A nursery business founded in Lichfield has been recognised at a national awards ceremony.
Busy Bees Childcare, which was created in the city more than 30 years ago, was highly commended in the Employer National Apprenticeship Awards.

The company’s training manager, Fay Gibbin, said: “We are proud to be counted among some of the best employers in the UK.
“We place huge importance on growing our own talent, and we firmly believe that our fabulous staff teams have been one of the fundamental contributors to the success of Busy Bees over the past 30 years.
“We’ve seen a number of talented practitioners join the business after leaving school and develop into well-rounded, dedicated and passionate early years educators that provide the children in our nurseries with exemplary care every day, and we will continue to offer exemplary training opportunities to our apprentices.”
