This month, Busy Bees are once again teaming up with BBC Children in Need to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health.

More than 350 Busy Bees centres will be taking part in mental health-related activities, and will be working together to raise money in support of children across the UK who need mental health services.

At Busy Bees, we believe in giving every child the best start in life. This core value aligns perfectly with our mission to fund essential support that helps children across the UK thrive and reach their full potential.

Last year we were thrilled to be able to raise an incredible £420 in total at our Nursery, and I'm really hoping that we can beat that figure this year!

This years Children in need theme is Challenge yourself to 25. We have members of staff who are swimming 25 lengths of a pool, walking 25 miles, learning to count to 25 in Spanish, and many more! We'd love for you to get involved with your own challenge to 25 too!
