I love Busy Bees at Port Melbourne. This place is fantastic for the children with a very hard working and welcoming team, who really care for the children.

The Service Manager and the team are fantastic. They foster a sense of community at the centre. Our son has been going here for the last 6 months and what I love is that every educator knows his name and says hello.

Holly Pfeiffer

Very friendly and welcoming staff who pay great attention to my daughter to ensure she is having a happy and positive experience.

Satsuki Roe

We can't speak highly enough of Busy Bees at Port Melbourne. Our triplets started here just before they turned 2, prior to that I had not been away from them at all so it was a big adjustment (for me more than them!). The Busy Bees team could not have made it easier
