Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery. He is always so excited to go and genuinely looks forward to spending his days with the staff and his friends, which is incredibly reassuring as a parent.

The nursery provides a great variety of activities each week, which keeps things fresh and engaging. The introduction of the new app has been a fantastic addition-it allows us to see what he'll be focusing on each week, and we regularly receive updates and photos linked to those activities. It's made such a difference when talking to him about his day, as we can have more meaningful conversations about what he's been doing and learning.

Our son has allergies, and the nursery team handle this with the utmost care and professionalism. We are always made to feel that his safety is a top priority, and it's clear they have strong procedures in place to manage and mitigate the risks.

The location is also a huge plus, with a lovely outdoor space that backs onto the park!

My daughter loves her time at nursery, and I find her care there to be excellent. I am kept really well informed about her progress or any issues, and her lead worker is really good at posting updates on the app.

I couldn't ask for more from our experience!

Review from R V (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm very happy with the start to life Busy Bees has provided for my daughter. Every single member of staff is friendly, welcoming, and has your child's best interests at heart. The activities they prepare, the facilities they have, the food they provide, there really isn't a single thing you could fault. It's all amazing. The communication with the nursery is always outstanding. My daughter can be very shy around places or people she's unfamiliar or uncomfortable with. At Busy Bees she is completely herself and clearly loves every day. It's very comforting as a parent to know you can leave your child in someone else's hands and not have to worry. That's exactly what it's like at this nursery.

Our son has been at Busy Bees Macclesfield since January 2025, and we have had the most positive experience. The nursery has a lovely calming atmosphere. All of the staff are so caring and friendly. My son absolutely loves his time there. They do so many different crafts and activities and my son especially loves the outside play area. I would recommend Busy Bees Macclesfield to anyone.

Overall Experience

We are extremely pleased with our experience at the nursery and cannot thank the team enough for their dedication and professionalism. The staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure the children feel safe, valued, and encouraged. Our daughter has formed strong bonds with her carers and enjoys a wide range of engaging activities that support her learning and social development. It is reassuring to know she is in such capable and caring hands.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Macclesfield has been a top class nursery from day one. The room and staff are excellent. Our child comes home excited about what's been learned and experienced. Drop-offs are a breeze because they know they're in for a good day. There is genuine care here, and it's evident everywhere - from the relationships with their carers, to the food served throughout the day.
