About this day nursery

Busy Bees Day Nursery at Cheadle Hulme, established in 2015, provides childcare for children aged 0–4 years. 30pm, the nursery focuses on creating a safe and engaging environment where children confidently separate from their parents and happily enter.

The latest Ofsted inspection, on 19th May 2022, rated the nursery as 'Good' in overall effectiveness, highlighting effective practices across all areas. The curriculum offers a variety of activities tailored to children's needs, such as babies exploring flowers and citrus fruits in 'fragrant water' to develop vocabulary, and two-year-olds engaging with play dough to learn about food and cooking.

Staff expertly weave in interesting words like 'spatula' to expand children’s vocabulary. The nursery actively supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND); managers collaborate with professionals, using additional funding to implement specialist advice into individual support plans.

They attend multi-agency meetings to ensure actions are carried out, promoting children's welfare and progress. Outdoor learning is also a key component, with staff involving children in checking the outdoor area for hazards.

For children who speak English as an additional language (EAL), staff work with parents to learn important words in the children's home language, fostering communication and helping children learn about the rich diversity of modern Britain.

How they support every child

SEND provision

Managers work in partnership with other professionals and support staff to incorporate specialist advice into individual support plans for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They attend multi-agency meetings and ensure that agreed actions are carried out, using additional funding wisely to promote children's welfare and progress.

Outdoor space

Staff involve children in checking that the outdoor area is free from hazards, such as stagnant water.

EAL / language support

I'm very happy with Busy Bees nursery. The staff are lovely with my son. They keep me updated with his day via the app and also give me a rundown when I go to collect him. They have been helpful with his speech and language and have also helped my partner and I get our heads around the government funding. It's a lovely, safe nursery and to be recommended.

Busy Bees Cheadle Hulme Nursery is a wonderful place with which I am most excited to share my experience. The new manager Steph from day one has been extremely warm, caring and encouragingly productive that promotes the combined process of knowledge acquisition and enjoyment on the part of the children. This is evident through their patience, kindness, love for children that are real in every conversation. Thanks to Jenny’s thoughts and comprehensive approach our child is always eager to go there, while over time we have observed significant improvements in their confidence levels as well as social life. Steph talks clearly and in good time. They give us detailed accounts about our girl’s progress and they make a point of being accessible to discuss anything we might be worried about or have questions on. They demonstrate going an extra mile for each child so that all of them feel valued and supported.
