Here at Busy Bees, we're committed to giving every child the best start in life. Our school readiness programme recognises that each child is unique and ensures they are confident, independent and supported in their transition to school. We're excited to collaborate with experts in the early years industry to support Kindred Squared's new 'Starting Reception' definition - a resource for parents to support their child's journey into Reception. Through our own Bee Curious curriculum, school readiness is embedded into everything we do, helping children develop the skills and knowledge they need for a smooth transition from nursery to school life.

As our celebrations for National Apprenticeship Week come to a close, we are excited to share another success story from Busy Bees. Meet Chloe Russell! 🐝❤️ Chloe began her journey at Busy Bees Chelmsford in October 2014 as an apprentice. After completing her apprenticeship, she went on to earn both her Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications, before stepping into a leadership role as Centre Director. Chloe said: "No two days are ever the same and that’s what I love the most about my job. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the growth and development of all the children in my care as they progress through their nursery journey. I would highly recommend apprenticeships to young people. They offer a fantastic opportunity to gain real-world experience whilst earning and learning at the same time." We are incredibly proud of Chloe's journey and progression with Busy Bees. 👏 To learn more about Chloe's story, please click the link: https://lnkd.in/e_rRKrQ3 #ApprenticeshipUK #Childcare #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2025

It's National Apprenticeship Week! 🤓💛 To celebrate, we're shining a light on our apprentices and sharing stories of their Busy Bees journey. Today, meet Ellie, who joined our Rainham nursery in August 2022 and has since completed her Level 3 Early Years Educator Apprenticeship. Ellie says: “I have always had an interest in working with children so this apprenticeship felt like the perfect way to kick start my career in early years education." “The apprenticeship was a great fit for me as it allowed me to gain a qualification whilst ‘learning on the job’. The course has expanded my knowledge of the sector and I am excited to grow my career with Busy Bees, knowing there are lots of opportunities in the future.” We’re so proud of Ellie and all her achievements! 🐝👏 To learn more about Ellie's inspiring experience, please click the link: https://lnkd.in/emfYt_DT #ApprenticeshipUK #Childcare #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2025

Did you know that our Bee Curious curriculum is the only independently evaluated early years curriculum in the UK? 🐝 Last year, we launched a new curriculum called Bee Curious, which we rolled out across our UK centres. Our curriculum was recently evaluated by The Open University and here are some key points from their assessment... ✔️ It goes beyond the government's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. ✔️ Its principles are based on scientific research. ✔️ It is fully adaptable to each unique child. We are extremely proud of this evaluation from The Open University and would like to thank our fantastic team for their efforts in delivering this curriculum. 🎉 Discover more about Bee Curious here: https://lnkd.in/e6qYTu_9
