Busy Bees Norwich Meridian

I am beyond glad I chose this nursery for my child. He started when he was 14 months and he is now at preschool. During that time he was diagnosed with Autism and I can honestly say, the staff and the nursery as a whole have been magnificent. His key worker especially has gone above and beyond to support him in his therapies, his welfare and also helping with choosing a school to suit his needs. They were also fully involved and supported us through the EHCP process.

As a parent, leaving your child in the care of others is a massive deal, especially when they need extra care and support. The nursery have been wonderful. My son loves it and I don’t think he would have made as much progress as he has without the support of the key worker and the nursery as a whole.

We definitely made the right choice! Thank you.

My daughter always comes home happy and in a good mood, talking about the things she has got up to during the day. As a parent of a 2 year old is there much more you can ask for?

I’ve used this nursery for my two children for almost two years. Babies and Tweenies rooms were wonderful, with great facilities for the little ones and the staff are very attentive with each and every child, I was always impressed with their patience and care. The 2-3’s and pre-school staff have also shown great care and kindness to my children; encouraged development in all areas and always have something new to do with the children. I enjoy the themed weeks in pre-school, giving us lots to talk about at home! I also really appreciate being able to discuss anything with the staff if I need to and feeling listened to. Thank you for looking after my little ones.

The food is good and he enjoys the different varieties of food. The learning log is informative and enables me to see how well my son is getting on achieving his milestones and we work together with the nursery on new milestones so there is a clear link between home and nursery.

Busy Bees provides a safe and stimulating environment for our daughter. She loves it and comes home exhausted but happy every day. If there are ever any problems, nursery informs us quickly and they are resolved with no fuss.

From the opening hours to the room layouts and variety of food available I have and will always recommend this nursery.

My son has progressed from babies through to Tweenies now, and his development, even though he’s only in for 1/2 days a week, is just amazing. The girls are all so enthusiastic and, my goodness, they have my utmost respect doing what they do! My son is excited to go, I rarely have any problem with drop-offs. He’s too excited. I know he loves it. I’d be more than happy to recommend the nursery to anyone.

My little boy attends Busy Bees and absolutely loves it, he comes home very happy (and worn out). He loves the food which is all made from fresh ingredients on the day. I also get a diary telling me everything that he has done, what he has eaten and drank that day and how much sleep he’s had. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I’d definitely recommend it to any family or friends.

My daughter always has the best time at this nursery. She has learnt so much and made friends thanks to all the dedicated staff who are wonderful and always happy to help with any development you want to focus on.

My little lady loves her nursery days. Nursery is fun and friendly and has boosted her confidence in play and interaction

I genuinely love that my daughter attending the Busy Bees nursery. She seems very well adjusted to the whole experience and the staff. She is always full of fun stories when we pick her up, is rarely upset about anything, and always eats well.

My son feels safe and happy at the nursery, and settled in well when he started. He loves going to nursery and has several friends - including the staff. I know he is safe, cared for and learns lots at the nursery. The environment at this nursery is fantastic too. I have only praise.

My daughter has recently moved from Tweenies to 2-3s and I could not be happier with the care and attention she has had during this process. We had detailed parents evening appointments from both key workers and feel very happy that she is being well looked after in all aspects, as well as being challenged in her development. A huge thank you to all.

I always feel like my children’s needs are met at Busy Bees. There has always been a great connection between their assigned team member and my boys and it is evident that planning is made to help them progress to their own needs. Their individuality is embraced by all the team which is important to them and how they feel. There is no doubt my boys have grown in confidence and capability as a result of their time at Busy Bees.

The nursery is a purpose built building although there is limited outdoor space. Saying that the children are encouraged to go out and explore and the nursery have made it as interactive as they can with different places to go and hide, textures to find and places to play. They have recently had the toilets revamped and the outside play area for preschool has been redone to a great standard. Overall we are very happy with the nursery and our son's development whilst he's been there.

Busy Bees at Norwich Meridian is an excellent nursery. My daughter spent 2 years there and my twin boys have been there for just over a year. They love/d their time there. The staff are super friendly and very approachable. The meals are healthy and varied so I'm confident they won't go hungry! The summary at pick up times are really reassuring and I know they've had lots of activities to keep them learning and occupied. Couldn't ask for a better setting to leave my precious little ones at whilst I can't be with them.

Our daughter has been coming to the nursery for just over 10 months now, and she absolutely loves it! She first went to the free baby group and we knew right away that she would fit in well there, it just felt like the right place for her. It can be a bit daunting leaving your child in the care of other people, but we had nothing to worry about here. The staff are lovely and always have a smile on their face, you can tell they enjoy what they do. Our little girl adapted so quickly and has really grown and developed since going there. She has so much fun that some days she doesn't want to leave, the number of times I've had to extract her from the sand pit! We couldn't have asked for a better first start for our daughter, and would definitely recommend it here.

Our little girl has been attending Busy Bees for five months now. She really enjoys it and always learns something on every day. The staff are friendly and very helpful and we are really happy that they always have our little girls best interests and safety as a priority.

My son really enjoys learning and playing at Nursery. The meals are always nutritious and varied and it’s great that they are prepared fresh by the onsite chef. I will have no hesitation in sending my daughter when my maternity leave ends.

I visited a number of nurseries before going back to work and Busy Bees, Meridian, stood out by a mile for me. From the very first encounter, I was made to feel very welcome by the manager. Not only did she speak to me, but spoke to my daughter and remembered her name upon every visit. This made me feel comfortable that management is taking interest in gaining my child’s trust and engaging with her rather than just parents. I attended the baby groups most Mondays to help settle her and found staff welcoming and loved the variety of activities. My daughter has a key worker and I feel as though she treats my daughter as one of her own. What I’m looking for in a nursery is that my daughter is happy, comfortable and staff truly cherish her. And I have found that Busy Bees, Meridian, have excelled in achieving this. The staff are a credit to Busy Bees, especially the manager and my child's key workers, who I speak with on a regular basis. Would highly recommend.
