The nurseries - Brough in East Cumbria, Southport, Evesham, Chatham in Kent and Oldbrook in Milton Keynes - have been chosen to represent the best standards of care across the 129 Busy Bees nurseries.
Settings were judged on their Ofsted inspection results, partnerships with parents and the local community, the ability to support a child's development, and learning and creativity.
The aim of the initiative is to promote a pro-active approach to best practice. During organised visits to the centres of excellence, Busy Bees staff will be encouraged to observe creative displays, free-flow play, learning journals and training. It is hoped that the visiting staff will take back ideas to use in their own settings.
