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.

We started our little one in April 2023 and have found her to make some really strong bonds, especially at the beginning when she found the transition from weekend to Monday particularly difficult. She has a great rapport with all the adults and has grown into a confident little human. The staff have always been friendly, approachable and adaptable; this has always been reassuring to us as parents; we are forever grateful for all their hard work. Thank you Busy Bees for a really positive and lasting experience.

My daughter loves this nursery, when she started she was 2 years old and we saw straight away a big development in the first couple of weeks. I can see a big bond that she has with the staff, the food is really good for her too. That's a place that I know that I can go to work and I don't need to worry about it because she's being taken care of really well.

My son has been in Busy Bees Leicester Meridian since June 2023, and I cannot fault the nursery or staff. They are all amazing. The safeguarding is brilliant, and if they do not recognise someone, they will not let them in without confirming. The care they give my son is brilliant, and I have watched him develop being here. The food choice is brilliant too for him. I love them sending pictures to show me what he is doing. I highly recommend Busy Bees Leicester Meridian; it was the best thing we did for our son. They take into account any of your requests and if you have a timings for your children. They are caring and so helpful in every way. Thank you.

My daughter started here in Oct 2020 and to date, her development has been amazing. Her vocabulary has gone from lonely words into fully formed sentences.
The staff at the nursery are all so friendly and well in tune with my daughter's development points. I feel like she’s built a loving relationship with all her carers and nursery friends.
The food provided is all healthy and varied and I’ve found that she eats better at nursery than she does at home.
I’m kept fully updated throughout the day via the parent app and it’s lovely to see pictures and her diet during the day.
We are always greeted with a smile at drop off by the manager and at pick up’s too. The carer will also let us know how she’s been during the day and if any issues etc let us know.
I can’t fault yeh nursery at all and I am happy dropping her off in the mornings knowing she is in good hands.

We were initially hesitant to send our child to a nursery, but in hindsight, we're glad we did and choosing Busy Bees was the best decision we could have made. It is evident that the staff love what they do and this comes through in the way they look after the children. From the warm welcome in the morning, the helpful updates during the day and the handover back to parents at the end, the staff always go that extra step which is reassuring for us parents.
Thank you to all at Busy Bees Meridian and I would definitely recommend you to other parents!
My son has been coming since August 2021. He really enjoys it. The staff are amazing! I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Had heard really good reviews and have to say I’m glad I chose this nursery for my son to attend.

My daughter has attended here for nearly a year. She has come on so much, the careers are so kind and friendly to my daughter. She enjoys all the activities with her friends and I love getting pictures of her joining in.

Our son has been going to this nursery since he was 1 year old and he is 3 now. During the pandemic, the staff have been so supportive and taken care of every minute detail to ensure that children are safe.
Even though we moved a bit further away from the nursery I never thought of changing my child’s nursery as they take care of the child as their own. Not every nursery does that.
Just what every child needs, especially when Covid is still around.
Great place to make friends and develop your child, ready for the real world.
Worth every penny.

The staff are excellent, well organised and their completed contribution towards every child’s stage by stage developments.
Our oldest child was in Busy Bees and now our second child too. Both kids love this nursery and my second one happily goes into the nursery each morning with a happy smile. That clearly shows, that she thoroughly enjoys her day.
Without a shadow of a doubt, we truly can say that this nursery is the best in our area.

Busy Bees was the only nursery I went to see for my daughter who has been here from when she was 16 months and is now in 3-5’s. I love the interaction that she has with her key worker and the unique relationship that is built between them. The nursery has been outstanding through Covid and this continues. Every morning she is welcomed into the nursery which as parents is reassuring as leaving your precious child with anyone can be somewhat daunting! A fantastic nursery and I would recommend this to everyone. Make Busy Bees your only choice as we did

Every time she has moved into a new room and changed key worker I've never had any problems.

I was very anxious about leaving her at the start 2 days a week, but the manager and her team put me at ease from day one. Now at 3 years old and in the pre-school room my daughter is there each day and really enjoys it. She is learning new skills and her development is well observed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees Meridian.

The communication between nursery/parents via the Parent Zone is excellent, we are always on track of what's happening during the day, and for me, I find it really important to see a bit of my son's daily life at the nursery. The team, in general, is really friendly and always available to answer any questions. I cannot recommend it enough.

My daughter started to attend Busy Bees during the pandemic after our original nursery refused to accept her. And we are very pleased how that turned out, as we couldn't ask for a better nursery. We are comfortable dropping our little girl in the morning as she is very excited to go there. My little girl is very shy around her carers but they are taking their time and planning activities to help her come out of her 'shell'. Since she started to attend the Busy Bees, she has grown into an independent, clever little girl. Thank you very much to every member of the team for keeping our children safe during the pandemic. They adapted very quickly to a new 'normal'.
Fantastic nursery, very friendly and professional staff. I feel totally at ease leaving my child, as I know she is so well looked after. My daughter loves attending and has made some great friends. My daughter's attendance at the nursery will definitely make the transition to school easier.
