More than 240 children across Busy Bees nurseries in Reading are spreading smiles and pledging 250,000 acts of kindness in Busy Bees’ UK-wide initiative.

From handmade hug stations and kindness cards to seed-planting and smile challenges, children at Busy Bees nurseries in Reading are buzzing with excitement this week, as they take part in their very own Great Kindness Swarm – a joyful nationwide campaign created by Busy Bees to inspire 250,000 acts of kindness and raise vital funds for BBC Children in Need.

Across more than 350 nurseries, the UK’s largest early years provider is encouraging its 47,000 children, educators and colleagues to complete six thoughtful acts each – from sharing toys and helping friends to giving back to their local communities.

The campaign is part of Busy Bees’ ongoing partnership with BBC Children in Need, supporting the charity’s Challenge Yourself to 25 initiatives. The partnership encourages children, families, and staff to make a positive difference, one act at a time.
