Youngsters at a nursery group founded in Lichfield have played their part in celebrating the company’s 30th birthday.
Busy Bees nurseries across the country – including one in Burntwood – enjoyed a tea party and stories as well as joining a bid break the record for the most people dressed as bumble bees at one time.
They are still waiting to find out if they’ve smashed the current record of 2,176.
Busy Bees was founded in Lichfield by six teachers who were frustrated by childcare available for their own children.
Co-founders Marg Randles said: “I can’t think of anything better than to share this occasion with so many of our children – I couldn’t possibly get to all of our nurseries but by all accounts each and every nursery had a wonderful time.
“It was so special to see so many of our old friends and families come back to share some fond memories and delicious tea and cake.
“Never in a million years did we consider that our idea to create a nursery, good enough for our own children, would evolve to this extent.”
