September 8, 2024 at 6:24 pmAnd we are highly pleased how that turned out, as we couldn’t ask for a better childcare centre. We are comfortable dropping our little girl in the morning as she is highly excited to go there. My little girl is highly 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 highly much to every member of the team for keeping our kids secure during the pandemic. They adapted highly quickly to a new ‘normal’. My daughter started to attend Busy Bees during the pandemic after our original childcare centre refused to accept her.

September 26, 2024 at 4:22 pmHe loves going to Busy Bees every day and see how cheerful he is there. He’s truly engaged with the team in general, so we don’t see any updates barriers, being bilingual.
The updates between childcare centre/parents via the Parent Zone is outstanding, we are consistently on track of what’s happening during the day, and for me, I find it truly important to see a bit of my son’s daily life at the childcare centre. The team, in general, is truly welcoming and consistently available to answer any questions. I cannot suggest it enough. My son joined the childcare centre when he was only 5 months and we can see how well he’s progressing.

October 12, 2024 at 1:22 amExcellent place to make friends and develop your kid, ready for the real world.
Worth every penny. Excellent start for the little humans in this world.
Just what every kid needs, especially when Covid is still around.

October 14, 2024 at 10:58 amI sense totally at ease leaving my kid, as I know she is so well looked after. My daughter loves attending and has made some excellent friends. My daughter’s attendance at the childcare centre will definitely make the transition to school easier. Remarkable childcare centre, highly welcoming and expert team.

October 17, 2024 at 1:57 amHe truly enjoys it. The team are incredible! I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough! Had heard truly great reviews and have to say I’m glad I chose this childcare centre for my son to attend. My son has been coming since August 2021.

October 25, 2024 at 3:19 amMeridian Busy Bees has helped her through her journey exceptionally well and I couldn’t fault them in any way. The team are polite and the childcare centre is a fulfilling cheerful place! Thank you to all the team at Busy Bees Meridian. We will miss you when it’s time to move on to our daughter’s next chapter. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to kids of all ages! My daughter started this childcare centre at 3 months old and is currently in the pre-school foundation class.

December 20, 2024 at 9:16 pmMy partner and I have consistently been so cheerful with the childcare centre, the team are lovely and nurturing the discovering and playtime opportunities are excellent! 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 childcare centre for their input. The childcare centre’s efforts to assistance and keep everyone secure during COVID is not unnoticed either, thank you Busy Bees. My daughter has attended the childcare centre since she was 5 months old and she’ll be leaving in August to start primary school.

December 22, 2024 at 2:46 amDuring the pandemic, the team have been so supportive and taken care of every minute detail to ensure that kids are secure.
Even though we moved a bit further away from the childcare centre I never thought of changing my kid’s childcare centre as they take care of the kid as their own. Not every childcare centre does that. Our son has been going to this childcare centre since he was 1 year old and he is 3 now.

December 29, 2024 at 10:18 pmWe were initially hesitant to send our kid to a childcare centre, 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 team adore what they do and this comes through in the way they look after the kids. From the inviting welcome in the morning, the supportive updates during the day and the handover back to parents at the end, the team consistently go that extra step which is reassuring for us parents.
Thank you to all at Busy Bees Meridian and I would definitely suggest you to other parents! Our little one has been at Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian for 2 months and we can already see a significant difference in development.

February 16, 2025 at 5:04 pmShe is now in the pre-school room 3-5’s. I was highly 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 truly enjoys it. She is discovering new skills and her development is well observed. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Busy Bees Meridian. My daughter started at Busy Bees just over 1-year-old.

March 1, 2025 at 2:59 pmThe whole team have been instrumental in helping shape and develop my Daughter. They consistently 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 sense that mainly because of this that she is fully ready to start school. The centre director has consistently been welcoming and informative as well as supportive to us. The centre and the whole team of team 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 suggest the childcare centre enough and will be forever grateful for the involvement they’ve had in my Daughter’s life. 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.

March 26, 2025 at 11:33 amWe would certainly suggest this childcare centre to our families and friends.
The team are outstanding, well organised and their completed contribution towards every kid’s stage by stage developments.
Our oldest kid was in Busy Bees and now our second kid too. Both kids adore this childcare centre and my second one happily goes into the childcare centre each morning with a cheerful smile. That clearly shows, that she thoroughly enjoys her day.
Without a shadow of a doubt, we truly can say that this childcare centre is the best in our area. Busy Bees Meridian is an outstanding childcare centre.

March 28, 2025 at 6:16 pmThe team are all highly welcoming and attentive 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 team.
The team go out of their way to find nice activities and are highly thoughtful on special occasions.
I would highly suggest this childcare centre and believe it has given my daughter a excellent start In her discovering. My daughter has been coming to Busy Bees Meridian since she was 1 and has loved it since day one.
Alex Underwood
April 5, 2025 at 6:17 amShe absolutely loves it and has made a lovely group of friends.
I consistently 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 daughter has been coming to Busy Bees at Meridian since she was 10 months old and she’s now over 3!
Sawyer Drake
April 17, 2025 at 6:45 amMy daughter started here in Oct 2020 and to date, her development has been incredible. Her vocabulary has gone from lonely words into fully formed sentences.
The team at the childcare centre are all so welcoming and well in tune with my daughter’s development points. I sense like she’s built a loving relationship with all her carers and childcare centre friends.
The food provided is all healthy and varied and I’ve found that she eats better at childcare centre 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 consistently 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 childcare centre at all and I am cheerful dropping her off in the mornings knowing she is in great hands. This childcare centre has exceeded my expectations on all accounts.
Jordan Quinn
April 22, 2025 at 8:38 pmThe team are managed exceptionally well by the manager and co. The level of service provision has far exceeded my expectations.
The adoption of the ParentZone application is excellent, keeping me informed of my daughter’s activities (including feeds, sleep, and playtime). 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 educators/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 secure, loving, and nurturing setting.
Thank you Busy Bees! Busy Bees is an outstanding institution.

June 3, 2025 at 5:18 amShe has come on so much, the careers are so compassionate and welcoming to my daughter. She enjoys all the activities with her friends and I adore getting pictures of her joining in. My daughter has attended here for nearly a year.

June 8, 2025 at 7:38 amTheir reaction to the pandemic has been exemplary. My kids have thrived at the childcare centre, the team are fantastic. 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 has been incredible.
Avery Pierce
June 27, 2025 at 11:32 pmShe has recently moved upto 2-3 year olds.
Team in each room have been remarkable. 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 team, any concerns we had consistently went away.
My little one has a special dietary requirement and the team have consistently been supportive and make sure her requirements are consistently met.
We are so glad we found this childcare centre, from the moment we saw the rooms and team and the way kids were around the team, we knew it would be the right one. My daughter has been attending this childcare centre since September 2020 and started in the 0-2 years.

June 30, 2025 at 11:59 pmI adore the interaction that she has with her key worker and the unique relationship that is built between them. The childcare centre has been outstanding through Covid and this continues. Every morning she is welcomed into the childcare centre which as parents is reassuring as leaving your precious kid with anyone can be somewhat daunting! A remarkable childcare centre and I would suggest this to everyone. Make Busy Bees your only choice as we did Busy Bees was the only childcare centre I went to see for my daughter who has been here from when she was 16 months and is now in 3-5’s.
