Our Story.

Founded by Parents, for Parents

Busy Bees began in 1983 when co-founder Marg Randles and her family couldn’t find the early learning environment they dreamed of — so they created it themselves, focused on care, creativity, and child-led development.

A Nurturing Home Away from Home

Every Busy Bees centre is built on the belief that children thrive in safe, stimulating environments where their individuality is celebrated and their emotional and developmental needs are met — just like the very first centre over 40 years ago.

A Global Success Story

Families around the world trust us for our values-led care. Busy Bees brings experience from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, North America, and Asia. By sharing global knowledge and resources, we are able to invest more in your child’s care.

“We wanted to give our children the best start in life, which to us meant better, more exciting care, stimulating environments, and lots of opportunities for play, interaction and development, at their own pace and in their own space.

We couldn’t find a nursery that offered everything we wanted.

So, we decided to find it ourselves in 1983.”

Safe, Every Step of the Way

At Busy Bees, safety is built into everything we do, from national policies to daily routines.

Trusted, qualified educators 
All team members hold Working with Children Checks, are first-aid trained (including CPR, asthma, and anaphylaxis), and complete annual child protection training. 

Health and wellbeing first 
We follow national sleep and nutrition guidelines, maintain high hygiene standards, and manage allergies and medical needs with individualised plans. 

Secure environments 
Centres have monitored access, strict sign-in/out procedures, and approved emergency plans with regular drills. 

A culture of safety 
We empower children to speak up, foster safe relationships, and uphold the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
