About our Nursery

Busy Bees Pershore (Birlingham) is an Ofsted-rated Outstanding nursery with a capacity of 62, housed in a charming three-story building with base rooms spread over two floors. The nursery employs a dedicated team of 22 staff, including part-time and relief members, and offers a fantastic outdoor space with separate play areas for each age group. While there are no direct community links due to its rural location, school teachers visit to support smooth transitions for children starting school. Situated just outside the picturesque village of Pershore, the nursery is also easily accessible from Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Worcester, though there are no direct bus routes. Staff benefits include a free lunch, free parking, and flexible contracts with a variety of working hours or days available.
