Busy Bees Leicester Meridian stands as an exceptional childcare provider creating a loving, stimulating environment where children can flourish in their early years education.
The devoted team at Busy Bees Leicester Meridian go above and beyond to support every child throughout their nursery journey, ensuring they receive the very best start in life. With many of their dedicated team members, including the passionate Centre Director, boasting over 15 years of experience, their dedication to providing the highest quality childcare establishes a strong sense of trust and reliability.
Rather than a traditional preschool, Busy Bees Leicester Meridian offers a Foundation Class. Led by an experienced teacher, this class equips children with the necessary skills, confidence and love for learning to excel in school.
And the learning experience extends outdoors. The generous garden offers dedicated sections for each age group where children can seamlessly explore, play and learn outdoors. The Foundation Class also benefits from a weekly football and physical activity program, adding both fun and fitness to their outdoor adventures.
You can even keep up to date on your child's progress during their time at Busy Bees through the ‘ParentZone’ app. The enthusiastic staff will provide you with regular updates on your child's learning and development, along with any activities they take part in, ensuring that you never miss a moment.

From my daughter's first day the staff have been very supportive of her. Helping herself and me through milestone moments like potty training, giving support and advice. Her key workers show. a genuine care towards my daughter and they aren't just workers, they are her friends which reassures me she's in a good place where I know she will be looked after. Her development has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery.
I can't thank Casey enough for all the hard work, care and support she has given my son. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure he feels happy, safe and supported.

I can't thank Casey enough for all the hard work, care and support she has given my son. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure he feels happy, safe and supported. Her patience, kindness and dedication really shine through, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the children. We are so grateful for everything she has done and couldn't have wished for a better key worker for him.
I highly recommend busy bees nursery. My daughter has just graduated from there ready to start school and has been attending from a baby. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and make you feel that your child is in very safe hands.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Meridian for a little over two years and what an amazing experience he's had there. The staff are absolutely fantastic, I can't praise them enough for how brilliant they have been with him. Busy Bees have given my son the confidence to be himself whilst learning through play and developing skills that he will use for the rest of his life. Hes made some lovely little friends and has great bonds with the staff. He's moving up to primary school and we are both very sad to be saying goodbye to Busy Bees. I'll be forever grateful for everything they have done for my little boy.

We have had such a positive experience at Busy Bees Meridian, where our son has attended for the past three years.
The staff have always been caring, supportive and encouraging, and we have really appreciated the time and effort they put into helping him grow and develop. The range of activities and experiences he has been given has been fantastic, and it has been lovely to see how much he has grown in confidence along the way.
We feel that Busy Bees has played a big part in helping him become the happy, confident and independent little boy he is today. He is now ready to begin his school journey, and we feel reassured knowing he has had such a positive start.

Busy Bees offer settling-in sessions and Stay & Play sessions, and you can attend as many as you need. These were incredibly helpful for both my daughter and me during the transition.
The staff in Bombo 1 are fantastic. My daughter is so happy there, she eats such a variety of foods, and there is always a wide range of activities for her to enjoy and learn from.
It gives me so much peace of mind knowing how well she is cared for, and I couldn't be happier with the support and care she receives.
I knew from the moment I met Carly and the Team it was the right place.
All staff are amazing at what they do and show real passion in what they do each and every day!

We've had a really positive experience with Busy Bees Meridian in Leicester. Our daughter settled in quickly, which was such a relief for us, especially after relocating from London. Carly and her team have been wonderful in supporting the transition and making us feel at ease during what could have been a stressful time.
The key workers do a fantastic job caring for the children, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy what they do. Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery, which says a lot about the warm and nurturing environment they've created.
We're very grateful for the support and would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

My daughters started back in October following a poor experience at a previous nursery. We have been beyond happy with everything at Busy Bees. The girls took a little while to settle in but the staff there are patient and kind and now they love to go to nursery. They have built good relationships with their keyworkers and the other staff and I get timely updates on what they have been doing, eating etc.

From the moment we decided on Busy Bees Nursery for our daughter it hasn't disappointed us. Always the best care and support from day one. Daily activities and the learning for the kids is all well thought out. Watching her develop with the help of them team is amazing to see. The bonds and connections made is something I didn't expect but am so grateful for. The app being introduced is a brilliant feature and provides regular updates throughout the day. Photos and messages can be sent which is a plus for me and many others I'm sure. Extra reassurance is always welcomed. Left my child a few times crying which I hate but moments later have a message on the app saying she's absolutely fine and eating breakfast. My day immediately is better knowing this . Thank you busy bees
I'm very happy with this nursery. My son has food intolerances and the staff always make sure his meals are adjusted to his needs, which I really appreciate. Everyone is very kind, caring and supportive, and my son feels comfortable and happy there. I truly recommend this nursery.

My daughter lives going to nursery every day. She adores her carers and I can only think it's BC of how much they show her love. I love the food and the activities. They are quite flexible and accommodating.

My son is cared for in every way possible and I feel confident leaving him at nursery. They helped me and him with the transition of starting nursery to absolutely loving it!

My daughter recently transitioned to her new room in the nursery, so for her it was all new surroundings and staff members, but with all the help and support from the team by the end of the week she had settled in to the change and is now getting involved with all the activities they do day to day, when choosing a nursery for your child it can be a stressful time, but the moment we walked in for our visit back in 2025, I knew this nursery was the one for my daughter, if you have been thinking about having a look around don't delay has you will not be disappointed absolutely amazing staff and there never any doubt that my daughter won't have a fabulous day learning through all the play activities they do daily.
I've had a great experience with Busy Bees. The staff is very hands on and genuinely keen on excelling at the care they provide. They conduct a lot of activities to keen kids engaged in a mindful growth mindset manner and not just random play.

It's clear they truly care about every child's development and happiness. They know each child really well which is evident by their reports and are always willing to chat to parents at drop off and pick up too.

My daughter has recently started here and the staff have been incredible. I feel really confident leaving her there knowing that she is going to be well cared for. The entire facility is fantastic but the staff are the main selling point of the nursery and clearly take a lot of pride in what they do. Each staff member knows all the children in the room and what they like (such as book preferences) and not just their key children. My daughter loves the food and has such an array of different meals which is helping to develop her tastes (as she's still weaning). Just overall fantastic nursery.
