Director

Caitlin Harris

Hi my name is Caitlin and I am the Centre Director here at Busy Bees La Providence.

I have worked in the childcare sector for 6 years. I started working with children when I was 16 in Primary School settings supporting in Reception classes and After School Clubs.

I joined Busy Bees as an Early Years Educator in the Baby Room and worked my way up to become a Centre Director in September 2019. I hold a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and I am currently carrying out the CMI Level 5 Management Course at Highlands College. I also hold a current Paediatric First Aid qualification.

At our nursery we aim to meet the vision of Busy Bees in everything that we do and ensure that all children that attend our setting are provided with the Best Start in Life. We work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure all needs of the child are met. We encourage children to use their curiosity through play and allow free-flow play throughout the nursery. I have a little boy of my own and he also attends the nursery. I couldn't be happier with the quality of care he is given and the relationships he has created with the team.

Curriculum and education

Giving your child the best start in life

Our Bee Curious curriculum is at the heart of everything we do, helping your child grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

Centred around your child's interests and pace, we combine purposeful play with a carefully designed curriculum that fosters curiosity and confidence. Bee Curious guides every moment in our nursery, from caring routines to planned activities, placing the unique child and their key person at the heart of learning. From encouraging independence at mealtimes, to supporting friendships in the playground, to celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm, our curriculum sparks a love of learning from the very beginning.

Using our 40 years of industry leading childcare experience, Bee Curious is a blueprint for playful learning. It is:

Developed by industry-leading experts and using over 40 years of global expertise

Based on the latest child behavioural science research and findings

Developed through collaboration with Busy Bees educators across the world

Led by Gill Jones MBE - Busy Bees Group Chief Quality Officer

Alongside structured learning, we encourage your child to express themselves freely and explore the world around them through creative and outdoor experiences that support every area of development. We do this by:

Using role play and storytelling to strengthen communication

Exploring art, music and movement

Learning outdoors in a safe, stimulating environment

Developing physical coordination and confidence

Our teams nurture your child's curiosity and confidence, preparing them not just for school, but for life. We do this by:

Early reading and writing through phonics, storytelling and mark-making activities

Strong number sense through counting, patterns and problem-solving

Hands-on, purposeful play to encourage critical thinking and curiosity.

Strengthening focus and listening skills with guided group learning sessions.

Understanding childcare funding and nursery fees can feel complicated. Our aim is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible, helping you to find the right options for your family.
