At nursery, we work extremely hard to deliver better outcomes for children daily – this is our passion and it’s what gets us out of the bed in the morning. We do what we do because we love it and I can’t think of a more rewarding career than helping children to be the best they can be. This award means so much to us and is testament to the dedication of this staff team!”

Managing Director, Marg Randles, who will present the Recognition of Long Service Award on the evening, said: “We have so many dedicated and passionate people at Busy Bees, and we are all here because we are committed to delivering exceptional childcare in truly inspirational learning environments. Childcare is more than a career, it’s a vocation and a passion that’s built within and we’re lucky enough to work with so many talented and driven individuals who make a difference every day to the lives of the children in our care. Young children deserve inspirational leaders, innovative practitioners, committed chefs and truly dedicated teams to ensure they have the best possible start in life. Every year, the Busy Bees Awards evening is an opportunity to celebrate some of the exceptional moments of 2016 and recognise some of the very best in their field.
