What our Families say.

Maeida Khaledi

Busy Bees at Heritage Parc is a great centre. The staff are amazing and very helpful. I would 100% recommend this centre. Two of my children are attending this centre and they are enjoying it lots. The educators are great as well. Very clean centre and they look after everything. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees at Heritage Parc.

Krystal Warn

My children love going. The educators are amazing with my children and provide meaningful experiences.

Samantha Ross

All the staff at Busy Bees at Heritage Parc are amazing. They truly care for each child. They have so many children at the centre but they know the children by name. It's a wonderful personalised service that makes you feel like you are valued rather then just another child walking through the door.

Michelle Blundell

Busy Bees at Heritage Parc is simply amazing! The facilities are 5 star, with an awesome outdoor play area and food is cooked on-site daily by the chef.

Finally the educators and other staff are exceptional. They treat your child like their own, they are invested in their growth and development, and each day is jam packed with fun educational activities. I have seen how much my daughter has grown in both education and maturity. I could not more highly recommend Busy Bees at Heritage Parc!

Tamara Wynter

My girls have been going to Busy Bees at Heritage Parc since they were both 10 months old with the eldest being nearly 5, the both of them love going to daycare and each form close bonds with their room teachers throughout the year when they transition up to their bigger rooms which shows.

We have had a very positive experience with the school and even so whenever there has been any concerns raised they were addressed appropriately and with compassion each time so we can’t fault with how anything has been dealt with. The girls both have made great friendships within the centre and it has been like a second family for them and being supported by teachers where needed at different times throughout their journeys and we have a lot of appreciation for that. We will be sad when we have to move on to big school and leave the memories that have been shared at busy bees behind.

Malissa Fishburn

I am a mum of 3 with the youngest being 2 and has been at this centre since 6 months of age. I feel their constant move towards improvement is exceptional.

Jessica Morris

We have been attending Busy Bees at Heritage Parc for the past 4 years and both my girls love going to day care. They have created beautiful bonds with their educators as they have progressed through the centre during this time.
