What Families Say

Amazing care and amazing educators. Always welcomed with a smile — it's such a warm, friendly, love-filled centre. My boys are so smitten with everyone here and are always so happy.

Haylen Pattison

Busy Bees on Bletchley is the most amazing day care I could have asked for. My daughter has been going since she was 13 months and is now just over 3. All of the educators and the Manager are fantastic, could not recommend this day care more.

Katherine Tomlinson

My son went here for around 7 months before he started school. Within this short period of time the educators took such great care of my son.

Tanha Mahjabeen

I have an 8 year old and 4 year old, and we have been a part of the Busy Bees on Bletchley family for 7 years.

The centre has always had exception quality staff, who not only care and take their jobs seriously, but love the kids and genuinely take an interest in them.

The rooms are big and spacious, with dedicated play areas per age group. The play equipment is always good quality and replaced when it gets tired. The kitchen facilities and meals provided are better than I do at home. It's a large centre, but with personal touches and we love it. Enough corporate policy to feel safe and controlled, but still warm and relaxed in the right areas.

Amber Gaden

My son loves attending Busy Bees on Bletchley. It’s been amazing watching his confidence grow and hearing all the little stories about what he did during the day with his educators and friends.

Hayley Couch

Love Love Love Bletchley. The staff, centre, premises is wonderful. We had our now 6.5 year old daughter there from 18 months to 4 years and now our 2 year old is there.

Very impressed with the friendly staff who greet you and fuss your child on arrival and upon pick up greet you to advise how your child went through the day.

Photos are displayed with diary updates from the day so you can see your child having fun, keeping busy and interacting well with others. I have dropped in during nap time to be absolutely amazed at how the staff have the toddlers fast asleep napping.

Food is awesome as the chef is fantastic. I also love that some of the staff are the same from when my first child attended. Staff are well spoken, groomed, presented and just wonderful with the kids. It's a great centre with very good communication. Thanks Bletchley team, keep up the great work.

Meg

Fantastic day care. The staff are amazing and very warm and caring to my little girl. The education programs and facilities are great and the variety of food is fantastic.

Yvonne

Amazing daycare that feels like home for our 3 year old son. We were so warmly welcomed, and it has been reassuring to see the same educators day after day.

Ivie Raj

All staff are very friendly and welcoming. Each time we enter the service, it always feels very homely. The educators provide excellent care and attention to every child, and pay particular attention to each child’s likes and interests.

Kylie Wright

My sons have both attended this centre since they were babies and over the years they have had the most amazing educators take care of them. Genuinely lovely, kind and dedicated staff have always been a stand out for us at Busy Bees on Bletchley.

Crystal

I would not trust my children with anyone else, they are always so accommodating, understanding, and friendly. You know you are walking into friends when you walk in here. ❤️

Centre Director – 7+ years of experience

“Making a positive impact on children and families is what keeps me passionate, alongside the chance to support the educators I lead each day.” Originally trained as a pharmacist, I found my passion for early learning after the birth of my daughter and began my journey here in 2019. I enjoy mentoring my team and building a culture that's positive and inclusive. Watching children grow in confidence and independence, and develop a genuine love of learning, is just as rewarding. Building strong relationships with families and continually improving our centre are ongoing passions of mine, and working collaboratively with my team is what leads to the best outcomes for every child. Originally from India, I love exploring new places and experiencing different cultures, and I always make time for family.
