring staff and will always care for his needs and stick to his routine.

My son enjoys the activities provided. Since he started nursery, it has helped him develop confidently and is getting him ready to transfer to his new room which I am looking forward too.

The team are always really helpful and it's always a good sign when your child runs into nursery and looks forward to going most mornings. Great activities, equipment and meals available. Also great to see suggestions being acknowledged and that key carers have a genuine interest in children's development.

Review from Rachel B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot praise the staff and environment at this nursery highly enough. My son and daughter both attend the nursery and the staff are caring and attentive to both their needs. It was such a great experience when it came time to put my second child into nursery to be able to take her to a place where the staff were all so familiar. I know I can trust them to take excellent care of my children and they also pay attention to our needs as parents. The environment is always clean and welcoming and the children are always engaged in fun activities. One of the things I love the most is how much time the children get to spend outside. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Emma Dawkins Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2014
Emma Dawkins

Since working at Derby Silvertrees from 2014,  I have worked in different roles starting as a relief member of the team, room leader, senior and deputy and proudly in 2020 took on the role of centre director.

I have a little boy who attends Derby Silvertrees full time so I have a good understanding of the importance of parent partnership, This means that myself and the team go above and beyond to include the parents in everything that we do and we have built excellent relationships with all of our families.

In the nursery I am extremely passionate about supporting my team with their practice, helping them to gain up to date knowledge and skills.  I have embedded the practice of outstanding teaching and learning centred around the children who attend Silvertrees to give them the best start in life.
