What our Families say.

Michelle T

My 2 year old has just started day care here. The staff are amazing, personable, nurturing and caring. My son (who is usually pretty clingy) is adjusting very well and loves the staff and the other children. I also love the open spacious play area. I’m very happy with this day care and highly recommend it.

Becky Nock

An amazing place! My daughter has loved going every day for the past 2 and a half years. I feel very lucky to have found somewhere like this and have always felt supported by everyone there. I feel like she’s had a great start in her life with the choice of sending her to Busy Bees. Thanks everyone!

Karlie Cicero

All of the staff are brilliant, the facilities are great, and there are lots of fun activities for the kids. I don't have any negative feedback! Since starting our daughter at this centre, we have moved an extra 10 minutes away, but we would not move her to a new centre even for convenience because we love how much she enjoys her day care days and how caring the staff are. Highly recommend.

Andrea Polednik

Absolutely amazing centre with outstanding educators. For the first time, my daughter loves her day care and is excited to go. Cannot recommended this centre enough!

Kristy Wetherall

Busy Bees at Coorparoo is a fantastic childcare. My son started going here when he was seven months old and has been attending for nearly two years. I have found the caregivers to be of excellent value and have seen first hand the love they show all the children.

I’m always kept informed of my sons day and receive many photos. My son loves his day care so much, he’s even asks if he can go on the weekends! At pick-up time he never wants to leave, especially if he’s in the huge sandpit. I’ve actually moved houses and live right next door to another childcare but I still drive him to this one because it’s so good. I’ve had another baby now and when the time comes for him to go to childcare I won’t take him anywhere else. Busy Bees at Coorparoo is the only place for us!

Maria Taylor

My daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees. She’s been there for the past 1.5 years and she adores her teachers just as much as they dote on her.

Amelia Rowell

Our daughter has been going here since 8 months old and is now almost 4 years old. There are many educators who have been with her the whole time and she is truly loved and cared for.

Kristel Sy

Highly recommend, especially for new moms like me. This is the only centre that gave a detailed routine as part of the tour. They put my mind at ease knowing that they are really giving their best service.

ALL the staff are always greeting us with a smile and it makes us feel like we are part of this family. My daughter has adjusted easily so I can safely assume that she trusts her educators, and loves the routine and environment that she is in. Parents are always kept up to date through the app and the management is easy to talk to if we have any concerns. The facility is always kept clean. Having an in-house chef/cook and kitchen is definitely a plus knowing food is freshly cooked everyday.
