Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Forres Street from R L (Father of Child) published on 5 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has attended this nursery for over a year and has absolutely loved every minute. She started off a little shy, but her confidence has grown so much and she's always excited to go in each day. She loves the messy play, outdoor activities and walks, and it's lovely seeing everything she gets up to through the app updates. The transition into Bumbles was made so easy, and the staff really took the time to get to know her as an individual. Everyone is so approachable, friendly and welcoming, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to any parent looking for a caring, happy environment for their child.

Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Broughton from Z O (Mother of Child) published on 29 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Lovely nursery, and all the girls in baby room are just fantastic, so caring and patient! My little one loves going there and mentions all their names at home. She's looked after very well and is learning a lot from the staff and her friends. I rated learning as 4, because I don't have too much info on what exactly the learning plan is, but I know they do a lot with kids: sand play, water play, painting, songs and loads of fun activities. I only rated food as 4 because food given to kids at nursery is great and varied with really good nutritious options and veggie dishes as well. I just wish there was no pasta or bread or things like this which I don't give my kid at home. They are really good for tailoring meals to my little ones dairy and soya intolerance.

Overall really lovely staff, and management is super responsive and friendly as well! Couldn't recommend more.

Overall Experience

I would recommend Busy Bees Newhaven to anyone looking for a warm friendly and encouraging environment for their child. My daughter has been going for just over 2 months now and she can't wait to go in every morning. The staff in the Bombo room are brilliant and really make the whole experience second to none for her.

Review of Busy Bees Newhaven from Jodi M (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were obviously nervous about sending our young first child to nursery, however the staff at Busy Bees made the transition really smooth and welcoming for our daughter who absolutely loves her nursery days. The staff are great with our daughter, she loves the great variety of food provided, has an attachment to the staff in Bombos room and enjoys the variety of play and outings. I've been really pleased with Newhaven Busy Bees over the last two months an enjoy the updates via the app and ability to get in touch this way quickly.

Review of Busy Bees Newhaven from Sophie L (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are really happy with the care our daughter receives at this Busy Bees Newhaven. Our daughter has only been going for a short time but greets staff with a smile on her face each day which is always reassuring. We love how much garden time our daughter gets, and the occasional walk in the surrounding area. The staff are brilliant, they put a lot of effort into coming up with activities and getting to know the little ones. They seem to really care. We are very appreciative of the amount of feedback received each day. The Busy Bees app is great, with updates on how our daughter is getting on each day.

Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Park from R G (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It's an amazing place for a little seedling to be at. The staff is quite friendly and approachable at all times. So you would always get the confidence that your child is in right hands. There is nothing that I dislike about this nursery. My child is going from last 2.5 years now and have no complaints.

Only suggestion I have is that the activities could be targeted better for each day rather than clubbing all in one or two days of the week. Overall very happy with the way things are being managed at this specific branch of Busy Bee's at Edinburgh Park. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is still double minded about where to send their little dumpling.

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery! My daughter loves all the activities including art (they have an artist of the month thru learn about) and the wee explorers club where they learn about animals. She's always happy to go and tell me about what she's been up to on her way home. Lovely, caring staff too.

Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Park from Paulina R (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've been clients of this nursery for nearly two years and are very happy with our experience. The facilities are bright, clean, and well equipped, with three lovely outdoor gardens in a safe area. Free parking makes drop-off and pick-up easy.
The teachers are caring and attentive, and the admin team is friendly and organised. Our child needs specific care for her skin condition, and the staff consistently support her routine with great attention. They have also been very supportive with potty training, working with us to keep things consistent.
The activities are engaging and varied, and the chef provides excellent, nutritious food.
One small suggestion: last December, we wish all children had the chance to see Santa, not only those attending on certain dates.

Overall, we highly recommend this nursery.

Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Park from S O (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at the nursery In September of last year. I was initially anxious I had never left my son alone with anyone but family or friends. I was completely reassured by the staff and so glad I made the decision to keep my son here. The team are all great and my son has had an amazing time whilst here

Excellent caring staff, very flexible when they can be too. My daughter raves about the food she eats and she certainly eats well!

She brings home lots of art and tell stories of a wise and varied set of learning experiences.

Overall Experience
We've had such a lovely experience with Busy Bees.It's a warm, friendly, and safe environment for children. From the very beginning, the staff made both us and our child feel so welcome and comfortable. Team were incredibly supportive during the settling-in period which immediately gave us confidence that our child would be in safe hands. Communication with parents is excellent. We really appreciate the regular updates and feedback about our child's day

We'd definitely recommend it to other parents.

Review of Busy Bees Newhaven from Anup C (Father of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees Newhaven provides a truly welcoming and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel at ease. All staff greets with genuine warmth and kindness every time, creating an atmosphere that instantly feels safe and comforting. All staff are always attentive, approachable, and clearly dedicated to the children's wellbeing, which gives us great confidence as a parent. The team puts a lot of care into planning on different daily activities that help children develop new skills while still having plenty of fun. Another fantastic aspect is the Busy Bee app, which is incredibly helpful. It's great being able to see updates, photos, and little notes about our child every few hours. It gives such peace of mind and helps us feel connected to their day, even when we're not there.

Since our boy has started at Busy Bees Newhaven he has grown, developed and flourished beyond what we thought possible.
All staff from centre director to room workers are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

There was a billing issue recently and the nursery supported resolution without any fuss contacting head office and recitifying the situation.

Overall Experience

We couldn't ask for a better nursery experience for our little boy. The level of care and attention he receives is second to none and it is clear that staff really know and understand our child's needs. Activities vary day to day for him and the baby room in which he spends his time is so welcoming and cozy. I would recommend this nursery to anyone !

Review of Busy Bees Newhaven from Klaudia M (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. My daughter goes in every morning with a big smile on her face, which says everything about how comfortable and happy she feels there.
Her development has been absolutely amazing - we've seen such wonderful progress in her confidence, communication, and overall learning. It's clear how much care and effort the team put into supporting each child's growth.
I also really appreciate the detailed feedback we receive about her day. We're always kept well informed about what she's been doing, what she's learned, and how she's been feeling. It gives us so much reassurance as parents.

Thank you to the whole team for creating such a warm, nurturing, and positive environment. We truly couldn't ask for more!

Overall Experience

The nursery was so helpful when we wanted to start potty training our son, before his little sister arrived they were also AMAZING with helping our son to get ready/excited to be a big brother. We will always bee so thankful to the Bumbles staff & the Director (Marie) for their support and exceptional care of our son.

Review of Busy Bees Edinburgh Park from E B (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the moment I was greeted at my show round to the moment I left I felt welcomed by the staff any questions I had were answered the atmosphere of the nursery was calming. It was lovely to see the staff interacting with the children with activities but also seeing how they cared for the children during nap time was great.
I felt the nursery was very clean and warm in temperature.
Following from that at the beginning of the settling in sessions I felt I was not judged for any of my parenting choices I made for my child and the nursery have been great in accommodating any changing needs or wants they have.

Overall I'm glad I chose this setting for my child to be cared in.
