Great experience with Busy Bees - staff all friendly and great with sending pics of what they're doing along with information on what they've eaten and nappies etc. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

We are very happy that we chose Busy Bees Glenalmond for our daughter. It took a while for her to settle in the nursery but thanks to caring and dedicated staff members she is now loving it there. The environment is great and feels like home once we enter the building. I like to follow the app and see her progress and daily activities. We also love their green garden and the amount of space kids have to play outdoors. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Glenalmond to any parent, we are super happy we made this choice.

My children attended the Busy Bees Glenalmond nursery from 2 - 4 years old and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The staff and management were consistently engaging, friendly and got to know our children well. The staff was focused on addressing special needs as they arose and kept us up to date on speech development and potty training progress. My son was quite shy to begin but became comfortable and confident in the environment speaking volumes to the trust he had in the staff. We loved how much the children are offered time in the garden to be outdoors throughout the year. The parent app isn't updated consistently but we took that as a sign that the focus and time is spent on the children where it should be. The staff was very good about contacting us if ever there was a need and would answer any questions we had on progress/updates at the end of each day. Seeing the progress and independence my kids have gained during their time here has exceeded our expectations!

I have been consistently impressed by the diverse range of activities and learning opportunities offered at Busy Bees Glenalmond. My son has thrived in this enriching environment. Moreover, the communication between the nursery and parents is excellent, keeping us informed about my son's progress and daily activities. Overall, Busy Bees Glenalmond's Nursery has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching childcare experience for their child.

My daughter loves her time at Busy Bees Glenalmond. She has an excellent relationship with her teachers and looks forward to her nursery days. I believe she is learning a lot whilst she is there and takes part in a variety of fun activities to help her learn. I would say that the nursery is quite expensive, but compared to others in the area it is priced fairly. Also, the app is not updated very often throughout the day, but this is probably because the staff are too busy looking after the children, which of course is the priority. Overall, I believe the nursery are doing a great job and I am very happy with the care they provide for my daughter.

Our son has been attending nursery at Montessori by Busy Bees Glenalmond since he turned one, based on a recommendation from another parent. We have been so impressed with the friendly atmosphere at nursery. The staff working in the rooms have all been positive, energetic and enthusiastic and have spent time getting to know our son with a view to making him feel happy, settled and best able to learn. He has learnt good routines and has been supported to play productively and happily with his peers. The activities he does are centred around his interests and designed to challenge and move on his learning. We love seeing photos on tlhe app so that we can discuss our son’s learning with him at home. The nursery has an excellent management team who are always on-hand to answer any queries. We have been so pleased with our experience at Busy Bees Glenalmond and are very grateful for their excellent care. We would confidently recommend this nursery.

First of all, my son enjoys going to nursery everyday. He learned so much from there, from counting numbers, differentiating colours to singing songs, which is amazing for a toddler who is learning to speak . They also provide a lot of outdoor time as my son loves playing outside. As a parent, I am very happy with the staff, particularly the management team. They take very positive attitudes towards parents' feedback and take prompt actions to address issues. Also, the staff always keep me updated about my son on the parent app with good pictures and video, and reach out to me if necessary. Overall, Busy Bees provides a safe, supportive and loving environment for my son. We are very happy with our choice.

My son (21 months) has been at Glenalmond for coming up on a year now and as far as I can tell is absolutely thriving. He is too young to tell me what he has been up to during the day, but I get regular updates through the ParentZone App which keeps me up to date with his development. The staff are always very welcoming when dropping him off and collecting and he is very comfortable with them. He is quite happy to wave bye to me and march off with his room workers to have breakfast as soon as he arrives. He knows food is more important than daddy. He is very settled in the routine of the nursery and I have absolutely no concerns about the level of care and engagement he receives.

Despite starting in covid which was really difficult for the children on so many levels my children have really come to love the nursery. The decor of the nursery has been improved significantly making it much more bright, airy and cheerful. The staff are great and whilst I realise that there has been some turnover of staff the main room teachers have been excellent, particularly in toddler and pre-school. My children have really close bonds with their current and previous key workers. The nursery is good at listening and implementing changes when necessary which also gives me great confidence in the nursery. The outdoor space is also one of the massive plus points for the nursery.
06 February 2023
My child has attended Busy Bees Glenalmond from mid-2019 to the present and it has been a hugely positive experience for us both. The exceptional refurbishment and outside grounds coupled with the dedicated staff makes it an environment where children can thrive. The children's personalities are nurtured yet developed, they are cared for yet encouraged to be independent and are driven with so many activities and opportunities. In my experience, the staff at Busy Bees Glenalmond are dedicated, professional, approachable and incredibly user-friendly for parents. Overall, a very happy parent of a very content child at Busy Bees Glenalmond.

My daughter loves nursery. All the staff are friendly and she loves being around them and all the activities they do. The setting for the nursery is nice, with plenty of outdoor space for the children.

Busy Bees Glenalmond is such a lovely nursery. As a teacher myself, I had very specific things I was looking for when we chose nurseries and I viewed a lot before choosing it. My little girl joined when she was 11 months old (she's now 28 months) and the staff helped her (and us as parents) settle into our new routine. She has since moved up twice to different classrooms as she's grown. Each classroom setting and variety of activities has matched her stage of development perfectly. The nursery was refurbished not long after we joined and the result is really beautiful. Glenalmond is already a very striking building with lovely surrounding grounds but now they have a lovely art studio, library and snug. The staff are so warm and caring, they have really looked after our little girl as well as making the whole family feel welcome. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and would confidently recommend it!

My son attends this nursery since he was seven months old. He loves it here and so do I. Everybody knows each other and you feel like your child is in good hands. He learns so many new things there. I am so lucky that he can be here. Thank you!

My child is very happy with Busy Bees at Glenalmond and is never unhappy to go. Our best recommendation for a toddler. Due to Covid-19 it's hard to know what happens inside but what we see, we love.

My son is due to finish his time at Glenalmond Busy Bees Nursery in the next few weeks to prepare for school, both he and my eldest son attended the nursery and have both really enjoyed their time here. The staff have always been welcoming, caring and supportive. They take the time to talk each day sharing updates but also little details about my son's day. He has made great friends here and includes the staff when he talks about his friends at nursery. The vegetable soup will always be a favourite for them both.
20 July 2020
We really appreciate all the measures that are in place and the professionalism of the staff. It's great and reassuring to see a good organisation and such a nice atmosphere in the nursery. In a time of many unknowns, we are thankful for the carers and their attention to all of us.

My son (now age four) has been at Busy Bees Glenalmond for nine months since we relocated. We have been really pleased with the whole experience. The staff are lovely and I was really touched that all the staff knew who my son was when we first arrived even though it is a large nursery and that was a really personal touch. I was wary of such a large place having come from a small childminder but he settled in and made friends quickly and I think the staff and lovely setting are a huge part of that.
20 July 2020
The staff at Glenalmond have continued to do a fantastic job over the last few months welcoming the children back. My son is very happy there and loves the big garden which is used daily. All the staff are very caring and do a brilliant job. Thank you.
20 July 2020
Our son has been attending the nursery now for nearly two years. At every stage of transition, he has been thoroughly supported and cared for. The staff go above and beyond to form positive relationships and encourage his development. Coming out of lockdown we were apprehensive about so many changes to day to day life; Busy Bees has remained constant in their love and support for our child. He has settled back seamlessly and bounces out at the end of the day full of stories, songs and new games he has learnt.

My Daughter loved her time at Busy Bees Glenalmond and now my son is enjoying his time there. The team are extremely caring and great at understanding my son’s traits and needs ensuring he feels settled and at ease.
