From the Bumblebees Playgroup
The Bumblebees pre-school first opened its doors in 1989 and has since undergone two extensions due to overwhelming demand. It is a registered charity that operates as a charitable incorporated organisation. We accept kids between the ages of 2 and 4 and are certified with Ofsted to offer sessions with 26 spots for kids between the ages of 3 and 4 and 8 spots for kids under 2. Our lessons at Bumblebees Pre-school adhere to the early years foundation stage curriculum's (EYFS) guidelines, and all of our activities follow the notion of planning in the moment since we firmly believe that children learn best through play. Young children are present-focused, and we believe that in order to truly impact their learning, practitioners must encourage young learners' next steps when they first exhibit inquiry.
