The whole team at Busy Bees Leicester Blaby have made my daughter settle in and put me at ease when leaving her for work. A big shout-out to the manager, she is very approachable and is great at what she does and also my daughter's key worker, she has been fab! I would highly recommend this nursery. The whole staff team are very caring towards the children and show great relationships! Even through the COVID period, the nursery has been good with communicating and keeping us all informed of their practice! 5* Busy Bees!
My daughter attends nursery 3 days a week and loves it, the staff are fantastic and very professional, my daughter's first keyworker is very professional and so polite my daughter loved her, then she moved into preschool with the keyworkers who are fantastic with my daughter, and always reassure me. The nursery manager is always there to greet my daughter in the morning with the covid 19 situation. I would like to add that if the nursery was not open, my job may have been affected due to the covid 19, but the manager was always there with a smile under her mask, I would highly recommend the nursery,
I couldn’t recommend the nursery more! They’ve really helped my foster son settle and start to feel secure after a rocky start for him. He’s absolutely loving going to nursery. He’s development has come on so much since being there and is making some great connections.
Busy Bees have been amazing with my son, who has attended since being a baby. The staff and procedures have been amazing over the last few months and the staff and manager have ensured everything is as normal as possible for the children! I would definitely recommend Busy Bees Blaby.
Busy Bees Blaby is a lovely nursery, my child has been attending since a baby and still loves going every week. The staff are caring and genuinely want to provide the best support for the children. The nursery is always clean and a varied menu of food each week. The toys and activities are creative and engaging and are changed regularly. I definitely would recommend this nursery.
Thank you for the outstanding excellent care the whole staff team at Blaby Leicestershire have given and continue to do so for my daughter. The staff have been amazing over the last few months especially continuing to adapt to changes and still providing an outstanding childcare facility throughout I can't thank the manager and the team enough. My daughter enjoys going and is learning so much. I would definitely recommend this facility thank you team Blaby.
We really appreciate your kind and caring approach and wanted to make sure your management were aware of the great job you are doing.
My son has gained so much confidence since being in the big room, he loves to come and now has friends that he wants to come and see. Staff are happy and approachable.
Would recommend Blaby Busy Bees to any parent.
My niece has been attending since she was 9 months old and now ready for the next chapter in her life in starting big school. Thanks to the staff she has come on leaps and bounds and made some lovely friendships with the staff and children.
They do so many different activities and have helped her to progress and learn lots of different things
Definitely, a nursery to go and visit you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent Nursery! My granddaughter has really enjoyed her time at Busy Bees and I know she will miss all the staff and the children who have made her welcome and feel a part of the family within it. The staff are always attentive and professional. It's nice to be included as a grandparent to the special occasions that happen at the nursery like craft days etc. Big thumbs up to the food also because she always seems to have seconds or even third helpings. The manager should be proud of her team and also herself for the excellent running of the nursery.
I can’t believe how different this nursery is since my eldest grandchild attended a couple of years ago. I visited in December for my youngest grandchild and was thrilled to see all of the improvements and decorations, all just so lovely. Staff morale seemed better than before, they were all so much more involved with the many activities, and lots of workshops for parents to join in, I wish I lived nearer. After chatting to the manager, both my daughters and my own confidence at leaving my grandchild here has increased tenfold! A wonderful environment for your little darlings.
He is made to feel very welcome and his care is always excellent I'm sure he's more behaved at nursery than home!
The manager is always happy to help and is a credit to the business, her team are just as amazing, I feel that they are just a little family, always with smiles on their faces
Thank you for your help in raising my son, you are amazing!
Lovely day nursery, my son really enjoys going. Staff are always friendly and polite. Food is a great range of different things. Would highly recommend.
Excellent nursery, my son absolutely loves it here. All the staff are nice and friendly. It is clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
This is a lovely nursery! My son is very happy here and the staff are brilliant. Recently had the garden refurbished. Food is great and the manager is very helpful. This nursery puts your child first and as an early years teacher myself, I would definitely recommend it.
All the staff at this nursery are amazing, they have made my transition in returning to work an easy one. My son absolutely loves going here and I couldn't be happier with the manager and her staff members. Would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Each member of staff takes a genuine interest in the children and nothing is ever too much trouble.
Bush Babies - Leicester has been an excellent nursery for my son, although he only attends 3 days a week for the funded hours, the staff are all very friendly and know my son by his first name. Would highly recommend the nursery.
Our little boy has been coming here since he was just over one and he absolutely loves it. He asks first thing in the morning, "when can I go to nursery Mummy?" My husband and I feel very confident in the nursery staff and know that he is in the safest of hands each day that he is here. All the staff are friendly and chatty and are very passionate about what they do. We couldn't have picked a better nursery.

Meet the Team (1)
Hello, my name is Katie Mahal and I really enjoy working for Busy Bees and being the Centre Director here at Busy Bees Leicester Blaby.
I joined Busy Bees Leicester Blaby just over six years ago. I gained my Level 3 qualification through the Busy Bees Training Academy and haven't looked back since. I have worked my way up and became the nursery SENCO, supporting children and families and I still continue with this role now. I then became the Room Leader in Preschool which I continued with throughout lockdown while being a centre that stayed open to key worker parents. After reopening our doors to all our families, I then stepped up to Assistant Centre Director. One year later in 2022, I was then given another exciting opportunity and become Centre Director. I am very grateful for this progression and have loved every minute of the journey.
I have two boys myself, so my spare time is taken up with after-school clubs during the week and we enjoy long walks, swimming and visiting family at the weekends.
I'm very proud of my team, we are like a family away from home. They are highly qualified and very dedicated to ensuring the children are kept safe, engaged, and constantly offered exciting, fun, and developmental activities. We see each child as an individual and take into account their interests, their home experiences and areas for development. We are passionate about our parent partnership and are always finding new ways to get parents involved in the nursery and in the development of their children.
We would love for you to book a visit to our nursery so you can experience this for yourself. You would get to meet me and my team and ask any questions you may have to learn more about everything we can offer you and your child in our fantastic nursery in Leicester.
