Busy Bees Nurseries are celebrating the 2012 Olympics, as 136 nurseries embark on a spectacular 136 day torch-relay across the UK.

This week here at Stoke Gifford we have been taking part in lots of fun activities as part of our 'Golden Mile' launch week. We have been very busy making medals and torches, we have been keeping track of how many metres we have walked around our Golden Mile track and today Mr Busy Bee himself came to do the Golden Mile with us!

Today was our torch handover day and we have passed the torch to Busy Bees Bradley Stoke who will then in turn pass the torch around all the 136 Busy Bees Nurseries in the UK.

As well as encouraging children to engage in physical activity from a young age, children are sponsored to take part in the Busy Bees’ ‘Golden Mile’ challenge to raise funds for The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust, a charity which gives disadvantaged young children the chance to realise their dreams through inspirational guidance from Paralympic, World and Commonwealth champions.
