Bizzy Bees Preschool CIO

Bizzy Bees Pre-School CIO is a home from home environment located in a thriving village.  We pride ourselves on having nurturing staff, being a child lead environment and good parent relationships – many who are on our committee.  We are a free-flow setting and we offer every child an enabling environment in which they can thrive and grow.

We work very closely with the Early Years team located at Bedford Borough Hall, the Child Development Centre in Kempston and have experience in 1:1 care and other additional needs. 

We believe that working in partnership with parents is key to ensuring all children are able to achieve their own personal goals.

We are an all-inclusive setting, where each child’s needs are considered and met wherever possible prior to starting with us. We are able to apply for additional and exceptional needs funding

Parents can contact us direct via email hello@bizzybeespreschool.org, our website www.bizzybeespreschool.org or telephone 01234 767785. Sessions are 9am - 12pm and 12.45pm - 3.45pm.  Bizzy Bees also offer breakfast club with breakfast provided, 8.15am - 9am and a lunch club (bring your own packed lunch) 12pm - 12.45pm. We currently have a healthy waiting list for the next academic year, and we have new starters welcomed throughout the academic year.  We encourage parents to bring their child along for stay and play sessions of approximately 1 hour at the setting prior to starting, in order that they may become familiar with both staff and surroundings.
