You’ll find Busy Bees at Lane Cove conveniently located on Burns Bay Road, right in the middle of the suburb. Our beautiful Centre is close to restaurants and playgrounds and just minutes away from the many shops on Longueville Road.
This beautiful property was famously known as Mandalay and has housed some of Sydney’s most beautiful events. It has now been converted into the most spectacular Early Learning Service right in the heart of Lane Cove. With seven learning spaces and a small number of children in each, it’s the ideal setting for children to play, learn, grow and discover new things. This heritage site has high ceilings and a beautiful home-like feel to help your child settle in and feel comfortable in our care. Children have access to two large magical outdoor playgrounds with an abundance of trees and a design that preserves the natural heritage of the site.
Busy Bees at Lane Cove is a wonderful place for children to learn and have fun. Each learning space is equipped with various toys and educational resources easily within their reach, and is designed to be a safe and soothing place for young children.

Service Manager
Hi, my name is Ladan and I am the Service Manager at Busy Bees at Lane Cove. I am lucky to have been working with both early years and primary-aged children for the last 13 years. I have a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education.
I come from a family-oriented culture and believe family plays an important role in shaping the lives of children. I have had the opportunity to travel to several countries and experience the similarities and differences in Early Childhood Education and Care throughout the world.
I am always learning more about different cultures, histories and foods around the world. I am passionate about providing a nurturing, child-led learning environment for children, and want our Service to feel like a second home for families.
I am looking forward to working with you and your family!
The teachers are really professional, responsive, reliable, hard-working and lovely.
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.
He will definitely miss Busy Bees when he goes to school next year!
The centre has great programs, a loving and caring environment, and great healthy food and snacks.
They provide lots of different and delicious food for their meals. Our daughter has really developed her social and educational skills by attending. Thanks Busy Bees at Lane Cove!
