This is by far one of the best childcare centres in the cove! My experience with Busy Bees is just amazing.

Meme Barakat

Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing my son get excited about going to day care here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way.

The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. I love this place and so does my child. As a single parent I deeply appreciate the staff being nice and caring, the facility is well thought of, rooms separated to keep the ages apart, but structured so that the teachers are able to help each other out. My son is happy and that makes me a happy parent. I am very thankful to the whole team at Busy Bees at Lane Cove.

Wendy Hau

Both my boys go to Busy Bees and the teachers there are so attentive and patient. My 4.5 year says he enjoys going to school daily to learn and play with all his friends.

Hayley Quigley

We have had Mr 4 enrolled since the centre opened and we absolutely love this centre!! We are sad to be leaving to go to school next year.

Sandra Tieger

The educators are wonderful and try to help your child reach their full potential. My child comes home well fed and is excited to show his friends his new toys for show and tell.

Ryan F

The team at Busy Bees at Lane Cove are fantastic. Our 20 month old daughter loves to go to day care and the genuine care displayed from the educators is great to see.

Amanda J

I've experienced a number of local daycares in recent years and have found Busy Bees at Lane Cove is by far the best! My 2 boys have been happy here for the last 18 months.

The educators are professional and genuinely caring. I have been impressed with their organisation and communication. We get sent a weekly program in advance outlining what they are going to learn about and the activities planned. Daily reports are sent with photos so you can see what your child has been doing all day.

The team has created a very positive learning and community culture. Family input and participation is encouraged. When I put an idea in the suggestions box they held a Science Week with a series of fun experiments — my son loved it! They create opportunities to come together and meet other families and celebrate events. They have recently set up a little library for the kids to "borrow" books for their classroom.

Tamy

Absolute 5 star for this place — the educators, managers, their program, care and facilities. We are so grateful for the amazing work that they do.

Lucy McPhedran

I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Lane Cove. My daughter attends 4 days a week and is absolutely loved and well nurtured. The ratios are high and my daughter is never left unattended.

Mandar Vaidya

Busy Bees has been great with the care of our son who attends five days a week! It’s his second home with all the educators showcasing a great level of care, professionalism, engagement and education. Highly recommended.

Tim Sheridan

Our family are very happy with the service Busy Bees provides. The educators have good rapport with the kids. The kids do lots of interactive learning and pick up new skills. Any feedback, or concerns raised, were listened to, acknowledged and acted on. Highly recommend!
