The snow in January made for some challenging days for those of us in the south of England. At Busy Bees, our Hertfordshire and London nurseries struggled but continued to successfully provide a service for two days of unusual weather conditions.

We soon realised we might have children and staff spending the night in the nurseries, so staff began organising refreshments for the children, from babies' bottles to something substantial to keep the older ones going. Beds and cots were made up, but in the end it was mainly the babies who fell asleep as the older children found the experience far too exciting to waste time sleeping.
