Public benefits

Public benefit statement In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education to children under school age. The public benefit from Busy Bees is that all children who attend will thrive in a

safe, secure and stimulating environment. The value we place on parents as the primary educators is paramount. We also aim to provide locally accessible, affordable pre-school education to the public living within the local rural community and its surrounding areas. We will remain at the heart of the local community and maintain close links to the local primary school. We also welcome the admission of children of children with special needs and view inclusion as an enriching experience for children, staff and other parents. We also encourage the role of active citizenship within the local community by recruiting, training and supporting volunteers within the organisation.
