About this day nursery

Bizzy Tots Day Nursery, established in 2000, provides high-quality childcare across three Warwickshire locations: Long Itchington, Rugby, and Bilton. Their philosophy centres on fostering curiosity, creativity, and exploration within a nurturing environment.

The nursery encourages children to learn through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and imaginative experiences, drawing inspiration from frameworks like Birth to 5 Matters, The Curiosity Approach, and In-the-Moment Planning. With a team of over 60 dedicated early years professionals, Bizzy Tots aims to create a stimulating atmosphere where children feel confident and excited to discover the world around them.

They emphasise outdoor learning, including forest school activities, to build confidence and connection with nature, and incorporate creative play to develop communication skills and curiosity. The curriculum is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that activities support social, emotional, and cognitive development at each child's own pace.
