A nursery has announced it is opening a new branch in Buckinghamshire next year. 

Busy Bees announced the opening of a new Montessori nursery in High Wycombe early new year.

Montessori by Busy Bees will open on Boundary Road in Loudwater, High Wycombe, with early-years education for up to 85 babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. It will create up to 25 jobs for professional educators, chefs and housekeepers.

Managing director of Montessori by Busy Bees Nitin Jain said: “We can't wait to open this nursery and offer a home-from-home environment that encourages children to explore, experiment and learn at their own pace.  

“Our nursery has been designed to offer every single child the best start in life, offering peace of mind for parents, knowing their child is in the best place.”

The new nursery will be located in The Mill House, a former water mill. The refurbishment is estimated to be completed by March. 

The nursery will feature indoor and outdoor spaces designed to foster a love of learning and creativity. The Montessori method aims to encourage self-directed learning, exploration and collaborative play.

The environment and sustainability were considered in the design of the building with a nature-inspired theme throughout.

To encourage sustainable travel, there is a cycle rack for staff and parents, electric vehicle charging points for staff and a buggy store for parents who walk to drop off or pick up their children.
