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.

Staff are amazing, attentive, friendly and work hard to provide the children the best education and chance to grow into their personalities. The nursery is clean and well maintained and the management team have worked amazingly to bring it around.

My daughter started Busy Bees in 2022 and has since gone to primary school a confident, happy child. My son now goes and he is already growing in confidence and learning great skills. All the staff are caring and Becka has made some great changes to the nursery as a whole. I love all the updates on the new app, especially live updates of naps and meals. It great seeing regular pictures of my son, always doing a variety of different activities and exploring new areas.

Our 10 month old daughter is now 3 weeks into attending Busy Bees in Weston. She has settled in beautifully and has already appeared to become so much more social with people outside the immediate family. We get brilliant updates throughout the day via the app, which are both reassuring and lovely to see what's she's been up to. The team in the baby room have been fantastic and my daughter appears to have already created a lovely bond with them. So far we cannot fault a thing with Busy Bees and look forward to seeing our daughter there even more with them.
