Busy Bees Edinburgh Park

I and my family are so impressed with the Busy Bees at Edinburgh Park! My daughter has only started here but my son also previously attended this nursery. Both of my children loved it and them being very different personalities, the Busy Bees staff managed to support them in an individual way, adapting staff and environment to their needs. I believe Busy Bees have enhanced their life experience. My daughter who is only 15 months loves going to the nursery and every day shows us new skills she has learnt. She is very happy before and after. She found it hard of course to start with and separation from me but the staff went above and beyond to help her settle in. I genuinely feel that the staff care and love my daughter and one really cannot ask for more. The activities are interesting and the environment is something that my daughter wouldn't have had at home. She is free to explore and activities are thoughtfully designed and regularly developed and changed for the children. The food is great too! Thank you.

Staff are friendly and helpful and despite Covid restrictions and not being allowed to go into the nursery, we are getting regular written updates and photos via the app. There’s always lots of celebrations of events, lots of variety of activities and both my children have always been happy attending.

My son has attended the nursery for a few months now and the staff have been fantastic helping him to settle in. He now waves us off at the door happily and enjoys all of the activities the nursery provides daily. The staff are all very friendly and provide regular updates on how things are going and what activities are done each day. Excellent nursery!

My daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing and have taken great steps in order to make the transition back to nursery after lockdown as seamless as possible. The new app is great with being able to see photos of what the kids are doing in the day, it's reassuring but also great to be involved in their day in some tiny way. Staff are always happy and seem to genuinely love the kids like their own. A great variety of food choices and allergies are taken very seriously.

Best nursery in Edinburgh with a clean and hygienic setup and good food. They care for each child. Special care is given and they enjoy. My daughter has been part of this nursery for the last 3 years and now I have my son also going to the same nursery. Best care and lovely staff.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was a toddler. Lovely place, lovely staff and freshly cooked food. Can’t recommend enough! The nursery manager is always smiling and happy to help.

For me, the best feedback is my child looking forward to going to the nursery and hopping in every morning. He talks about his friends, teachers, food (mostly!). The new app works well for daily updates, too and I love when they share photos of his daily activities. Some other pluses: meals are cooked in-house daily, the nursery is moving away from using plastic toys... I already recommended and would again.

This nursery has been great for my daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds during her time here so far and I feel happy leaving her knowing she is well looked after. The staff are all very warm and friendly, it’s in a great location and the opening hours suit my working patterns. I also love the daily updates and pictures via the app!

Have been sending my child to the nursery for the past 4 months. The staff are just fantastic. My child has made a lot of friends at the nursery. English is not this first language, he had problems with communication initially but the staff have been very patient and encouraging. I would highly recommend the nursery to any new parents.

I am a returning parent to this nursery, my first child left this nursery 20 months ago. I have noticed that there are a few new members of staff since we last visited this nursery. Overall the team are very welcoming and I'm happy that my child is under their love and care.

Fantastic nursery. My son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 8 months old, he is now 4 in the preschool room and due to start school in August. He has enjoyed every day he has gone into nursery. I have full confidence in the staff and will be sad to see him leave in August. Reliable, safe and would highly recommend. Great value for money with the nursery providing nappies, milk and food which made my morning less stressful.

My son has been at this nursery for a year now and he absolutely loves it. All the staff have been so welcoming and caring and we have seen him grow in confidence since starting. The activities that he takes part in are amazing and they offer a variety throughout. The nursery offers a welcoming environment and he is excited to attend each day. The nursery uses an app to update us about our son's day and also if needed we can have a 1 on 1 chat with a keyworker. We feel safe with him being at this fantastic nursery.

Great team, settles your child from room to room with an easy transition. My boy has been there for almost 2 years and they are doing wonderfully in strengthening his character. Covid has been hard, but they are so supportive throughout.

This is a great nursery, with lovely staff and brilliant facilities. We love that the app gives you updates on how your child is getting on each day and the staff are so helpful, nothing is ever too much hassle!

My son has been attending Busy Bees since he was 12 months old, he is now in the preschool room! I have always been really happy with the level of care and quality of the facilities at the nursery. The staff are all lovely and seem to really care about the children and parents alike. The app is great for keeping track of what my son has had to eat at nursery and I enjoy the photo updates too! Most importantly, my son enjoys his time there

I have a daughter in the nursery. She started when she was 1.5 years old. She was happy from the beginning when she started attending the nursery. We have been well informed about the progress our daughter has made. The nursery has big rooms which are clean and safe. Kids spend a lot of time in the garden when they have lots of toys. The staff are friendly and supportive. Highly recommend this nursery.

My son joined Busy Bees nursery in August 2020 at 13 months old, when they were reopening for the first time during a global pandemic! This meant that we were restricted with access into the building and had to hand him over at the door after they took the temperature, which was difficult but he was obviously having (and still has) a great time while in there, as there was very minimal fuss from him about going inside without us! Back then we were provided with daily activity sheets but recently the nursery has been using the app, which is great, we enjoy our daily updates and photos of what he is up to. I'm really happy with the nursery, the food provided (3 meals) is seasonal and nutritious, the activities are all different to challenge different developmental areas and we are kept up to date via the app and other assessments. The staff are all friendly and you never feel a hindrance if calling the room to check on your child. I also love the convenience of the car park!

I have been using this nursery for over 4 years now, having put both my children here and have to say I have felt extremely happy with the service and care provided. The staff are all extremely helpful and always giving feedback each day they were in which gave me confidence in their care. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Busy Bees at Edinburgh Park has been a brilliant nursery for my little girl. She suffers from extreme allergies and they have gone above and beyond to help keep her safe and make us feel relaxed about her being in a nursery setting. One of the things we love as parents are having the nursery app to get updates throughout the day to see how our daughter is doing, what she has eaten and getting a photo of her. My little girl absolutely loves going to nursery and participating in all the activities the nursery organises. The staff have been nothing short of brilliant communicating Coronavirus restrictions and any other changes and have been so supportive to my husband and I with medical forms etc that we have had to complete for my daughter. We are so glad that our daughter goes to nursery here and we recommend it to other parents.

Having my first baby in lockdown, I struggled massively to let my little girl go to anyone (even family) after 6 months of lockdown maternity leave. The staff at Busy Bees Edinburgh Park were so in tune with this! They encouraged me to phone for updates as often as I needed to, and never made me feel stupid for doing so. They couldn't have given more support to my baby if they tried, and I cannot thank them enough for giving her lots of quiet 1on1 cuddle time away from it all when needed, singing her twinkle-twinkle, listening fully to the 20+things I had to say at drop-offs, and giving me the detailed updates at pickups. The new app is brilliant for updates throughout the day too! They are so thorough with development plans, observations, providing a varied diet. My little girl loves the staff so much she asks for them on non-nursery days! So glad I chose Busy Bees, Edinburgh Park, they really are an amazing group of people and I can see how much my little girl loves them - thank you.
