Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As an anxious mother, I found it really hard to come to terms with leaving my daughter at nursery, but Busy Bees were amazing. My daughter had never taken a bottle and had never napped on her own, so I was very worried about how she would settle.
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.

Overall Experience
Where does a year go! Today (31st March) is a year since Lucy started her Busy Bees journey!
All staff are amazing at what they do and show real passion in what they do each and every day!
Lucy is now a toddler of 20 months old and was the young 8 month baby when she first arrived and what a difference!
Thank you for the continued support by all with Lucy's journey and development!

Roll on the next year!

Review from P P (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Very clean Nursery and very hardworking staff. My son loves his teachers and loves his friends too. We had good experience with the entire team so far. They have weekly lesson plan for each week which they share on the app. And parents have a good and clear visibility on the child' growth using regular meetings and app.

Overall Experience
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! Nothing is too much for the staff here. They talk about the children with so much pride as if they are their own kids. I was nervous starting my son at nursery but Busy Bees Meridian would be my choice every time! My son has developed so much socially and constantly learning more and more.

Thankful for the great staff and nurturing people they are.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a genuine sense of community. The staff are incredibly supportive, caring, and attentive, always making children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn and grow. 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.

Overall Experience

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.

Friendly and helpful staff, they make great relationships with the children and make the children feel happy to stay with them. Good food. Love the app updates throughout the day which updates you on their food, nap, toilet trips, photos, any activities they have done.

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery and would highly recommend it. The staff are fantastic-warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. They have built such a lovely relationship with our child, which gives us real peace of mind knowing she is happy and well looked after each day.
It's clear that the team put a lot of thought into the activities they provide. Our child has learned so many new skills since starting, including practical ones like cooking and gardening, which she absolutely loves. The variety of activities really helps support their development while keeping learning fun and engaging.
Communication with the staff has always been great, and we've built a really positive relationship with them. It feels like a supportive and welcoming environment where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and gain confidence.

A wonderful nursery with a brilliant team-we're very grateful for the care and effort they put into what they do.

Overall Experience

My twins have been going to busy bees meridian for over a year now, they have grown so much in confidence and I have noticed a massive development in there learning. Busy bees staff are always so kind and welcoming. I love how they use the app to keep me updated on the twins daily progress. The meals are nutritional and varied giving the twins exposure to food we wouldn't typically eat at home. The twins always look forward to their nursery day which makes me happy knowing they are enjoying it.
