Day Nursery Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in West Lothian

had a good day, has eaten and napped well. They really do cater for the individual interests of the child.

on the app as there are not that many. As parents, it’s great to see as we miss the moments of them playing/smiling.

and medical requirements for my son and made sure these were always adhered to.
I must mention that the nursery's efforts to continue providing care and support to the children during the Covid pandemic were truly commendable. It provided a lot of comfort to me and my wife knowing that our son was in safe hands during such a challenging time.
I would like to extend a special thanks to one of the early years educators, who was my son's main carer when he started. She was always there to offer guidance and support, not only for my son but for us as parents as well. We are really grateful for her efforts and the impact she has had on our son's life.

or snacked on. Great variety of meals on a daily basis. Different activities each day and halloween season seems a lot of fun. The simple things like getting your child to pick their name out the bowl each morning get's my son ready for the start of another fun day, full of activities and learning.

extra day here or there. It is with a heavy heart that I have to remove her from the nursery. My little one’s development has come on leaps and bounds since joining Busy Bees and she loves being around other people despite being a ‘lockdown pandemic baby’. She cannot wait to get there in a morning and sometimes is reluctant to come home with me since she loves the nursery so much! I would definitely highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for great childcare.

he has been brought up, but please be assured that Busy Bees had a large impact on his development. Their care, input and support have helped and encouraged our grandson to become the exceptional young boy he is. Our younger grandson who is now two, has been attending Busy Bees for over a year. The first thing I would highlight is that as the oldest moved on, we felt strong enough about the care he received to entrust another grandson to them. The staff are very child-focused and the overall setup of Busy Bees allows the young ones to play, interact and develop in a secure, structured and individual way. Five stars without question.

into the nursery during covid. It would be good to have more parents evenings if possible.

that on a number of occasions our son had been given high sugar foods of no nutritional value (e.g. ice lollies) that did not appear on the menu. We are happy to give our son treats, but in my opinion, this is not a nursery's place to offer these foods.

We also found the communication very poor. This may be a result of COVID, however, a year on there is no improvement in communication with parents. The app used updates you on food and nappy changes with the rare observation, however, there is virtually no update on how your child got on that day or about any difficulties. Emails are also not responded to. As a result, I find it very difficult to rate this nursery on the items.

with her key workers and the other children which gives us parents the comfort we need! A really lovely and well-managed nursery!

this nursery and I could not recommend it enough!

during difficult times and it was very clear that the safety of their staff and children was always a top priority.
My children enjoy the nursery very much, I can see the positive impact it’s had on their development and learning. They are outgoing, confident and have many friends they love to tell us about.
I’d highly recommend Busy Bees to anyone considering private childcare.

and always caring towards our daughter.

a situation it was and did all they could to accommodate me and my daughter in welcoming her to nursery life. Since then, she really has come on leaps and bounds, and I know that the nursery has played a big part in her development too. The app is brilliant in letting us know what she has eaten and how she has napped, so we can plan the rest of her day after we pick her up too. The staff are excellent and go above and beyond; you can see how much she enjoys her time with them. Picking the right nursery was a scary process as you want the best for your child, and it is so reassuring to know she is so well looked after whilst I and my husband are working.
