Busy Bees Edinburgh Forres Street

My daughter has been at this nursery 3 years, we’ve always had competent, kind and engaged staff, good management, and a safe and happy environment for the children. In 3 years I’ve never seen anything that concerned me or had reason to question anything the staff have done. Every time I’ve had a concern about my DD’s development or interactions, the staff have been very happy to discuss it. Across 2 children I’ve used several nurseries over the years, and I’ve stuck with this one the longest – a good balance of child lead play and a little bit of structure to the day, my DD has made many friends in her nursery and is always happy to go. The staff turnover is low for a nursery, the same key staff have been there for a good length of time and there has been progression for some staff, which is another good sign. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone, exactly what we wanted from a nursery.

The practitioners have a high level of professionalism and have provided excellent care in all of the rooms. The food is healthy and prepared daily onsite and the children go out every day into the fresh air. Activities are varied and the online journals inform parents of what the kids have been up to. Our children very much enjoy their time at New Town Nursery Too. As parents, we feel our children are very well looked after.

We love the nursery. It has a lovely feel about it and my child adores all the teachers.

Both children love going to the nursery and have very much enjoyed their time ever since they first started at 8 months old. My husband and I have been incredibly impressed with all their nurturing care and professional approach to childcare. For the last 2.5 years, we have been with the nursery, we have come across very low staff turnover. The staff are always friendly and approachable. The management team are very helpful and constantly provide communication to the parents. Thank you so much for all you have done in making our children feel comfortable, cared for and safe which give us full peace of mind at work. Fantastic five-star care and I cannot recommend enough to all parents.

I have had all three of my boy’s journey through all the rooms as New Town and am so impressed by the team there. I have felt extremely comfortable leaving my children there under the management of the director. Superb experience and one I have recommended to friends already.

There are scary moments in a family’s life, especially when you move to a new country and your little son will start nursery in a language that he does not speak. However Busy Bees, Forres Street welcomed him in the most appropriate way, helped him to settle, has been patient with him and also with us as parents. The whole atmosphere gives you comfort that your little one will be safe and will have fun, too. Special thanks to one member of staff in particular, who dedicates wonderful attention to our son and we hope to stay long years here. We are very thankful!
