Busy Bees Derby Silvertrees offers a nursery experience where every child receives dedicated support throughout each stage of their development. With a highly qualified team who go above and beyond, your child will receive the very best start in life at Busy Bees.
The bright and airy rooms are carefully designed to inspire and engage children with the array of fun-filled activities and learning resources available. Children can enjoy inviting reading corners and imaginative play areas, which ignite their curiosity and imagination.
Outdoors the excitement continues in the nursery's large garden, which boasts a wooden adventure play area where children can play and explore under the careful supervision of the staff. In addition, a sheltered area facilitates outdoor learning experiences, allowing children to engage with nature and have hands-on learning experiences.
With endless opportunities for children to unleash their full potential, there is never a dull day at Busy Bees Derby Silvertrees. Parents can also continue the fun and learning at home by downloading the UP app, which offers a range of resources, activities, information, and advice on supporting their child's learning and development.
With an established pre-school, Silvertrees has strong links to schools in the local area. This means children are able to progress in the company of established friends.

My son has been attending Silvertrees since September 2024. The settling in process was amazing, I met all the staff in the baby room and his key worker. I receive regular updates about my child's day when they are posted on the app along with pictures of my son enjoying the many activities they do together. The staff are amazing! They have created a strong relationship with my son and always take the time to talk to me. I would recommend Busy Bees Silvertrees.
The water drainage in the outdoor area is poor and needs work.

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.
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...
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.

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.

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!!

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.

An excellent nursery with amazing, helpful and caring staff. I wouldn't have my boys go anywhere else. I will continue to use this nursery until my boys leave and for any children, I have in the future.

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.

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 are glad with her care and growth at nursery.

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.

My son has developed in many ways since started at the nursery. He also loves going to the nursery and meet his friends and staff every day.

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.
