FAQs.

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

The first step is to tour your preferred Busy Bees childcare 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.

Andrew Sutherland

The team does an outstanding job with looking after children. The centre is safe, clean, organised and very well managed. All staff really care about children's well-being and are also very friendly.

Cian Beirne

It has become a little home away from home for our family. Choosing the right care centre was essential for us as we don’t have family here in Australia.

Staff are focused on the children’s learning, but also help them to be the best little person they can be. Staff are also very friendly and happy to help with any advice through child’s development with parents.

My daughter is currently in the junior discovers room. We enjoy receiving daily updates from the app they use to upload pictures and a little story of the day. It’s so nice to see evidence of the learning and to receive some art pieces they create.

Lauren McClymont

Best childcare around! It's so great knowing you're leaving your child with such caring, loving, educational and friendly ladies!

All the staff are amazing and care for the children like their own sending daily photos and stories of your child's day! The center is also amazing with its huge outdoor area and also indoor/outdoor covered area for the children to play, as well as being spotless and clean every single day!

Lisa Gorey

So pleased with the the high quality care and attention given to my 16 month old daughter since she started.

All the educators are so lovely, friendly and genuinely care about my precious girl. She is kept busy and thrives in the beautiful environment. She loves her days at childcare, has settled in so well and has a big smile as soon as we reach the car park. Forever thankful to all the staff who made our childcare transition as smooth as possible.

Lisa Hoult

We have been sending our girls for nearly 6 months. The staff are always so welcoming and warm.

This is the first time we have put our girls into a childcare facility and it’s really nice to hear the feedback that shows our girls are comfortable and being ‘themselves’, when in the care of other people. Our girls are in the 3 year old Kindy room — they love it! We chat about their busy day all the way home. Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of our little ones!

Rohan Hayes

The current staff and teachers are awesome! Highly responsive and organised... Genuinely kind and caring people!

As new parents we wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for and more.

Our 20 month old daughter is being cared for by people that truly care about her and want to see her succeed in life.

We love to hear daily about the things that she is experiencing and learning. We appreciate that the teachers are actually teaching and not just "watching" her and we are comforted by the welcoming environment and warm staff. We appreciate the daily feedback we receive about our daughter's schedule.

We especially enjoy that she is given a variety of developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor activities including storytelling, singing, and multi-sensory fun and we LOVE that she has messy fun with paints, and other materials, because then we don't have to clean it up :-) The teachers interact beautifully with the children ALL day.

Sarah Doyle

We are very happy with the care they provide our two children... The facilities are lovely, and the centre is quiet and peaceful, with lots of one-on-one attention for each child...

Nicole Y

The kinder teacher is exceptional. From the Storypark updates, we could see the program is designed to ensure the children not only learn and develop but also thrive in a nurturing environment.

Peter Doyle

Our daughter has gone from super reserved, to confident & absolutely thriving amongst her peers, being cheered on, gently challenged and celebrated by her educators.

The most wonderful, kind, and talented chef prepares nutritious meals for our exceptionally picky daughter that we could never replicate let alone convince her to eat. Our 3 year old is learning through play - exactly how it should be! The team are all incredible and so very loved by the children (and us parents). We consider the beautiful team at Busy Bees at Sandringham part of our family as they care for our daughter in such a loving way, they are our village and we wouldn't have them any other way.
