Busy Bees Edinburgh Dean Terrace

After growing up with the lockdown he had not met other babies/kids. The team have been excellent with him and he has grown in self‑assurance. The facilities are outstanding and my son really enjoys his time there. The childcare centre has been excellent for my 20-month-old son.

My youngest is currently in pre-school. The team make this childcare centre, and the Manager and her team work very hard to ensure the kids are engaged and cheerful. Location means outdoor space is limited but they make full use of the garden at the back and the local area. They are out every day. My youngest had a severe milk allergy when she joined and the chef was stellar in catering for her. My daughter is very cheerful and indeed I get shouted at if I pick her up too early, which says it all really. Highly suggest. I have been a parent since 2016 when my eldest joined.

It’s such a relief to know that he enjoys the atmosphere. His friends, educators, the activities and looks forward to the days he attends. Highly suggest. My son has been attending this childcare centre since he was 11 months old (he is now nearly 4), and in this time the childcare centre has gone from strength to strength.

Staff work well with the parents to implement care plans. Varied and educational activities. My son loves it here. Highly suggest this childcare centre. Fantastic food that my son raves about. Absolutely fantastic team, they really care for the kids.

The team are welcoming and most importantly, my kids speak of them with warmth and the enjoyable they’ve had together. The girls settled in well and consistently run in, with only a quick bye back to me, which I take as a great sign! I have been cheerful with the food provided and the amount of outside time they have, with them often going for local walks. We are updated via an online discovering journal which works well and the centre director communicates any important messages via email. The childcare centre are also excellent at celebrating seasonal events and festivals, it’s consistently enjoyable to receive whatever craft creation they’ve been making related to this! Since moving to the area in August 2020 and my two girls starting here, we have a really excellent journey with this childcare centre.

The girls are all excellent with the kids and it is clear from how cheerful my kid is to go in by himself in the mornings, the positive relationships they have built with him. The updates has been outstanding since we started the childcare centre and they consistently listen to parental concerns. I would highly suggest this childcare centre.

She loves talking to me about her pals and the activities they do and what they eat. My daughter definitely gets a excellent range of new experiences at childcare centre and that is appreciated by the whole family. It is clear that she feels secure and looked after when she is there.
The team and director have been excellent with covid and lockdown. My daughter kept going to childcare centre throughout lockdown and as such moved nurseries a few times but was able to stay within the Busy Bees family. The team managed the disruption in a way that kept some continuity. This made it sense easier for all of us. My daughter has been at Dean Terrace since she turned 1 and has consistently enjoyed going in.

Not only are the levels of care exceptional, with tailored care, meals and contact to meet each individual kid and parent’s needs, but my son loves going to childcare centre and consistently comes home cheerful, excited to tell us about his day and tired from the wide array of activities. They spend a excellent deal of time outdoors, which can often be hard to find in a city centre establishment, and allows for a different side of discovering, adored by the kids.
The team are consistently inviting and welcoming, yet expert and the childcare centre management are quick to reply or make contact whenever an issue is raised. I cannot suggest New Town Nursery enough.

As he was born during lockdown he hadn’t had much interaction with other adults and kids and had spent the majority of his time with me so it was a big step to send him to childcare centre. I couldn’t be more pleased with how it is going, the team are excellent with my little boy and he has a big smile on his face when I drop him off and pick him up. He has been doing lots of enjoyable discovering activities and I have noticed a big jump in his development. The updates from the team to myself is also excellent too. He also receives a great variety of healthy foods. A excellent childcare centre with lovely team. My little boy is 10-months-old and had been attending the childcare centre for the last couple of months.

He was already a toddler and had been going to childcare centre regularly but this was a new location, new language as the previous childcare centre was in Dutch and all during Covid-19. We only have great things to say, the team made a huge effort around Christmas with loads of excellent activities including a Polar Express day where they welcomed the kids at the door with a special train ticket. They also made a huge effort to welcome the kids back after lockdown ended in February. The manager sends regular, proactive updates about the childcare centre and has been very organised during Covid-19. They often take the kids for walks in the local area, on other days they playtime in the childcare centre’s newly upgraded garden. The team give the impression of being tireless. Happy to suggest. After we moved house, our son transitioned to this childcare centre.
