Review from Fran H (Mother of Child) published on 27 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Best nursery ever, my son is so happy here, the staff are so attentive and have always made me feel at ease. My son's skills have developed amazingly since starting here. You can tell all the staff love their jobs. All go above and beyond to make me and my son feel welcome and I am so grateful I choose this nursery. He goes outside so much, he loves the outdoors. And is always so happy when I pick him up.

Great family run nursery with staff that genuinely care. Fantastic forest school and outside space to explore. Highly recommended Beeches, after being at a few nurseries this is the best in Prestwich.

We have been coming to this nursery since 2021 with our eldest and again from 2025 with our youngest. Warm and caring with fun facilities and we have nothing but good things to say about Beeches! Great value for money and a safe space for young children to develop and thrive.

Review from Elizabeth K (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A lovely, nurturing nursery/pre school that my children are thriving at. The core staff have not changed/moved on in the past 3 years we have been there and they all genuinely care about my children's happiness and development. The facilities are excellent, clean and well maintained. They are often finding new activities to do to expose the children to the wider world and culture around them.
The garden space is second to none and you often find the children involved in all manners of play there. The introduction of forest school has been a wonderful addition to an already varied curriculum.
We are regularly updated with development assessements, invited to parents evening and we are aware they liase with local schools too. This helps to ensure we feel up to date about progress, supported and listened to.

The food is healthy and varied. My children are often encouraged to try new tastes from around the world and have been actively involved in cooking/baking - they love this!

Review from Kayleigh G (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery since he was 1 year old and been in the baby and toddler room and recently moved to preschool. He loves his time at Beeches Day Nursery and I can see how much he has come on in confidence, language and socialising through his time with the staff and children. He has built some amazing bonds with the staff and made some friends and I love hearing the songs he sings from nursery and the tales he tells. What I loved from the beginning is they are not regimented and adapt to your child's interests and cues - my son enjoys being outdoors and gets plenty of outdoor time and explores nature with guidance. I'm sure he will love the forest school sessions they are introducing. They are really open to feedback and queries, always make time for parents if you want to discuss anything about your child's development or learning and are just really considerate of the load parents carry too. They look out for the welfare of everyone.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Beeches Day Nursery has been fantastic with my little boy. He has been there since he was a year old and he's now one of the older children in the preschool. He has flourished and thoroughly enjoyed his time there.
The garden is fantastic and they spend a lot of time outdoors which is great for active children. My son often comes home telling me facts he's learned about nature, Spanish vocabulary and singing phonics songs. This, on top of showing off the yoga moves he's learned.
Staff are so accommodating and helpful. They really care about the children and have adapted things for my son when needed. This was particularly helpful as he had trouble sleeping and needed more frequent naps/a more regimented nap schedule.

I can't recommend them enough. We have our next child signed up already and she isn't due until November!

Review from Jessica B (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery goes above and beyond for the care of the children, my little boy has thrived since starting in October 2022. The nursery food is always freshly prepared and very nutritious! My little one always comes home talking about all the delicious foods he has tried on his nursery days. The outdoor space is amazing and gives all the children opportunities to climb and explore the garden freely. The staff go above and beyond when I have any concerns regarding my child and always put my mind at ease. The management team are amazing and is always on hand to talk to when I have concerns regarding needing days etc.!

Review from Carina H (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm so pleased that we enrolled our daughter at Beeches, she has absolutely blossomed here and has gone from reserved and not so self-assured to confident and expressive. It's clear a lot of care and consideration is taken with all elements of the nursery from food, learning independent skills, interacting with others and keeping the parents well informed. A truly wonderful nursery that I would highly recommend.

Review from Alice C (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Two of my children attended Beeches Day Nursery from 12 months to starting in reception and my third child is currently in the Tweenies room. Our children have been so happy in this setting. The garden is, hands down, the best outdoor nursery space in Prestwich and the children spend a lot of time outdoors. Improvements are constantly being made to the indoor space. The staff here are the real asset though with senior staff having been at the nursery for many years and who show genuine love and care for the children. Highly recommend.

My eldest has just left and my middle child is now at Beeches Day Nursery. The staff are so caring and friendly - both my children have loved attending this nursery. One of the best things is the garden and all the adventures the children have out there.

A lovely little nursery with warm and caring staff. I've found that there hasn't been much staff turnover so the children can really build a good bond and feel safe and secure. My little boy has been very happy here.

Beeches really look after their children. The staff are super friendly, and when we drop our child off in the morning, we know he is in safe hands. Excellent nursery and we'll be sending baby 2 there next summer.

We love Beeches Day Nursery. Children are extremely well cared for by the excellent team. Warm, homely, nurturing atmosphere. Beautiful garden to play in. A difficult year for the new owner. She has handled it extremely well considering the challenges faced during the pandemic. Would recommend all day long!

Review from Jayne W (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent nursery where staff go above and beyond to accommodate parents' needs for child care. On multiple occasions, I have needed to add extra days due to work commitments and they have always been amazing in making this possible. Food is all homemade and nutritional, my child loves it and usually asks for seconds which he receives. Learning and play facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside. Would highly recommend sending your child here.
