September 4, 2024 at 1:06 pmAll the team have been so welcoming and attentive and we have seen him grow in self‑assurance since starting. The activities that he takes part in are incredible and they offer a variety throughout. The childcare centre offers a welcoming setting and he is excited to attend each day. The childcare centre uses an app to update us about our son’s day and also if needed we can have a 1 on 1 chat with a keyworker. We sense secure with him being at this remarkable childcare centre. My son has been at this childcare centre for a year now and he absolutely loves it.

September 11, 2024 at 6:46 pmMy son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 8 months old, he is now 4 in the preschool room and due to start school in August. He has enjoyed every day he has gone into childcare centre. I have full self‑assurance in the team and will be sad to see him leave in August. Reliable, secure and would highly suggest. Great value for money with the childcare centre providing nappies, milk and food which made my morning less stressful. Fantastic childcare centre.

September 22, 2024 at 4:08 pmOur wee one has attended here since 10 months old and I believe it has greatly improved her development. We receive daily updates and pictures of the kids’ daily adventures, meals, sleep and nappies. They spend a lot of time in the garden or just walking around the area. We learned some childcare centre rhymes from our wee one she learned at childcare centre.
They have an on-site chef whom prepares fresh meals for the kids daily. Haven’t seen the meals, but our kid never comes home hungry and if she doesn’t like something, there is consistently an option for something else. They also have fresh fruit daily.
I would like to mention some of our wee one’s favourite people here: one team member, in particular, is a gem in the baby room, also another team member, one of the room managers, a senior room manager and the centre director.
Glad we found this childcare centre and even though it’s not cheap, it’s worth every penny. Great childcare centre with lovely team.

September 24, 2024 at 8:04 pmShe started when she was 1.5 years old. She was cheerful from the beginning when she started attending the childcare centre. We have been well informed about the development our daughter has made. The childcare centre has big rooms which are spotless and secure. Kids spend a lot of time in the garden when they have lots of toys. The team are welcoming and supportive. Highly suggest this childcare centre. I have a daughter in the childcare centre.

November 8, 2024 at 5:42 pmThe team are incredible and have taken excellent steps in order to make the transition back to childcare centre after lockdown as seamless as possible. The new app is excellent with being able to see photos of what the kids are doing in the day, it’s reassuring but also excellent to be involved in their day in some tiny way. Staff are consistently cheerful and seem to genuinely adore the kids like their own. A excellent variety of food choices and allergies are taken very seriously. My daughter loves coming to childcare centre.

December 17, 2024 at 3:38 pmHe talks about his friends, educators, food (mostly!). The new app works well for daily updates, too and I adore when they share photos of his daily activities. Some other pluses: meals are cooked in-house daily, the childcare centre is moving away from using plastic toys… I already recommended and would again. For me, the best feedback is my kid looking forward to going to the childcare centre and hopping in every morning.

December 26, 2024 at 9:06 amMy daughter has only started here but my son also previously attended this childcare centre. Both of my kids loved it and them being very different personalities, the Busy Bees team managed to assistance them in an individual way, adapting team and setting to their needs. I believe Busy Bees have enhanced their life journey. My daughter who is only 15 months loves going to the childcare centre and every day shows us new skills she has learnt. She is very cheerful before and after. She found it hard of course to start with and separation from me but the team went above and beyond to help her settle in. I genuinely sense that the team care and adore my daughter and one really cannot ask for more. The activities are interesting and the setting is something that my daughter wouldn’t have had at home. She is free to explore and activities are thoughtfully designed and regularly developed and changed for the kids. The food is excellent too! Thank you. I and my family are so impressed with the Busy Bees at Edinburgh Park!

January 4, 2025 at 2:32 pmMy boy has been there for almost 2 years and they are doing wonderfully in strengthening his character. Covid has been hard, but they are so supportive throughout. Great team, settles your kid from room to room with an easy transition.
Spencer Delaney
January 8, 2025 at 8:19 pmThere’s consistently lots of celebrations of events, lots of variety of activities and both my kids have consistently been cheerful attending. We have been using Busy Bees at Edinburgh Park for a number of years, firstly for our son and now for our daughter.
Staff are welcoming and supportive and despite Covid restrictions and not being allowed to go into the childcare centre, we are getting regular written updates and photos via the app.

January 29, 2025 at 3:17 amThey care for each kid. Special care is given and they delight in. My daughter has been part of this childcare centre for the last 3 years and now I have my son also going to the same childcare centre. Best care and lovely team. Best childcare centre in Edinburgh with a spotless and hygienic setup and great food.

March 23, 2025 at 10:03 pmLovely place, lovely team and freshly cooked food. Can’t suggest enough! The childcare centre manager is consistently smiling and cheerful to help. My son has been going to the childcare centre since he was a toddler.

April 10, 2025 at 4:03 amShe has come on leaps and bounds during her time here so far and I sense cheerful leaving her knowing she is well looked after. The team are all very inviting and welcoming, it’s in a excellent location and the opening hours suit my working patterns. I also adore the daily updates and pictures via the app! This childcare centre has been excellent for my daughter.

April 11, 2025 at 4:44 pmI have noticed that there are a few new members of team since we last visited this childcare centre. Overall the team are very welcoming and I’m cheerful that my kid is under their adore and care. I am a returning parent to this childcare centre, my first kid left this childcare centre 20 months ago.
Shawn Bishop
April 15, 2025 at 12:01 amShe loves her time there as well as the activities, team and friends she is making. We are very fortunate that team turnover appears low so she can strike up these important relationships. I think her time at Busy Bees has been fundamental to her discovering and development.
Unfortunately, due to Covid and works ongoing at the childcare centre we have been unable to visit and see the space much over her near two-year duration there. This could be better communicated with parents, however, I look forward to parents being allowed back into the childcare centre to allow for a more engaging relationship between parents/carers and the childcare centre. Overall, we are pleased with our daughter’s time at Busy Bees.

April 19, 2025 at 2:23 amShe absolutely adores going to childcare centre to see her educators and friends. I sense at ease when she’s there because I know she’s in the best hands and having an incredible time! Her educators show her adore, care and attention that she would get at home which a think is so special. I have noticed a huge improvement in her speech, we can collect her from childcare centre and she will tell us in full detail on all the enjoyable and everything she’s learnt that day. We are constantly updated on pictures, what they are up to and what they have eaten. They are remarkable at keeping in touch and any worries they consistently let me know right away. I would absolutely suggest Busy Bees Edinburgh Park we couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre and its remarkable educators! My daughter joined Busy Bees, Edinburgh Park in January and it’s been remarkable since she joined!

April 24, 2025 at 11:10 pmOur daughter has attended since around 9-months and is now 2. She has just moved into the toddler room. In each room, the team have been excellent at helping her adjust and gain self‑assurance. We get feedback every day and can view her development on the app. This allows us to see
meals/naps/changes/observations/activities. Meals are well balanced, and the menu changes with the season. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the team either via email or phone. Whether it’s to put your mind at ease or talk through financials. Location slightly limits outside journey, though can walk around the three locks close by. But no access to playpark or other experiences. To my knowledge, they don’t travel anywhere on public transport or have access to mutual programmes like visiting care homes. Only what activities they have in gardens. Would suggest though. As both my husband and I work in the business park so close proximity is a no brainer. Very pleased with the childcare centre.
Spencer Sutton
April 26, 2025 at 12:56 pmWe adore that the app gives you updates on how your kid is getting on each day and the team are so supportive, nothing is ever too much hassle! This is a excellent childcare centre, with lovely team and exceptional facilities.
Avery Clarke
April 30, 2025 at 2:19 pmHe now waves us off at the door happily and enjoys all of the activities the childcare centre provides daily. The team are all very welcoming and provide regular updates on how things are going and what activities are done each day. Excellent childcare centre! My son has attended the childcare centre for a few months now and the team have been remarkable helping him to settle in.
Alex Lawson
May 18, 2025 at 7:13 amI have consistently been really cheerful with the level of care and quality of the facilities at the childcare centre. The team are all lovely and seem to really care about the kids and parents alike. The app is excellent for keeping track of what my son has had to eat at childcare centre and I delight in the photo updates too! Most importantly, my son enjoys his time there My son has been attending Busy Bees since he was 12 months old, he is now in the preschool room!
Elliot Hayes
June 1, 2025 at 10:05 amThe team are just remarkable. My kid has made a lot of friends at the childcare centre. English is not this first language, he had problems with updates initially but the team have been very patient and encouraging. I would highly suggest the childcare centre to any new parents. Have been sending my kid to the childcare centre for the past 4 months.
