Busy Bees is a leading, international provider of quality childcare and early years education, developing and caring for more than 75,000 children in 904 centres across the world. Busy Bees was established in 1983 and its ambition is to give children the best start in life. This meant offering nurturing care, stimulating environments, and lots of opportunities for play, interaction, and development, at a child's own pace and in their own space.

It became the UK and Ireland’s largest early years education provider 10 years ago. This provided a platform for Busy Bees to build its international presence and it now operates in 10 countries including the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia, with recent major acquisitions in New Zealand, Jersey, and Italy. 

Busy Bees maintains the highest standards in care and safety, and provides exceptional early years education that exceeds the statutory requirements in all the markets it operates in.  

 In the UK, this commitment to excellence includes the proprietary Unleashing Potential app, exclusively available for Busy Bees educators and parents, NHS-accredited menus, and 97% of its Busy Bees centres have received ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted or equivalent.
