Can’t really fault this nursery. My child is happy to go there and settled in quickly. My child’s speech has improved greatly since joining this nursery and I feel very relaxed knowing my child is being looked after very well.
Very friendly staff, always welcoming and helpful! My daughter loves going which makes me feel so much more comfortable going to work and leaving her! I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
We are very happy with the care the nursery provides to our daughter and that she really enjoys her time there. The staff are friendly and welcoming to both parents and children. There is a happy vibe throughout the nursery and there are regular seasonal/topical activities for the children and opportunities for parents to attend and join in. Would definitely recommend the nursery.
I feel there has been a huge improvement in the general running of the nursery since Busy Bees have taken over the nursery. Staff morale has improved. My son loves coming to nursery, his confidence has grown, getting involved in activities and very comfortable with staff and management.
I will be sad when she has to leave, when the term has finished, as she has built up some great relationship with the nursery staff.
Our daughter loves going to Bush Babies in Blaby. The staff are lovely and she especially loves her key worker.
They provide excellent care and have readily helped with her development.
All the staff at Bush Babies are very supportive. I feel my child is looked after very well and is kept very busy with all the range of activities. I am very happy with the open space. I feel her dietary requirements are met very well.
Staff at Bush Babies - Leicester Blaby are always welcoming - any queries are answered fully. My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery, running up to staff on arrival and thoroughly enjoying every minute here. I am completely happy with our experience at Bush Babies and have no hesitation in leaving her in the care of the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery!
I am really happy with the care my daughter received at Bush Babies nursery. Her key worker knows her really well and is able to identify the smallest steps of development which is brilliant. They feedback on how my daughter is getting on and the pre-school room manager is great at managing the room.
Very good activities, lovely cards made. My daughter loves the nursery.
Only suggestion is maybe more notice to parents regarding buying an outfit for xmas performance. 48 hours was a struggle as I have little money and no transport.
My son is very happy which is my main overall concern.
During December the nursery have welcomed children's families into the nursery for a range of activities, from a charity craft making session, and Carol singing, to parties and a Christmas performance with coffee and mince pies. Staff always ensure that they keep parents involved in each child's progress. Children are helped to take care of their own possessions and become independent.
Fantastic! All the girls are brilliant. My son is very happy and settled at nursery and loves coming to see his friends and carers.
The staff are all so friendly, caring and helpful and our daughter is familiar with them all which is great as I have no concerns and know that she will be happy when moving up a room in the New Year. The nursery always has lovely events going on which we can join in with which is lovely to see as she is so confident in everything she does at the nursery.
I would highly recommend the Lavender Bush to anyone looking for a nursery it is by far the nicest nursery in our local area, in my opinion, it has a lovely homely feel.
This is an exceptional nursery with a wonderful staff team. They are all very professional but also warm and friendly. It feels like more of a "second home" than a nursery for my son. It has a wonderful feeling of community with lots of fun events where family/nursery combine. I have recommended this nursery to other parents and will continue to do so.
We have had a very good experience throughout. I would add that since new management /admin have started the service at that level has been excellent having been quite disorganised previously. The staff are lovely and provide quality care to my adopted daughter and are understanding of her needs.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since 9 months old (she is now 3.5 years old). The staff are fantastic and my daughter has learnt so much from attending the nursery.
My experience of the nursery so far is all positive. My son loves coming to nursery and is always happy to come in and play happily when picked up.
The staff are all lovely and the facilities are far better than the other nurseries we looked at. I would be happy to recommend the nursery.
I can see how my son has developed through a "Learning journey" file that the staff keep up to date and parents are welcome to view at any time. Entry to the nursery is through a fingerprint system which, though temperamental, provides security and children must be signed in and out of every session, which provides me with confidence that my child is safe.
The nursery also has social activities which include parents (eg. around Christmas) and regular parents evening sessions to discuss progress and issues with the child's keyworker. The facilities are great - There are 2 secure outside facilities (one for the younger groups and one for the pre-school groups) an IT room and an "Enchanted" room for creativity.
Thank you for your kind words

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.
