We have experience of five nursery settings in the last five years between moving and siblings but this one has been the best. The staff are exceptional and the communication is excellent. It is obvious they care for the children greatly and my little one is learning lots through the play activities they set up. I have had no negative experiences yet since my little one started about a year ago.
Every day our daughter comes home happy and excited. She is full of confidence and curiosity, we can see the difference this nurturing environment has made over the past 7 months.
We really appreciate the lovely balance of fun, learning, and development and how well the staff communicate with us. The updates, photos, and daily feedback make us feel part of her journey when we are not there.
We honestly couldn't recommend Busy Bees Holmes Chapel highly enough. It's such a warm, safe, and happy place.
Thank you Busy Bees, Holmes Chapel!
As a first time mum I was nervous leaving my child in the care of someone else. The staff have made this such an easy transition for me and my child. He is so happy here and has come on leaps and bounds since joining. He comes home everyday with a smile on his face. He adores all his carers, as do I.
We were warmly welcomed and supported last year as our son started at the Nursery.
Every little worry we had was attentively cared for by the staff, which made our onboarding experience very positive.
The staff are very talented and work diligently on their relationship with my son.
We receive excellent feedback on his development on a formal and ad-hoc basis.
We hugely value the posts/updates/photos we consistently receive throughout the day.
We value the transparent level of detail that we get, whether it's a positive or a negative update on our son's day. Knowing we have this valuable transparent communication has always given us peace of mind.
The big smile I see on my son's face when he's in the nursery is priceless.
The Holmes Chapel team should be very proud of the environment they have worked hard to build and the precious formative years they give to the children.
Our son has been at busy bees since he was 12 months old. He loves coming in to nursery and the nursery staff are wonderful with him. Our son has a number of allergies and they have been amazing with accommodating his needs.
My son started at the nursery in May and our experience has been great. The staff are all really lovely and friendly and helped him settle in really quickly. They always do lots of activities and keep us updated on his progress and how his days been. My son always looks forward to going in the morning and looks like hes having a really good time when we pick him up.
The high level of care and staff at this nursery are second to none! They really care for the children and look out for the parents as well. I can speak very highly of this setting and know that all the children are fairly treated. My child thrives here and loves this nursery. Thank you
Our daughter has really enjoyed her time at Busy Bees. February has been a fun month with the room staff setting up lots of themed activities to keep the children engaged & develop those early skills.
My experience with Busy Bees Holmes Chapel has been nothing short of exceptional. All of the staff are kind, friendly, fun, professional and welcoming, and my two children are very happy here. The nursery itself is always warm, clean and tidy, all of the rooms are extremely well equipped to support children of all ages and abilities, and there is always a calm but fun atmosphere. It is a very hard thing to leave your children in someone else's care but I couldn't feel more supported and communicated with. A wonderful and safe nursery with a fantastic team, I couldn't ask for more.
It's clear that the team truly cares for every child, creating a warm and welcoming environment. My daughter is always so happy and content at pick-up, which is a testament to the wonderful support they provide. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery
Our son (11 months) has just joined Busy Bees Holmes Chapel and we have been very impressed with this nursery. The overall atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff are brilliant. We are kept up to date with our son's day via the app, his learning and progress are noticeable even after just a few weeks, and the meals are fresh varied and nutritious. The nursery takes safeguarding seriously and the environment is clean, organised and spacious. I would definitely recommend it.
My daughter started at Busy Bees Holmes Chapel in January 2025. Previous to this she had never been in a nursery setting before but I have been extremely pleased with how well she has settled in and this is down to the staff being so friendly and accommodating! Management is very responsive to any queries we have had as parents in the first month and I will be recommending the nursery to friends and family.
We couldn't rate them highly enough.
I am extremely pleased with my children's development at Busy Bees Holmes Chapel. The staff genuinely care - that is clear from the breakdown of the day I get when I pick them up and how comfortable my children are with staff members at the nursery. Staff go out of their way to help and support. The garden area is fantastic too.
The staff at Busy Bees Holmes Chapel are exceptional. My daughter started at 10 months and I was reassured that Busy Bees Holmes Chapel was the right place for her. The staff were supportive during the transition and she has come on leaps and bounds in terms of her development.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We aim to give each child within our centre the best start in life at Busy Bees.
Our daughter loves this place. She is always happy to go there. We can see how her vocabulary develops and how much she learns everyday. She was a bit shy when she started nursery but now her confidence has grown and she is making her first friendships. Staff create family atmosphere, they are always happy to help no matter what question we have to ask. The communication is great, all events are always announced with plenty of notice. We know this is the best place to our children so we happily signed our second child there. I will recommend Busy Bees in Holmes Chapel to every parent who is looking for great childcare.
Fantastic nursery, my little boy originally attended the setting, he is now at school. He had a wonderful time at Busy Bees. He really came on with his speech and language. When he left to go to school, all the children had a graduation, it was wonderful and so lovely to see all the children together, ready for their next step. Now my little girl attends the nursery, she absolutely loves it and that's down to the amazing staff. They are wonderful with my little girl and I feel at ease when I leave her as I know she is in really great hands. The communication is brilliant. I am kept up-to-date throughout the day on the app. This tells me when my little girl has had her nappy changed, eaten and what she has had. And also, they put lovely photos up to show me what she has been up to throughout her day. She brings home some lovely pictures and is always full of beans when I collect her. I can honestly say, we, as a family, are really pleased with the nursery. Thank you to all the staff.
My daughter has settled in so well over the last year, the staff here are AMAZING - so friendly, welcoming, helpful and my daughter loves to be around them.
They keep us updated daily on the app with her activities along with pictures and her progress reports.
You are doing a fabulous job!!
I definitely recommend Busy Bees Holmes Chapel.
Every single member of staff has always gone above and beyond for our daughter and us, as a family.
The staff give their all every single day and it shows.
The site is beautiful, when we first visited we both said it's like a little school. The outside area is so spacious with the perfect amount of shading and activities for all ages.
I can't thank them all enough for everything they did for us during our daughter's time there, helping with all our needs and getting her ready for school and I cannot wait for our youngest daughter's journey to begin in the new year!
