What our Families say.

Danielle Cruikshank

Caring, supportive and intelligent educators and clean, beautiful facilities. A wonderful place for children to learn. My daughter started recently and instantly loved it and felt comfortable and excited to attend preschool each week.

Matt Berenger

They have helped my little boy come out of his shell so much since he started. He's not super shy any more which is lovely to see.

Leanne Dutton

We have been here since it opened in January 2018. From the minute we viewed the centre the staff made us feel welcome and our son felt comfortable straight away.

Being his first time at day care we were worried about how he would handle it but the staff were amazing at settling him in and now he loves going to "school". They have listened and taken on board our requests and communication is above and beyond.

Our son has thrived in the year he has been attending and we could not be happier. Highly recommend!

Mrs M

The Panania centre is absolutely beautiful. It’s a great environment for the kids. All the teachers are so friendly and informative.

Laurice T

We've been here since it opened and have been nothing but thoroughly impressed by the level of care and professionalism.

Having two children attend, one of which has successfully transitioned to kindy through the help of the amazing educators and pre-kindy program.

The staff are exceptional at delivering care and guidance to our precious boys that has been second to none. I have introduced friends who also have experienced the best quality care and have children thriving through the guidance of the staff and an amazing centre.

They offer incredible services and I feel they cater for all the children’s needs. Could not be happier or more comfortable knowing my son is in the best care and receiving comfort and enjoyment from skilled and delightful educators.

Ahlam Kazali

I’m pleased that I found Busy Bees. The staff are very nice, very welcoming, very kind and understanding.

Steph Volkers

My son attends Busy Bees at Panania and I can not recommend it highly enough. The staff are brilliant and consistent, which was important for my nervous son to see the same educators week in week out.

Ashley Albutros

Busy Bees at Panania has a child and family centred approach that you feel from the moment you step through the door. If it isn’t the friendly greeting you receive, the community pantry/wardrobe will make you feel truly welcome.

My son transitioned to Busy Bees (from another daycare) almost 6 months ago and it has been such a wonderful experience. Today during pick up he didn't want to leave and said he wasn't ready yet!

From the moment you step inside you're greeted by the lovely Centre Manager, she has a wealth of knowledge and no questions ever go unanswered. The educators are super hands on and even when you can see they are occupied they will always make the effort to assist you in making a smooth drop off so you can leave your child comfortably in their hands.

Busy Bees is also very clean and well equipped and it just amazes me how the educators are able to come up with all the awesome activities for the kids and also the school readiness sessions. I can tell my son is really thriving here and I love all the stories he is able to tell me at the end of the day.

Thank you again to all the educators for all your hard work!

Kate Ben

I highly recommend Busy Bees as a childcare center based on my exceptional experience with them. Their dedicated staff, nurturing environment, and focus on child development have made it a fantastic choice for my family.
