Our childcare in Southern River follows a play-based learning approach where children are given uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention. We believe that play provides opportunities for children to extend their interests and actively engage in their learning through discovery, exploration, investigation and meaningful interactions with peers and educators.
Conveniently located next to Bletchley Park Primary School, our Southern River daycare is a welcoming, supportive and culturally inclusive environment that promotes a sense of belonging. We form strong collaborative partnerships with our families that sees them staying with us from nursery to Kindy. We encourage multi-aged play in our family room and art studio to support the bond between siblings. Children are given the opportunity to extend their learning through the Happy Feet Fitness program on Tuesdays that combines dance, music and the joy of active play (optional paid extra).
Our Transition to School program is led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher who is committed to getting your child set for their next big steps in school. We work in partnership with you to make their transition to school successful. Our quality learning programs are designed to build resilience, vital social skills and independence, while preparing children with all the essentials they need to take their next big steps in school and life.

Service Manager
Hi, my name is Hayley Couch and I’ve been the Service Manager of Busy Bees on Bletchley for the past 7 years.
I have been in Early Childhood Education for 18 years — working in many different roles: Lead Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Manager, Trainer and Assessor, and Service Manager.
I’m proud to lead a team of dedicated Educators, many of which have been working at Busy Bees on Bletchley for many years and have moved into leadership roles achieving amazing professional outcomes. I believe that our team makes our day care centre very special. The consistency of quality care is evident in our approach to building bright futures for the children during our everyday practices.
There is always something new to learn and reflect on when being present with children. Children teach us wonderful things and as they grow, we do too. I enjoy my time with the children and stepping away from the office tasks to be a part of the play and learning that happens each day. I still remember each child’s first day and feel a sense of achievement watching the children graduate with confidence.
In my spare time, I soak up moments with my family. We love to travel around Western Australia in our caravan and spend time by the coast — our happy place. We also enjoy going for scooter rides and coffee dates.
Assistant Service Manager
Hello, my name is Jemma and I am the Assistant Service Manager at Busy Bees on Bletchley.
I have a Diploma in Children’s Services and I have been in the Early Childhood and Care industry for over 10 years.
I enjoy working in the Early Childhood and Care sector and getting to see children everyday learning and growing first hand as they flourish, and also the children teaching and sharing their knowledge with me.
At Busy Bees on Bletchley we aim to provide a supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment that feels like a home away from home for our children and families.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and scooting around the river, or cooking and baking for my family and friends.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Busy Bees Early Learning acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and recognises First Nations peoples’ continued cultural and spiritual connections to land, sea, sky and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
