Busy Bees Leicester Meridian

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!

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.

We would highly recommend this nursery.

My child loves to play in the home corner and the staff have incorporated this with learning whilst play. The staff have been great in supporting me in potty training my little one. Really helpful and supportive.

My little boy has a great time in toddlers. They had messy activities out on display and the children got a choice what they wanted to make. Friendly staff willing to help children and parents.

The introduction of the home book is a great tool to share what my son has done at home and what he is learning at nursery. It is a great way to work together and ensure the best outcomes for my son. I would highly recommend the foundation class as they go above and beyond to ensure the children in their care are happy and developing to their full potential.

My son has attended this facility since he was 12 months old, he has recently moved into the foundation preschool class which has exceptional learning facilities. I thought the parents evening with an induction to preschool was a wonderful idea, it gave a great insight into what activities my child has at his fingertips. The staff at this nursery show such a deep level of care and concern for my child it makes me feel so comforted in the knowledge that he is safe, having fun and learning. I would not hesitate to use this nursery again in future and I always highly recommend.

My son attended this nursery before going off to school, he participated in so many exciting activities and new learning experiences. Starting school was smooth and he was so ready for this next stage. Staff were always welcoming and supported our son, this excellent start has given him the confidence to be with other children and adults.

I honestly cannot thank the staff at Busy Bees Meridian enough, they are absolutely amazing.

My eldest went to this nursery and now my youngest is there and I would not send him anywhere else.

Busy Bees truly is a home from home environment with the friendliest staff.

After recently going through a life changing event the management team exceeded all expectations with the level of support and assurance they have given me.

Being apart from the most precious gifts in your life can be scary for any parent, but I assure you I know when I leave my little one there I can go to work and not even think about him being okay.

Having my eldest in primary school has really made me appreciate the love, care, and support our children are given at Busy Bees and I wish they were able to offer education past preschool.

Once again I thank the manager and all the staff at Busy Bees Meridian from the bottom of my heart for everything that they have and continue to do.

With regarding food, my daughter always seems to eat seconds so I've made the assumption it's pretty decent.

Our boy moved to this nursery and they made him and I feel very welcome. They made sure he settled in well and kept me informed of everything. The staff are amazing, caring and friendly and all are approachable. The building is bright and colourful and the security is fantastic. There is a big garden outdoor space which is not overlooked by anyone. There is such a variety of toys for the children to play with and there are trips out sometimes which are fantastic. The actual learning side of things is also amazing - they actually want to teach your child things and broaden their knowledge and understanding. The variety of food cooked for them is fantastic and they cater for all needs, and is cooked by professional chefs - my boy always has extra portions as he enjoys the food that much! I have recommended this nursery, and others in the Busy Bees chain, to friends as I have no concerns about my boy's safety, health and wellbeing when he is with them. He is looked after and cared for.

My older daughter has just left nursery (to start school) and my younger daughter is still there. They have both had a lovely experience and have learnt so much especially with eating and table manners. I feel my younger daughter is learning so much and is becoming so confident.

Busy Bees is a great nursery. I have found the staff, particularly the management, have listened to any concerns and used these to further improve the nursery. My child is always engaged in interesting activities at the nursery. (Painting, singing, cooking, arts, crafts etc.) The nursery has assisted with my plans to toilet train, which helped my son come out of nappies at 17 months! The choice of meals is excellent. Being a vegetarian, I am extremely pleased with the options offered and how well my child eats at the nursery. This is a happy with dedicated staff. It would be nice to see the nursery arranging trips for age 1-3 too as currently I don't think this happens, but the fees increase every year for all age groups, which I think is a little unfair.
