Overall Experience

So pleased with this nursery. The staff are so lovely and provide so much information on the app and at the end of the day. My daughter has settled in so well and so quickly. Lots of variety of healthy food and different activities each week.

Review from L L (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery was great at supporting my son during his time at the nursery here. He attended from 9 months and stayed until he left to start school this summer.
The staff were fantastic with him and supported him with all his social and emotional needs. Communication between the nursery and myself was brilliant. The staff gave a detailed handover at each pick-up and sent out regular communication via email and on the app.
My son enjoyed all the different activities the nursery staff would do with him throughout the day and he was very well looked after and sad to have to leave to go to school.

My younger son is now about to start this nursery and looks forward to going.

Overall Experience

Staff at Busy Bees are kind and nurturing, genuinely caring about the kids. My daughter loves going, often telling me on the way home 'I have a nice nursery'. She has fun days and lovely meals to eat. I feel confident in leaving my daughter in their care.

Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery at a fairly chaotic time in our lives but the team in both room 3 and 4 have been amazing. She looks forward to going to nursery in the mornings to see her friends and the staff. We will be sad to leave this month when she starts school.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been going to this nursery for the past 4 years my son went here from 1yr-5yr and my daughter from 7 months to 3 years. The only reason we left is we've recently moved abroad. There have been many changes at this nursery over the past 4 years but with the new Director I've really noticed the amazing changes she's implemented for the better! The communication is much better with lots of emails and they are always available in the office to speak to parents. My kids loved the staff and the staff loved them. It was so reassuring to see this every morning. They get outside all the time either in one of the many back gardens or walking to the various parks. The chef is wonderful and I know cooks them fresh yummy meals every day which you can smell when you drop them off in the morning. Thank you, Busy Bees Edinburgh Broughton, for being so amazing. Miss you so much! I would highly recommend this nursery if you’re thinking about going here as the staff are truly wonderful people.

Overall Experience
My son is really happy here and all the staff are just great. We are always kept updated on his activities, eating, nappies, etc as well as how he is doing generally. The activities he does are really varied and interesting and it’s great to see the pictures of him enjoying himself.

We always know that he will be happy and well cared for here and would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Becky L (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended the nursey full time from the age of 1 to 5. Over the 6 years I have used the nursery, the team there have been an essential part of our family life, providing an excellent level of care. I will be picking up my daughter on her last day of pre school from the same team I handed over my son to 6 years ago on his first day; the team are consistent, professional, caring and both my children have formed close bonds with their careers. Their curriculum is varied and most importantly fun. The home cooked food and facilities with outdoor space are very good. Each day is varied and allows for the child to express their own interests and both my children have started school with confidence and with a firm foundation of learning. I would highly recommend The Edinburgh Nursery team to any parent/carer looking for a high standard of nursery care delivered by a team who are supportive, caring and committed to the well being of the children they care for.
