Busy Bees buzzing as they welcome visitors

A nursery in East Kilbride welcomed the community through its doors for an open day for the first time since lockdown was announced.

Busy Bees East Kilbride, on Lymekilns Road, invited the local parents to book an appointment at the weekend.

On the day, visitors were able to explore the indoor and outdoor learning environments, all set up for children to enjoy.

The nursery introduced a number of safety measures in order to make its open day as safe as possible.

Visitors were asked to wear face coverings and maintain a two metre distance wherever possible.

Emma Smith, centre director at Busy Bees East Kilbride, said:“The last few months have really shown the importance of friendship and community spirit, and we were thrilled to be bringing people together once again as we emerge from these very challenging times.

“We remain committed to providing the best start in life for children, no matter the circumstances, so this will also be a fantastic opportunity to show parents what a day at our nursery looks like now.

“We can’t wait to welcome the people of East Kilbride – it’s great to be open again.”

Busy Bees has recently launched its new and improved Recommend a Friend scheme.

Busy Bees parents referring a friend will be rewarded with £150 towards childcare and their friends will receive £150 worth of vouchers when their child joins the nursery.

Specifically designed to support its child-centred approach, Busy Bees East Kilbride promotes the development of creativity, individuality and selfconfidence in each child, and works in partnership with parents.
