Busy Bees Norwich Meridian

Even through challenging times, the nursery and management have always been forthcoming with issues that have arisen throughout the day and placed plans in place to overcome issues. I can't fault the staff for the encouragement to my children and the way that they have enabled the transition to school (for my eldest and now my littlest.) The plans and next steps are always challenging my children but are well within their targets. Food is always fresh and well balanced.

My daughter has attended this setting from 10 months and is now 4. We couldn’t have chosen a better place for her, the staff are brilliant especially the 4 key workers. The security the key worker gives her has helped her confidence. The range of activities provided has stimulated her imagination and development. The facilities have always been spacious, clean and bright with plenty to occupy, make, grow, build. They have separate outside space for all the different ages and preschool garden has just been redeveloped. When she was a baby I loved that there were cots not just mats. There was lots of sensory items around the entire room. In other rooms the role play areas have been one of our daughters favourite past times, that and painting! Recently, home learning books, library days, PE days and chatterboxes have become a big part of our lives as we prepare for school. As a working parent, I’ve loved the longer hours available and 3 meals provided. We are really going to miss Busy Bees.

Our son has been going to the nursery since he was 13 months old, he is currently in the 2-3 room. He loves going to nursery, and I love hearing about his day. We have been very happy with the support the nursery provides and the consistency of care he receives. He has a really great connection with his key workers, which he has only had one per room he has been in. The nursery has been amazing with him since he became a big brother. We are grateful that nursery provides a fun place for him to learn and explore as he wishes. Thank you

Both my children attend this nursery and they absolutely love it and so do I. The staff are all wonderful, the food is amazing, the equipment and gardens are superb and they treat each child as an individual and help stick to routines and provide for every child’s needs.

A lovely nursery environment and the staff are fantastic. The food is varied and healthy. My son is very settled and happy here.

I’ve used Busy Bees Norwich Meridian since December 2012 and have been consistently pleased with the level of care they give our children. Staff turnover can be an issue at times but we’ve been fortunate that our children have built really strong bonds with their key workers and other members of staff. The staff, on the whole, are wonderful and work hard to build and maintain strong bonds with the kids, you can really feel their genuine affection. They strive to keep the activities fresh and work with the children on their individual needs. The communication with parents is also very good and the staff always look to work closely on developmental areas or needs. I’d highly recommend Busy Bees.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for 18 months and she absolutely loves it! She is thriving in this stimulating environment. All staff are encouraging and know her. I feel they are very approachable and give outstanding care.

All the staff provide a nurturing and caring environment for children to thrive in. The staff provide such an amazing and creative range of activities. My son loves it and his first question every morning is 'Am I going to pre-school today?' I don't think he would be where he is developmentally had he not attend Busy Bees.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for almost a year and she is absolutely thriving. She is excited to go in the mornings and doesn’t want to leave when I go to collect her.

I honestly can’t thank the nursery enough for how amazing the staff have all been since my son started nursery! As a mother that works full time it can be apprehensive to leave your child with people you don’t know all week, but the girls and guys have always put my mind at ease and I truly could not fault them in any way shape or form. I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends and family. The staff are so brilliant with all the children and always tell you what the children have been up to and if there are incidents they always inform you!

Starting at 8 months, my son has been at Meridian Way now for a few weeks. As I sat in the foyer choosing the nursery, every child that came in smiled, that gave me confidence and I haven’t been disappointed. The baby room has a lovely feel, lots of activities and lovely staff. The key worker/buddy system works well and my sons' key workers are amazing. My son has come on leaps and bounds in a few short weeks. I have already recommended the nursery to friends who have transferred their own children to it having seen it. If you haven’t visited, I would encourage you to do so!

My Son is nearly 4 years old and has attended Busy Bees Meridian Way since he was 8 months old. The staff are excellent and really understand each child as an individual which is very important. The staff are welcoming, helpful and clearly enjoy what they do. My partner and I have busy, demanding jobs and it's reassuring to know that our Son always has an action packed day with a good level of educational input. My other son is 10 years old and also attended this nursery back in 2007, it was good then, but it's excellent now.

I have been really impressed with the nursery since my daughter started in August. It is very child led and the staff gave us as many settling in sessions as we needed which means I have a very happy settled little girl, who is very keen to go. The staff are always very caring and professional and we get good feedback about how her day has gone. My daughter loves the food, which is prepared on site and there are always really good activities going on. Overall I'd highly recommend this nursery.

My husband and I have been really impressed with the quality of care my son has received. The staff are great and seem to take a genuine interest in his welfare - and as a result, he loves going to nursery! Happy son = happy parent! I would not hesitate to recommend Busy Bees Meridian.

We could not wish for a better childcare family for our little boy. Everything we could wish for is catered for, from his dairy free dinners to the ongoing support and cuddles he receives. We look forward to our child and ourselves being part of Busy Bees over the next few years.

My 3 year old daughter has been attending Busy Bees since she was 9 months and she has a great time. I like the fact there are 4 different rooms depending on age, so children aren't mixed with younger/older children. My little girl has learnt loads of new skills and has made lots of new friends.

The food is all freshly prepared on site and my allergy daughter is well catered for with plenty of variety and strict procedures, which gives me confidence that there won't be any cross contamination.

I trust the staff at Busy Bees Norwich Meridian with the most precious thing in the world, my little girl! She has been at the nursery for 11 months and has flourished. As well as being particularly caring, they are consummately professional from the excellent managers to the room leaders, the chef and individual key workers. The staff understand each child and cater for their learning needs and next steps individually. I need to particularly mention the quality of the catering, which is second to none and smells delicious. I have already recommended the nursery to other parents. My daughter is incredibly happy, thank you, Busy Bees.

Busy Bees Meridian has a lovely community feel and a nurturing environment. My little girl has been going for 6 months and I've been really impressed with how she is cared for and the activities she takes part in during her day.

My son has been at Busy Bees Meridian for 7 months and I couldn't be happier with my choice of nursery. He always loves being at nursery and the staff are exceptionally caring, kind and informative. His dietary needs are always met and we are regularly kept up to date with his progress. Having been a bit nervous to start him at nursery, I now couldn't be more pleased with my decision.
