My daughter is 3 and has attended for a few months. The staff have been amazing. We both found the separation difficult but the centre director and the staff were very supportive with our settles. The staff have been very comforting and send daily pictures and updates, making me feel at ease being at
work. I definitely chose the right nursery for my little girl. I love the daily updates and the activities the girls do, I already see a difference in my daughter’s confidence. Thank you to the centre director and the girls for all their hard work.

Excellent nursery. My daughter loves coming to this nursery, she was made to feel extremely welcome and cared for from the day she started. The staff are lovely and knowledgeable and keep you informed as required. My daughter has developed new skills and has improved her communication and ability to
share. The food is very nutritious and has a good balance of meals and treats. Lovely outside space and spacious and clean inside too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My youngest child currently goes to Busy Bees Cheadle Hulme, the second of my children to attend this nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery for their friendly and caring staff, lovely clean facilities and their willingness to always help the children in their care, whether it be with supporting
additional needs, advice and support for parents or listening to any concerns you may have about your child, they are always there and genuinely care for the children in their care. Their menus are healthy but also enjoyable for children. My daughters love this nursery and are very happy walking in each day knowing the fun they will have.

Review from Lucie H (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to my work, my child used to go to a nursery in Manchester town centre. I decided to move her here from March 2020 and it's my best decision of the year. I can see the caring from each member of staff (even the manager) to the children. My child is so much happier and thrives and that means I can
be reassured to concentrate at work (still feel guilty every drop off though but it's OK). Everyone is amazing here and I can't thank them enough. Well done.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since joining nursery my son has developed in many ways (he started to speak English).
He loves going to the nursery everyday.
He loves all the teachers who are warm, caring and professional.
The management is very accommodating and flexible.
The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and
my little one really enjoys his time at the nursery.

My little girl absolutely loves attending nursery. They are always doing different activities with the children and on nice sunny days, they are always outside playing, which is how it should be.
The facilities are fantastic at this nursery and the food is amazing, my little girl always has everything.
The nursery nurses are always polite and great with the children.
I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone who was looking for a nursery, you children are in great hands here.

Knowing how much fun my son has here, I'm glad I made the decision in choosing Busy Bees as a place for him to be looked after, learn and make new friends. The staff always make a fuss and I know he is in safe hands.

My son has attended Busy Bees nursery on a full-time basis since he was 9 months old. He is now preparing to move into the school class. I have always been very happy with his care and feel he is looked after to a very high standard. The staff are amazing and I have always felt it is like a home from
home for him. He loves every day there and I always feel fully updated on his progress and what he has been up to. The staff always take the time to listen to any concerns I may have when I drop him off. I would like to recommend this nursery 100% and I know we will all miss it terribly when he leaves.

My son has only been at Busy Bees for a month but he already loves it. Staff have gone out of their way to make his start at nursery as easy and enjoyable as possible. The staff obviously enjoy their jobs and this shows by how friendly and caring they are. I just want to say a great big thank you.

I am very happy with my son attending Busy Bees Day Nursery. I can see how he has developed more since he has been going. The staff are lovely and always very friendly. The food he eats is always healthy and he enjoys it. He is always excited to go each day. The nursery is very flexible and helpful,
and make my life a lot easier and I am very grateful. The managers are great and the nursery nurses are amazing with my son, they really stand out to me each time.

My twin boys attend preschool here and love it. They constantly ask if they are going to nursery because they enjoy it so much. They have learnt a number of new things such as phonics. They are also learning to recognise their names. I am really happy with the care they get and feel comfortable that
they are being looked after. I feel they will be ready for school and well prepared.

In October, my child's health visitor came to see her due to her speech delay. The room and hey key worker in just a few weeks has helped her and she has made a massive improvement on her speech and behaviour. I couldn't praise the staff enough as they continue to support her.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.043)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.043) out of 10 for Busy Bees Cheadle Hulme is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Busy Bees Cheadle Hulme is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.043 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Cheadle Hulme is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 116 number of registered child places is 23.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.2 = 0.043
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
