About this day nursery

Busy Bunnies Braybrook is one of several nurseries operated by Busy Bunnies in Peterborough and Nottinghamshire. This particular branch is located in Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, operating year-round from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday.

The nursery is committed to placing families and children at the heart of its approach, aiming to provide outstanding learning opportunities within a fun and stimulating environment. The philosophy of "play to learn" is central to their educational framework, reflecting the belief that play is a serious and essential aspect of childhood learning, as famously articulated by Fred Rogers.

The nursery emphasises a home-like environment, ensuring safety and security, and relies on a dedicated team of qualified practitioners to foster a supportive and engaging atmosphere for children. Admissions involve a four-step process: selecting a nursery, booking a tour, completing an application to reserve a spot, and finally, the child's first visit.

Parents also have the option to opt-in for hot meals during funded sessions and can manage their child's progress online through Tapestry. The nursery offers various session types to accommodate different needs, including full days and specific morning or afternoon slots, with clear terms regarding fees, late collection charges, and contract termination.

Our ethos

We are a small chain of nurseries with settings in the Peterborough and Nottinghamshire area. We have a passionate, dedicated and fully qualified team. We take pride in giving children the best possible learning opportunities whilst providing a fun and stimulating environment. “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning, but for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” Fred Rogers
