Why we built Beehive Tipis
Jess and David on the belief behind Beehive Tipis and the service they built, so every child can learn outdoors, whatever their setting.
“We joined a nursery waiting list at three months pregnant and waited 18 months for a place. We saw a sector full of incredible people, stretched to their limits, with no quick or affordable way to grow. We also saw children spending their days indoors when they could be learning in nature. So we built the solution.”David & Jess , Co-Founders, Beehive Tipis

One simple monthly fee covers everything, from installation to ongoing care — or purchase outright, with the first year’s care included. For nurseries, it can be offset by additional capacity or wraparound revenue. For schools, it elevates outdoor provision, strengthens inspection outcomes, and becomes a genuine differentiator for parents. For every setting, it's an investment in something children and staff feel every single day.
No additional staffing required. Works within your existing ratios. Download our brochure for full details.
