Overall Experience

Brighter Beginnings has played a significant role in my child's social, physical and emotional development. It took a while for my child to settle into nursery, but Brighter Beginnings were extremely patient and supportive. Beyond speaking more confidently and clearly now, my child interacts more freely with any people now than he used to. I couldn't be more thankful for the staff at the nursery who have played a tremendous role in this.

Review from Janell P (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From my first visit, I knew that this nursery was a friendly and welcoming place. All the children were incredibly happy and well cared for. I thought my son would struggle with nursery having spent the first 9 months of his life in lockdown, but after 2 weeks he was smiling every morning when dropped off and greeted me with a huge smile at the end of each day. The staff ask lots of questions to make sure they are catering for your child's every need. I'm so pleased I chose this nursery to look after my child.

Overall Experience

My kid (I feel so) is quite stubborn and coming from a different country, it was a difficult time for her as well as the nursery staff and is as well. But the nursery staff have been very cooperative and understanding. And now, she is having a great time at nursery and doing really good. Thanks to the Brighter Beginnings team.

Overall Experience

Overall an outstanding nursery!!! My son attends Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery Rusholme and absolutely loves it. He literally runs in on arrival and leaves with a smile on his face. Having our child looked after by people who genuinely care, especially in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic definitely relieved some anxieties. The facilities and activities are great but I think what sets this nursery apart is the staff. The manager is brilliant, my son's key worker is outstanding and the rest of the team all round are absolutely fabulous!

I have always felt that my son has been so well looked after at Brighter Beginnings. All of the staff make him feel so welcome and part of the family; they seem to care so much about the children and deliver such lovely opportunities for the children to learn about the world and explore new things. My son particularly enjoys Forest School there and loves the variety of activities, each week he seems to be doing/ exploring something different.

Both of my children attend this nursery, they are excited to attend every morning and always come out happy and singing.
I knew right away I wanted to put my children here just by seeing the upbeat atmosphere and friendly staff looking after the children.
They do a range of different creative activities, and I love seeing the little cakes and paintings my children bring home.

Overall a brilliant nursery!

Overall Experience
My daughter has only been attending for a short period of time and is still getting used to the setting.
Due to Covid restrictions, I was only able to spend a limited time within the setting myself but from what I witnessed the setting was clean and adequately set up with resources for the children, the staff were also attentive and well informed.

So far I'm pleased with the nursery as a whole.

Review from Nadine B (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery has been such a positive in mine and my little ones lives. My child's development has come on leaps and bounds in all areas since starting at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Rusholme. There are lots of activities, quite often ones relating to current affairs such as the sponsored walk the nursery organised in memory of Sir Captain Tom Moore. The staff are friendly, professional and my little one has grown very fond of them.

Reply from Elaine Elliott, Nursery Manager at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Rusholme

Pleased you have had a positive experience, we try and include all children in current events and activities. The staff work really hard to plan the activities and experiences for the children. The rooms are set out so all children can access the resources and all areas of the playroom.
