What Families Say.

Both our kids have attended Busy Bees at Fremantle from 10 months old all the way to starting pre-primary. We have been incredibly happy with the service and the facilities. Nothing is too difficult for the staff: they accommodated our kids in cloth nappies and assisted with early potty training for both.

Brianna Bakker

Wonderful staff who are kind and caring. My son now loves day care because of them.

A Y

All 3 of my girls have attended Busy Bees at Fremantle over the past 8 years. I still have my 4 year old and 2 year old there currently and I am pleased to say this centre provides the best quality care for children. They provide an amazing school readiness program for children that are going off to start school.

The Early Childhood Teacher goes above and beyond to prepare the children for school, setting goals for the children and working with each child to accomplish these goals! The outdoor environment is definitely a win! The service provides amazing sustainable opportunities for the children to learn about with a great veggie garden always full of growing veggies, and having 2 chickens roam the yard on a daily basis is a great way for the children to build empathy and also a sense of responsibility. The service has a great family feel — all the educators bring a happy, safe and bubbly vibe the minute you walk in the door and the management are also smiling and up for a good laugh no matter what! If you are looking for care for you child or children this is the best place to have them! They will not disappoint! Thanks Busy Bees at Fremantle!

De Bari Family

I've had both my children come through this centre (before and after it became Busy Bees at Fremantle), one from 4 months old until she was 4.5 years and the other has just started at 12 months old. My son absolutely loves going here.

Danielle Perry

Both our boys have been at Busy Bees since they were babies. They have moved up through each room with such confidence. The staff are friendly and always engaged with the children. We have always been reassured that they are safe and cared for when we go to work each day.

Benjamin Lea

This centre has been a huge support to our family for many years. My daughter was unwell when my son was only 6 months and they looked after him like he was their own helping my husband while I was in the hospital with my daughter. They are genuine, caring people who have the best interests of the kids at heart.

Sinead McCarthy

We love our Busy Bees centre in Fremantle. The management and staff are friendly, attentive, caring and always keep you updated throughout the day through the Storypark app. The food is cooked fresh from scratch on site for each meal.

Duska Logan

Both of my sons have attended this centre and they both have been very happy here. The staff are friendly, caring and accommodating. They provide excellent communication with parents including regular online story updates. This centre also has an amazing outdoor area including nature play and playground areas.

Lisa Hill

Busy Bees at Fremantle certainly has that family feel to it. Great educators and facilities. Highly recommended.

Rob Stewart

We have been using this centre for 4.5 years with our two boys and we and our sons absolutely love it. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The communication is brilliant — we are kept up to date on the progress of our kids and love the pictures that get sent through often.

Sharon Winspear

Love it! We looked at 5/6 day cares in the greater Freo area before deciding on Busy Bees at Fremantle. We have not regretted it. We have had 2 kids here. The staff are actually caring, the facilities are purpose-built (even though it looks like a house from the front), and there is lots of secure outdoor space.

Bethany Smith

This is the most supportive, loving and engaging workplace I’ve ever been a part of. I have loved being a member of this team.

Olivia Taylor

We have had a great experience at Busy Bees at Fremantle. The care, support and organisation have all been excellent, and our son looks forward to heading to day care — feedback in itself! Thanks for all of your continued support team Fremantle!

Kelly Barron

Busy Bees was by far the nicest, cleanest, biggest, purpose built and designed day care inside and out when we started our journey to finding the right place to send our daughter. It's 3.5 years later and both our children attend, and we are so lucky to have Busy Bees at Fremantle!

The staff are incredible and staff retention has been very very good. Many staff have been with our eldest for 3+ years there. The staff go above and beyond in all aspects of care and education, and they cater for our youngest daughter's food intolerances with so much dedication and always with a smile! The meals prepared are always healthy and delicious, and a wide range of cuisines cooked by their amazing kitchen staff. The staff are super kind and friendly, and help the kids on individual goals whether it be learning or self care activities. We love the daily feedback and updates we receive. Would recommend Busy Bees at Fremantle over and over again!

Daisy Morgan

One of the best, warm, loving, caring and educational day care around. I had my daughter here from the age of 6 months, now she’s 3 years old and I can’t imagine her in a different day care. The staff members are like family to me, when I leave her there in the morning I know she will be receiving all the love and attention she needs when I can’t. I totally recommend it.

Sara Linton

Epic playground for the kids and amazing staff. We have been very happy at this centre.

Lou and Dom Watson

Absolutely loved this place!!!! Everyone was amazing and all my children loved everyone and we were all sad we had to leave. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Hollie Best

I could not rate Busy Bees at Fremantle any higher. The staff are lovely and go above and beyond. It's always clean and inviting. I was so worried about sending my toddler to day care, but the girls at Busy Bees made it a seamless experience.

Jessica Vagg

We've had two sons go through the service and we love it. The staff are great and really care.

Stephen Bennison

We were lucky enough to have a spot at Busy Bees at Fremantle. The staff here go above and beyond with the kids. There is a true meaning beyond everything they do. Fantastic work guys!!!!
