Great nursery. My boys in busy bees Amanda and the rest of the team have been great with my child and keeping up with his eczema and allergies I feel really safe leaving him at the nursery. Overall it is definitely a great nursery.
Lovely helpful staff. My child enjoys nursery. He is loved and cared for well. The staff always put me at ease. Everyone is really polite and lovely. Couldnt ask for better staff!! Thank you to everyone working there.
Birkbees is a fabulous nursery. My daughter has settled really well and had a great relationship with all staff. The ethos and the environment of the nursery is very welcoming and home from home like. Meals and snacks at nursery are well balanced and nutritious. Staff engage well with my daughter and make sure she is hitting key milestones and help with her development through activities and purposeful play.
Good environment and lovely staff. My child likes being at nursery than being home. This is my third child attending this nursery. My older 2 left nursery with beautiful memories. They learnt new stuff that can be difficult for a parent to teach because of work. We have never had any disputes over any matter and the staff have always welcomed us and our children in a friendly way. Thumbs up and keep up the hard work.
My child absolutely loves this nursery and always comes home with a big smile. The staff are incredibly supportive and create a very happy, welcoming environment. He enjoys all the games, loves playing with cars and trucks, and always talks about the fruits he eats. It is wonderful to hear him share everything he does during the day. This nursery is perfect for his development, and I highly recommend it to any parent!
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so happy to hear your son enjoys his time here at nursery an can talk about it when he comes home.
My child is in bumblebees class room and all the staff members are excellent. They are supportive and help my child grown and learn new things. My child is always happy to see all the staff members and comes home to show off her new skills and the new songs and actions she has learnt.
Thank you for you comments on our bumblebees room, we are so happy to learn your daughter enjoys her time at nursery and that you find the staff very supportive
My daughter has been attending the nursery since last 1 year and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Leaving your child can be daunting, but the loving, caring staff made the transition so much easier. She always runs in with a smile and has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and social skills.
The nursery provides a fantastic, stimulating environment with a great balance of indoor and outdoor play, regardless of the weather. I particularly love receiving updates and photos through the app, which gives us a lovely insight into her activities. The communication is always clear and timely, and the key workers are genuinely invested in the children's individual needs and development.
Thank you to all the hardworking staff for providing such a safe, nurturing place for her to learn and grow. We highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so please you have found your daughter is coming on with her development and you have found the transition easy and settling for yourself.
birkbees has really supported zayn with his time at nursery, since this is his first few months i have have seen him progress in his words and talking and i can see he has learnt many new things there. I think birkbees has really helped to shape his behaviours and attitudes at home aswell.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're so happy to hear about your son's progress and the positive impact his time at Birkbees has had, both at nursery and at home.
Birkbees day care is very organised, is clean, they listen to your concerns about your child. They are respectful and helpful. The way they look after the kids is top class because am writing as my child attends there so I do see the impact and positive it has on my child. They use modern communication to communicate with parents like they have an app where parents can sign in and see their child's progress. So overall I recommend any parent who wants to send their child to nursery and live around can have the confidence that their child can well be look after and develop a lot of skills.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're really pleased to hear about the positive impact Birkbees Day Care has had on your child and that you feel supported and confident in our care. We truly appreciate your recommendation and trust.
My daughter has been attending birkbees for over 2 years and i must say it is a well run nursery, my daughter loves it here and we are really happy with the choice we made when deciding which nursery to choose. Staff are really nice and welcoming and management do their best to accomadate any changes/concerns parents may have. I really would recommend this nursery. I also like the fact they have cameras in all the rooms
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear your daughter loves her time at Birkbees and that you've been happy with your choice. Your feedback about our staff, management, and communication means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
This is a great nursery, friendly staff and clean environment all three of my children have gone here and wouldn't choose another nursery! Good communication with parents. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and continued trust in our nursery. We're delighted to hear you've been happy with our staff, environment, and communication, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
We are very happy with the school and the care my son receives. The teachers are supportive, patient, and genuinely interested in the children's development. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, and my son feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. I would confidently recommend this school to other parents.

Birkbees staff are amazing. During a difficult transition of leaving your child to come back to work at such a young age is quite traumatic. The staff were so accommodating and empathic reassuring me that should I feel the need to call and check in that's fine no matter how many times. Although I really didn't need to as my son settled in pretty much straight away and I believe this is due to the caring nature of the staff and setting. He has learnt so much and his character has grown massively and I get updates on the app from his amazing key worker on a regular basis which is fantastic. My son leans in to the nursery staff when he is dropped off which shows us that he is happy and he regularly repeats their names at home. The management team keep the setting running smoothly and are very accommodating if I need an extra day now and again, very friendly and welcoming and the communication is fantastic. I cannot fault Birkbees and would highly recommend to other parents.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience. We know how emotional those early transitions can be, and we're so pleased you felt supported and reassured by our team. Hearing how happy and settled your son is, and how much he's grown, means so much to us. Thank you for your trust and recommendation - it really is appreciated by everyone at Birkbees.
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our son has been attending for the past 5 months and the care he's received has been absolutely wonderful. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. My son always cries upon dropping him off. However once he is in the arms of his teacher he quickly settles and waves bye. Which really speaks volumes about how nurturing and
welcoming the environment is. We're always kept informed about his day, his progress, and any little milestones, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into the activities and routines, and our son has grown so much in confidence during his time here. We're very grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and supportive place for their child.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're incredibly grateful for your kind words and so pleased to hear how happy and settled your son is. Knowing he feels comforted and safe with our staff means the world to us. Thank you for your trust and recommendation - it truly means a lot to the whole team.
Both of our children have attended this nursery (youngest still does). The staff are really friendly and have been so good with both kids. Youngest talks about the staff at home which shows how well she's settled.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're so pleased both of your children have been happy with us, and it's lovely to hear your youngest talks about our staff at home. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
My son has been going since November he really enjoys it, his speech has come on leaps and bounds, the staff are fantastic at keeping me updated I was worried at first as he's only ever been with me and family members i didn't need to be they are fantastic he struggled setting in but now he can't wait to go
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I'm very happy to hear that your son has settled into nursery and that you are noticing how his speech is developing since starting with us. I will make sure that the team at Birkbees get to see your review.
I've seen such positive growth in my child's confidence, communication, and independence. It's incredibly reassuring to know that they are surrounded by staff who genuinely care and who strive to create an environment where every child can thrive.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear about the positive progress your child has made and that they feel safe, supported, and included with us. Supporting every child as an individual is extremely important to our team, and your kind words mean a great deal. Thank you for recommending Birkbees.
My child started Birkbees Nursery in September 2025, and my daughter also attended previously before Covid in 2021. Although there were nurseries closer to home, I chose Birkbees for many reasons.
The staff truly go above and beyond. They are incredibly friendly, always helpful, and provide nutritious meals made from fresh ingredients. My child was born prematurely, and I felt anxious about sending him to nursery at just nine months old due to concerns about his development. The team at Birkbees have been amazing in supporting his milestones and development, and they consistently keep me informed of his progress.
I would highly recommend Birkbees Nursery to any parent. If you are unsure, I encourage you to visit, you immediately feel the warm, caring environment the moment you walk through the door.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're really grateful that you chose Birkbees for both of your children, and it means a great deal to us that you felt supported, especially during such an important stage of your child's development. Our team work hard to create a nurturing,...
The communication from the nursery is outstanding - they keep us updated on our child's progress and daily activities. It's clear they genuinely care about every child's well-being and growth.
We highly recommend Birkbees Day Care to any parents looking for a nurturing, safe and fun environment for their little ones.
