What our Families say.

Felicity Fawcett

My daughter has been at Busy Bees at O'Connor for almost 18 months and LOVES it. She asks to go even on the weekend or days I am spending with her!

Hopefully that says more about the quality of care than my parenting. There is a wonderful team there with lots of very special Educators who genuinely care about the children and also set up lots of stimulating and engaging activities. The garden space has been recently rejuvenated and it's a lovely big space for the children to play with lots of shade for summer. The manager runs the service excellently. Also, the food must be good as my little one eats meals there that she wouldn't eat at home. I would highly recommend to parents looking for a day care in the area.

Cara Guelfi

My little boy has been at Busy Bees at O’Connor for over 3 years and my daughter for 10 months. We have never had a bad thing to say or report about them.

Natalie Day

Our child comes home so happy and full of beans, which we take only as a sign of a fun filled day!

Cath Grixti

It's a great space for kids to grow with awesome staff / educators. It all comes down to my kid being so happy here.

Jessica Stipanicev

After visiting many day cares, I instantly liked Busy Bees at O’Connor and felt very content in making the decision of leaving my daughter in their care.

The staff are warm and welcoming; the activities are educational and fun; the food is nutritious and yummy; and there is a nice combination of inside rooms and outdoor play areas. My daughter has adapted really well to day care too and I believe this is due to the lovely, attentive, and caring staff. Within a month she was already familiar with the Educators and the environment, and was happily waving bye to me at drop-off. Thank you to Busy Bees at O’Connor for making our first experience with a day care so wonderful! I couldn’t recommend this centre highly enough!

Ben Terroade

Attentive, engaged staff and great learning programs. This smaller facility enables a more inclusive experience for children. Our Son is enjoying his time and showing good developmental progress.

Amazing facility! Amazing educators and management! They're always happy and friendly and the little ones are supported, cared for and nurtured. Our little ones come home happy having had a great day.

Lara Code

I received multiple recommendations for Busy Bees at O'Connor and I couldn't be more pleased with the centre and the incredible staff in both the nursery and toddler rooms.

The Management team have made our family feel very welcome and supported. My 12 month old and 2.5 year old have been attending for over 2 months and they love it. I feel comforted knowing my babies are receiving incredible care and learning opportunities by such beautiful staff. Thank you!

We’ve felt so comfortable with choosing Busy Bees at O’Connor to look after our little one. We’ve had the best experience over the past 10 months, the staff are all so warm and lovely and our little one just loves day care days.
