The largest nursery group in the country, Busy Bees has bought a standalone site, Goldstar Montessori Day Nursery in Enfield (pictured below), and is set to open a brand-new 110-place nursery next spring in Lichfield – where it opened its first ever setting in 1984.

Nitin Jain, managing director of Montessori by Busy Bees, said, ‘We are delighted to welcome Goldstar Montessori Day Nursery to the Busy Bees family. The team has done a wonderful job of growing the nursery over the past 26 years, and we are committed to preserving their vision and values going forward. Their child-initiated approach perfectly aligns with our mission at Busy Bees, and we are looking forward to working with the team to ensure children continue receiving the best possible start in life.’
