Hello, I’m Hannah, and I've had the privilege of nurturing and educating children in Early Education since 2022.

I’m passionate about creating learning environments that reflect each child’s unique personality, abilities and interests. I feel fortunate to guide them on their journey and support their growth as they discover their own identities.

Outside of the centre, I’m a big reader who enjoys getting lost in fantasy books. My favourite animals are goats, and I’m learning to ride dirt bikes.

I can’t wait to welcome you into our Busy Bees family and build a strong connection with your family.

We provide what is known as ‘All inclusive care’.

All you need to provide is a spare change of clothes and any specialised products your child requires: medications, milk or formula.

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.

Exceptional staff and exceptional care.

Busy Bees at Maitland is a beautiful, inviting and educational based service. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my two children. The educators have taken on my children as their own.

They’ve shared beautiful daily stories that are enriched with experiences that promotes their individual developmental milestones. The educators ask every morning how my children have been to follow routine. The educators also make sure that I am informed about what my children have done throughout their day. I also express my ideas, concerns, and goals for my children and my voice as a mum has been heard. The educators are professional, caring and honest with me. As a mum with worries for my children I expect these important factors. Thank you to the absolute incredible team at Busy Bees at Maitland.

I felt the need to share this as our experience has been amazing here. My son hated going to the previous day care because he was not looked after well. Coming to Busy Bees has been such a good experience for my son and for us.
