    The staff at the nursery are all super welcoming and very knowledgable about the children and how they spend their time. I 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 nursery so we feel connected to his development – this can be a daily summary, a weekly newsletter and a quarterly parent’s evening.
    The team were brilliant 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 children at home.

    We all love this nursery! The team are fantastic with strong leadership and a real caring 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 staff throughout this time have been tremendous and I can not thank them enough. A beautiful team that matches the beautiful building and gardens! I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

    Our daughter has been attending this nursery now for almost two years, and absolutely loves her time here. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, complemented by the beautiful building and surrounding gardens. Our daughter quickly developed strong relationships with her key workers as she has progressed at the nursery, and has likewise made some great friendships with her classmates!

    My daughter started at Busy Bee’s in September 2019. I have been extremely impressed with the staff and the nursery. My daughter was extremely shy at first but her teachers always gave her a cuddle and made her feel comfortable. She now talks about her teachers constantly and calls them her friends. To a mummy it is so important knowing your child is being well looked after by the staff. The nursery is clean, well equipped ranging from a great library to an amazing and safe outdoor area. I can’t thank the staff and manager enough for allowing me to drop my daughter off to nursery knowing she is being well looked after by a great team!

    We have been so delighted that Busy Bees Glenalmond has re-opened. Our 2-year-old is so happy to be back. He asks to go in, even on the days he’s not meant to be there.
    I feel confident leaving our son in the capable hands of the staff at Busy Bees. I feel they are taking the safety measures very seriously in response to COVID-19.
    I highly recommend this nursery facility.

    The team at Busy Bees Glenalmond are absolutely fantastic. The new manager is friendly and approachable and does a fantastic 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 friendly and kind staff. They will call if there have been any problems, are flexible when it comes to special requests for nap time etc, and are really good at getting the children out in the garden as much as possible for some fresh air and a run around!
    Would highly recommend.

    We really appreciate all the measures that are in place and the professionalism of the staff. It’s great and reassuring to see a good organisation and such a nice atmosphere in the nursery. In a time of many unknowns, we are thankful for the carers and their attention to all of us.

    My son (now age four) has been at Busy Bees Glenalmond for nine months since we relocated. We have been really pleased with the whole experience. The staff are lovely and I was really touched that all the staff knew who my son was when we first arrived even though it is a large nursery 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 staff and lovely setting are a huge part of that.

    The staff at Glenalmond have continued to do a fantastic job over the last few months welcoming the children back. My son is very happy there and loves the big garden which is used daily. All the staff are very caring and do a brilliant job. Thank you.

    Our son has been attending the nursery now for nearly two years. At every stage of transition, he has been thoroughly supported and cared for. The staff 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 love and support for our child. He has settled back seamlessly and bounces out at the end of the day full of stories, songs and new games he has learnt.

    My Daughter loved her time at Busy Bees Glenalmond and now my son is enjoying his time there. The team are extremely caring and great at understanding my son’s traits and needs ensuring he feels settled and at ease.

    My son is due to finish his time at Glenalmond Busy Bees Nursery in the next few weeks to prepare for school, both he and my eldest son attended the nursery and have both really enjoyed their time here. The staff have always been welcoming, caring and supportive. They take the time to talk each day sharing updates but also little details about my son’s day. He has made great friends here and includes the staff when he talks about his friends at nursery. The vegetable soup will always be a favourite for them both.

    My child is very happy with Busy Bees at Glenalmond and is never unhappy to go. Our best recommendation for a toddler. Due to Covid-19 it’s hard to know what happens inside but what we see, we love.

    Despite starting in covid which was really difficult for the children on so many levels my children have really come to love the nursery. The decor of the nursery has been improved significantly making it much more bright, airy and cheerful. The staff are great and whilst I realise that there has been some turnover of staff the main room teachers have been excellent, particularly in toddler and pre-school. My children have really close bonds with their current and previous key workers. The nursery is good at listening and implementing changes when necessary which also gives me great confidence in the nursery. The outdoor space is also one of the massive plus points for the nursery.

    My child has attended Busy Bees Glenalmond from mid-2019 to the present and it has been a hugely positive experience for us both. The exceptional refurbishment and outside grounds coupled with the dedicated staff makes it an environment where children can thrive. The children’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 experience, the staff at Busy Bees Glenalmond are dedicated, professional, approachable and incredibly user-friendly for parents. Overall, a very happy parent of a very content child at Busy Bees Glenalmond.

    My daughter loves nursery. All the staff are friendly and she loves being around them and all the activities they do. The setting for the nursery is nice, with plenty of outdoor space for the children.

    Busy Bees Glenalmond is such a lovely nursery. As 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 staff 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 nursery was refurbished not long after we joined and the result is really beautiful. Glenalmond is already a very striking building with lovely surrounding grounds but now they have a lovely art studio, library and snug. The staff are so warm and caring, they have really looked after our little girl as well as making the whole family feel welcome. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and would confidently recommend it!

    My son attends this nursery since he was seven months old. He loves it here and so do I. Everybody knows each other and you feel like your child is in good hands. He learns so many new things there. I am so lucky that he can be here. Thank you!

    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. He 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 staff are always very welcoming when dropping him off and collecting and he is very comfortable with them. He is quite happy 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 nursery and I have absolutely no concerns about the level of care and engagement he receives.

    First of all, my son enjoys going to nursery everyday. He learned so much from there, from counting numbers, differentiating colours to singing songs, which is amazing for a toddler who is learning to speak . They also provide a lot of outdoor time as my son loves playing outside. As a parent, I am very happy with the staff, particularly the management team. They take very positive attitudes towards parents’ feedback and take prompt actions to address issues. Also, the staff always keep me updated about my son on the parent app with good pictures and video, and reach out to me if necessary. Overall, Busy Bees provides a safe, supportive and loving environment for my son. We are very happy with our choice.
