About this day nursery

Busy Kids Day Nursery, located in Denton, Manchester, has been a trusted childcare provider since 1988, operating as part of the CSCL Childcare Group. The nursery prioritises offering flexible sessions to accommodate the varied schedules of modern parents.

They are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages children to explore, learn, and develop. The dedicated and qualified staff implement the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, focusing on child-led learning and individual development.

Each child is assigned a key person who acts as the main point of contact for parents, plans activities tailored to the child's interests, and maintains their personal development file. The nursery strongly believes in fostering strong parent partnerships, welcoming discussions and parent involvement.

They also offer complimentary settling-in sessions to ensure a smooth transition for new children and their families, tailoring the process to each child's unique needs. All fees are inclusive of meals and drinks, though parents are requested to provide nappies and formula milk for babies.

The nursery also offers a holiday club for children of Reception age and older. Staff regularly undergo training in first aid, safeguarding, and continuous professional development.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the same opportunities as their peers. They adapt the curriculum to help them acquire new skills, and parents of children with SEND are delighted with the progress their children have made.

Outdoor space

Children use their ‘listening ears’ and decide when it is safe to cross the road as they walk to the local park. Staff supervise children closely and keep them in sight at all times on outings.
