Nursery staff share best practice through Erasmus

A nursery group's continental connections are blossoming in spite of Brexit with a ‘culturally immersive' childcare exchange.

Busy Bees Early Years Training Academy won its bid for an Erasmus grant which is set to place apprentices and established staff in the Netherlands.

The ‘Small Steps, Big Ideas’ project, includes a basic Dutch language course prior to departure and getting to know their counterparts via a blog.

The 12-month programme will be open to all Busy Bees staff with an allocated number of places reflecting experience and qualification.

Busy Bees childcare group, which runs the UK academy, sees the link an opportunity to share best practice across the continent.

The scheme includes preparation for the trip, language training, a 12-day trip, and post-exchange feedback.
