Busy Bees – Proud Early Years Partner
A MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIP
We’re proud to announce that we’re continuing our partnership with Busy Bees into a second year, continuing to help raise vital funds and support the lives of more children this year. Over 350 Busy Bee Centres will be getting involved in fundraising efforts to help support children in their local communities across the UK.
Busy Bees are Buzzing with Kindness!
From handmade hug stations and kindness cards to seed-planting and smile challenges, children at Busy Bees nurseries across the UK are buzzing with excitement this year as they take part in their very own Great Kindness Swarm – a joyful nationwide campaign created by Busy Bees to inspire 250,000 acts of kindness and raise vital funds for BBC Children in Need.
Across more than 350 nurseries, the UK’s largest early years provider is encouraging its 47,000 children, educators and colleagues to complete thoughtful acts – from sharing toys and helping friends to giving back to their local communities.
The campaign is part of Busy Bees’ ongoing partnership with BBC Children in Need, supporting the charity’s Challenge Yourself to 25 initiatives. The partnership encourages children, families, and staff to make a positive difference, one act at a time.
Our Proud Early Years Partner
Busy Bees stand for giving every child the best start in life, and this belief aligns perfectly with our ambition to fund essential support to help every child across the UK thrive and be the best they can be.
To date, Busy Bees has raised over £110,000 for BBC Children in Need, bringing comfort, opportunity and laughter to children and young people across the UK. This year, the Great Kindness Swarm aims to raise even more to support those who need it most.
We’ve teamed up with them again this for 2025 to help raise even more money, encouraging each of their centres get fundraising and raise life-changing totals.

Your support is so important to us. It means that we can be there for children across the UK – in your local area – helping them to be the best they can be.
