I would highly recommend Busy Bees Halbeath! The level of care and attention for the kids is really amazing. I especially like communication from the app on what my child has been up to, what he's eaten during the day and if he's had a nap. All staff members are always more than happy to help and give great feedback on my son's development. We recently told the staff that our son liked space and planets, and they went above and beyond to add this into his daily learning! We felt really heard and understood, and I appreciate that. Can't fault the nursery at all! :)

ViewMy child has been at Busybees Halbeath since 2022 and my second is getting ready to start! The staff have provided my daughter with a warm, welcoming environment that she is excited to attend. She learns so much from topics of interest (mail, recycling, dinosaurs etc) to health and wellbeing ( importance of exercise, balanced diet, teeth brushing). All staff have such a genuine care and interest in the children, their development and their happiness. I drop my daughter off knowing the staff will feed her nutritious meals, she will have a fun filled day and that the staff know her well enough to pick up even the slightest thing bring off. I cannot ask for more from the nursery, she will miss it greatly when she starts school but we are so thankful our youngest will be starting and cared for by such a great team.

ViewFrom the minute we first made contact with Busy Bees Halbeath, Dunfermline, we felt so welcome. Every staff member I’ve spoken to has been beyond helpful and kind, and I our son is absolutely thriving in their care. He was at a nursery previously, but I’m so glad we moved him along to Busy Bees! The communication with the team is really amazing, over the phone, through the app and in person. Laura the director, and the staff in his nursery room are just wonderful and he’s excited to see them each day! Thank you for all your hard work, we really appreciate it, and I would highly highly recommend Busy Bees to everyone

ViewOur daughter as went to Busy Bees for a couple of years and we are genuinely sad that she has to leave for school soon. All of the staff have been fantastic. We've enjoyed reading about all of the activities she has been getting up to with all of her friends, running free with her pink ladies. Thanks to all of the learning and development Busy Bees has provided she is now more than ready for school!

ViewMy daughter will be leaving to go to school after summer and I just want to express what an amazing experience we have had during her time at nursery thanks to the staff at busy bees halbeath. The staff go over and above way to provide the best care and education for the children, my child has grown so much in skills and confidence thanks to the nursery. Even with so many children in their care I really feel like they have all got to know my daughter so well and are so helpful and friendly. Nothing seems too much for them, they even put on special events outside of nursery time like Easter egg hunt, Christmas fair and even the parents are thought of with events for Mother's Day/Father's Day. I could not have wished for better experience for my daughter.
