Overall Experience
My son's development has really improved. He has been attending nursery for one year and a half now, he was friendly and now he is socialising more, started not to be shy anymore.
Very friendly and passionate staff, they really care about the well-being of the children.

We are very appreciative for all the care and support for our children!

Overall Experience

I use Busy Bears for both of my girls and they love it. I find them very nurturing and my kids are always excited to see them in the morning. I'm never afraid of asking questions or requesting things and always met with a positive outcome. I enjoy the sensory room and that they have a nice big garden at the back which the kids go out in in all weather!

Overall Experience

Brilliant place, with amazing staff. I feel absolutely confident about my child spending their after-school time there until I collect them. The amazing thing is that they do the collection from school. Everyone is nice and welcoming and particularly good to children.

Overall Experience

Very high standard, very respectful and inclusive from all the children nothing but excellent words for my little girl since starting there she has come on so much since starting there. They asked me for updates and anything that we could work on and vice versa. At Busy Bears, it is such a relaxing setting for my child and she loves going. The staff have gone above and beyond for my little girl which I am very grateful.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending nursery since January now and he loves it.
Amazing staff, very friendly and caring. When my son was upset they could settle him very easily by hugging him.

Lots of activities, games and crafts. My son developed very much in talking, and writing. Highly recommended.

This is the first time my baby is in the nursery so the place is nice, clean and comfortable. The carers are very friendly and they also have good activities, and the manager is a kind person so I love this nursery.

We are delighted with our experience at Busy Bears. The quality of care provided for my son has been exceptional. The staff is not only professional but also genuinely caring, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. Communication has been outstanding, with regular updates on my child's activities and development. The learning environment is engaging, fostering both educational and social growth. I appreciate the dedication of the staff and the well-maintained facilities. My son looks forward to attending each day, which speaks volumes about the positive impact of this nursery. Highly recommend Busy Bears for its commitment to providing a fantastic early learning experience.

Overall Experience

My son has been coming here since April and he has come on massively. He has become really close to the staff members and loves the outdoor facilities here. He’s a very fussy eater but the nursery manages to always make sure he is full and happy. I would recommend this nursery if you are looking for one that ticks all the boxes.

Review from Maryam A (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Busy Bears Nursery at Manor House Lane Preston from 2 years old and I can clearly see a positive difference in his development. The staff is very friendly, and helpful all the time. My youngest was in the same nursery for 2 years and the nursery helped me a lot with his Autism and learning disabilities assessment and for his EHCP as well. Thanks.

Busy Bears Nursery is amazing. From their food to outdoor activities, creativity, family fun evenings and most importantly the quality of care they have for my children that attend. You can always guarantee that you're given a full update after their session and they always come out smiling.

Overall Experience
We are so glad we chose this nursery for our son.
After a difficult settling-in period, which the staff were so supportive of, my son now runs in excited to go to nursery. He adores his key workers and enjoys all the activities.

Thank you to all the team who work so hard every day for our children.

Overall Experience

My little girl started Busy Bears Day Nursery in September. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, provisions and overall care my daughter receives at the nursery. My daughter has grown a close bond with not only the staff in her room but also staff throughout the nursery. The girls are so warm and welcoming. I would recommend Busy Bears to everyone.
