We've had a really positive experience with Busy Bees Meridian in Leicester. Our daughter settled in quickly, which was such a relief for us, especially after relocating from London. Carly and her team have been wonderful in supporting the transition and making us feel at ease during what could have
been a stressful time.
The key workers do a fantastic job caring for the children, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy what they do. Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery, which says a lot about the warm and nurturing environment they've created.
We're very grateful for the support and would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

My daughters started back in October following a poor experience at a previous nursery. We have been beyond happy with everything at Busy Bees. The girls took a little while to settle in but the staff there are patient and kind and now they love to go to nursery. They have built good relationships with
their keyworkers and the other staff and I get timely updates on what they have been doing, eating etc.

From the moment we decided on Busy Bees Nursery for our daughter it hasn't disappointed us. Always the best care and support from day one. Daily activities and the learning for the kids is all well thought out. Watching her develop with the help of them team is amazing to see. The bonds and connections
made is something I didn't expect but am so grateful for. The app being introduced is a brilliant feature and provides regular updates throughout the day. Photos and messages can be sent which is a plus for me and many others I'm sure. Extra reassurance is always welcomed. Left my child a few times crying which I hate but moments later have a message on the app saying she's absolutely fine and eating breakfast. My day immediately is better knowing this . Thank you busy bees

I have sent both my children to Busy Bees Oadby due to the excellent care for my children. Natasha, the nursery manager, is extremely accommodating and understanding. She will listen to any concretes you may have and act on them as soon as she can. The staff are very personable and listen when it comes
to the needs of the children. The new app is great to keep up with the children's day and payment is also in the same place making it extremely convenient. Highly recommend!

My son is cared for in every way possible and I feel confident leaving him at nursery. They helped me and him with the transition of starting nursery to absolutely loving it! Nothing is too much for the staff here. They talk about the children with so much pride as if they are their own kids. I was
nervous starting my son at nursery but Busy Bees Meridian would be my choice every time! My son has developed so much socially and constantly learning more and more.
Thankful for the great staff and nurturing people they are.

My daughter recently transitioned to her new room in the nursery, so for her it was all new surroundings and staff members, but with all the help and support from the team by the end of the week she had settled in to the change and is now getting involved with all the activities they do day to day,
when choosing a nursery for your child it can be a stressful time, but the moment we walked in for our visit back in 2025, I knew this nursery was the one for my daughter, if you have been thinking about having a look around don't delay has you will not be disappointed absolutely amazing staff and there never any doubt that my daughter won't have a fabulous day learning through all the play activities they do daily.

I am extremely happy with this nursery. The staff are amazing, friendly, and always willing to help. My son absolutely loves all the staff and is always happy and excited to go in each day.
Since starting at the nursery, he has learnt so much and his confidence has grown so much too. The manager,
Natasha , and all the girls are always so welcoming and greet everyone with a big smile, which creates such a warm and friendly environment.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and nurturing place for their child.

My daughter attends this nursery and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and attentive, and they clearly have a genuine passion for working with children. From the moment we walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and safe, which gives
me great peace of mind as a parent.
The team always keep me updated on my daughter's development, what she's been learning, and the activities she enjoys during the day. I love that they provide a good balance of learning, play and creativity, which has really helped build her confidence and social skills.
The nursery is always clean, organised and well set up with plenty of engaging activities for the children. It's clear that the staff put a lot of effort into creating a fun and nurturing environment where the children can grow and thrive.
Most importantly, my daughter is always happy and excited to go, which says everything. I would highly recommend this nursery!

I now have my 2nd child at Busy Bees and they have both absolutely loved it. The team work really hard to maximise playtime with the kids- they really do achieve so many things in 1 day, its incredible. My son (now in foundation) used to have severe separation anxiety but every morning the team were
brilliant at dealing with this issue and we kept coming up with ways to make the transition easier. Now he's in foundation, he doesnt even look back to say goodbye. The team have also helped with potty/toilet training which has made my life so much easier now.
All issues seem to be dealt with efficiently and now that we have the app its so easy to keep track of what's going on.
The food is my son's highlight and there is always a large variety of cuisines each week which the children are exposed to.
The huge outside area is the main reason as to why I chose this nursery- its just brilliant and they spend so much time outside during the warmer months which is ideal.

My little girl attends Busy Bees in Bitteswell and the staff are the loveliest people. They are so kind, caring and have great communication with parents. They know my daughter so well, understanding her little noises and encouraging her funny personality.
The management team always take the time to
talk to you and are happy to help if you have any questions or confusion about funding. There are always fun activities planned for the children which really support her development.
We are so grateful to everyone there for the care they give our baby. Amazing team!

My daughter has recently started here and the staff have been incredible. I feel really confident leaving her there knowing that she is going to be well cared for. The entire facility is fantastic but the staff are the main selling point of the nursery and clearly take a lot of pride in what they do.
Each staff member knows all the children in the room and what they like (such as book preferences) and not just their key children. My daughter loves the food and has such an array of different meals which is helping to develop her tastes (as she's still weaning). Just overall fantastic nursery.
