Busy Bees Cheadle Kingsway

Our experience of Busy Bees Kingsway is very positive. All the staff are friendly, the security into the building is secure, and the outdoor area is a great space for the children. We find the nursery to be well organised and our child is very happy here.

Very satisfied with the care provided.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 9 months old, the staff are amazing and she loves going to see her key worker. I have always felt at ease that my daughter is well cared for and nurtured whilst she's at nursery and that is incredibly important. Her key worker and two members of staff, in particular, ensure that she's happy and encourage and help her to develop her language and gross/fine motor skills through play and lots of other activities that have really helped her as she's grown and she is always so excited to see them. You can see how much every staff member cares for the children who attend and I would definitely recommend this nursery.

The staff to child ratio is always high, and we always feel confident that our children are safe and well looked after.

The Busy Bees team make the effort to really know the children in their care, and I genuinely believe they look after them like family. My daughter runs in happy every drop off, and is smiling but exhausted from all the fun every evening! They have her eating things she wouldn't dream of at home too! I love how often they have the kids playing outside, and the app keeps parents updated frequently. I'm delighted we chose Busy Bees Cheadle Kingsway- and I keep my daughter there even though I've moved a bit further away. The whole team are warm, welcoming and open- I can't recommend them enough.

I just have to start by saying how amazing I think Busy Bees is, being a first-time mom is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever experienced and one of the most stressful as well. Dropping my child off to a bunch of strangers every day was truly one of the most daunting experiences of my life. I can honestly say, today, I trust my daughter with every person at Busy Bees. She is the happiest I've ever seen her. She is so loved and adored by all staff. But I can't make this post without recognising a few of the most amazing staff, the centre director and another member of staff, in particular, are two of the most professional educational and sweet people I've ever met my daughter adores them. Another three members of staff, in particular, are absolutely fabulous every day I pick up my daughter. I leave cracking up laughing with the stories they share with me about my child. They are always so sweet when I pick her up. I would recommend Busy Bees to anybody, money well spent and I couldn't be happier with the service.

Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees for just over two years and absolutely loves it. I can't praise the management team and staff enough. They are caring and attentive. Our daughter is thriving in her development. There is a real sense of family. There are plenty of activities and the children learn so much. Although we have moved further away, we have decided to keep our daughter here as she always comes out smiling.

My little boy has attended Busy Bees since 11 months old. He is now almost 5 and ready to start school. He attended two other Busy Bees settings and I have always felt he is completely safe and cared for and his development and growth have been important to staff. He has loved his time at Busy Bees and I am so glad I chose for him to attend here over other nurseries. He has developed great bonds with staff and is now completely prepared for starting school in September. I highly recommend Busy Bees and my little boy has loved his time there. I have nothing negative to say at all.

Couldn't be happier with the care given to our little one. All the staff are caring, diligent and friendly. The verbal and digital updates are great. Very happy with the varied food and activities provided. Thank you!

I am absolutely delighted with my experience of Busy Bees and I feel very lucky to have found this nursery. My son started just before turning one and had very bad separation anxiety but the staff were amazing and he quickly grew to love it there. I can tell they have all taken the time to get to know him and I feel completely safe leaving him in their care. They seem to have a great mix of activities and the menu is great. Would highly recommend it!

In the short amount of time my daughter has been at nursery, I have got the impression that the staff and her main carers have made a great effort to get to know her. I feel very comfortable and confident leaving her with staff and I can tell she is happy there. I have appreciated the continuity of my child having a main carer. We love receiving pictures and updates through the app but would love to know even more about what she's been up to. I'm very happy overall so far!

My daughter has attended the baby room since September 2020 after a natural settling in period, it is clear to see her strong relationships with the baby room staff which is reassuring to see. My main concern at the beginning was how her allergies would be handled but the staff and cook included have been beyond amazing through the process of me finding my way around my daughters allergies. She is well looked after and enjoys the activities that take place in the baby room to improve her overall development.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. The girls are so kind, friendly and really care about the children. My daughter has come on so well since attending and I really put that down to the level of care she receives here.

My son has accessed the nursery since he was seven months old, supporting my return to work. The staff were welcoming and child centred, ensuring he had an effective transition. Within his first few years I was invited to parent evenings and was updated on progress. Handover was never rushed and the team were accommodating and friendly. The team were forthcoming with information around any accidents or concerns. Working in child social care myself I can see robust and effective processes are in place. He was able to transition to the toddler room with ease and has been able to form effective relations with staff and his young peers. The app has proved beneficial to see observations and pictures. This could be explained further to see meals, however this information is always shared at handover. His key workers are present and involved and he talks about them regularly! A positive influence! I am grateful to have accessed this nursery whilst continuing to work.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Cheadle Kingsway since March 2020 and we have been nothing but impressed with the standard of care and management of the nursery. Starting nursery during a global pandemic hasn't been easy but we have been pleased with all the measures put in place and pleasantly surprised at the lack of disruption. My daughter absolutely loves attending, she has built up great relationships with all of the staff in her room and formed some good friendships , something that's more important than ever now that she can't meet up with other children outside of nursery. Her development has come on leaps and bounds from speech and communication through to social development, as well as skills around eating and feeding herself. I'm delighted with the nursery and would recommend to others.

The staff at Busy Bees are wonderful! Each and every one shows genuine care for the children and for ensuring they have a positive experience and enjoy themselves at nursery. The meals are varied and nutritional, activities are fun and the children really learn while they are there. My child gets really excited about the calendar of events too, where they can do a range of activities and crafts. Finally, I think the whole team have responded tremendously to the challenges of the last year. Navigating these challenges and supporting parents through them, whilst making sure there is minimal disruption and no anxiety for the children is wonderful! Highly recommended nursery.

We moved our daughter to this nursery from her previous nursery after it came highly recommended to us from friends whose children have attended. We are very happy with our decision. The care is excellent, our child is thriving and is always excited to tell us about her days at nursery. I would strongly recommend Busy Bees in Cheadle Kingsway.

My daughter loves coming to nursery, she has great relationships with the staff and other children. A lot of the staff have worked at the nursery for many years and really know the children well. They offer lots of different activities and lots of outdoor and messy play, which my daughter loves! The food is cooked on site, it’s healthy and a wide variety is offered. All the staff are approachable and friendly, it’s a great nursery!

Our three-year-old daughter has attended Busy Bees in Cheadle Kingsway since she was six months old, so has spent time in all rooms, such as baby, toddler and now preschool. From the very beginning, she has been extremely happy there and has never once been reluctant to go! We are confident that she is well cared for and has learnt invaluable social skills, as well as gaining early educational knowledge, both of which will provide a great basis for school. The staff are friendly and consistent, there have been very few changes across three years, which shows it is a strong and happy team. The centre director is also very approachable and receptive to questions and feedback, which is reassuring. The centre might not be as smart-looking as some more modern nurseries but it is well-maintained and we love that there is a large, creative garden area for all ages of children. The food is also excellent, both in balance and variety and communal table manners are clearly encouraged.

My daughter loves the baby room staff and her friends. All of the baby room staff make me and my daughter feel extremely welcome. Feedback is always positive. The baby room is one big happy family. Every time I look through the corridor window, she and all the other babies are always content. No issues whatsoever. It is so important to feel your child is safe and happy and this is how Busy Bees in Cheadle Kingsway makes me feel.
