Busy Bees Norwich Meridian

My daughter started at Busy Bees when she was 9 months and has recently turned 2. Starting in the baby room, moving through Tweenies and now into 2-3's, I have been thoroughly impressed with the facilities available, activities offered and most of all the staff throughout. The staff do specific activities suited to the children, help them feel settled by keeping up to date with what the children enjoy at home and have made extra effort to help my daughter whilst she's struggled with drop-offs. Not only has she grown in confidence but her language and communication have noticeably improved since attending the nursery. I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough!

We’ve had a really positive experience sending our little boy to Busy Bees, the staff are always very friendly and enthusiastic. As a nursery, they offer everything you would expect as a parent as well as lots of extra events which is also very nice. We particularly enjoyed the Summer fete which included sitting inside fire engines which our son really loved.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for over 2 months when writing this review. The staff are very helpful and friendly and our daughter settled in very easily. We are given lots of information about her daily activities which is very helpful to us so that we have continuity at home. A really positive point is that the nursery also practice TinyTalk baby sign language, so again we can use this at home and at nursery. So far we are really pleased with her progress at nursery and we are glad we chose Meridian.

It’s always daunting picking a nursery but we felt this nursery met everything we were looking for and felt comfortable to leave our child there.

Our son absolutely loves Busy Bees and the staff are fantastic. They have fun activities all of the time and they are so reassuring with our precious goods. We would recommend to anyone.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough to people, I love it. My little girl has been going since September 2016 and is now in preschool and she adores it. Every single member of staff there makes her so comfortable at nursery and so happy to be there and you can see that they genuinely care about each and every child that they look after. I am so sad that my little one will be leaving for school in the summer, I wish she could stay at this Busy Bees forever!

I would highly recommend this setting to anyone

We used this nursery from 2017, started at babies and now in pre-school. Our daughter really loves coming to the nursery. She formed a strong bond with staff and other children. Staff are always friendly and the management very caring and responsive. There is a range of activities offered. Equipment and environment help with learning and progress and is very noticeable. It is easy to go to work, knowing that the standard of care is high and all our daughter’s needs are met throughout the day. Food freshly prepared on the premises is tasty and nutritious and made our rather fussy toddler to eat and enjoy almost everything offered now. Thank you for all the great work you are doing!

This establishment and the staff here are exceptional. Everyone is so warming, welcoming and friendly and it's clear genuinely care about the development and well being of the children. Our little girl is besotted with her key worker (and indeed all the other ladies in her room) and I truly believe the bond and relationship all staff create with the children has really helped with my daughter's development; speech, displaying/understanding emotions etc.

I can't speak highly enough of the care provided, learning books/journals and 'plans' for development are created and reviewed/updated regularly - the staff really go over and above. Our girl also has a food allergy which was no problem to be catered for.

Ultimately, it's a genuinely nice place to be, the facilities and activities put on are great, made all the better by the staff employed here. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I have used Busy Bees and all the staff have been friendly and helpful. When I was looking for nurseries for my second child I was comparing the care and experience I received with my first (who went from Babies through to preschool) and nowhere came close to the professional and caring approach the whole team take. They have been brilliant with helping with my second child settling in and I know she is in safe and kind hands.

I love this nursery, my little boy started in May this year and he loves it. The girls in the baby room are so lovely and he's really connected with them. It's easy going to work knowing he's being so well looked after. Thank you for all you do! I've recommended the nursery to my friends, and one of them has already booked their child in.

We have been using the nursery since 2015 and found it to be a welcoming place where our children have felt happy and engaged. The staff all have an excellent rapport with the children. The activities in pre-school are varied and interesting for the children and communication with parents is excellent.

They seem to do lots of activities and have a fun time, which I think is amazing, as I can’t do all the things at home. He actually gets excited going now.

It always looks so clean. The door is so lovely and he is so lucky to eat everything, gosh, wish I was eating it.

I do love how the managers in reception know all the kiddies by name and say hello and things, so personal and really welcoming.

Would be nice to get the facility that other nursery’s have online to give daily feedback like tapestry. However the ladies always give such an amazing feedback face to face in person .

Thanks so much for everything Busy Bees staff .

My little boy, who is 11 months old, loves his day at nursery. He kicks his legs when we get to the door and always goes with the key worker with open arms.

I can leave him at Busy Bees at Norwich Meridian with complete confidence.

Her key workers have been brilliant with her, I couldn’t have hoped for a better relationship than the ones she has built with them. She talks about nursery and the staff there all the time and has learned so much whilst attending through play.

Excellent nursery. My little girl has been attending Busy Bees for over a year now and has just moved up to preschool and is thoroughly enjoying it. The staff are brilliant, and her days are filled with lovely activities, she loves it. Would highly recommend.

Busy Bees at Norwich Meridian has some of the friendliest, caring practitioners we have come across and would recommend highly to other families.

Fantastic nursery! My daughter really enjoys going and I never have a problem dropping her off. My daughter loved her key worker in Tweenies and talks non stop about her key worker in 2-3’s. She is so good with my daughter and really helpful if I have any issues. The nursery manager is fantastic and always accommodating if I need any extra days. They are always welcoming on arrival and understanding if I’m late. The food is fantastic quality and my daughter often has 2 portions. I like the size of the rooms and the fact they go outside whenever possible. Highly recommend, thank you Busy Bees at Norwich Meridian!

My son loves coming here and the staff have always been attentive, caring and hugely enthusiastic about his care and development. All praise from this end!

Our eldest started at the nursery over two years ago into 2-3s. We had previous issues with staff turnover and background issues at another nursery so were sceptical to leave her again. From the first phone call the managers were both incredibly helpful in getting us settled. There were never any issues with leaving our girl, the staff are attentive and caring. I am thoroughly impressed with the learning topics each fortnight and the communication between staff and parents now she is in preschool. Our youngest started at just six months old and the kindness and attention given by the girls in Babies and Tweenies means I have not felt guilty about the decision at all.
