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.

In my personal experience, one of the best nurseries in terms of general care and attention to the children and staff are great at communicating information to you too, there is an app that I get daily updates which also definitely helps. My child is outside in the garden daily and if not then they are out on walks in the local area.

ViewMy little girl was a Busy Bee from August 2021 until December 2024 (relocation). From day one, the level of care was 10/10. Each member of staff, whether in my child's room or not, made a point to know every child in the nursery and was always so friendly and helpful to me and my partner. The food provided to the children was incredible and always was a part of a balanced diet, including fruit/vegetables with all meals. My child's development whilst at Busy Bees has been astounding and we couldn't have been any happier with her learning and development during her time there. We also would always be kept up to date with her day through the information app. They also provide each child a key worker, there are truly no words to explain how amazing my child's key worker is and how much she means to our family. The centre director... Honestly, again, there are no words to explain how amazing she is and how much she not only cares for the kids but parents too!
