Busy Bees Edinburgh Park

Our two year old has been at this nursery for a year now and I've been really impressed all round. The setup of the nursery is good, they have the kids outside lots when it's dry which I love, they do lots of activities, and the food is very varied. The staff in the Bombo 2 room also helped us with potty training which we really appreciate. The team lead in the room was especially helpful, aiming to replicate home setup as much as possible and suggested using stickers as a reward as they recognised our son really likes stickers - we started doing this at home too and I believe this method of positive reinforcement helped with his potty training journey. Thanks to everyone in Bombo 2 - you've been amazing!

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, we highly recommend this nursery.

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

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.

The nursery is absolutely fantastic, my wee boy gets so much opportunity to do things we wouldn't do at home. The staff are very friendly and take the time to get to know him which helps with drop offs and to allow me to know he's in a great place and I'm working

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

My child joined Busybees in August 2025 just before their first birthday and as a first time mum I was very anxious about leaving my child with others that I didn't know. My mind was completely put at ease following a tour and the arranged settle sessions. Our experience so far has been fantastic, the staff are great and I love the progress reports and updates recieved via the app. Our little one has grown and learned so much already with the guidance and support from her teachers. Would 100% recommend this nursery to others.

Great nursery, my son seems to have a great time when he's there. The settling in process was better than I had expected it to be having spoken to some friends about their experiences for their children starting at other nurseries and it didn't feel fast/rushed at all. Staff are great at communicating whether in person, over the phone or using the app - the app is also great and it's great being able to keep updated with his meals, naps etc through the day. He eats so well and the menu is always full of healthy meals with such a good variety.

I've had my son in the Edinburgh Park Busy Bees nursery since last June and have to say I've seen him grow well. While things were great when we started, I've definitely seen a recent surge and change since Marie started. She has been really generous and helpful with our son. I absolutely love her can-do approach and she strives to make things happen. Its through her hard work that I feel Busy Bees has transformed to a different level. Keep up the good work to all the lovely staff!

My daughter is currently attending this nursery, and I have been very impressed with the room she is in at the moment. The staff have taken the time to really get to know her, and their support has made the transition from her previous room smooth and reassuring. It's clear they genuinely care about the children, and this has helped her settle in brilliantly.

The nursery app is a useful tool for keeping parents updated and provides a good overview of how children have been throughout the day. However, it could be even more effective if updates on day-to-day activities were a little more consistent, as there are occasions when some details are missed.

Overall, we are very happy with the care and support provided, and with a few improvements to the app updates, the experience would be excellent.

5 stars indeed!

Our little one has been at Edinburgh Park Busy Bees for almost a year now and loves it. We are delighted with the care provided and the communication is always great. Our little one especially loves to be outside which is encouraged and we love seeing the photos and updates of what the little ones have been up to. Would definitely recommend.

Nice staff. Good range of activities and foods for the kids. I feel my child is well looked after. Would recommend.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Edinburgh Park Nursery for almost 2 years and he absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and always give good feedback at the end of the day. The nursery was refurbished recently so all is nice and fresh. The app used by the nursery is also great and gives real-time updates. I highly recommend this nursery.

Our children are at the Busy Bees Edinburgh Park Day Nursery.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 5 months old and now he is 2 years old. It is a nice place, with very friendly staff who are always welcoming and smiling. The app is great for keeping track of what my son has had to eat and what activities he is doing.

Our daughter has just moved into the Toddler room but has been attending since around 10 months. The staff were excellent in making her feel at ease during the room transitions and ensure she is progressing with her development. She has developed great relationships with all the staff who take the time to really get to know the child. She loves the different day-to-day activities which are always varied and is especially enjoying the larger toddler garden. Unfortunately, the nursery location does slightly limit outdoor experience however they do visit the ducks at the lochlets. Feedback on the app can be intermittent on busy days but you get a rundown of the day at pick-up. Older sister just went to school this year after coming through the nursery. The preschool area upstairs underwent a beautiful refurbishment however, due to COVID restrictions and a roof issue, parents have been unable to visit the new area which has been disappointing.

My daughter joined Busy Bees, Edinburgh Park in January and it’s been fantastic since she joined! She absolutely adores going to nursery to see her teachers and friends. I feel at ease when she’s there because I know she’s in the best hands and having an amazing time! Her teachers show her love, care and attention that she would get at home which a think is so special. I have noticed a huge improvement in her speech, we can collect her from nursery and she will tell us in full detail on all the fun and everything she’s learnt that day. We are constantly updated on pictures, what they are up to and what they have eaten. They are fantastic at keeping in touch and any worries they always let me know right away. I would absolutely recommend Busy Bees Edinburgh Park we couldn’t be happier with the nursery and its fantastic teachers!

Unfortunately, due to Covid and works ongoing at the nursery we have been unable to visit and see the space much over her near two-year duration there. This could be better communicated with parents, however, I look forward to parents being allowed back into the nursery to allow for a more engaging relationship between parents/carers and the nursery.
