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.

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.

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!

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.

We have been using Busy Bees at Edinburgh Park for a number of years, firstly for our son and now for our daughter. Staff are friendly and helpful and despite Covid restrictions and not being allowed to go into the nursery, we are getting regular written updates and photos via the app. There’s always lots of celebrations of events, lots of variety of activities and both my children have always been happy attending.

My son has attended the nursery for a few months now and the staff have been fantastic helping him to settle in. He now waves us off at the door happily and enjoys all of the activities the nursery provides daily. The staff are all very friendly and provide regular updates on how things are going and what activities are done each day. Excellent nursery!

My daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing and have taken great steps in order to make the transition back to nursery after lockdown as seamless as possible. The new app is great with being able to see photos of what the kids are doing in the day, it's reassuring but also great to be involved in their day in some tiny way. Staff are always happy and seem to genuinely love the kids like their own. A great variety of food choices and allergies are taken very seriously.

Best nursery in Edinburgh with a clean and hygienic setup and good food. They care for each child. Special care is given and they enjoy. My daughter has been part of this nursery for the last 3 years and now I have my son also going to the same nursery. Best care and lovely staff.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was a toddler. Lovely place, lovely staff and freshly cooked food. Can’t recommend enough! The nursery manager is always smiling and happy to help.
26 May 2021
For me, the best feedback is my child looking forward to going to the nursery and hopping in every morning. He talks about his friends, teachers, food (mostly!). The new app works well for daily updates, too and I love when they share photos of his daily activities. Some other pluses: meals are cooked in-house daily, the nursery is moving away from using plastic toys... I already recommended and would again.

This nursery has been great for my daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds during her time here so far and I feel happy leaving her knowing she is well looked after. The staff are all very warm and friendly, it’s in a great location and the opening hours suit my working patterns. I also love the daily updates and pictures via the app!

Have been sending my child to the nursery for the past 4 months. The staff are just fantastic. My child has made a lot of friends at the nursery. English is not this first language, he had problems with communication initially but the staff have been very patient and encouraging. I would highly recommend the nursery to any new parents.

I am a returning parent to this nursery, my first child left this nursery 20 months ago. I have noticed that there are a few new members of staff since we last visited this nursery. Overall the team are very welcoming and I'm happy that my child is under their love and care.

Fantastic nursery. My son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 8 months old, he is now 4 in the preschool room and due to start school in August. He has enjoyed every day he has gone into nursery. I have full confidence in the staff and will be sad to see him leave in August. Reliable, safe and would highly recommend. Great value for money with the nursery providing nappies, milk and food which made my morning less stressful.

My son has been at this nursery for a year now and he absolutely loves it. All the staff have been so welcoming and caring and we have seen him grow in confidence since starting. The activities that he takes part in are amazing and they offer a variety throughout. The nursery offers a welcoming environment and he is excited to attend each day. The nursery uses an app to update us about our son's day and also if needed we can have a 1 on 1 chat with a keyworker. We feel safe with him being at this fantastic nursery.

Great team, settles your child from room to room with an easy transition. My boy has been there for almost 2 years and they are doing wonderfully in strengthening his character. Covid has been hard, but they are so supportive throughout.
