Whether they’re curled up in a cosy book nook, teasing their brain with a puzzle, or raiding the dress-up box for a spot of role play, your little one will always find something fun to do at Busy Bees Morden!

And if they’re the outdoors-y type, they’ll love our spacious garden, which is packed with age-appropriate apparatus for them to explore.

We’re dedicated to helping your little one develop into a confident, independent learner and their key person will pay close attention to their development and give them a little nudge whenever it’s needed.

Director

Catherine Corry

Hi, my name is Catherine and I am the Centre Director at Busy Bees Morden.

I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels happy, secure and encouraged to be themselves. I believe that every child is unique, and I love seeing them develop their own personalities, interests and confidence as they learn and grow.

I am proud to work alongside a dedicated team who put children at the heart of everything they do. Together, we provide a range of exciting opportunities for children to explore, discover and learn through play, while supporting their individual needs and interests.

Building strong relationships with families is also very important to me. I want parents and carers to feel confident that their little ones are receiving the very best care, and I enjoy working in partnership with families to help every child have a happy and positive nursery experience.

Meet the 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.
