Review from Jessica H (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We genuinely couldn't be happier with Busy Bees. Picking a nursery for your child is a big responsibility but we comment on how happy we are with our choice almost every day after collecting our child.
The best indicator is that my child loves going to nursery. I am in absolutely no doubt that the nursery and the team members in my child's room know my child very well and that they have taken the time to get to know them and their individual likes/dislikes. The team are absolutely wonderful - always smiling, genuinely happy to see the children and always take the time to have a chat with parents.

The activities are brilliant - there are fun theme weeks, plenty of outdoors time, physical activities and messy play. Food is healthy and well varied. Any feedback I have given has always been very quickly acted upon (ie. please can I see more frequent photos of my child on the app). It's the best of both - the backing of a large chain with the personal touch of the Chorley centre staff.

Overall Experience

My boys have been going since they were 12 months and soon to be 5 years. So that shows how good the childcare is. They have supported all my children’s needs and will continue on school holidays when they start school in September.

Reply from Hayley Murphy, Centre Director at Busy Bees Brooke Street

Thank you for such a lovely review Laura, we have loved seeing the boys grow and develop in their time at Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

As first time parents we were apprehensive at first about sending our son to nursery, however, Busy Bees at Brooke Street have made the entire process really smooth, reassuring and we feel totally confident that our son enjoys his time at nursery. He has developed so quickly and genuinely looks forward to everyday he goes!

Reply from Hayley Murphy, Centre Director at Busy Bees Brooke Street

Review from Shannon L (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience at Busy Bees at Brooke Street has been fantastic, my daughter started in September 2020 and has loved every minute. The nursery do very well with reporting to parents what activities and meals our children have done and had throughout the day. I contacted nursery about my child having Autism and they have been amazing with the process regarding helping and arranging extra help for my daughter. I am extremely grateful for this and it goes to show how much they care for the children they look after. The staff in themselves are fantastic, always helpful, always smiling, very approachable and make every process throughout nursery easy and helpful, making me very happy to leave my child with them due to the level of trust they have shown.

Overall Experience

The staff are nothing but amazing, from workers in the rooms to management, I was extremely anxious about my daughter starting nursery and they reassured me in every area I was concerned with. They are all over her development and making sure she is happy, safe and learning. She fits right in and they are happy to take my calls when I’m worrying, updating me via the app with what she’s doing and involving me in her nursery development. I’m overall really happy with the choice I made.

Reply from Hayley Murphy, Centre Director at Busy Bees Brooke Street

Thank you so much for the positive review. We are so happy to be able to give your daughter the best start in life, she is such a lovely little girl.

Overall Experience

We have two daughters who attend Busy Bees at Brooke Street. They love being at nursery and look forward to their days there. They attend three full days a week. We love the updates and the pictures that we receive on the app. It is great to see that they are having fun whilst we are working. All the staff are so caring with our girls and this is evident with how settled they are. When my eldest is asked who her friends are at nursery she also names the staff which I think is lovely. Thank you for all that you do.

Review from Rachel Y (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees at Brooke Street Chorley is a lovely, friendly nursery, and we have always felt that our little boy is safe and cared for here. The daily activities are varied and keep them entertained and making developmental progress. As a parent, it is hard to leave your little treasure in the hands of people that you don't really know and feel comfortable with it. However, the staff at this nursery quickly feel like friends and have made us feel at ease in asking as many questions as we need to, and getting full updates at the end of every day to ensure that we know exactly what has been going on that day. The parent zone app is updated regularly so we can keep up with how he is getting on throughout the day. The staff really get to know the children and the parents and the care received is really personalised. The food is varied and healthy, the building is purpose-built and super clean. We would thoroughly recommend this nursery!

Review from Ashley I (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We started our little boy here at the beginning of October as I was going back to full-time work. We were very dubious as he has always had separation issues. But he has had a few cries, but the staff have always managed to distract and keep him busy. The center Manager is very helpful and has been able to answer all our questions and concerns we've had. The staff in the baby room where our little boy is, are all absolutely lovely and keep us updated regarding any issues with him. We would highly recommend Busy Bees at Brooke Street.

Review from James M (Father of Child) published on 30 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery this August just after the COVID-19 outbreak, and throughout registration of the nursery, we were put at ease for our daughter starting. She has settled in really well and enjoys her days within Brooke Street. We originally were only going to enrol a few days a week, but have now increased to four as she loves it that much. The staff within the Baby room are so attentive, calm and reassuring and our daughter goes in with open arms in a morning. Her day is always fed back on pick up and the staff are so informative of her daily activities and fun play. The manager and admin are always on hand and have smiles on their faces at all times of the day. We monitor the I-Connect system where we can see her daily food, and activities and she looks like she is having a blast. The different meals our daughter receives is also a blessing, as she has helped support her through the weaning stages. Great first term within Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

My experience of Busy Bees at Brooke Street has been excellent. My daughter has been coming since she was 10 months old and always skips into nursery with a huge smile on her face. The staff are extremely helpful and kind, nothing is too much trouble for them. The flexible hours option has been excellent for us and very helpful with mine and my partners shift work. The facilities and activities the nursery provides are excellent also. Overall my experience with Busy Bees at Brooke Street has been very enjoyable and stress free.

Review from Amanda O (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our eldest son attended Busy Bees full time from the age of 2 until he started school. Our second son, who is 2 years old now, is currently attending full time and has been since he was 7 months.
Every single member of staff is fully invested in making sure the children are happy and developing well in all areas of learning. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our children there.
Admin and managerial staff always respond to queries, questions and general chit chat with their full attention, details, justifications and a warm, friendly manner.
The safety of the children in their care is paramount.
Food is superb.
We are both teachers and we felt more than happy with how our son was prepared for school and the way in which transitions were managed was excellent.
They are always happy to work at the pace of each individual child, support parents in their approaches to sleep, food, toilet training etc. As well as providing advice when necessary.

Could not ask for more.

Review from Kelly C (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Busy Bees at Chorley for nearly 3 years now and I can honestly say they are fantastic. All the staff are very enthusiastic and do an amazing job of supporting my son. All the rooms have plenty of activities appropriate to their age. The staff keep you fully updated to your child's care and development with regular feedback. They have made us feel at ease from day 1 and I am confident that he is being given appropriate support for his development. My son looks forward to nursery and tells me all about his day. The days he does have a 'wobble' the staff show lots of affection to him and give him the confidence he needs. I feel the nursery is very well managed and nothing has been too much trouble for them.

Overall Experience

Both my boys (2 and 4 years) come to this nursery and absolutely love it! My youngest was a bit unsettled when he first started but the staff in his room made a special effort to settle him asking about his likes. He was settled quickly and now runs into nursery each day. They both ask to go at weekends too. They learn so much and always surprise me with the things they’ve learnt at nursery. Cannot praise the staff enough for the work and effort they put in everyday!

Review from Sharon B (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started in the baby room in January when he was just 8 months old. When we come in in the morning every member of staff warmly greets him and my little boy just beams and gets all excited. Whilst we are at work myself and my husband are kept regularly updated on what he is up to through the parent zone app. We also put home observations on the app so the staff can see what he had been up to at home, it's a great way of communicating. The standard of feedback at the end of the day is excellent, we love finding out about his day.

Another plus about the nursery is they offer extra activities, my little boy loves going to his Jazzy babes class which is run by a professional dance teacher.

Review from Yzdani L (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My eldest daughter came here in March 2015 to September 2016 with her younger sister starting in April 2017. The reasons for choosing this nursery over others due to its separate rooms for different ages/stages and large outside. At other nurseries, they can group 2-4-year-olds together.
At Busy Bees at Brooke Street, children are with their peers and group activities are not limited.

Staff are very friendly and helpful.

I would without hesitation recommend this nursery.

Danielle Lomax Job Title: Centre Director
Danielle Lomax

Hello, my name is Danielle and I have worked for Busy Bees for over 15 years starting out as an apprentice gaining both my level 2 and then level 3 qualification in childcare. Following this I progressed in my career within the company moving from room manager to senior and assistant manager over 3 of our Centres whilst also completing my leadership and management qualification with Busy Bees.

In January 2023 I became the Centre Director at Chorley Brooke Street and have since enjoyed working with and leading the long-serving and dedicated staff team we have here. We pride ourselves on our passion and dedication to all our children and families and our curriculum focuses on providing every child with the experiences, environments and care that supports them not just throughout their time with us but as they then begin their journey onto school.

The children are at the heart of everything we do here at Chorley Brooke Street and we can’t wait to show you around our centre.
