Worksop nursery does their bit for Children in Need

Busy Bees youngsters have been doing their bit for charity this week

More than 140 children from Busy Bees Worksop nursery are putting a new beat behind books this November.

They have joined an ambitious nationwide challenge to create more than one million Read and Rave moments in just 30 days - bringing together the joy of reading while raising funds for BBC Children in Need. 

From pages to playlists, the pledge brings together children and colleagues across more than 350 Busy Bees nurseries in the UK.

Together, they will bring books to life through music and movement, transforming traditional storytime into a joyful celebration. 

Chris McCandless, European CEO at Busy Bees, said: “We are incredibly proud to support BBC Children in Need through our Read and Rave pledge. Every child deserves to discover the joy of stories and through our Bee Curious curriculum, we bring that magic to life every day, sparking imaginations, building confidence and nurturing a love of reading. “

The Read and Rave challenge is part of Busy Bees’ nationwide Get the Reading Buzz pledge, an initiative launched earlier this year by the UK’s early years education provider which aims to read over 45 million books with children.
