Across the settings, the website highlights:

Healthy cooked lunches at Braybrook for children staying over lunch

June 2026 at Busy Bunnies – Halfway Through the Year 🌿

June is a natural “checkpoint” in the nursery year. At Busy Bunnies, staff use regular observations and pedagogical discussions to reflect on how children are progressing against the EYFS areas – not just academically, but socially, emotionally and physically.

It’s a good month for parents to:

Look back at your child’s Tapestry entries
Notice changes in confidence, language and independence
Ask your key person what they’re most proud of so far this year

FIFA World Cup Begins ⚽

Big sporting events like the World Cup reflect things we support every day through the EYFS:

National Best Friend Day 👯‍♀️

National Best Friend Day connects directly with Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED) in the EYFS.

Busy Bunnies’ ethos of being Brave, Inspiring, Nurturing and Fun supports children to:

Build first friendships in baby, toddler and pre‑school rooms
Learn how to share, take turns and say “can I play?”
Feel like they belong in their nursery community
Those early friendships are often the first relationships outside of family – and they really matter.

Our nurseries
Three Peterborough settings, all designed as “home away from home” environments for 3 months–5 years (2–5 at Hampton Water).

🌐 https://busybunniesnurseries.co.uk/

👨‍👩‍👧 At Busy Bunnies, parents aren’t on the sidelines – you’re part of the learning team.

Our Parents page explains how we:

hold regular pedagogical discussions as staff to track children’s progress,
share information so you can continue learning at home,
prioritise strong relationships with families as a route to better outcomes for children.
When nursery and home pull in the same direction, children feel more secure – and that’s when they thrive.

🎨 “They just play all day and that’s exactly the point.

Busy Bunnies Nurseries follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and our own “Three I’s” framework: Intention, Implementation, Impact. That means play isn’t a time‑filler – it’s how we deliver the curriculum.

Through play we support:
📘 Communication & Language
💛 Personal, Social & Emotional Development
🏃 Physical Development
🔤 Literacy
🔢 Mathematics
🌍 Understanding the World
🎭 Expressive Arts & Design

Our practitioners plan with clear intentions, set up the right environments, then reflect on impact – so those blocks, stories, songs and role‑play moments are carefully linked to real learning goals.
