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.

5 /5

I have to say busy bees have been amazing with my son. The staff at Woking have really taken there time with my son, and his transition of his life have been amazing with busy bees really helping learn. If I have to nit and pick it would be communication can sometimes drop a little it’s hard finding answers out and sometimes staff don’t really know the answers. The room my son is son is quite dark too, it really needs to be inviting sometimes to toddlers and also new parents and I don’t see the vibes. Also more toys and toys and toys need to be there. It seems very minimalistic unless the staff keep it ultra clean you’d think the room should be hectic instead of minimal. These comments though don’t justify though how much Zoe the manager and her team give in services back. I praise you all and would definitely recommend to any new parent.

Lovely nursery with great staff who go above and beyond for the children, their passion and dedication shines through. My daughter was very happy at busy bees and got a great start in life here. Thank you all.
