Busy Bees Melrose

Busy Bees Melrose is a fantastic nursery. They provide wonderful learning opportunities for my child and he genuinely loves being there. The staff are amazing and show each child care and affection while also ensuring they are learning how to be around others and how to handle emotions. They provide 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.

Our daughter joined the nursery last summer. She has settled in well, building relationships with the staff and looks forward to going each week. We love getting daily updates of her day on the app. We feel reassured knowing she's enjoying herself and keeping busy with a wide range of activities which contribute to her learning.

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.

There is always a great variety of activities for the children to do. They get a great amount of outdoor time too.

Our two little ones have both been at Busy Bees since they were very small and we've always been really happy with how well looked after they are. The staff have great relationships with the kids and are always devising fun and interesting activities for them. They spend lots of time outside when the 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 nursery staff have all been brilliant with our child and have worked with us to improve our child's behaviour and support him in becoming more mature and managing his feelings. Our child has been supported to develop and the staff have helped us with ideas and ways to help manage and general support. They have supported our child in trying to broaden his diet also.

Great nursery. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I know my child is in good hands when I drop him off at Busy Bees. He always has a good time and seems really happy to be there. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Melrose.

This nursery has a very friendly and safe environment. The children are offered plenty of choices regarding activities. The food is healthy and varied. The app is always updated and very useful and any questions are promptly answered by staff. Can't ask for more from this nursery. Five-star.

My son began at Busy Bees Melrose when he was just 5 months old, he is now almost 3 and loves coming to nursery to see his friends and all the staff. The nursery is like day and night since a member of staff began as manager last year. The environment is breathtakingly calm, beautiful and nurturing. 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.

My son has attended Busy Bees Melrose since he was nine months old - he is now three. In this time he has received nothing but outstanding care from everyone involved. Across the four different rooms, he has attended (as he has grown) the staff have all had the same high levels of professionalism and care. He has strong relationships with lots of the staff and loves going in every day. His development has also been encouraged at each stage. I’m really pleased with the decision we made when choosing Busy Bees.

We highly recommend Busy Bees Melrose for any parent who is looking for peace of mind knowing that their child is best cared for.

Both my husband and I are key workers for the NHS and we would not have been able to cope without the support and security we are provided by the staff at Melrose Busy Bees. Our eldest son attended before starting school last year and I can honestly say that the staff and facilities are amazing. They really take the time to get to know your children making the children happy and excited to attend nursery.

I chose Busy Bees at Melrose as it was very close to my workplace. We had a few settle sessions and they went very well. Staff have been very supportive of our daughter. There were regular updates about her progress, lots of time playing outdoors. They have great kitchen staff and offer a good variety of food for the kids. She has really enjoyed her time in Busy Bees and I would definitely recommend this nursery to other.

I can not recommend Busy Bees, Melrose highly enough. From the incredible staff to the lovely rooms and fantastic activities for the little ones, this nursery is absolutely wonderful. My little one is very small but the team take exceptional care of him and have been nothing but supportive and understanding. 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.

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.

All the staff at Busy Bees have been so cheerful, welcoming, attentive and loving, and have made us feel very special. My son thoroughly enjoys his days there with all the super facilities, activities and delicious, nutritious food! I can see he has a great rapport with the staff and has made friends with other children. He is a smiley happy boy. Thank you Busy Bees!

Fantastic, well equipped, friendly, helpful, approachable, kind, fun, accommodating nursery that I would highly recommend to anyone who asked. Can't fault the place. Loving having my wee one in the nursery and hoping she will be there until she is ready for school. Lovely staff and fantastic management make all the difference.

Fantastic nursery, extremely kind and helpful staff, my child has been there for over 2 years now and is unbelievable how much he has come on and could not think of any other childcare who could top it. We are given a run down each day of what he has done, eaten etc and little one always comes home saying how great his day has been. A+++ for this nursery.

I have two children here in different rooms. They are well looked after and always greeted by friendly and approachable staff. They mostly carry out our wishes regarding naps/meals/medications and give good feedback on how the children are doing.

My only issue is parents having to pay fees on days when the nursery makes the decision to close eg bank holidays, snow days, when the boiler was broken. I think this policy should be revised.
