from our Director

Director

Kimberley Miller

Hi, my name is Kimberley Miller and I am the Centre Director at Busy Bees Emersons Green.

I love being part of the early years journey and watching children discover something new for the first time, whether that is making a new friend, mastering a new skill or simply becoming more confident in themselves. For me, nursery should be a place where children can have fun, feel listened to and develop a real love of learning.

I also value the relationships we build with families and believe that open communication makes such a difference to a child's experience. Alongside my team, I work hard to make Busy Bees Emersons Green a place where children and their families feel welcomed, supported and part of our nursery community.

From encouraging independence at mealtimes, to supporting friendships in the playground, to celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm, our curriculum sparks a love of learning from the very beginning.

Developed by industry-leading experts and using over 40 years of global expertise

Based on the latest child behavioural science research and findings

Developed through collaboration with Busy Bees educators across the world

Led by Gill Jones MBE - Busy Bees Group Chief Quality Officer

Alongside structured learning, we encourage your child to express themselves freely and explore the world around them through creative and outdoor experiences that support every area of development. We do this by:

Using role play and storytelling to strengthen communication

Exploring art, music and movement

Developing physical coordination and confidence

Our teams nurture your child's curiosity and confidence, preparing them not just for school, but for life. We do this by:

Early reading and writing through phonics, storytelling and mark-making activities

Strong number sense through counting, patterns and problem-solving

Hands-on, purposeful play to encourage critical thinking and curiosity.

Strengthening focus and listening skills with guided group learning sessions.
