Review from Ewelina W (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The best nursery I've ever seen (tried different one before), management, staff, rooms, general environment, agenda, food, literally everything is great. For one year we haven't had even one situation to complain about. Our child is happy and that's the reason I would recommend the nursery to everybody.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees Meridian for over a year. She is now in her final year and will begin attending twice a week. The staff are wonderful and my daughter always talks about them. The facilities are great and we have noticed how much the nursery has done for our child's confidence and skills.

Review from Gladys T (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Great nursery.
The staff are always friendly and attentive.

My daughter is very quiet and does not like big groups. But this has never been an issue for her at Busy Bees.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Swati T (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Matthew T (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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!

Review from Vishaka W (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from D T (Father of Child) published on 22 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 7 months old and is now 3 years 3 months. Busy Bees have had a massive impact on my child’s development and I could not thank them enough. The nursery workers know his personality extremely well and are like an extended family.

This is an outstanding nursery with fantastic facilities and wonderful staff.

Our son has been attending Busy Bees Meridian for the past two years. He really enjoys the time he spends here and the impact they have had on his social and emotional development has been exceptional. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming with both children and parents and obviously love their jobs.

Overall Experience

My child has been coming to Busy Bees since she was 10 months old and is now almost 3. She has always loved coming to nursery and I've seen a large improvement in her language and social development. Since she has been in Ladybirds, all the staff are amazing but especially my daughter's key person as she's formed a very special bond with my child and has helped her development improve a lot since being in Butterflies.

Review from Saskya F (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Myself and my husband viewed several nurseries and from the moment we walked in, we knew that Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian was the one.

I was nervous and anxious leaving my 10 month old for the first time and I felt so reassured and comfortable. All the staff at Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian look interested and take a genuine interest in the little ones. They are always happy to see the children and look enthusiastic.

The staff have always made time to speak to me if I was worried or concerned and the management is approachable and accessible. My daughter is now a thriving two-year-old and loves her days at Busy Bees at Leicester Meridian. They offer a range of activities and parents are constantly updated via the app on the goings on throughout the day. The nursery is clean, bright and welcoming. The menu has lots of variety. I could not ask for more in a nursery! 10/10 from me!

Review from Vicky H (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our children aged 3 years and 19 months have loved their time at this nursery. Both have attended since the age of 11 months. They have both developed significantly during their time here & we believe this has helped them become the confident, happy and sociable children they are.

The facilities at the nursery are excellent. The building itself is purpose built which provides a fantastic area for the children. The children are split into different age categories which we believe better assists in their development and level of learning and play.

The 3 weekly food menu is amazing. Our children eat like kings, often they eat food at nursery that they refuse to eat at home.

The nursery manager is very approachable and friendly, as are all of the nursery staff. Within each room base the children have been assigned a key person, which both children have formed lovely bonds with.
We are sad to be leaving this nursery but a house move forces it.

We would highly recommend this nursery.
