We provide what is known as ‘All inclusive care’.

All you need to provide is a spare change of clothes and any specialised products your child requires: medications, milk or formula.

All three of my children have attended this centre. Every one of the teachers have been amazing. No complaints at all from me.

Love the service, environment and the education my daughter receives. The educators are very attentive to all of the children and so friendly.

Caitlin Robins

Some amazing long-standing staff who not only take care of our kids, but actually educate them. Thank you for taking such good care of my little one for years!

Tracey Robbins

The centre is like a home away from home for my child. She is greeted by staff with warmth and care. The trusting and meaningful relationships she has built with her educators leaves me feeling confident and secure to leave her. When I return she is excited to tell me about her day.

Kathleen Davies

Busy Bees has been a second home to 3 of my children. The staff have worked along side me as we navigate each stage of development and have been very encouraging and helpful.

Michelle Smith

Busy Bees at Port Kennedy is amazing and I would 100% recommend sending your little bees there. I wouldn’t send my little bees anywhere else!

Beautiful small day care centre! Staff really take the time to get to know the children and my two girls have grown so much in confidence and learnt so much.

Colka Rama

Excellent childcare service, very caring and attentive. Our child is very happy and meeting milestones, the service has been very hands on in helping us meet them. Highly recommend.

Jess Tisdale

Very welcoming day care, from the very first day we walked in. My children used to get upset at other centres on drop off, at Busy Bees they are so happy walking in and are welcomed and feel so comfortable.

Lara Watkins

My daughter suffers with separation anxiety, and these people have amazed me with how much they care and love these children like their own. They have shown my child that it’s okay to be without me
