Hundreds of children across Leamington nurseries are reading and raving for Children in Need
During November youngsters and staff at Busy Bees Nurseries in the town are aiming to be part of the creation of one million ‘read and rave’ moments - bringing together the joy of reading while raising funds for the BBC’s major fundraising campaign.
More than 220 children across Busy Bees Nurseries in Leamington are putting a new beat behind books this month as they take part in ambitious nationwide Read and Rave challenge for Children in Need.
Over the month they are aiming to be part of the creation of one million ‘read and rave’ moments - bringing together the joy of reading while raising funds for the BBC’s major fundraising campaign.
From pages to playlists, the pledge brings together children and colleagues across more than 350 Busy Bees nurseries in the UK.
Together, they will bring books to life through music and movement, transforming traditional story time into a joyful celebration.
Tess Herbert, chief campaigns & engagement officer at BBC Children in Need, said: “We’re delighted that Busy Bees is bringing together the power of reading, music and play to support BBC Children in Need through this exciting Read and Rave challenge.
“Every child deserves the chance to thrive, and the funds raised through fundraisers like this help make that possible.
“Thanks to the incredible efforts of partners such as Busy Bees, BBC Children in Need is able to support local charities and projects across the UK that provide children and young people with the help they need, when they need it most.
“We’re hugely grateful for their support and can’t wait to see Read and Rave bring books to life this November.”
