We've been clients of this nursery for nearly two years and are very happy with our experience. The facilities are bright, clean, and well equipped, with three lovely outdoor gardens in a safe area. Free parking makes drop-off and pick-up easy.
The teachers are caring and attentive, and the admin
team is friendly and organised. Our child needs specific care for her skin condition, and the staff consistently support her routine with great attention. They have also been very supportive with potty training, working with us to keep things consistent.
The activities are engaging and varied, and the chef provides excellent, nutritious food.
One small suggestion: last December, we wish all children had the chance to see Santa, not only those attending on certain dates.
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

From the moment I was greeted at my show round to the moment I left I felt welcomed by the staff any questions I had were answered the atmosphere of the nursery was calming. It was lovely to see the staff interacting with the children with activities but also seeing how they cared for the children
during nap time was great.
I felt the nursery was very clean and warm in temperature.
Following from that at the beginning of the settling in sessions I felt I was not judged for any of my parenting choices I made for my child and the nursery have been great in accommodating any changing needs or wants they have.
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.
23 September 2025
Both my children are in this nursery with the 3rd joining the baby room at the end of the year.
A great range of activities, time outside in the garden or visiting the nearby pond to interact with little ducklings or observe fish, which always delights my little ones.
The current centre director, as
well as the previous one, have the utmost care for any needs expressed by the children or parents, exceeding expectations in finding solutions to accommodate the requests.
Verry happy with the place, constantly finding fun ways to engage with the children, friendly staff, great healthy food choices and an app that is constantly updated with what activities and milestones were achieved during the day.
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.
10 September 2025
Nice staff. Good range of activities and foods for the kids. I feel my child is well looked after. Would recommend.
07 December 2023
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.
04 December 2023
Very happy with how my youngest child settled in, very caring staff and really pleased with how the branch director is always doing everything she can to accommodate our needs.
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.
21 November 2023
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!
21 April 2023
Overall, we are pleased with our daughter's time at Busy Bees. She loves her time there as well as the activities, staff and friends she is making. We are very fortunate that staff turnover appears low so she can strike up these important relationships. I think her time at Busy Bees has been
fundamental to her learning and development.
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.

Great nursery with lovely staff. Our wee one has attended here since 10 months old and I believe it has greatly improved her development. We receive daily updates and pictures of the kids' daily adventures, meals, sleep and nappies. They spend a lot of time in the garden or just walking around the
area. We learned some nursery rhymes from our wee one she learned at nursery.
They have an on-site chef whom prepares fresh meals for the kids daily. Haven't seen the meals, but our kid never comes home hungry and if she doesn't like something, there is always an option for something else. They also have fresh fruit daily.
I would like to mention some of our wee one’s favourite people here: one staff member, in particular, is a gem in the baby room, also another staff member, one of the room managers, a senior room manager and the centre director.
Glad we found this nursery and even though it's not cheap, it's worth every penny.

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.
