Our daughter has attended here since approximately 14 months old. There have been some peaks of high staff turnover which is expected in the sector but overall all staff have been lovely. I think it helps the children (certainly ours) when there are periods of staff consistency. It's been lovely watching our daughter reach an age where the socialization of nursery begins to have true benefits (for her I'd say from 2-2.5y onwards). She now has friendships and sometimes we even bump into her friends at the nearby local park and they'll play. I like that the nursery have lots of objectives relating to outdoor time, nature connection and so on and isn't overly formal in learning direction. The cook Simon puts a lot of effort into the cooking and the menu and exposure to healthy food. Management are quick to answer via both the app and email/calls. I'm happy she feels safe there. We'll be sending her brother when I return to work too. Some real effort was put into making Christmas special!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. we delighted to hear you have had such a great experience.
Its a wonderful nursery with amazing staff. My little boy has a wonderful time each day doing new and fun things and playing with his friends. He always comes home with stories to tell and a big smile. He can't wait to go the next day, they even have him eating food I can't get him to touch at home.

I took my children out of another nursery because I wanted them to be at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery Burnage. I have an amazing relationship with all staff, including the manager, who is understanding and supportive. The facilities are lovely and garden space is amazing! All staff are attentive, friendly and we all have a great relationship. Very clean and what's great is you can go inside to collect your child unlike other nurseries, who make you wait outside when collecting your child and this is a massive factor for me, they have nothing to hide as the environment is always very positive. Thank you to all staff at Brighter Beginnings Burnage. Well done and keep up the fantastic teamwork you all do!
This is lovely to hear. Thank you so much for all your support!
We could not be happier with this nursery since our son started in August 2024, just before his first birthday. The staff are super friendly, warm and welcoming. We were offered an amazing settling-in period, sessions over a two-week period. This really helped us both increase our confidence....
Nursery has helped us out last minute when we were short of childcare on a day we don't have a space and we are so thankful that they try to accommodate this where they can.
When we drop-off and pick-up, all the staff wave and sing 'hello' to my son, which lights up his face, he is so happy to attend and has developed so much in their care.
Well done to the whole team for creating such a beautiful environment for young children, I'm not sure what else any parent could ask for.
We are so happy that you feel this way about the nursery. We love having him here and so proud of how much he has come on with his development!
Ever since my daughter started at Brighter Beginnings she has loved every day. Her development has come on so much, within 4 weeks she is hitting her goals. She comes home with a massive smile on her face, it's all we ever wanted from a nursery. The staff are gorgeous and care for all her needs!

Our son has attended this nursery for a year and a half and we couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. The staff look after the children with kindness and provide a fun and stimulating environment. We couldn’t be happier with Brighter Beginnings and would make the same choice to send our child here again in a heartbeat.
Daughter settled in very quickly and loves the staff. Very welcoming and easy to talk to. We had some issues initially with our daughter being given food we'd asked to avoid (not allergy-related), but new management resolved this quickly. Would highly recommend the nursery to any parents.

I began settling my little girl at the nursery and it was a great experience, the girls were really understanding of my worries when leaving her. The staff helped me feel comfortable throughout the settling sessions whilst leaving my 11-month-old daughter. The manager was really welcoming and answered any queries I had. The staff seem really happy and ensured there were things for the children to explore. I am looking forward to my little girl continuing her journey and making progress whilst being here.
I feel the staff have been fantastic with regards to our son, the communication is vital from staff to parents and it's always a main aspect of helping your child develop and progress. I/we cannot thank them enough for the progress of our son since he first walked through the door.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
