Busy Bees Edinburgh Forres Street

I cannot speak highly enough about Busy bees Forres Street. We recently left this nursery due to relocating and were heartbroken to leave. Our daughter formed beautiful relationships with the staff who were all so kind, caring and patient. I could leave my daughter every day knowing she was safe and happy.

Our child was at Forest St. Nursery for about 6 months in the 2-3 age room, and we had a great experience overall. She really loved going, made little friends and spent time outdoors every day. Food was great. Management was organised, available and easy to reach. The staff were amazing, friendly, caring, and attentive. We always felt she was safe and well taken care of. We were very happy with our time at Busy Bees and would definitely recommend it to other families.

We hadn't expected to have to make a last minute change of nursery so when it happened it was very stressful. Busy Bees at Forres Street and Claire and all the team could not have made the experience any more welcoming and reassuring. As our 15 month old daughter joined she was made to feel at home and loved from the first moment. There is a lovely staff energy and a great diversity in the team which enriches the care. Our daughter settled so quickly and the staff worked hard to quickly establish trusting nurturing relationships with her so she could confidentiality flourish. Leaving your child in the care or another is the ultimate leap of faith and Busy Bees at Forres Street have delighted and reassured us all at all stages. I hope other little people and families get to enjoy their wonderful care also.

The entire Forres Street team are brilliant, and as a parent, I can't thank them enough!

We all would like to share some feedback over the last months with you.

He comes home exhausted each day, and although he can't yet tell me everything, it's clear he's had a great time. He's always learning something new-using colours and apples to make shapes on paper, singing, dancing, playing in the sand, and so much more. The team is wonderful. Each child is given individual attention while still maintaining a consistent routine. We couldn't wish for a better place for him. We absolutely love the nursery

Most importantly, the staff have all been consistently friendly and caring. It's clear they take the time to get to know the children and create a supportive, positive environment. Overall, we've felt very comfortable and reassured with the care our son is receiving.

My child smiles & goes in no problem - the staff are doing an amazing job from where i am standing :)

We've had an excellent experience with BusyBees Forres Street. Starting our little one off shortly before her first birthday, it was naturally a daunting time but the team have been wonderful at helping us to feel reassured. No little question or thought has been too much/little to be covered and discussed if we have wanted Our little one has such a great time there and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Thank you to the whole team!

I cannot recommend Busy Bee Forres Street enough! Our daughter has been attending for nearly 7 months and has loved every minute of it. Since starting there, she has developed so much, and I love seeing what she is up to on the app. She goes in smiling every day and we can go to work knowing she is safe and well-looked after. The staff are just wonderful! They are attentive and caring and have supported us as a family through different stages of our daughter's development. As an (anxious) first time parent I am particularly grateful for the incredible manager who goes out of her way to keep parents informed and is deeply committed to seeing everyone at Forres Street thrive.

the staff is supporting me in potty training and this is really important to me. Every time I asked for additional sections I was always supported.

My son goes to Busy Bees Edinburgh Forres Street and he loves it. The nursery is wonderful and the staff are amazing. The centre director is so amazing. My son has the best time every day he goes and I feel so happy that he is safe and looked after so well.

Busy Bees Edinburgh Forres Street staff have been very helpful as my child got settled, supportive of us, and engaged in reporting activities and goings on during the day. My child clearly looks forward to going to Busy Bees each morning, eagerly getting his shoes and coat to get out the door, and jumps right into playing on arrival.

Huge thanks to the team for all of their hard work.

With a nurturing and educational environment, the staff go above and beyond, treating the children like their own. The exceptional food options provide a well-balanced diet, allowing older children some meal choices for a sense of ownership over their health. Recent upgrades to the kitchen and outdoor play area, with upcoming room renovations, promise top-notch facilities for the children.

With nursery having their own chef, the children are exposed to a fantastic range of foods throughout the week and come home telling us about the amazing food, baking and snacks that they get.

Staff turnaround is very high with unfamiliar faces daily.

There are scary moments in a family's life, especially when you move to a new country and your little son will start nursery in a language that he does not speak. However Busy Bees, Forres Street welcomed him in the most appropriate way, helped him to settle, has been patient with him and also with us as parents. The whole atmosphere gives you comfort that your little one will be safe and will have fun, too. Special thanks to one member of staff in particular, who dedicates wonderful attention to our son and we hope to stay long years here. We are very thankful!

My son has been attending Busy Bees, Edinburgh Forres Street since January 2023, when he was 10 months old. We are very happy and all the staff has been communicative and helpful always. Also due to unexpected day changes we needed, the nursery has been very flexible. Thank you for taking care of our babies!

I have had all three of my boy's journey through all the rooms as New Town and am so impressed by the team there. I have felt extremely comfortable leaving my children there under the management of the director. Superb experience and one I have recommended to friends already.

Thank you to everyone at New Town Nursery Too! Our daughter has attended there since she was one, and she has loved her time in each and every room. The staff have always been so welcoming, warm and approachable and always take time to provide feedback and a review of her day. They have supported her to settle into nursery and have always been flexible and thoughtful with her transition to new rooms, tailoring each step to her. We will be so sad to leave due to our home move, but we will forever be grateful for all of the wonderful development opportunities, fun, adventures, play and learning that she has experienced. A huge heartfelt thank you!
