Teddies landing Page. Leapfrog Day Nurseries: The best child day care nursery there is. The history of Busy Bees Child Care. In 1983, three families, all involved in care and education, decided to take matters into their own hands after they were left frustrated by the lack of quality childcare available for their children.
In March 1984, the first Busy Bees nursery, ‘The Rocklands,’ was opened in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Since then, Busy Bees has grown to become the largest provider of childcare in the UK. The original founders are still very much involved in the running of Busy Bees, and the standards of childcare they demanded for their own children back then are still enthusiastically preserved in every facility managed by Busy Bees. Busy Bees have become synonymous with quality care, and adopt a practical child-centred approach, where children are respected as individuals and encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace within a home from home environment.
