Busy Bees at Noarlunga Downs provides every thing and every opportunity for preschoolers to maximise their potential. My kids have loved going there. The staff and educators are like extended family, and I feel happy and confident with their care. The indoor areas and toys/equipment have always been well maintained and inspirational, and the outdoors areas are beautiful.

This place is amazing. I highly recommend sending your child here. The educators are lovely people, I have had no issues with any of them. There has been great communication about my child's care throughout the whole time he has been there, and any time I wanted to talk to someone about anything, I have always received the attention I felt my issue needed.

Erin Ripon

My son has been attending for nearly 3 years and he loves it. He has formed really strong connections with staff in each of the rooms he has been part of and they work hard to make transitions smooth as he progresses. I have found all educators treat the kids with warmth and respect.

Melissa Aldous

Lovely centre. Educators and front office staff are always willing to go above and beyond. Our daughter has some health issues and they are always willing to do whatever for her. Highly recommend Busy Bees!

Amy Staker

It's such a lovely centre — modern, full of natural lighting and always very clean. The staff are so friendly and helpful and are always there to talk to one-on-one about your child. They serve healthy meals and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Mary Brown

The staff are wonderful. The centre manager is warm and friendly. The centre is gorgeous. The gardens are just wonderful. I enrolled straight away. It’s a little out of my way, but well worth me travelling the extra few minutes to and from the centre daily.

Meggie Buckley

Busy Bees is an amazing environment for little ones to grow. The staff have always been so welcoming and loving of my little man, and he loves them all in return. He's developing so well since attending Busy Bees, we couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for much more

Bianca Burian

Such a great childcare centre. All the staff are lovely and inviting, they're always happy to see us. It's always so clean inside. They provide so many great activities and experiences for our little ones. My child loves going so much, if anything I feel guilty on the days they're not at childcare because they always have such a great time! They serve a great variety and quality of food, always smells so good at drop off in the mornings.
