Anyone any opinions on Busy Bees Dean Terrace?

Does anyone know anything about Busy Bees Dean Terrace/ New Town? Is there a structure for activities or is it unstructured (my impression?). Also the parentzone app is never updated and that's where we're supposed to receive updates!

Google "busy bees dean terrace care inspectorate" and you'll find their inspection report. Not encouraging reading.

Hello, we're sending our baby to busy bees Forres Street , which is close to that one. I notice the care inspectorate report is a few years old though.

We really wanted Arbor House but didn't get a place.

Hi,

Would not recommend busy bees - this comes with experience with Forres Street. App is never updated, staff turn around is high and care gets worse as they progress into the order rooms.

@TTCY2022 we're using Forres Street and thinking of moving as they lost a child a few weeks ago

Are you free to chat? The app is rubbish

We're on the waiting list for Doune Terrace now

theotherfossilsister · 06/09/2023 12:53

@CSL5 did you end up finding another nursery?

TTCY2022 · 06/09/2023 17:50

@theotherfossilsister Yes, it was my 2 year old that they lost! We finally received the investigation report back last week. A lot of worrying information on it. We’ve got our son into a new nursery quite quickly, thankfully! Happy to send you the report to look at if you want. I would stay clear of all busy bees nurseries tbh.

theotherfossilsister · 06/09/2023 21:38

@TTCY2022 oh! Yes please can I see the report? We're looking at Doune Terrace as they might have space soon xx

theotherfossilsister · 06/09/2023 21:38

How terrifying for you x

@TTCY2022 they lost your child?? Wtf?

TTCY2022 · 06/09/2023 22:10

@toomanyleggingsYes. They left him in a park and didn’t notice. Thankfully a very kind local dog walker found him.

Edimum256 · 25/09/2023 18:37

Hi, would you mind sharing the report with me too please? Wondering if anyone has any nursery recommendations for a 13 month year old in the city centre/ west end please? I’ve checked out a few so far but none I’m sure on yet.

TTCY2022 · 26/09/2023 10:05

@Edimum256 of course. If you want to privately send me your email.

Teedeee · 18/01/2024 21:53

Omg this is awful! So scary. Glad your lo was ok. Could you please send me the report as I’m also looking for nurseries?
