    My daughter started this nursery at 3 months old and is currently in the pre-school foundation class. Meridian Busy Bees has helped her through her journey exceptionally well and I couldn’t fault them in any way. The staff are polite and the nursery is a fulfilling happy place! Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees Meridian. We will miss you when it’s time to move on to our daughter’s next chapter. I would highly recommend this nursery to children of all ages!

    My daughter started to attend Busy Bees during the pandemic after our original nursery refused to accept her. And we are very pleased how that turned out, as we couldn’t ask for a better nursery. We are comfortable dropping our little girl in the morning as she is very excited to go there. My little girl is very shy around her carers but they are taking their time and planning activities to help her come out of her ‘shell’. Since she started to attend the Busy Bees, she has grown into an independent, clever little girl. Thank you very much to every member of the team for keeping our children safe during the pandemic. They adapted very quickly to a new ‘normal’.

    Fantastic nursery, very friendly and professional staff. I feel totally at ease leaving my child, as I know she is so well looked after. My daughter loves attending and has made some great friends. My daughter’s attendance at the nursery will definitely make the transition to school easier.

    My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 5 months old and she’ll be leaving in August to start primary school. My partner and I have always been so happy with the nursery, the staff are lovely and nurturing the learning and play opportunities are great! Despite attending between 2 and 4 days a week, my daughter never complains about going, and never appears bored/lonely etc. My daughter’s development is exactly where it should be, if not above, and we thank the nursery for their input. The nursery’s efforts to support and keep everyone safe during COVID is not unnoticed either, thank you Busy Bees.

    Busy Bees has been amazing. Their reaction to the pandemic has been exemplary. My children have thrived at the nursery, the staff are wonderful. I have been able to buy extra sessions to fit around my work. It’s been a real comfort to know that they are well looked after.

    Busy Bees is an outstanding institution. The team are managed extremely well by the manager and co. The level of service provision has far exceeded my expectations.
    The adoption of the ParentZone application is great, keeping me informed of my daughter’s activities (including feeds, sleep, and play). Further, and perhaps most importantly, the team have been quick to call both parents with any pressing issues, such as illness.
    A final mention to my daughter’s key worker, who has played an instrumental role in my toddler’s development. It is warming to hear my 2-year-old daughter speaking so fondly of all her teachers/carers.
    A key indicator of the outstanding service is the simple case that I am able to work in peace, knowing that my daughter is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.

    Thank you Busy Bees!

    My daughter has been attending this nursery since September 2020 and started in the 0-2 years. She has recently moved upto 2-3 year olds.

    Staff in each room have been fantastic. Like any new parent we obviously had concerns of many ‘issues’ with our little one not doing this or that, but with advice and help from the staff, any concerns we had always went away.

    My little one has a special dietary requirement and the staff have always been helpful and make sure her requirements are always met.

    We are so glad we found this nursery, from the moment we saw the rooms and staff and the way kids were around the staff, we knew it would be the right one.

    My daughter started at Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian when she was 8 months old and she is now almost 4 and about to leave for School in August. The whole team have been instrumental in helping shape and develop my Daughter. They always go above and beyond for both my daughter and us as a family. She has been nurtured by all of her key workers and the surrounding team and I feel that mainly because of this that she is fully ready to start school. The centre director has always been welcoming and informative as well as supportive to us. The centre and the whole team of staff have handled the ever changing pandemic policies excellently, keeping parents well informed every step of the way and they’ve made a troubling time a lot easier! I cannot recommend the nursery enough and will be forever grateful for the involvement they’ve had in my Daughter’s life.

    My son joined the nursery when he was only 5 months and we can see how well he’s progressing. He loves going to Busy Bees every day and see how happy he is there. He’s really engaged with the team in general, so we don’t see any communication barriers, being bilingual.
    The communication between nursery/parents via the Parent Zone is excellent, we are always on track of what’s happening during the day, and for me, I find it really important to see a bit of my son’s daily life at the nursery. The team, in general, is really friendly and always available to answer any questions. I cannot recommend it enough.

    My daughter started at Busy Bees just over 1-year-old. She is now in the pre-school room 3-5’s. I was very anxious about leaving her at the start 2 days a week, but the manager and her team put me at ease from day one. Now at 3 years old and in the pre-school room my daughter is there each day and really enjoys it. She is learning new skills and her development is well observed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Busy Bees Meridian.

    My daughter has been coming to Busy Bees at Meridian since she was 10 months old and she’s now over 3!
    She absolutely loves it and has made a lovely group of friends.
    I always felt confident leaving my daughter from the get-go, and I have never had any concerns.
    Every time she has moved into a new room and changed key worker I’ve never had any problems.

    My son has been coming since August 2021. He really enjoys it. The staff are amazing! I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Had heard really good reviews and have to say I’m glad I chose this nursery for my son to attend.

    My daughter has attended here for nearly a year. She has come on so much, the careers are so kind and friendly to my daughter. She enjoys all the activities with her friends and I love getting pictures of her joining in.

    Our son has been going to this nursery since he was 1 year old and he is 3 now. During the pandemic, the staff have been so supportive and taken care of every minute detail to ensure that children are safe.

    Even though we moved a bit further away from the nursery I never thought of changing my child’s nursery as they take care of the child as their own. Not every nursery does that.

    Great start for the little humans in this world.
    Just what every child needs, especially when Covid is still around.
    Great place to make friends and develop your child, ready for the real world.
    Worth every penny.

    Busy Bees Meridian is an outstanding nursery. We would certainly recommend this nursery to our families and friends.
    The staff are excellent, well organised and their completed contribution towards every child’s stage by stage developments.
    Our oldest child was in Busy Bees and now our second child too. Both kids love this nursery and my second one happily goes into the nursery each morning with a happy smile. That clearly shows, that she thoroughly enjoys her day.

    Without a shadow of a doubt, we truly can say that this nursery is the best in our area.

    Busy Bees was the only nursery I went to see for my daughter who has been here from when she was 16 months and is now in 3-5’s. I love the interaction that she has with her key worker and the unique relationship that is built between them. The nursery has been outstanding through Covid and this continues. Every morning she is welcomed into the nursery which as parents is reassuring as leaving your precious child with anyone can be somewhat daunting! A fantastic nursery and I would recommend this to everyone. Make Busy Bees your only choice as we did

    My daughter has been coming to Busy Bees Meridian since she was 1 and has loved it since day one. The staff are all very friendly and caring and are a credit to the company.
    I am kept up to date daily on her activities and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
    The staff go out of their way to find nice activities and are very thoughtful on special occasions.
    I would highly recommend this nursery and believe it has given my daughter a great start In her learning.

    Our little one has been at Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian for 2 months and we can already see a significant difference in development.
    We were initially hesitant to send our child to a nursery, but in hindsight, we’re glad we did and choosing Busy Bees was the best decision we could have made. It is evident that the staff love what they do and this comes through in the way they look after the children. From the warm welcome in the morning, the helpful updates during the day and the handover back to parents at the end, the staff always go that extra step which is reassuring for us parents.
    Thank you to all at Busy Bees Meridian and I would definitely recommend you to other parents!

    This nursery has exceeded my expectations on all accounts.
    My daughter started here in Oct 2020 and to date, her development has been amazing. Her vocabulary has gone from lonely words into fully formed sentences.
    The staff at the nursery are all so friendly and well in tune with my daughter’s development points. I feel like she’s built a loving relationship with all her carers and nursery friends.
    The food provided is all healthy and varied and I’ve found that she eats better at nursery than she does at home.
    I’m kept fully updated throughout the day via the parent app and it’s lovely to see pictures and her diet during the day.
    We are always greeted with a smile at drop off by the manager and at pick up’s too. The carer will also let us know how she’s been during the day and if any issues etc let us know.
    I can’t fault yeh nursery at all and I am happy dropping her off in the mornings knowing she is in good hands.
