From the Busy Bees Day Nursery at Bedford
We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to embody our values every day. Our values are essential convictions that serve as the basis for how we behave ourselves and how we operate.
We deliver great early years education while upholding the highest standards of care and safety.
Give every child a head start on school preparation by providing high-quality childcare and engaging learning opportunities.
Three families who were all involved in child care and education made the decision to take matters into their own hands in 1983 after becoming dissatisfied with the lack of high-quality childcare options for their kids.
The Rocklands, the first Busy Bees nursery, debuted in Lichfield, Staffordshire, in March 1984.
Since then, Busy Bees has expanded to become the UK's largest childcare provider.
The original founders are still very much involved in the day-to-day operations of Busy Bees, and every facility they oversee continues to uphold the high standards of childcare they set for their own kids back in the day.
A practical child-centered approach is used at Busy Bees, which has come to be known for providing high-quality care. Children are treated as unique individuals and are encouraged to learn and grow at their own speed in a setting that feels like home.
Each child's needs are given first priority in each of our daycare facilities, and Busy Bees collaborate to develop programmes, provide resources, and offer exceptional care to make sure that each child's interests, safety, and happiness are at the centre of all we do.
