We are so happy with this nursery and cannot praise them highly enough. The love and care of all the members of the team shown towards the children, is so lovely, they really do treat them like their own. My daughter started going to nursery from 10 months old and she has learnt so much and come on
so far. She absolutely loves going and gets excited to see her key workers every morning. The staff are genuinely interested in the children and their lives outside of nursery, always prompting the parents to share what they get up to at the weekends and their interests and hobbies outside of nursery.
The food provided sounds incredible (we are slightly jealous!) and it has encouraged our daughter to be a great little eater. Honestly, we are so happy we made the decision to send her to Busy Bees, Stratford Court and would recommend it to everyone.

My daughter currently attends Busy Bees, Stratford Court. She absolutely loves it there. The nursery is immaculate, the staff are friendly and my child is importantly, very happy. She has attended for around 12 months now and has come on so much, her speech and social skills are excellent. They've made
minor improvements to how they communicate with parents over this time and I think we get a thorough understanding of how our children are doing. Really pleased and would definitely recommend.

The team at Busy Bees at Stratford Court have been great for our children. They have made them both feel welcome, comfortable and cared for and so as a result we're delighted this is where they attend. The nursery was recently (over a year ago) taken over by Busy Bees and as parents, we were naturally
apprehensive about the change. However, the transition was fairly smooth and the new management were great. We're more than happy to be a part of the Busy Bees family!

My son has been at nursery a year now and he has loved it from the minute he started (at 6 months old). The staff are so attentive and caring plus with his allergy there is a procedure in place and I've no worries. It may sound cliche but nursery have become a second family - I 100% recommend (and have
done to a friend).

We have had nothing but a positive experience using Busy Bees for childcare. The staff are all professional and we always feel that our child is going to receive excellent care. The management team have been wonderful during the pandemic. They have kept us updated plus been happy to change nursery days
at short notice. Our son has been extremely happy at Busy Bees at Stratford Court. We would highly recommend it.

My second child is here now after her brother attended until August 2020. Welcoming and professional staff. Sensible about minor illnesses/injuries. Do some really nice activities with children i.e. painting, reading, singing, dancing.

Overall I am very happy with the decision to take my son to Manor Hill. It really is, by my reckoning, one of the best nurseries in the Solihull area. My son grows attached to certain staff members so it is disappointing when they leave. Two particular members of staff are wonderful, supportive and
understanding. You can see that they love children, hence why they are in their roles. I don't always see this in the individual classes.

The staff at Manor Hill are amazing. When I collect my boy I get such thorough feedback on how his day has been and what he has been up to. My boy also comes home each time learning something new in his day there. Very welcoming and lovely staff and my son loves it here.

Manor Hill Day Nursery is a lovely, engaging environment for my little boy. All the staff are friendly, helpful and eager to support my child to settle, join in activities and learning opportunities. They communicate really well, face to face as well as through Parentzone so I know exactly what my little
boy has been doing. I'm so pleased we chose Manor Hill and I'm sure my son will enjoy each room as he grows.

My daughter, who is 3-years-old, has attended Manor Hill Day Nursery for the last 6 months. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the children adore them. The facilities, rooms, equipment, food and activities provided are of the highest standard. It is
also a very clean, safe, secure and welcoming environment. My daughter has developed so much in the last 6 months. Thanks to the support and advice from the staff she is now fully toilet trained, full of confidence and has the most amazing manners. My daughter comes home with new skills each day which amazes me and I feel she has developed an advanced foundation of skills and knowledge that will be an asset to her when she starts school next year.

Amazing nursery, genuine staff who are very hands on with the children. They want the best for them and strive to get the best out of them. My son has learnt and grown so much here as a result of the commitment of the staff. The nursery has a lovely safe environment for them to learn and grow - and
they have lots of fun activities and messy play regularly. Couldn’t fault this nursery or anyone in it. I’ve had two children here and my third will definitely attend too. I can’t say enough thanks for the care they have given!

Big Thank You to everyone in the teenies room for looking after my son. He’s loving nursery at the moment and when we mention the names of the staff in the room he has a big smile on his face. I feel so reassured when I’m at work that he’s being looked after. Thank you.

I recently joined the nursery by registering both my children here. I booked an open day and this was with the nursery manager who was brilliant. After this tour and being made aware of what this nursery offers, I immediately decided this was right for my children.
They offer freshly cooked meals,
halal meat and lots of fruit. They do many activities which are great. One noticeable factor was that the nursery was extremely clean. It smelt fresh. I have visited many nurseries and they seemed to have a potent bad smell.
I was able to register very quickly. I was contacted for settling in days and both kids are happy as am I and dad.

I have both of my children currently at that nursery and I am really happy with everything.
The staff is very friendly, the meals are really fine. My sons are always very happy when I fetch them in the afternoon.
They are doing plenty of activities as Toddler Tennis and Zumba.
I would strongly recommend
it to friends.
