Both of our sons attend the nursery, and they loved it from day one. It is the first nursery that they both enjoy and we are fully satisfied with. The care is exceptional and our boys are loved and their development is always key in their care. The staff are amazing, always there for them and are working hard to provide new activities daily and to engage them in activities. The garden is well looked after and provides hours of fun for the little ones. The food is varied and plenty, my boys love the food in the nursery. I would always gladly advise choosing Halbeath Busy Bees. the manager is always keen to help and is spot on if you need help or advice.

I am extremely happy with the nursery. Both my sons are attending here and they are very well looked after. We get updates about their activities, meals etc and when we pick the boys up the staff always know what were they up to during their day! The rooms are spacious and welcoming and there are so many different toys and learning experiences. My older son had some tough times settling into a different nursery previously and he absolutely loves going here! He has also formed close bonds with some of the staff and his peers. During spring and summer if weather allows, the doors to the garden are kept open (with staff staying outside and inside as well) and the children are free to roam. Our sons love staying outdoors, so this is very important. There is plenty of garden space and activities, toys etc. The management is exceptional too, nothing is too much trouble. I can't thank the staff enough for their care and professionalism.

My daughter has been attending since she was 5 months old. The staff have all been so friendly and approachable. My daughter settled really quickly and it was reassuring to know she was being well looked after. We had informative updates daily on our daughters day and we could see by pictures, observations and communicating with the staff what our daughter had been doing whilst at nursery. The nursery has recently been renovated and it looks amazing! The rooms are inviting and the setting is home from home like. The garden spaces are incredible and they have so much variety of toys and different learning experiences both indoors and outdoors. Our daughter is now in her last year of Pre-School and the staff from all rooms have been like a second family to us. Our daughter always comes home speaking lots about nursery and all the different experiences she has taken part in. We can't thank the staff enough for all their support, hard work and professionalism throughout.

This is a fantastic nursery, my son has been attending since last year and his confidence has grown. He has made a few friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. They learn something new every day and I love that they play outside in the fresh air most of the time. We are all very grateful to the staff for looking after our wee one so well.

My children have attended the nursery since 2015. During that time I have always been so impressed with the staff, their professionalism, empathy, knowledge and general support. Both my children have benefitted from their time at the nursery. Their development is so well rounded which has made them extremely prepared for school. The only thing I have questioned in the past is the cleaning standard, especially the rugs which can collect so much, these are not cleaned enough.
06 April 2021
The nursery has provided an environment for my children to flourish and express themselves especially my daughter as she has become very good at drawing. We received a large pile of my daughter's artwork to take home which I was very impressed with as she has advanced with her drawing and creative skills which I believe has been down to the staff at the nursery facilitating this and encouraging her to express herself.

Highly recommend this nursery. They have been great, my little girl has been going since she was five months old and she loves it. When we came out of lockdown my little one got really bad separation anxiety, they were great with her and helped her to calm down when I left her, now she is happy going.

I have found the staff extremely friendly and professional. My son loves going to Busy Bees and likes all his friends, playing in the garden and eats well.

Highly recommend this nursery. We moved from London and wanted to ensure our son had a smooth transition to his new nursery. The manager and her team have been excellent, taking time to allow our son to settle into his new environment. He loves Busy Bees Halbeath, always comes home very happy with lots of stories of what he has been up to - I would highly recommend.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery since she was 11 months old. She has always enjoyed attending. She has made really nice solid relationships with the staff. As a parent, I feel supported by the staff team and am greeted with warmth and understanding. They have worked with me positively with all aspects of my daughter's learning and development. I am very happy to have chosen Busy Bees and would recommend.

My son loves his nursery. He is full-time Monday to Friday and is always happy to go. he eats and sleeps well and is clearly very much at home. I never worry about the level of care and attention he gets at nursery. I feel his needs for socialisation and stimulation are well met. His milestones and development are tracked and reviewed regularly. The staff help him to communicate with hand signs as his verbal communication is still a work in progress. The staff are interested and invested in his development, communication and general development.

My son has been a 'Busy Bee' for two years now and I am always happy with the care and attention shown to my son, he attends 3 days per week and is thriving. He has been taught impeccable manners and is very good at helping and tidying away after himself. He is happy and tells me all about the exciting activities he gets up to each day. Big thanks to all the staff especially to the manager for making the new system (temp checks) less scary and handling the current situation so well

Both my children attend/attended Busy Bees Nursery. I feel they listen to you and have an excellent facility for children. I feel very safe knowing my children are in good care and know that they are enjoying themselves and are getting a good start in life in regards to learning lots of new things such as learning to could and how to write.
16 November 2020
My son has been attending this nursery for over 2 years now, starting in the baby room and now in the preschool class. I cannot fault the staff. Everything is tailored to the individual child. The staff have always taken a great interest in my child's hobbies and passions and incorporated it into their everyday activities e.g we live on a dairy farm and he comes home with pictures and paintings of tractors etc. The menu is amazing, my son eats a variety of foods that he sometimes wouldn't eat at home. Their communication is also excellent. They are always so helpful.

I have been overwhelmingly impressed by our entire experience of Busy Bees Nursery Halbeath. Having enrolled my children in the toddler and baby rooms, under somewhat difficult circumstances, we have experienced nothing short of excellent care, attention and support with every interaction and session. My children are excited to attend and are visibly thriving in their time at the nursery. I couldn't ask for more. The staff appear happy and confident in their work and genuinely care about my children's wellbeing and development. This means I am confident and secure that I am leaving them in a safe and fun environment and can get on with my day without worry.

Our daughter has settled into nursery quickly. The nursery staff are extremely caring and she has developed a good relationship with all the staff in her room. We have found them to be approachable and very helpful in handling any concerns we have. We find the nursery to be a safe and nurturing environment which our daughter looks forward to attending.
05 June 2018
My son talks of meeting new friends at nursery, which I am encouraged to hear. Seems happy whenever I drop him off or collect. Since starting nursery, he is blossoming. Although being pro-active, I did not like to hear that staff were providing toys. This is expected by the nursery to cover additional toys and learning material.
