The nursery group has installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in 350 of its nurseries across the UK, which it says will benefit over 100,000 people.
The AEDs were supplied by Cardiac Science UK at a cost of £328,000.
The installations mean all Busy Bees’ 354 settings in England, Wales and Scotland are within minutes of an AED, boosting the survival chances of people who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
First aid trainers from Busy Bees’ training arm BB Training will also complete a nationwide roadshow as part of Family Safety Week, which runs from 1-5 April 2019, visiting 43 Busy Bees nurseries to share lifesaving skills with staff and parents and raise awareness of CPR.
