Jennifer Bell
Service Manager

Hello, I’m Jennifer and I've had the privilege of nurturing and educating children for the past 20 years, with 13 years as part of our centre.

I'm deeply committed to building strong community and family connections to create the best outcomes for our children. As a parent of my own young children, this is one of my most important values.

We can't wait to welcome you into our Busy Bees family.

FAQs.

How do I enrol my child at a Busy Bees Centre?

The first step is to tour your preferred Busy Bees childcare centre. This gives you an opportunity to meet our educators, explore our nurturing environment and understand how we can provide an experience that is best suited to your child. After your tour, you’ll receive an enrolment form to secure a spot or join the waitlist.

Do you offer casual or part-time care?

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 keep parents updated on their child’s progress?

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.

What our Families say.

Sheena McKenzie

All the educators are friendly, nurturing and attentive. My children have settled in amazingly well and I no longer have the struggles at drop off that we had at our previous childcare out of town. The transition has been effortless and having happy kids extends to a very happy mum.

Brianna Schroder

I’ve now got three kiddies who go there and I absolutely can’t fault them. They are such a lovely bunch of teachers who are so caring for each and everyone. Such a great atmosphere.

Tanyal Smith

Fantastic family friendly environment. I absolutely love the care and attention my son gets when attending this service.

Paige Ruddiman

The staff are amazing and always give 100% with the kids. They always make sure both myself and my kids are happy, and if ever a problem they notify me ASAP to resolve the issue.
