September 24, 2024 at 8:04 amThe team are remarkable with strong leadership and a real attentive ethos. My daughter absolutely adores spending time here and during COVID-19 lockdown was able to continue to attend due to staying open for key workers. The team throughout this time have been tremendous and I can not thank them enough. A lovely team that matches the lovely building and gardens! I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone! We all adore this childcare centre!

September 30, 2024 at 2:10 amOur 2-year-old is so cheerful to be back. He asks to go in, even on the days he’s not meant to be there.
I sense confident leaving our son in the capable hands of the team at Busy Bees. I sense they are taking the safety measures very seriously in response to COVID-19.
I highly suggest this childcare centre facility. We have been so delighted that Busy Bees Glenalmond has re-opened.

October 8, 2024 at 6:31 amI have been extremely impressed with the team and the childcare centre. My daughter was extremely shy at first but her educators consistently gave her a cuddle and made her sense comfortable. She now talks about her educators constantly and calls them her friends. To a mummy it is so important knowing your kid is being well looked after by the team. The childcare centre is spotless, well equipped ranging from a excellent library to an incredible and secure outdoor area. I can’t thank the team and manager enough for allowing me to drop my daughter off to childcare centre knowing she is being well looked after by a excellent team! My daughter started at Busy Bee’s in September 2019.

October 28, 2024 at 5:11 amHe learned so much from there, from counting numbers, differentiating colours to singing songs, which is incredible for a toddler who is discovering to speak . They also provide a lot of outdoor time as my son loves playing outside. As a parent, I am very cheerful with the team, particularly the management team. They take very positive attitudes towards parents’ feedback and take prompt actions to address issues. Also, the team consistently keep me updated about my son on the parent app with great pictures and video, and reach out to me if necessary. Overall, Busy Bees provides a secure, supportive and loving setting for my son. We are very cheerful with our choice. First of all, my son enjoys going to childcare centre everyday.

December 23, 2024 at 5:43 pmThe new manager is welcoming and approachable and does a remarkable job in keeping all the parents up to date. My youngest has only recently joined, and has settled in so well which is a testament to the welcoming and compassionate team. They will call if there have been any problems, are flexible when it comes to special requests for nap time etc, and are really great at getting the kids out in the garden as much as possible for some fresh air and a run around!
Would highly suggest. The team at Busy Bees Glenalmond are absolutely remarkable.

December 26, 2024 at 5:08 pmThe exceptional refurbishment and outside grounds coupled with the dedicated team makes it an setting where kids can thrive. The kids’s personalities are nurtured yet developed, they are cared for yet encouraged to be independent and are driven with so many activities and opportunities. In my journey, the team at Busy Bees Glenalmond are dedicated, expert, approachable and incredibly user-welcoming for parents. Overall, a very cheerful parent of a very content kid at Busy Bees Glenalmond. My kid has attended Busy Bees Glenalmond from mid-2019 to the present and it has been a hugely positive journey for us both.

January 7, 2025 at 8:42 pmThe team have consistently been welcoming, attentive and supportive. They take the time to talk each day sharing updates but also little details about my son’s day. He has made excellent friends here and includes the team when he talks about his friends at childcare centre. The vegetable soup will consistently be a favourite for them both. My son is due to finish his time at Glenalmond Busy Bees Childcare centre in the next few weeks to prepare for school, both he and my eldest son attended the childcare centre and have both really enjoyed their time here.

January 23, 2025 at 5:03 amThe decor of the childcare centre has been improved significantly making it much more bright, airy and cheerful. The team are excellent and whilst I realise that there has been some turnover of team the main room educators have been outstanding, particularly in toddler and pre-school. My kids have really close bonds with their current and previous key workers. The childcare centre is great at listening and implementing changes when necessary which also gives me excellent self‑assurance in the childcare centre. The outdoor space is also one of the massive plus points for the childcare centre. Despite starting in covid which was really difficult for the kids on so many levels my kids have really come to adore the childcare centre.

February 14, 2025 at 7:18 amAs a teacher myself, I had very specific things I was looking for when we chose nurseries and I viewed a lot before choosing it. My little girl joined when she was 11 months old (she’s now 28 months) and the team helped her (and us as parents) settle into our new routine. She has since moved up twice to different classrooms as she’s grown. Each classroom setting and variety of activities has matched her stage of development perfectly. The childcare centre was refurbished not long after we joined and the result is really lovely. Glenalmond is already a very striking building with lovely surrounding grounds but now they have a lovely art studio, library and snug. The team are so inviting and attentive, they have really looked after our little girl as well as making the whole family sense welcome. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of childcare centre and would confidently suggest it! Busy Bees Glenalmond is such a lovely childcare centre.

February 20, 2025 at 5:13 amWe have been really pleased with the whole journey. The team are lovely and I was really touched that all the team knew who my son was when we first arrived even though it is a large childcare centre and that was a really personal touch. I was wary of such a large place having come from a small childminder but he settled in and made friends quickly and I think the team and lovely setting are a huge part of that. My son (now age four) has been at Busy Bees Glenalmond for nine months since we relocated.

March 3, 2025 at 4:12 pmI leave my son there knowing that he will be cared for and learn and develop at the right pace for his age group.
We get regular updates of what is going on in childcare centre so we sense connected to his development – this can be a daily summary, a weekly newsletter and a quarterly parent’s evening.
The team were exceptional during lockdown, keeping us informed of what was going on, showing care for individual circumstances and giving us ideas of how to entertain and develop kids at home. The team at the childcare centre are all super welcoming and very knowledgable about the kids and how they spend their time.

March 17, 2025 at 12:38 amHe loves it here and so do I. Everybody knows each other and you sense like your kid is in great hands. He learns so many new things there. I am so lucky that he can be here. Thank you! My son attends this childcare centre since he was seven months old.

March 25, 2025 at 7:09 amThe team are extremely welcoming and welcoming, complemented by the lovely building and surrounding gardens. Our daughter quickly developed strong relationships with her key workers as she has progressed at the childcare centre, and has likewise made some excellent friendships with her classmates! Our daughter has been attending this childcare centre now for almost two years, and absolutely loves her time here.

March 30, 2025 at 7:39 amHe is too young to tell me what he has been up to during the day, but I get regular updates through the ParentZone App which keeps me up to date with his development. The team are consistently very welcoming when dropping him off and collecting and he is very comfortable with them. He is quite cheerful to wave bye to me and march off with his room workers to have breakfast as soon as he arrives. He knows food is more important than daddy.
He is very settled in the routine of the childcare centre and I have absolutely no concerns about the level of care and engagement he receives. My son (21 months) has been at Glenalmond for coming up on a year now and as far as I can tell is absolutely thriving.

May 21, 2025 at 11:23 amAt every stage of transition, he has been thoroughly supported and cared for. The team go above and beyond to form positive relationships and encourage his development. Coming out of lockdown we were apprehensive about so many changes to day to day life; Busy Bees has remained constant in their adore and assistance for our kid. He has settled back seamlessly and bounces out at the end of the day full of stories, songs and new games he has learnt. Our son has been attending the childcare centre now for nearly two years.

June 7, 2025 at 4:21 amOur best recommendation for a toddler. Due to Covid-19 it’s hard to know what happens inside but what we see, we adore. My kid is very cheerful with Busy Bees at Glenalmond and is never unhappy to go.

July 3, 2025 at 4:38 amIt’s excellent and reassuring to see a great organisation and such a nice atmosphere in the childcare centre. In a time of many unknowns, we are thankful for the carers and their attention to all of us. We really appreciate all the measures that are in place and the professionalism of the team.
