Busy Bees Edinburgh Dean Terrace is a converted 3 storey Georgian house offering 5 beautiful, spacious, welcoming childcare rooms with an exciting, secure outdoor area for the children to explore. The Royal Botanical Gardens and Inverleith Park are very local where the children regularly visit to develop their love of the outdoors, their self-esteem, physical skills, and confidence.
We are very proud to boast that we have a long-standing, supportive and caring staff team. We are even able to offer weekly dance classes directed by one of our own trained, amazing staff members.
Excellent relationships have been made with the local schools that our children go on to attend making the transition as smooth as possible when the time comes.
