How do I enrol my child at a Busy Bees Centre?

This gives you an opportunity to meet our educators, explore our nurturing environment and understand how we can provide an experience that is best suited to your child. After your tour, you’ll receive an enrolment form to secure a spot or join the waitlist.

Do you offer casual or part-time care?

What is included in my child’s care?

We provide what is known as ‘All inclusive care’. This means not only do we educate your child in a nurturing environment, our childcare centres provide meals and beverages, sunscreen, hats, nappy creams and kids Aeroguard for your child. All you need to provide is a spare change of clothes and any specialised products your child requires: medications, milk or formula.

How do you keep parents updated on their child’s progress?

How do you handle parent concerns or feedback?

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.

Sarah Kruger

I love Busy Bees at Moreton Bay. It's such a friendly, professional and fun team/environment. My daughter loves it and has progressed so much. The staff are really down to earth and easy to talk to. Couldn't be happier!

Hope Jury

Both my children went to Busy Bees at Moreton Bay and I can't speak highly enough of the educators and the director. They are all so kind, caring and really look after the children's best interests. The kindergarten teacher could not have prepared the kids for Prep more than she did. An amazing team of people!!!

Karly Scott

My little ones love this place. I feel really secure leaving them here. The staff take great care and the Director is very welcoming and helpful. I get an update every day of their program and stories about what they have learnt. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.
