September 5, 2024 at 4:13 pmOur only regret about sending him to Busy Bees Melrose is that we did not send him sooner. Due to personal home circumstances it has been difficult to time manage this, that and the other but Busy Bees Melrose have been extremely understanding and accommodating with extra hours or change of days where needed. My two, now nearly three-year-old little one was not too used to other youngsters and his speech was exceptionally minimal but since his time there his confidence has come on leaps and bounds, but also not only is his speech much better, but he comes home with a new song or two, he tells us things he observes and is better at asking for things. Busy Bees Melrose is an excellent environment with wonderful crew.

October 8, 2024 at 5:19 amBoth my husband and I are key workers for the NHS and we would not have been able to cope without the help and security we are provided by the personnel at Melrose Busy Bees. They really take the time to get to know your kids making the kids delighted and excited to enrol at nursery setting. Our eldest young lad joined before starting school prior year and I can honestly say that the team and sites are remarkable.

October 15, 2024 at 1:57 pmMy only issue is parents having to pay fees on days when the childcare centre makes the decision to close eg bank holidays, snow days, when the boiler was broken. I think this policy should be revised. The team are so welcoming and genuinely attention for the little ones, developing special bonds with them. The outside space is particularly good as are the meals served. The management of the early‑years hub is fantastic. Both my sons join Busy Bees, Melrose and I leave them in in the morning knowing they are spending the day in a truly pleased, caring and secure setting.

December 4, 2024 at 8:58 amThe team are fantastic, extremely cordial, supportive and always accommodating. Our boy enjoys Busy Bees and he is always cheerful to go back. Busy Bees Melrose is a fantastic nursery setting, it is well organised, exceptionally spotless and secure. We strongly endorse Busy Bees Melrose for any parent who is looking for peace of mind knowing that their kid is best cared for. The girls have done an excellent job with my son’s headway and we are exceptionally pleased with the care and enjoy they show him. The little ones have lots of educational and outdoor activities which promotes their exploring and physical progress.

December 7, 2024 at 4:29 pmHe is outside almost every day playing in the sandbox or in wigwams made out of branches which he really adores. He eats really well and the crew are excellent at getting him to try new things but don’t seem stressed when he doesn’t want to eat things and will give him something else instead. We are really delighted with Busy Bees. Our little boy enjoyed his old childcare centre but seems even happier here – as soon as he sees it he throws his arms in the air and yells ‘nursery!’ He talks about the crew as his friends and seems to have an incredible time every day doing all sorts of activities that we probably just wouldn’t have their energy, let alone the imagination to do with him. I don’t think we could be any happier with it, thanks to everyone there.

December 26, 2024 at 6:46 pmAcross the four different rooms, he has joined (as he has grown) the crew have all had the same high levels of professionalism and care. His advancement has also been encouraged at each stage. I’m really pleased with the decision we made when choosing Busy Bees. In this time he has received nothing but first‑rate care from everyone involved. He has strong relationships with lots of the crew and enjoys going in every day. My boy has joined Busy Bees Melrose since he was nine months old – he is now three.

January 22, 2025 at 9:18 pmWe are given a run down each day of what he has done, eaten etc and little one always comes home saying how great his day has been. Fantastic nursery setting, extremely kind and supportive crew, my youngster has been there for over 2 years now and is unbelievable how much he has come on and could not think of any other childcare who could top it. A+++ for this early‑years hub.

January 29, 2025 at 8:06 amOur boy adores attending and always comes home so thrilled and full of energy and enthusiasm. This nursey is fantastic. Always seem attentive to the needs of the little ones as individuals and do a variety of activities plus plenty of outdoor time. Could not advocate it strongly enough! The fact that it is all-inclusive means it is extremely convenient for a busy working parent. Staff are always kind and welcoming and operate a home from home atmosphere for the babies and tweenies which is truly nurturing. The food is great and they have their own chef which I think is just incredible!

February 5, 2025 at 2:33 pmHe is a smiley delighted boy. I can see he has a great rapport with the team and has made friends with other youngsters. My little one thoroughly enjoys his days there with all the super facilities, activities and delicious, nutritious food! All the crew at Busy Bees have been so cheerful, welcoming, attentive and loving, and have made us feel exceptionally special. Thank you Busy Bees!

March 26, 2025 at 4:05 amI can not suggest Busy Bees, Melrose enthusiastically enough. From the incredible crew to the lovely rooms and fantastic activities for the little ones, this nursery setting is absolutely wonderful. I feel as though it is a proper little community and I’m so glad that we can be part of it. They’ve accommodated us and never made us feel as though any of our questions are silly. My little one is truly small but the team take exceptional support of him and have been nothing but supportive and understanding. We’re always given a full rundown at the end of the day about how he’s been and they are always so pleased to see him.

April 6, 2025 at 12:31 amThey have great kitchen crew and offer a good variety of food for the kids. There were regular updates about her advancement, lots of time playing outdoors. She has really enjoyed her time in Busy Bees and I would definitely suggest this nursery setting to other. Staff have been truly encouraging of our girl. We had a few settle sessions and they went extremely well. I chose Busy Bees at Melrose as it was extremely close to my workplace.

April 29, 2025 at 5:25 pmLast Friday we were able to see our eldest boy perform his Christmas concert via Teams. We were so thankful and lucky to be able to see him singing and we’ve enjoyed preparing with him at home too. The kids performed so well and the level of effort and preparation that had been put in by the personnel was both considerable and most evident! So a huge thank you to all the team involved and much appreciated! The kids sang about six songs and they were encouraged and praised throughout. It was clear how much time and effort had gone into the short concert and the fact that despite not being able to go into nursery setting to watch as in previous years the Teams link was created for parents to see. There were actually three separate performances on different days and at different times, so as to accommodate different working schedules.

May 22, 2025 at 4:49 amLoving having my wee one in the early‑years hub and hoping she will be there until she is ready for school. Lovely personnel and fantastic management make all the difference. Can’t fault the place. Fantastic, well equipped, cordial, useful, approachable, kind, fun, accommodating early‑years hub that I would enthusiastically endorse to anyone who asked.

June 12, 2025 at 11:50 pmI have two little ones here in different rooms. They mostly carry out our wishes regarding naps/meals/medications and give good feedback on how the youngsters are doing. They are well looked after and always greeted by cordial and approachable crew.
