What is included in my child’s care?

We provide what is known as ‘All inclusive care’. This means not only do we educate your child in a nurturing environment, our childcare centres provide meals and beverages, sunscreen, hats, nappy creams and kids Aeroguard for your child. All you need to provide is a spare change of clothes and any specialised products your child requires: medications, milk or formula.

How do you handle parent concerns or feedback?

What medical emergency and security measures do you have in place?

We follow strict emergency protocols and will immediately notify you if your child requires medical attention while contacting a doctor/hospital if required.

We have a First Aid Officer on hand every day at every childcare centre who is first aid and CPR certified, and we conduct regular safety training.

Each of our childcare centres has secure entry and exit systems, child-safe facilities, strict security policies and procedures, and trained staff to ensure your child’s safety at all times.

Such a welcoming and friendly service, which has always made me and my child feel at home. The effort, support and love they give my child and myself as a parent each and every day, goes above and beyond my expectations.

A C

I just want to say thank you to all the educators and staff at Busy Bees Bellmere who have supported and cared for my child. The growth I have seen since their start date to now is incredible.

The confidence they have developed on drop off and pick up is so comforting and has eased my mind and soul knowing he is happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring for my child and being apart of his growth. Thank you for also caring for my nephew. I know he loves his daycare and you have been such a big part of his life and growth.

Carmen Lloyd

We chose Busy Bees based on the great word of mouth feedback and online reviews. The Centre Manager is there every morning with a smile on her face, greeting us when we walk through the door.

All the staff actually want to be there and are always approachable and make you feel at ease when dropping off your child. My son gets disappointed on weekends when he doesn't need to go because he has made such a connection with all the staff and children. The communication is second to none, we receive updates, photos and stories regularly. Thanks for being so friendly, available and supportive. It makes such a difference knowing that our son is being cared for explicitly
