FAQs

At Busy Bees, we provide almost everything that your child may need throughout the day. Most of our Services provide meals and bedding, as well as a Busy Bees hat supplied upon enrolment.

For hygiene reasons, we ask that families supply a name-labelled water bottle, as well as a 1-2 spare changes of clothes as sometimes your child’s learning experiences may get messy! Comfort items, such as a favourite toy or blanket, are also allowed and encouraged to help your child feel comfortable and settled during rest times. Please make sure that any items your child brings to care are clearly labelled with their name.

Our experienced and nurturing Educators have a range of formal qualifications in early childhood education, including current First Aid and CPR training. Depending on their role, our Educators and Service Managers may be diploma or degree qualified to deliver high quality early learning experiences based on the Early Years Learning Framework. Our Kindergarten and School Readiness Programs are delivered by qualified Early Childhood Teachers who develop an educational program that is challenging, insightful, consultative, giving them a head start as they prepare for school.

Our people do an amazing job, but we know that they never stop learning. We are committed to the ongoing growth and development of our Educators and people through ongoing professional development opportunities.

The health, safety and wellbeing of children and staff are our top priority. In line with advice from Chief Health Officers and individual State and Territory Governments, Busy Bees has implemented increased safety measures at our Services for the protection of children and staff. On arrival, we ask that all staff members and visitors to the Service record their temperature using the provided contactless thermometers, and record your visit in the register provided. Any child, staff member or visitor who records a temperature of 37.5 degrees or higher will not be permitted at the Service. We have a range of other measures in place, such as social distancing reminders and regular sanitation of high touch areas. Enhanced measures will be enacted as required. Watch the video below on how we’re staying safe at Busy Bees.

To enrol your child in a Busy Bees Service, we require an immunisation history statement that shows your child’s vaccination status is up to date. We require this upon enrolment, as well as throughout your child’s time at Busy Bees.

Children who cannot be fully vaccinated due to a medical condition or who are on a recognised catch-up schedule will still be able to be enrolled upon presentation of the appropriate form signed by a medical practitioner.
