Bee Curious Childcare

About this day nursery

Bee Curious Childcare, founded by Caroline Akker, a former Primary School Teacher specialising in Early Years, started as Bee Curious Childminding in June 2021. Following its quick success and an 'Outstanding in All Areas' Ofsted report, it expanded into a full-fledged childcare setting in January 2024.

Now located at Glebe Farm, Bee Curious Childcare is committed to providing a stimulating and nurturing learning environment that encourages curiosity and independent learning. The setting takes pride in its unique approach, incorporating the Curiosity Approach and Forest Schoolethoses, alongside the EYFS and Development Matters frameworks.

It aims to offer a 'home from home' atmosphere, fostering a sense of community among children and their families. The team, composed of qualified teachers and experienced early years practitioners, all hold a minimum CACHE Level 3 in Childcare and are paediatric first aid trained, ensuring a high standard of care and education.

They are dedicated to celebrating each child's individuality and adapting to their specific needs and interests. The nursery offers flexible childcare options, including full-time and part-time places, and can accommodate early drop-offs and late pick-ups by prior arrangement where possible.

With a focus on creating a supportive and engaging space, Bee Curious Childcare strives to maintain the exceptional quality of care that defined its childminding beginnings.
