Busy Bees

Call Directions Website

This nursery is located in Melrose but there are Busy Bees nurseries wherever you need them.

You'll find them nestled by universities, tucked close to train stations, attached to hospitals, and snuggled down quiet streets in towns and cities, perfectly placed for drop-offs and pick-ups. Some are based in small, cosy homes, others in office buildings - and we even have one in a converted church. Every nursery is as unique as its children, but whichever you choose you can look forward to exceptional quality childcare, NHS-accredited food menus, enriching curriculum and exciting environments that give your child the best start in life.

Sky’s the limit! 🪂 Louise & Evie from our Busy Bees Coventry Allesley Green took to the skies to raise money for BBC Children in Need 🥰
10,000ft up with plenty of supporters cheering from below. And one VERY nervous jumper! 😂
Louise loved every second… Evie? Not quite so much!🤣
But they absolutely smashed it, raising an incredible £2,400+ so far! 🎉
👏 We’re all SO proud of you both!

And there’s still time to donate… Every penny helps, head to our stories to support 🙌🏻

Did we miss any? ⭐️

These little gold star moments show independence, communication, confidence, resilience and social skills that happen naturally throughout their day, ALL woven into our Bee Curious Curriculum from their very first day with us ❤️

👀 We followed some little hands throughout their day… here’s a little bit of what they got up to…

Painting? Yep.
Rolling? Of course.
Page turning? Obviously.
Having fun? ABSOLUTELY.

And what might look like “just playing”?
👀 It’s actually learning, experimenting, creating, problem-solving and becoming more independent 🥰

In honour of back to school week, we thought it only fair to throw back to some of our first day of school pics (before we were the ones behind the camera 😭) Thank you to all of our parents who made the trips into the loft, it’s worth it we promise 🙋‍♀️

What’s your fondest first day of school memory?

01/09/2026

We’re so proud to see our very own Jenny Shaw live on this morning sharing her expert insight on the ‘invisible skills’ that play such an important role in children’s development…

Confidence, communication, emotional resilience, independence and social skills ❤️

These skills can often be overlooked when the common focus is on academic milestones like reading, writing and maths, but they play such a vital role in helping children navigate school and life way beyond.

That’s why they’re woven throughout our Bee Curious curriculum from a child’s very first day with us - all through the art of play!

School readiness is about more than letters and numbers, it’s about giving them the skills to thrive from those very early years 🥰

How many can you recognise in your little one? ☝️
The skills you can’t always see are often the ones that matter most...

At Busy Bees, we nurture these invisible skills from the earliest years through our Bee Curious Curriculum, helping little ones build foundations that last long beyond nursery. 🐝

Because it’s not just about getting ready for school. It’s about getting ready for life.

And when they’re learning, growing and building the skills they’ll carry with them, you know they’re exactly where they should be. ❤️

📣 Come and see it for yourself during our Open Week, 21st - 25th September. Book a visit at your local Busy Bees nursery via the link in our bio 🐝

It doesn’t get much better than this - we welcomed our very first visit from the mobile library! 🚐

The children had the chance to explore and choose lots of new books for their classrooms, making it a wonderful new experience for everyone at Melrose while celebrating our love of stories.

A huge thank you to Tessa for arranging this fantastic opportunity. We’re so excited that the mobile library will now be visiting us every four weeks!

Our team also joined in the celebrations by dressing up as their favourite book characters - and their outfits definitely wowed us all! 👏

21/01/2026

Did you know that 2026 is the National Year Of Reading? 📖

Our library has always been something we are extremely proud of, however this celebration is aimed at connecting reading with our interests and passions, so we decided to support that through more of an intentional and interactive library. 🥰

Linking interests with reading and play has never been more accessible for our children and staff.

The library display really does put books of all kinds at the centre of our learning, which also aligns beautifully with our Bee Curious curriculum. We can’t wait to see the children and staff use the new and improved library space to enhance learning,

The lending library is still a huge part of the provision and all books in the cube units are available to our parents and children to borrow.
