Busy Bees nursery to close as no longer sustainable

Provision
Busy Bees, the largest daycare provider in the UK, is to shut one of its nurseries in Crawley, West Sussex, next month.

A decision to close the setting has been made as the lease is due to expire and having reviewed the financial performance of the nursery, Busy Bees has decided that it is no longer sustainable.

Cheryl Creaser, Busy Bees’ divisional director, said, ‘We have explored a number of options as part of the review process to see if we can make the nursery financially viable and keep it open, but have been left with no alternative but to make this difficult decision. We are deeply saddened and disappointed to not be able to continue offering childcare at Busy Bees Crawley Sutherland House.’
