From the moment I was greeted at my show round to the moment I left I felt welcomed by the staff any questions I had were answered the atmosphere of the nursery was calming. It was lovely to see the staff interacting with the children with activities but also seeing how they cared for the children during nap time was great. I felt the nursery was very clean and warm in temperature. Following from that at the beginning of the settling in sessions I felt I was not judged for any of my parenting choices I made for my child and the nursery have been great in accommodating any changing needs or wants they have. Overall I'm glad I chose this setting for my child to be cared in.

ViewMy child joined Busybees in August 2025 just before their first birthday and as a first time mum I was very anxious about leaving my child with others that I didn't know. My mind was completely put at ease following a tour and the arranged settle sessions. Our experience so far has been fantastic, the staff are great and I love the progress reports and updates recieved via the app. Our little one has grown and learned so much already with the guidance and support from her teachers. Would 100% recommend this nursery to others.

ViewGreat nursery, my son seems to have a great time when he's there. The settling in process was better than I had expected it to be having spoken to some friends about their experiences for their children starting at other nurseries and it didn't feel fast/rushed at all. Staff are great at communicating whether in person, over the phone or using the app - the app is also great and it's great being able to keep updated with his meals, naps etc through the day. He eats so well and the menu is always full of healthy meals with such a good variety.

ViewI've had my son in the Edinburgh Park Busy Bees nursery since last June and have to say I've seen him grow well. While things were great when we started, I've definitely seen a recent surge and change since Marie started. She has been really generous and helpful with our son. I absolutely love her can-do approach and she strives to make things happen. Its through her hard work that I feel Busy Bees has transformed to a different level. Keep up the good work to all the lovely staff!

ViewMy daughter is currently attending this nursery, and I have been very impressed with the room she is in at the moment. The staff have taken the time to really get to know her, and their support has made the transition from her previous room smooth and reassuring. It's clear they genuinely care about the children, and this has helped her settle in brilliantly. The nursery app is a useful tool for keeping parents updated and provides a good overview of how children have been throughout the day. However, it could be even more effective if updates on day-to-day activities were a little more consistent, as there are occasions when some details are missed. Overall, we are very happy with the care and support provided, and with a few improvements to the app updates, the experience would be excellent.

ViewBoth my children are in this nursery with the 3rd joining the baby room at the end of the year. A great range of activities, time outside in the garden or visiting the nearby pond to interact with little ducklings or observe fish, which always delights my little ones. The current centre director, as well as the previous one, have the utmost care for any needs expressed by the children or parents, exceeding expectations in finding solutions to accommodate the requests. Verry happy with the place, constantly finding fun ways to engage with the children, friendly staff, great healthy food choices and an app that is constantly updated with what activities and milestones were achieved during the day. 5 stars indeed!

ViewOur little one has been at Edinburgh Park Busy Bees for almost a year now and loves it. We are delighted with the care provided and the communication is always great. Our little one especially loves to be outside which is encouraged and we love seeing the photos and updates of what the little ones have been up to. Would definitely recommend.
