Review from F L (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Brighter Beginnings Rusholme is an outstanding nursery that provides a home away from home for my baby. The staff are loving and caring and the facilities are excellent. I particularly like that besides the general playroom, there is a quiet room that provides a relaxing space for the children to engage in quiet or not-so-loud play.

Reply from Kerry Heywood, Nursery admin at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Rusholme

Overall Experience
I am very happy with their professionalism. My son now feels excited about going to the nursery.
He has learnt many rhymes, new words and new ways to interact with people as previously he was a bit shy.

Their team always greet and welcome my son in a good, smiling way, so enjoys his time there.

I love this nursery, it's close to my house and has close access to the bus stop (direct bus options to campus and the city centre). They provide a wide range of activities that stimulate my daughter's cognitive and emotional skills. Their staff are kind and respectful, especially Sunshine's room leaders. Thank you so much!

Review from Sofina C (Mother of Child) published on 26 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Thanking you all for helping my son to develop into a strong-minded and confident boy.
For providing a safe space for him to explore, test boundaries and take risks.
For the cuddles when there have been bumps and scrapes, high emotion and a need for comfort.
For nurturing his interests and helping him to develop passions for art, numbers and the outdoors too.
For being a second home to him, a place where he feels comfortable and happy to be himself.
For helping him learn about friendships, the good and the bad!
A big big big thank you for the support you've offered to us as parents over the year.

His room staff have and are being amazing with him.

Review from Fatima H (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was very nervous to send my young baby to daycare, it was something I was really dreading. However, the staff made it so much easier for me and the baby than I could have imagined. They had a settling-in period to make the transition smoother for the baby which honestly made such a huge difference. Since starting, he’s progressed so much and has become more advanced for his age. The staff have personalised progression charts for him and record where his development is and what the next steps are. Baby explores so much and has become so much more open and social since starting at Brighter Beginnings. I feel like he has become more confident since starting.

He always goes in smiling and laughing and I always pick him up the same way! The staff are a second family to him and always go the extra mile and it really shows. The playroom itself has different sections which change all the time (e.g. sandpit, painting, playing with leaves, etc.) and a great display section.

The nursery is very good. My daughter loves going to it and I think she enjoys it very much and everyone who works is really nice and helpful. But children get very dirty and some colours do not come out of the clothes. I hope you solve this problem. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My daughter is very happy when coming to nursery and she doesn't cry now. She learned many things here in nursery. She knows the colours, shapes, the ABCs and can pronounce correctly. She also knows numbers till 40 and I am proud of her. She can join any discussion easily at home. She had speaking problems at first but now she has started speaking and saying sentences.

Overall Experience

Our child has really developed since attending Brighter Beginnings. We are extremely happy with their learning, in particular, their language and early cognitive skills. The staff here have been amazing with our child's transition to nursery and different classes. It is a warm and friendly environment where our child feels safe and cared for. There is also great communication from the staff at Brighter Beginnings. We are confident with how happy our child is and as a parent, knowing they are safe and cared for is very important.
