What our Families say.

Nadene Vakeel

This day care is an amazing place! Very clean with great staff and very welcoming. My son has been going here for 10 months and I couldn’t ask for a better day care.

Ashleigh Orr

Busy Bees at Oxley has been a wonderful centre from the very first encounter, the staff are so lovely and welcoming to both parents and children.

My two boys have come leaps and bounds since starting at Busy Bees in February this year, the centre feels like home and the communication between the centre and parents is astounding. Highly recommend. Thanks Busy Bees at Oxley for making the transition back to work easier for not just my boys but for myself. Keep up the great work.

Deanna Klouth

From the first day of orientation, it was clear that this day care was a perfect fit for our little one. The exposure to educators is consistent with the same team in there each day.

Our little one is well looked after, is happy, content and learning new things every single day and he loves his time with his educators! I cannot recommend this centre enough. A big thank you to the whole team for making our transition to Busy Bees so easy. After a less than positive experience at another day care centre, the manager at Busy Bees addressed all of our concerns and questions about the transfer and made us feel instantly at ease during our tour.

Ellie Burles

The love and learning my kids experience here makes me super comfortable to be leaving them in very capable hands.

Simone Kuhlmann

We've been loving our experience at Busy Bees at Oxley so far.

There's been challenging times right after coming out of COVID due to staff shortages but the staff at the centre still did their best to make sure the children had an amazing day. Since the new manager started, the centre has improved even more and I feel comfortable leaving my toddler in their care for the day. She absolutely loves going and seeing all her friends and educators as well!

Alexandria Bellani

It's a beautiful centre with amazing staff. My kids love going to day care here, and the staff are always coming up with fun explorations and activities for the children.

Sireesha Vuppala

My 15 month old who is very anxious about meeting new people started at Busy Bees at Oxley last week. I didn't expect her to get settled for at least a month but within a week she formed positive relationships with the educators.

Alissia M

Great welcoming staff. My child has settled in great after not doing so well at a previous centre. Very happy with Busy Bees at Oxley.

Sarah Logan

My girls have been at Busy Bees for a few months now and I honestly could not complain at all. The staff in the rooms are always supportive when I drop them off and always inform me about their days when I pick them up.

I haven’t felt uneasy at any point leaving them with the people there, if anything I have actually felt comfortable doing so. The Service Manager does an incredible job running the centre and makes an effort to make every single person that walks through the front door feel acknowledged and heard. Very happy!

Tailane Silva

I went for a tour a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved the service. As I walked through the rooms the educators were all engaged with the children and there was lots happening around the service which is great to see.

Lakshani Welagedara
