Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 2 years and we've been really pleased with the experience we've had there. She always has a great time, and there is the opportunity for lots of outdoor play which she loves. The staff are always friendly and welcoming as well as being accommodating of last minute changes and individual circumstances.

BB Burnage is a wonderful nursery. Both my sons attend and are always well looked after. The staff are always doing activities to develop their learning, and the staff are always putting a lot of effort into celebrations and special times of the year. BB Burnage is always fun and welcoming, and I wouldn't recommend any other nursery. Nurserys always clean, food is always good, and my sons always eat their lunches and are very happy overall.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Brighter Begins Burnage from being 6/7months, my child was born with a cleft pallet & being a new parent it was a lot to take on & one of my worries was if she would adapt well in a nursery, that's when I found brighter begins from the introduction we had to current day the staff members that have looked after my child have been amazing they really have helped me understand my self as a father & also my child find her feet in the chaotic world we live in. I had a saying that if my child comes home clean she hasn't had a good day, everyday when I pick her up she's dirty & I'm glad she has fun given the implication she was born with! I can't thank the staff at bright begins Burnage more than I already have they are an amazing kind hearted people who I aspire my child to be like.

Review from S C (Father of Child) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, the environment has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive for both children and parents. The staff are all amazing-truly caring, attentive, and passionate about what they do. It's clear that they genuinely love working with children, and that shows in the way they engage, encourage, and nurture each child's development.

The activities are thoughtfully planned and varied, helping children learn through play while building confidence and social skills. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and reassured about my child's day.

Most importantly, my child is always happy to go in and comes home smiling, which says everything. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, positive, and enriching environment for their little one.

Our son is really happy and settled at this nursery. He has made great attachments with his key worker and the other staff, which has been wonderful to see and very reassuring for us as parents.
The nursery keeps us well informed through their app, where they upload lots of updates and information every day about how our son is getting on. We find this really helpful and it makes us feel connected to his day.

Overall, the setting is a very warm and lovely environment. The staff are caring, supportive, and clearly follow the EYFS curriculum in their activities and learning approach. We're very pleased with the care and support our son receives here.

Leah Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2019
Leah

My passion for childcare first brought me to work with children 8 years ago. I started as a level 3 apprentice with Brighter Beginnings training school and started at Brighter Beginnings Newton Heath. Through consistent hard work and dedication, I worked my way up, going from a room leader to a deputy manager. One of the most significant times in my career was when I helped support my manager to gain Outstanding in our OFSTED. My determination and my ability to inspire others helped me to get to where I am today, which is the manager of Burnage. I am extremely passionate about providing the best start for children in my setting and truly believe that providing high-quality childcare has a significant impact on children’s development. My aim in life is to provide children with the best experiences and opportunities to ensure they have the best possible start in life.

Danielle Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2013
Danielle

Early years have always been a big passion of mine as I truly believe that children are our future and how we shape them will have a lasting impact on who they become. I started my childcare journey 19 years ago, making the decision to join Brighter Beginnings 12 years ago. During my 19 years in childcare, I have dedicated myself to my studies and have gained a degree in childhood studies. I pride myself on my knowledge of childhood development and I often help mentor the apprentices and help them on their journey to become outstanding practitioners. Something I’m extremely passionate about is supporting children with additional needs as I feel like these children need an advocate and someone to be their voice who will support them and help them to reach their goals. Therefore I am currently doing my masters in Psychology to further my knowledge of neurodivergences so I can apply this to my current role and support the children in my care. As Early years is continuously changing I ensure that my knowledge is kept up to date not just regarding child development but also in regards to legislation. One of my biggest strengths is my empathy for others and being able to support staff through this I have worked my way up to become deputy manager.

Shannon Job Title: Room Leader Joined: 2021
Shannon

I have worked in childcare for 5 years and started with Brighter Beginnings as an apprentice doing my level 2, during this time I have worked my way up to room leader. I have worked at the Burnage setting for 3 years and lead the 0-2-year-old room. I have worked on my self-confidence during my time in the setting and now I am proud to say that I have become a confident practitioner who often supports others as part of my job role, brighter beginnings have been a vital part of my journey to become the practitioner I am today. I am very passionate about providing a warm and caring environment for the children. I ensure that my room and the staff in it are very nurturing as we work with the littlest children. Something I’m really passionate about is transitioning the babies into the setting as I know this can be difficult for both the parents and the children so I pride myself on effective parent partnerships. Most of my experience is within the baby room I am very confident in my knowledge and understanding of providing the children with the best start in life through providing awe and wonder activities.

Leonie Job Title: Room Leader Joined: 2019

For the past 9 years, I have worked in childcare, 6 of those years being at Brighter Beginnings Burnage.

During my time at brighter beginnings, my passion for inclusivity and my creative flare have shone through and I have worked my way up to room leader. My passion is providing fun creative opportunities for all children ensuring that everyone gets an opportunity to participate. The motto that I implement into everything I do is “No child gets left behind”. As a room leader, I like to inspire others by sharing my knowledge and helping my team to be the best possible versions of themselves. I pride myself on learning about each individual child in my care ensuring that their cultural beliefs, interests and personalities are all celebrated and embraced.

Amaya Job Title: Room Leader Joined: 2018
Amaya

I am one of the most longstanding staff at Brighter Beginnings Burnage, dedicating 6 years of my life to working with children. I have worked extremely hard to gain my level 2 and 3 qualifications with the company, with various support from my tutors. During my time at Brighter Beginnings, my enthusiasm for providing the best possible start to children on their educational journey has seen me work my way up to room leader. I have ample experience with all age ranges but my preferred room of choice is the preschool room. I am passionate about safeguarding children and ensuring that my team are aware of how to safeguard children. Not only am I a dedicated practitioner I’m also a caring mother to two of my own children, having my own children helps me to set the standard of how I am with the children in my care as I often think to myself about how I would want my children to be taken care of.
