“Due to being born just before lockdown, Lydia hadn't been around many people when she first started, and was a very anxious baby with new people. Since starting I've noticed a huge improvement in how well she settles now with different people, the Famly system is great, keeping us up to do date. Fantastic nursery, thank you to all the staff.”

“My sons absolutely loved it!! Neither of them are climbers and don’t like normal soft play as they can’t access it so to have all areas of the soft play be accessible was amazing! We didn’t need to assist them in their play at all, they could do it all themselves.”

“Treetops were absolutely amazing. They couldn’t do more for us. It was a truly amazing stress feee evening for my family and friends. We had a birthday party for my middle son and they were just so helpful. They were very inclusive too. They kept checking everything was okay for me as I am a visually challenged parent. And, they made sure my son who has to use a wheelchair was involved in the party too. I will definitely be choosing tree tops for my next party. Thank you so much.”

“Had an excellent brief visit here on the way to the Lake District. A well run, little soft play. We had a blast and will certainly be back again! Go when it's not busy and your little one will love it even more! ☺️”

“Looking for a nursery for your child is one of the most stressful and worrying times, especially if your child like ours has a medical condition. OI is basically brittle bone disease, so nursey setting had to be right. After visiting a few nurseries we had almost given up hope, then The yellow door came up and it was the best decision to send our son here. It's like home from home, staff are informative and nursery settings are natural and beautiful. Risk assessments took place and support offered was amazing, he has grown in confidence and development. So happy we made the right choice .”

“We had a wonderful experience using space station for our son. They supported my son and I throughout meetings for a speech delay and worked with him when he picked up basic sign language.

We have just left to start school nursery and we will miss them loads my son was always happy to attend once he had settled in. Thank you”

I have a daily report on how she has been and what she has been up to. They have really helped with her developmental and Identifying the areas she is doing well in and challenging her to make sure she is always learning and progressing. The management team always have time for any questions or queries that I have, no matter how big or small they are.”

“As a primary school teacher the education, nurturing environment and care of the nursery provider we chose was so important. After visiting a few nurseries locally it was clear within seconds of meeting Nursery manager Sarah I wanted my daughter to go to Educare. It was a very simple choice also after being made to feel welcome to visit anytime we wanted without an appointment. After nursery did so much to help out eldest daughter to settle in, when the time came we enrolled our second child without hesitation. Best decisions we've made in their short but precious lives.”

“I can not recommend Baby Boom enough! From starting baby massage when my daughter was just 5 weeks old, 6 months later we love coming every week. Such a calm class, with lots of sensory, helps with my girls trapped wind, and you get to enjoy a HOT drink at the end of it! Yes a drink that is actually still hot ;). I was an incredibly anxious new mum, but the girls and other mums are so friendly and welcoming, I don’t know what I would do without this place.”

“My daughter easily adjusted in the nursery I like the way staff handle the kids there very cooperative teachers nice environment for kids Thanks to aqsa she deals the people in good way”

“Sandy Lane nursery is the most amazing nursery. The staff are so lovely with a genuine interest in your child, the outside is very very spacious with lots and lots for the children to do. The visits to the forest is my sons favourite. They always keep you up to date with any activities etc that is going on and always keep you informed of what your child has been doing throughout the day, regularly sending you pictures. Thank you Sandy Lane for being so amazing.”

“Ad a first time mum there was so much I didn't know about registering and getting my child ready for nursery. Sadina (hopefully spelt that correctly) was so helpful. On the ohone and such a positive and warm welcome into a new experience for myself and what my child will soon be facing. Thank you very much!”

“My little boy LOVES this nursery. Everyday he is excited to go. They have an amazing garden one of the best in the area. It is no suprise why this nursery is rated OUTSTANDING by ofsted. Lots of activities such as foot ball, yoga, phonics and nursery rhymes just what every child loves. The staff are amazing and have helped my son come on leaps and bounds since he started. Lee is a credit to the nursery and absolutely fabulous with zachary. My little boy talks about him so much as well as dawn. I will be sad when my little boy starts school and no longer attends here as he loves it that much. I was worried when he first started about leaving him but there was no need as each and every member of staff goes above and beyond to make the children feel settled and welcomed. I would not hesitate in using this nursery for any future children. Thank you for providing a wonderful nursery.”

“My daughter has been attending bright futures nursery since she started in the baby room and absolutely loves it. She has a very strong relationship with all the staff within her room, especially her key worker. She always comes home telling myself and her daddy lots of lovely stories about what she has been doing during the day. My daughter gets daily messages which we love to read about at the end of the day too. We also have another baby on the way and in the future will definitely be attending this nursery. Brilliant nursery with staff who are so friendly and who you can trust.”

“This Nursery is the best nursery in Bury by far. All 3 of my children have attended here for a number of years, the staff are amazing and the most friendliest of people, always helpful. My children have been cared for very well here and learnt a lot and grown to become amazing individuals because they got the best start to their life and learning journey. Definitely highly recommended.”

“My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting at bright stars, he’s so happy and sociable while he’s at nursery. The girls are amazing with him and it’s obvious he loves it there. I am always updated with what he’s done during that day and eaten. They are also very accommodating with my last minute shifts and booking days. I can’t thank you all enough for looking after and loving him how we do at home! Xx”

“Excellent service in the shop even at high volume times. Although the shop is small its very well organised and the staff really know thier product. The website is a great addition, really user friendly and simple to navigate around. We ordered to pick up from the shop just before the schools went back so right in the middle of the mad uniform rush with no delay to the order being ready.”
