Day Nursery Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in Scottish Borders

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.

the children's interests. The food is freshly prepared daily and is varied and nutritious. The outside spaces for each room have different spaces where the children can engage in multiple activities and have lots of fun. They are given the chance to go outside daily; even in the best Scottish weather!
There is also a separate room with sensory spaces and a huge sand pit which the children can explore in small groups with staff members. Our middle son is autistic and he loved this space when he attended nursery here.
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.

together so that there is a community within the centre.
The ladies are caring and show genuine interest in what my child wants to do and areas for growth.
The centre director is responsive, understanding, caring and reliable.
The communication from the room is definitely improving, especially with the new app. The online booking system via the app really works for us. I have and would recommend to families. It's more expensive than other places but I'm very happy with the centre.

contribute to her learning.

all meals and snacks which are freshly prepared on the premises and this really relives a lot of stress of meal prepping. Both my children have gone to busy bees Melrose and I cannot recommend them enough.

loves spending time in. They've recently got a new app so we are up to date with the fun activity for the day and what tasty snacks are on the menu for that day.
Facilities are all fairly new, well serviced and it feels like a nice place to drop my child for the day. They are always updating the rooms to keep things interesting for everyone.
Fully recommend this nursery. So happy I picked here.

They have supported our child in trying to broaden his diet also.

weather isn't too bad. They always have nutritious, well-balanced meals that are prepared on-site. The management team are very supportive and helpful and well-organised. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Melrose.

The staff know my son extremely well and I can see how much they all care for him. The experiences shared on the app are wonderful, where they track his learning, I love that I can look back on him in the baby room and compare to now. The staff have gone out of their way over the years to help myself and my son with transitions, dietary issues and with things we have needed support with at home. The manager and her staff team are always so happy to see you, you can feel the love the moment you come through the door. We are very grateful for Busy Bees Melrose for helping our little boy be the curious and loving boy he is today, setting him up with the best start in life, truly.

job with my son's progress and we are very pleased with the care and love they show him. Our son loves Busy Bees and he is always cheerful to go back.
We highly recommend Busy Bees Melrose for any parent who is looking for peace of mind knowing that their child is best cared for.

is very nurturing. Always seem attentive to the needs of the children as individuals and do a variety of activities plus plenty of outdoor time. The fact that it is all-inclusive means it is extremely convenient for a busy working parent. Could not recommend it highly enough!

of food for the kids. She has really enjoyed her time in Busy Bees and I would definitely recommend this nursery to other.

They’ve accommodated us and never made us feel as though any of our questions are silly. We’re always given a full rundown at the end of the day about how he’s been and they are always so pleased to see him. I feel as though it is a proper little community and I’m so glad that we can be part of it.

just wouldn’t have their energy, let alone the imagination to do with him.
He is outside almost every day playing in the sandbox or in wigwams made out of branches which he really loves. He eats really well and the staff are excellent at getting him to try new things but don’t seem stressed when he doesn’t want to eat things and will give him something else instead. I don’t think we could be any happier with it, thanks to everyone there.
