  • Busy Bees Midlothian Hopefield Castle, Bonnyrigg
Busy Bees at Midlothian Hopefield Castle is a very special setting, located in a 17th-century castle, the nursery offers a whimsical environment complete with 1.5 acres of secure grounds. Previously Hopefield Castle Nursery, Busy Bees are very proud to welcome the setting to its repertoire.

The team of early years educators at the nursery are fully qualified, passionate and specialise in their chosen area. To ensure children get the very best from the team, Busy Bees supports their staff in professional development as well as further training and education; a happy team is key to happy children.

Inside the nursery you'll find a free flow system, allowing children to decide where they want to spend their time, promoting independence and confidence. Rooms are spacious and children also benefit from an outdoor area with resources designed for every age group.

As if the extensive grounds weren't enough, the nursery is also within walking distance to many local parks and amenities, ensuring children have the opportunity to get involved in the local community. There truly is never a dull day at this wonderful nursery.
