The cook prepares gorgeous nutritional meals and snacks for the kids and I adore that she gets offered such a wide selection of foods at the childcare centre.

September 10, 2024 at 5:13 pmIt is truly lovely, especially lately because my wife is pregnant and she’s struggling a bit.
Apart from that, they are consistently sending regards and wish us all the best. All team members are highly compassionate and consistently asking how my other half is feeling.

The care she has received throughout has been exceptional. The team are inviting and welcoming and consistently have a positive attitude. I would highly suggest this childcare centre.

All the team are highly welcoming and so supportive. They consistently have a smile on their faces and are consistently upbeat and positive. The food they serve sounds incredible. It is an incredible childcare centre. My granddaughter has been attending Busy Bees for a while now and is thriving.

February 19, 2025 at 2:55 amHe is baking every week and enjoys coming home and eating his tasty treat. The girls at the childcare centre supported him exceptionally well when he was potty training. He seems to do a lot more activities here and their online portal is incredible for being able to see photos of what he’s doing during childcare centre. They also have a highly secure entrance in and out of the childcare centre which makes me sense exceptionally secure to leave my son there. Everyone that works there is exceptionally polite and nothing is to much trouble. 5 star childcare centre with out a doubt! Words can’t describe how highly I rate this childcare centre with my son preieviously attending a different childcare centre for a year and then moving to this one he has developed so much since.

March 5, 2025 at 8:49 amMy daughter truly took a liking to all the team, especially one team member in particular. They were highly gentle, never came across stressed or anxious, they consistently had time for my questions and and they consistently looked at supporting my daughter’s development in a way that was akin to her. They were a lot more resilient and patient in potty training her than I was. I sense that due to the team literally being like a home away from home for my daughter, it helped with her immunity and she never got as seriously ill as she had done in previous settings. My daughter absolutely loved the outdoor space, there are so many opportunities for her to climb, balance and develop her physical ability. Thanks. The team truly excelled in updates; feedback at every pick-up was exceptionally thorough and I could mention something to one member of team; which then got distilled to the rest of the team instantaneously, which meant that everyone was on the same page.

March 13, 2025 at 3:19 pmMy daughter loves it so much she skips into childcare centre sometimes, even on a Monday morning. Keep up the excellent work all! Outstanding childcare centre with truly engaging team members.

April 7, 2025 at 3:27 amShe has been exceptionally cheerful and we have been highly pleased with her overall growth and development; she’s consistently cheerful when told it’s time to go to childcare centre.
As with almost any childcare centre/establishment, there are the one-off/minor concerns once in a while but overall we are quite pleased with Busy Bees and would not hesitate using the childcare centre again. My 3-year-old daughter has been attending the childcare centre for a bit over a year now.
Spencer Cross
April 26, 2025 at 1:30 amHe has loved each of the rooms he has been in (he’s now at preschool at this childcare centre).
The team are fantastic, consistently greeting with a smile, explaining how the day has gone and updating on any areas required. A parent app allows updates throughout the day on meal times (along with naps and nappy changes when relevant), which is excellent for knowing how the day has gone! The team also regularly update with photos and observations, and activities we could try at home.
My little one has made so many fantastic friends in his key workers, along with excellent relationships with team across all rooms in the childcare centre. He enjoys attending and regularly talks positively about what he’s been doing.
I have and will continue to suggest Busy Bees to friends and family. My little boy has been going to this childcare centre since he was 10months old.

April 30, 2025 at 7:26 amBusy bees consistently keep me up to date on her development and make me aware of things that have happened during her day. She gets a great variety of food there and never seems to turn away a meal. My daughter has been going to Busy Bees for four months now and she loves it.
Like any new Mum, I found it highly difficult going back to work and leaving her at childcare centre, but the team were so reassuring and attentive not only to my daughter but to me too.
I have truly seen a change in her self‑assurance and she has a excellent relationship with her key worker.

May 16, 2025 at 12:20 amTwo members o team, in particular, have been remarkable and our daughter loves her educators, all the team and the setting.
Thanks to all at Busy Bees St Andrew’s Ridge Day Childcare centre. At first, we were worried our daughter would struggle to settle moving from another childcare centre to this.
Jordan Carter
May 20, 2025 at 7:54 pmWe have two boys there, one in the babies room and one in the toddler room, and they consistently have a excellent day. All the team are exceptional. They’re attentive, encouraging and supportive. They take the time to ask how the boys are first thing in the morning and tell us how they’ve been at the end of the day. The app is excellent and regularly updated throughout the day. Observations are uploaded at the end of the day and it’s lovely for us to see pics of the boys enjoying themselves at childcare centre. Our boys are truly cheerful at Busy Bees, St Andrew’s and we are highly cheerful parents. Busy Bees, St Andrew’s Ridge is a fantastic childcare centre.

June 24, 2025 at 8:37 pmShe attends 3.5 days a week.
My initial worries about her attending a childcare centre setting would be whether she’d make friends and delight in her time. I’m glad to say these worries quickly went away, she has an abundance of friends and is highly quick to share the enjoyable she has had.
I adore the use of an app that allows me to access her day on a regular basis and see the progression in her development (observations etc.). Equally, I can add parts from her time outside of childcare centre too!
Team are welcoming and enthusiastic about their work and often provide great feedback regarding my daughter’s day. There are outstanding facilities (particularly the outside area). A excellent variety of food is available, this is also on a rota which allows for different experiences of differing foods.
The manager has a excellent open-door policy, is frequently seen in and around the childcare centre and is highly cheerful to assist with any enquiries. My kid has been present at this childcare centre from the age of 9 months to now when she is 2 years old.
