Day Nurseries Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in Scottish Borders

It's clear that the team genuinely cares about the children's wellbeing and development. We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing place for our child - we couldn't recommend Busy Bees highly enough!

The food seems to be great, and the shared areas always clean and tidy which can be no mean feat with the number of small bus people to clear up after

The support around my 2yo granddaughter's start at Busy Bees Melrose couldn't have been better. All staff were unfailingly friendly and showed that they had time to feed back at the end of every session. And best of all, my granddaughter has settled quickly and is loving being there. Thanks to everyone involved - I would 100% recommend Busy Bees to anyone in the area!

We always have a great experience with Busy Bees Melrose. Our daughter loves her days there, she always has loads of fun and really enjoys all the activities they do. The rooms are really well equipped for the age ranges and really encourage exploring and learning through play. The staff are lovely and super helpful. They are always available to chat to and willing to support if/when it is required. Menu always sounds great as well!

My child has attended busy bees Melrose nursery for a year and a half now and we love it as a family. As a former nursery worker myself, I have never seen such a beautiful facility and a wonderful selection of staff. They are always focusing on the next way to fully develop the nursery, every room is equipped well, with access to a lovely sensory/sound room. My child, who hasn't always enjoyed watching mum and dad go off to work, has been well comforted, her skills have been developed and she comes home happy and content. The meals have always been so delicious and healthy, my child eats pretty much every bit. The warm fairy lights up around the room makes the place feels extra homely and children have clear easy access to everything, if needed. The outdoor garden feels secure and private with an arrange of equipment. If any nursery deserves to be recognised for it's brilliance, attention to detail and caring atmosphere, it is this one. We will miss it when school comes

The staff at busy bees have always been kind and respectful, they genuinely seem to take an interest in our childs development and encourage them to following their interests. The food the nursery provides is healthy, well balanced, and must be very tasty since our daughter always seems to finish it all (how do they do it?). Our child seems very comfortable in the staffs care, which shows especially at the end of the day as they always seem happy and content while being picked up. Yes, happy with the nursery, huge thumbs up to them and their outstanding setting. Certainly exceeds our expectations as a family

I have over the years recommended the nursery to others!

They did a wonderful Christmas event for the children at a weekend and also a lovely lights switch on which felt very special. I am so pleased my daughter attends, the learning is clearly focussed and planned but also fun for the child and she is blossoming under their care. I feel happy dropping her off and picking her up. Thank you so much to the team for all your hard work.

My daughter started attending Busy Bees Melrose in January 26. Naturally both of us were a little nervous but the staff did everything possible to put us at ease. They put regular information on the app and a few updates to ensure we knew she was loving it. They are brilliant and getting her in in the morning and so far I have loved my experience there, as has my daughter. I am sure that will continue as they strive to make a friendly environment for both parent and child. X

Our son is so happy at Busy Bees Melrose. He had a great relationship with the staff and his friends. He loves going in and frequently doesn't want to leave to come home, which as a parent makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he's happy.

Nutrition is first class.

Since starting in August 2025, our daughter has came on leaps and bounds. Her confidence has improved and her general interactions with both kids and adults has really developed. The activities she takes part in, encourage her to learn and grow and she loves telling us about them and replicating them at home. She's been able to try a variety of different activities and her interests are really supported. I can't recommend the staff and facility enough. We recently had another child and the staff at Melrose have been 100% supportive in helping our first child welcome her sibling. The transition has been seamless.

I was very anxious about enrolling my daughter to nursery but it's the best decision I made. She loves the nursery and all the staff. It's so comforting to see her so excited to go. I am so glad I chose busy bees.

The staff at Busy Bees nursery have been fantastic looking after our grandson's needs, they are all so helpful and look after him so well. He has flourished over the last few months and that is down to the care and encouragement he receives everyday at the nursery.

We have had excellent service for our son a busy bees nurseries Melrose! He is very content and happy to be there. The staff are nurturing , caring and well trained in all aspects of their roles. We would highly recommend to all friends and family.

I feel really happy leaving my son in their care, knowing they will be looking after him so well.

Our experience at busy bees Melrose has been fantastic, our little boy has additional needs and when I say the team at Melrose have been the best I mean it, from knowing on days he won't eat certain foods and always ensuring there's other foods there to offer him, getting time out in the office for a play on the spinning chair or extra time out in the garden which seems to have been his happy place. I had a giggle one day as I went to hand my son over to one of the girls in the room when he clocked his favourite worker behind her, that was him full of smiles and didn't look back for me. Seeing these relationships form between him and the staff has been beautiful and we are forever grateful to them all for these memories. The app they have is very reassuring and is updated daily on all the information from the day and the odd picture is lovely to receive especially when your child's ASN. A smile can speak so much more than words can.

Super grateful and reinforces we absolutely picked the right place for him.

There are also lots of innovative practices like the donation station at the front door for food, utilities and toys which parents can take if they need to.

Fully recommend this nursery. So happy I picked here.
