Established in 1995, Park Academy Childcare operates eight settings across South Dublin and North Wicklow, providing 700 places.
With the deal, Busy Bees now operates 650 sites globally, caring for more than 55,000 children across the UK, Ireland, Jersey, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Australia, North America, and Italy.

Cheryl Creaser, Europe chief executive at Busy Bees, said, ‘We are constantly striving to deliver on our vision to give more children the best start in life within the UK and overseas. We take great pride in our commitment to providing quality care and education and that’s why there is no better feeling than welcoming another fantastic setting to our Busy Bees family which perfectly aligns with our values.
