19 Mar 2026 Busy Bees Nurseries LimitedBusy Bees: £485,374 in minimum wage arrears owed to 9,056 nursery staff €561,854
The UK Department for Business and Trade publicly named the nursery operator Busy Bees Nurseries Limited in round 23 of the National Minimum Wage Naming Scheme. According to investigations by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the company had paid a total of 9,056 workers less than the statutory minimum wage between April 2017 and October 2022 and had to repay £485,374.05 – on average around £54 per person. According to the ministry, the 389 employers named in this round also received penalties totalling around £12.6 million; the amount per company is not published.
Where many employees earn close to the minimum wage, regularly checking payroll against the applicable minimum rates is a must – small shortfalls per person add up to large arrears and public naming.
