WHO IS BBUFA?

BBUFA is a registered charity established in 1993 as a local group to support childcare providers. Our members include playgroups, pre-schools, day nurseries and parent & toddler groups. We are funded by membership subscriptions and grants, and have service level agreements with Early Years and Childcare and Extended Schools Service and Sure Start Children’s Centres for a range of services.  Since 1993 we have grown substantially and now employ a group of staff including development workers, crèche workers and admin staff. 

BBUFA’s AIMS

“Supporting, developing and advising Early Years settings, Practitioners and Families” 

The aim of our organisation taken directly from our constitution which gives us our charitable status is to “enhance the development and education of children under school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups”.  To enable us as an organisation to reach these aims we employ a ream of dedicated staff in a range of early years services which include the following: 

      ·         Development Work;
·         Activity Groups (Pea Pods and Little Monkeys);
·         Toy Library;
·         Crèche.
