Working parents who use Busy Bees or Leapfrog Childcare Vouchers to pay for childcare at a Busy Bees nursery can save even more on their childcare costs. Simply by paying for childcare at a participating Busy Bees nursery, you’ll receive an additional 5% discount on the value of your Busy Bees or Leapfrog Childcare Voucher. This can save parents an additional £292* per family, per year.
