Overall Experience

My daughter has been studying here for 2 years, she has made huge progress in this period. The staff at the nursery are excellent they are very cooperative. I never felt uncomfortable when my daughter studies here. Every day they inform me about my daughter's activities and I really appreciate that. They always serve good food and drink to the children. My special thanks to the nursery management for their hard work. I hope they will continue in the future. I wish all the success of the Brighter Beginnings.

Review from Holly M (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is a very friendly place with so many great activities for children in order for them to enjoy themselves and further their learning and development. My daughter is a notoriously shy child who struggles to communicate with people other than me and her father and being at this nursery has enabled her to come out of her shell. She has learned so many words and good manners at the table and when playing with other children. She is clearly enjoying the experience and I cannot wait for her to be able to go in for more hours when she is 3. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, they managed the pandemic well, always wearing appropriate PPE when in contact with parents. As a key worker, I was grateful for still being able to go to work knowing that my daughter was in safe hands. Following a day at nursery, the friendly staff always give me a thorough handover about her day. If I could afford it, she would be there much more as it is a brilliant place for her to play and learn.

Review from Molly M (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attends this nursery Monday to Friday and she absolutely loves it here.
The staff are all so lovely and always have big smiles on their faces which makes you feel at ease.
What I really like is that every day my daughter comes out with something that she has done, from pictures to biscuits and little keepsakes which I personally think is so special.
All the staff go above and beyond here for the children and you can tell they care for each and every one.
Coming to this nursery my daughter has come so far from when she started, as before she came here she was very shy and didn’t want to leave my side and with all the help and support from the staff at the nursery, she is now a bright, confident, social little girl.
The nursery is lovely and clean and full of art and decorations for the children.

Would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing here and love the kids so well. They are friendly, kind and really help the kids play, explore and grow. The whole team have gone above and beyond this year and I have never had any worry sending my little one in. She has thrived and is thriving in this nursery and it has been a total God send this year. One thing that I noticed right from the get go is how the staff get down to the kids level and engage with them, speaking to them kindly and clearly, this impressed me from the off. It's a wonderful place.

Overall Experience

I have two daughters at Brighter Beginnings and since my 4 year old started in 2019, we have been really impressed with the way the nursery is run, the effort and thought that goes into the activities the kids take part in. Since the manager took over management at Brighter Beginnings Burnage I have felt very confident in the care and development of both my girls 4 and 18months. Both kids happily go into nursery and have always had action-packed days exploring different activities, messy play, painting, nature, physical exercise (lots of outdoor space), writing and numeracy. They have both thrived at Brighter Beginnings and have made great bonds with the staff and fellow children in their classes. When we have had issues (minor and rarely) I have felt welcomed and supported by the manager and the team, with them doing everything they can to problem solve and suggest strategies going forward. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery or preschool for their kids.

Overall Experience

Great friendly staff. Very helpful and kids love it. My kids wouldn't settle at all at first, now they're used to it they love it and enjoy going to nursery every day. I haven't had the chance to experience trips etc due to Covid restrictions but despite that nursery effort is great overall.

Review from Andrew B (Father of Child) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having sent both of my daughters to Brighter Beginnings Burnage, I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery. My 4-year old has developed strong communication and social skills, while thoroughly enjoying the wide range of subjects around which the nursery builds an imaginative and stimulating range of activities. I am consistently impressed by the new words and abilities my 1-year-old comes home with - she also doesn't even glance back at me when I drop her off at the door. They both come home tired and very happy from nursery, even when my elder daughter has been a bit challenging in the morning. Over the last 12 months, the managers and their excellent team have made nursery days exciting, fun, and educational for both my girls. They also get them to eat a wide range of foods, which is more than we can get them to do at home.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to nursery here and is always welcomed like a home from home. The staff are really kind and caring and look after her and take so much joy in chatting to her and following her interests. From day one she has settled so nicely and talks about all her teachers and her friends that she loves to play with. The managers are very flexible too and if I have to change days they are always really good and nothing is too much trouble. Over Covid it has been great to have the nursery looking after my girl with all the new safety and everything up to date. I would recommend this nursery as my daughter is so happy and settled there.

Overall Experience
My little boy started nursery at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Burnage. He was upset on his settles (to be expected). He’s never been to nursery before or been away from me for so long with people he doesn't know I was so nervous but this nursery is amazing! My little boy loves it there, the staff are professional, caring and attentive. I’ve seen the improvement in his social skills and he comes home with a new word or skill every day. The feedback from the staff is exceptional I feel like I’ve been in nursery with him and not missed out on his learning /growing.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at the nursery for making such an emotional, scary time into an exciting experience for me and my little one. You're doing amazing girls.

I’m extremely happy this was the nursery I choose for my little bundle of joy.

I recently put my just 2-year-old daughter in this nursery for one day a week. From the very first phone call enquiring to her now being in has been absolutely amazing. Every question answered without making me feel stupid for even asking basic questions haha. They made not just my daughter but myself feel welcome too. Gone above and beyond to help me with all my enquiries even for the future. Absolutely fab, very happy and will always recommend as my currently 9-year-old also went there when she was 2.

Thank you Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery, Burnage.

Overall Experience

Really happy with the setting and staff, happy, friendly vibes in and around nursery. Bright colourful displays, different themed tuff trays for parents to vote for on Facebook, nice outside areas. My son is a handful and the staff are fantastic towards him and he’s really happy. After taking a while to settle he is happy to go in so I know he enjoys. I’ve watched him without him knowing a few times and he’s always been happy. I know other mums that have been there past and present who have nothing but good things to say. I’ve also had to ask a few times for last-minute changes to days and hours and managers and the girls are so helpful and accommodating. Thank you Burnage ladies.

Overall Experience

Our son has been with Brighter Beginnings Nursery since August 2017, he has come on so much since being at this nursery. The staff are very friendly and my son has taken to them which is such a relief when you're a working mum. He really enjoys going there, they have lots of different activities for the children to do each day, and they give you a daily sheet of what your child has done that day, and what they have had to eat. They are very experienced in what they do, it shows, and the children who go there are very happy, as are the staff. If you have any issues with your child, they are happy to help work with you. I would highly recommend this nursery, to any parent, wanting to find a good friendly day nursery and who go that extra mile with your children.

Overall Experience
My child has been at this nursery for 8 months now and was very clingy to myself, now he has changed into a different little boy. He has a great relationship with all the staff here. When he first started he wouldn't take his coat off at all. Now its bye Mum as soon as he gets in. All the staff are very good, cant fault them.

I am very happy and content dropping my child off knowing he is absolutely fine all day while I am at work. Definitely recommend to other parents.

Review from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 16 month old is extremely happy and settled at Brighter Beginnings Day Nursery Burnage. The standard of care she receives from the staff is excellent. They are warm and friendly and give you the confidence you need to leave your child in someone else's care. Each child has a key worker and all staff are first aid trained.
The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of space for the children to play, but not too big to feel lost in. The snowflake room is for under 2's and has a little room for nap time that is cosy and warm with soft lighting.
The building is safe and secure whilst still providing lots of outside space for the children to explore.
The manager is great and has created a fun and creative place for a child to learn and grow.

I would certainly recommend Brighter Beginnings Burnage to anyone looking for an affordable and quality child care provider.

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
Leonie

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.
