A worldwide nursery business will go full circle when it opens a new facility in Lichfield.
Busy Bees, which was founded in the city 40 years ago, will open a new flagship facility on Birmingham Road on 26th April.
The date marks the official anniversary of company and will see the unveiling of a site which the company says will be “a blueprint” for all future nurseries.
The building has been designed to include environmentally-friendly features such as solar panels and living walls.
Once opened, it will accommodate 110 children and create 40 new jobs.
Busy Bees founder Marg Randles said:
“We are delighted to be opening this stunning, brand-new Busy Bees nursery, once again providing the care and educational opportunities we wanted for our own children in Lichfield.
“This is a truly special moment for me as my children were some of the first to become part of the Busy Bees family.
“Even though we are now one of the world’s largest childcare providers, our values have remained the same, to provide children with the best start in life, which will be our priority in this beautiful, purpose-built nursery.
“Our team has worked hard to create a nurturing and supportive environment for generations to come.
“We are so excited to welcome people from Lichfield and the surrounding areas to be part of the Busy Bees family.”
