My daughter has been going to the nursery full-time since she turned one. First, the baby room and now in the 1-2s room. My daughter feels very much at home when she goes to nursery, she loves it. She has developed strong bonds with all the ladies there, in particular, her key workers. I am so thankful for the love and care my daughter receives. She is growing up to be an adventurous and independent little girl. The nursery have been fantastic with keeping on top of applying my daughter's eczema cream, several times a day and also changing her bibs. I am SO grateful for the attentive care that the staff provide. I also love the fact that my daughter has access to a comprehensive food menu. She has breakfast, lunch and tea, as well as snacks in between. Fresh food cooked on site. I'm glad she is exposed to a wide range of foods from an early age.
I highly recommend Busy Bees Meridian, all the staff and managers are fantastic.

Fantastic staff, stage environment and great facilities and development for all young children. Friendly staff and my daughter likes to tell me about all the fun things she has done during her day at Busy Bees. It’s reassuring that the time she spends there is valuable not only for her experience interacting with other children but also developing a positive attitude amongst good staff.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 12 months old, he is now 2 years old. The staff at the nursery are always very friendly and reassuring, leaving my son in their care has been made a lot easier because of how well I can see that they all care for him and all the children in their care. My son loves coming here, he is always talking about his carers and what he has enjoyed doing. I love the ParentZone app, having access to my sons development and seeing photos of his day to day activities is lovely, the observations are very detailed and informative. The facilities are excellent and the menu contains a variety of foods so my son always has a healthy balanced diet.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

From the first day I entered Busy Bees Leicester Meridian, they were very welcoming. The manager and administrator where so polite and are always there to help in any way possible. The standards of care are exactly. My children have developed in a way I never expected, considering they were very clingy when they started Nursery but are now very independent individuals which has been also contributed to by Busy Bees Meridian.

We looked at several nurseries before deciding on this one. It's not the closest to our home and unlike some others, they are unable to assist with teeth brushing as yet. However we were prepared to travel further as we were very impressed by how well run it was. The staff were friendly, the facilities were great, the menu is wide-ranging and the Busy Bees chain has invested in developing its education strategies. The nursery is able to administer medication which is very helpful when children have fevers for working parents.
The unit is very secure. The children do baking and crafts regularly and have lots of free time to follow their own interests. The nursery is supportive of parents' attitudes to potty training, discipline, nap times, dummy use etc. They are redeveloping their garden area. It is very expensive but it is also good quality. We would highly recommend.

Returning back to this nursery with my 2nd child. I’ll be honest, I did search other nurseries before coming back to Busy Bees but once you have a high expectation of such a wonderful place it’s really hard to beat. This nursery is not only outstanding because of its layout and what the children learn, it’s great because the staff make this place a home for the children. A warm, friendly and caring person is what the children need and Busy Bees has just that.
Not having any more children but will defiantly be recommending this nursery to everyone.

This is a fantastic nursery. Our LO is full time and is very happy. Most days he doesn't want to leave! The nursery has an amazing seasonal menu, with vegetarian options. Our LO has been encouraged from a young age (he's' 20 months now) to use proper cutlery. The kids are always happy, the staff are friendly and energetic. Games are played, but there is an underlying curriculum. We feel that this driven course has allowed our LO to flourish. The nursery uses an app (and website) called Parent Zone, which has regular updates including nappy changes, food, sleeps but also observations of your LO's activities and also assessments to the national curriculum and the Leuven Scale. Updates are sent directly to the app, and we get post updates directly to our phones.
Overall we are very happy with this nursery!

My baby joined this nursery when she was 12 months and now she is 3 years old. I'm extremely happy about her learning and development throughout the period she is with Busy Bees. Especially the staff are very friendly and they have special attention on each baby. My baby's key colleagues in different stages had a special bond with her and I saw how happy and comfortable she is among them. The kids are well mannered and the nursery is very organised and clean.
We've had some tough time in our family past year and especially the manager in Leicester Meridian gave us invaluable support. The management and the staff are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile to support the kids and their families.

I can't praise the staff at Busy Bees Leicester Meridian highly enough. We have two children at Busy Bees (a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old), both children have been there since being tiny. I'm hugely proud of how both children are developing, but much of the credit for this goes to the staff at Busy Bees. They are always professional, extremely friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to support the kids, of course, coupled with the fabulous leadership by the manager and financial administrator.
We've had some tough times over the past year with illness in the family but the team at the nursery have been a great support and given the children a real sense of stability, and for that, I can't thank them enough.
There are great facilities and loads of stimulation. The food is excellent and the cleanliness is exemplary. Both children love their days at Busy Bees and come home tired out but really happy, I would recommend Busy Bees wholeheartedly.
