Busy Bees

More than 37,000 children across over 350 Busy Bees nurseries are joining the ‘Get the Reading Buzz’ pledge – a nationwide initiative launched by Busy Bees, the UK’s leading early years education provider, which aims to read over 45 million books** with children this year.

Busy Bees is on a mission to reclaim storytime as a joyful experience that fosters a love of reading from the very beginning. Families are invited to join in, rediscovering the enjoyment of reading at home together and helping children to reach this momentous milestone.

In response to this decline, Busy Bees nurseries are embedding reading into every part of the nursery day, with children enjoying at least four stories, supported by dedicated story times and book-rich learning environments designed to nurture early literacy skills and a lifelong love of reading. The nurseries are also working closely with parents, providing practical guidance, resources, and book recommendations to help families build consistent reading habits at home.
