This nursery is absolutely fantastic. The staff are so professional but also extremely caring and seem to really know my daughter. The senior staff are very kind and understanding towards busy working parents and are always trying hard to make the nursery feel welcoming and inclusive for the whole
family as well as the child that attends.
They did a wonderful Christmas event for the children at a weekend and also a lovely lights switch on which felt very special. I am so pleased my daughter attends, the learning is clearly focussed and planned but also fun for the child and she is blossoming under their care. I feel happy dropping her off and picking her up. Thank you so much to the team for all your hard work.

Our son is so happy at Busy Bees Melrose. He had a great relationship with the staff and his friends. He loves going in and frequently doesn't want to leave to come home, which as a parent makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he's happy.

My daughter started attending Busy Bees Melrose in January 26. Naturally both of us were a little nervous but the staff did everything possible to put us at ease. They put regular information on the app and a few updates to ensure we knew she was loving it. They are brilliant and getting her in in
the morning and so far I have loved my experience there, as has my daughter. I am sure that will continue as they strive to make a friendly environment for both parent and child. X

The staff at Busy Bees nursery have been fantastic looking after our grandson's needs, they are all so helpful and look after him so well. He has flourished over the last few months and that is down to the care and encouragement he receives everyday at the nursery.

I was very anxious about enrolling my daughter to nursery but it's the best decision I made. She loves the nursery and all the staff. It's so comforting to see her so excited to go. I am so glad I chose busy bees.

Since starting in August 2025, our daughter has came on leaps and bounds. Her confidence has improved and her general interactions with both kids and adults has really developed. The activities she takes part in, encourage her to learn and grow and she loves telling us about them and replicating
them at home. She's been able to try a variety of different activities and her interests are really supported. I can't recommend the staff and facility enough. We recently had another child and the staff at Melrose have been 100% supportive in helping our first child welcome her sibling. The transition has been seamless.

Our experience at busy bees Melrose has been fantastic, our little boy has additional needs and when I say the team at Melrose have been the best I mean it, from knowing on days he won't eat certain foods and always ensuring there's other foods there to offer him, getting time out in the office for
a play on the spinning chair or extra time out in the garden which seems to have been his happy place. I had a giggle one day as I went to hand my son over to one of the girls in the room when he clocked his favourite worker behind her, that was him full of smiles and didn't look back for me. Seeing these relationships form between him and the staff has been beautiful and we are forever grateful to them all for these memories. The app they have is very reassuring and is updated daily on all the information from the day and the odd picture is lovely to receive especially when your child's ASN. A smile can speak so much more than words can.

Thank you so much for everything today girls. The comfort we had this morning bringing him in when he wasn't 100% and the detailed info we got when I picked him up.
Super grateful and reinforces we absolutely picked the right place for him.

All 3 of our children have attended Busy Bees Melrose, from March 2018 until now. Our youngest son is the last to attend and he is currently having a great time in Bombo 2. The staff are caring and spend time and effort making new and different activities for the kids to enjoy, which are often led
by the children's interests. The food is freshly prepared daily and is varied and nutritious. The outside spaces for each room have different spaces where the children can engage in multiple activities and have lots of fun. They are given the chance to go outside daily; even in the best Scottish weather!
There is also a separate room with sensory spaces and a huge sand pit which the children can explore in small groups with staff members. Our middle son is autistic and he loved this space when he attended nursery here.
There are also lots of innovative practices like the donation station at the front door for food, utilities and toys which parents can take if they need to.

Both my older two (and my baby starting soon) really enjoyed and enjoy Busy Bees.
The outdoor space is fantastic with clean, fresh air and they are always out (much to my washing machine's annoyance!) The food is great. All made on-site and a great variety of healthy food. I like that they all eat
together so that there is a community within the centre.
The ladies are caring and show genuine interest in what my child wants to do and areas for growth.
The centre director is responsive, understanding, caring and reliable.
The communication from the room is definitely improving, especially with the new app. The online booking system via the app really works for us. I have and would recommend to families. It's more expensive than other places but I'm very happy with the centre.

Our daughter joined the nursery last summer. She has settled in well, building relationships with the staff and looks forward to going each week. We love getting daily updates of her day on the app. We feel reassured knowing she's enjoying herself and keeping busy with a wide range of activities
which contribute to her learning.
12 February 2025
Busy Bees Melrose is a fantastic nursery. They provide wonderful learning opportunities for my child and he genuinely loves being there. The staff are amazing and show each child care and affection while also ensuring they are learning how to be around others and how to handle emotions. They provide
all meals and snacks which are freshly prepared on the premises and this really relives a lot of stress of meal prepping. Both my children have gone to busy bees Melrose and I cannot recommend them enough.
12 February 2025
Fabulous nursery. My girl loves her nursery days. The staff are all exceptionally kind and attentive. We were given so much help and patience on her settling days before she started and once we got going there was no stopping her. There are always fun learning activities on and a great garden that
she loves spending time in. They've recently got a new app so we are up to date with the fun activity for the day and what tasty snacks are on the menu for that day.
Facilities are all fairly new, well serviced and it feels like a nice place to drop my child for the day. They are always updating the rooms to keep things interesting for everyone.
Fully recommend this nursery. So happy I picked here.

The nursery staff have all been brilliant with our child and have worked with us to improve our child's behaviour and support him in becoming more mature and managing his feelings. Our child has been supported to develop and the staff have helped us with ideas and ways to help manage and general
support. They have supported our child in trying to broaden his diet also.
