I enjoy my role now working at Busy Bees as a Centre Director I feel so happy and rewarded to see all the children in my care grow and flourish to their best potential. I run a team of expectational educators who strive to give the best start in life to our little ones, I care deeply for staff well-being and parent partnership.

Busy Bees Nursery is absolutely amazing! The staff are so caring, welcoming and supportive, and you can really see how much they care about the children. The nursery is always clean, fun and full of activities that help the children learn and grow confidently. A special mention to Vinnie, the manager, who is incredible at what they do. Vinnie always goes above and beyond, is so approachable and friendly, and makes everyone feel comfortable and valued. Their hard work and dedication really show in how well the nursery is run. I couldn’t recommend Busy Bees Nursery enough – such a lovely environment with an amazing team!

Curriculum and education

Giving your child the best start in life

Our Bee Curious curriculum is at the heart of everything we do, helping your child grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

Centred around your child's interests and pace, we combine purposeful play with a carefully designed curriculum that fosters curiosity and confidence. Bee Curious guides every moment in our nursery, from caring routines to planned activities, placing the unique child and their key person at the heart of learning. 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.

Using our 40 years of industry leading childcare experience, Bee Curious is a blueprint for playful learning. It is:

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

Learning outdoors in a safe, stimulating environment

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.

Understanding childcare funding and nursery fees can feel complicated. Our aim is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible, helping you to find the right options for your family.
