My son has been attending Little Bees from the Farm Room through to the Jungle Room, and throughout this whole time our experience has only been positive. Everything about this childcare centre reflects a nurturing, caring, and highly professional environment. The staff show great attention to detail, and it is clear that every child’s wellbeing is their priority. One thing we are especially grateful for is the support we received with toilet training. The staff guided our son so well through this stage, which made a huge difference for us as parents and gave us one less thing to worry about at home. Our son is prone to febrile convulsions when he gets sick, which has always been a major concern for us. At previous childcare centres, we felt that our worries were not taken seriously and that the level of care was not what it should have been. At one centre, our son became sick and was crying constantly, yet nobody checked on him properly. This ended with him having a febrile convulsion and being taken to hospital by ambulance, which was a very frightening experience for our family. Since coming to Little Bees, we have felt completely different. The staff are extremely attentive, caring, and responsible, and they always take our concerns seriously. They go to great lengths to make sure every child is safe, comfortable, and well looked after. We also appreciate how attentive the staff are with daily care. Our son has never had issues like nappy rash here, which shows how closely the children are monitored and cared for. The centre is clearly well staffed, never understaffed, and every educator deserves praise for the effort they put in every day. We love how much time and dedication has gone into creating such a well-run centre. The management is organised, professional, and supportive, which gives us confidence that our son is in a stable environment where he can learn, grow, and develop properly. My wife and I could not be happier with our decision to keep him at Little Bees. The food variety is excellent, our son enjoys the meals, and he even naps better there than he does at home. Thank you Little Bees, and keep up the great work we truly appreciate everything you do for our child and all the children in your care.

Having experienced several large early learning centres for my son, I must say that Little Bees is the best in every aspect , from the environment to the staff, cleanliness is 10/10 and overall management. The level of care and attention put into every detail truly stands out, and everything about this centre deserves to be praised. My son used to cry often and was frequently sick at the previous childcare centres he attended, to the point where I would feel so uncomfortable with the thought of sending him back. Since coming to Little Bees, he feels safe, happy, and comfortable. He has learned so much and continues to develop new skills every day. The staff are exceptional, and their professionalism and training clearly show that this childcare takes the wellbeing and development of every child very seriously. I have thought many times about changing centres because the travel distance is a little far for us, but the positives here outweigh the inconvenience completely. I would not choose another childcare over Little Bees. Another thing that deserves to be praised is their chef and the food selection. The meals are always fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully planned, which gives me peace of mind knowing my son is eating healthy and balanced food every day. Alina, Hank, Catia, Mrs Wu, Miss Yan, Miss Yan, Miss Grace, Miss JC, and all the staff deserve recognition for the amazing work they do in making this centre what it is. Apologies if I have missed anyone, but every staff member we have encountered has been wonderful, caring, and professional. 10/10 I cannot fault this childcare in any way, and I would choose Little Bees over any other without hesitation. Thank you, Little Bees, for giving me the confidence and peace of mind as a parent to leave my child in your care knowing he is safe, happy, and in the best hands.

⭐ Honest Review of This Childcare Centre My son spent several nightmare-like months at this childcare centre. At the beginning, everything seemed wonderful — the principal and teachers appeared friendly, and we truly believed we had made a good choice. Unfortunately, many problems soon appeared, and my child experienced things that no child should go through. ⸻ 1. Long hours without changing diapers Within the first few weeks, I discovered that my son had not had his diaper changed for 7–8 hours on multiple days. The diaper he wore in the morning was exactly the same one he still had on when we picked him up, and his skin had already become red and irritated. I reported this to the principal. He said he would “investigate,” but we never received any formal feedback or apology. Because the centre was close to home, we decided to give it another chance. ⸻ 2. Attempts to communicate were dismissed as “overreacting” Whenever I tried to ask about my son’s day or understand how he was adjusting, the teachers repeatedly told me that I was overreacting or “thinking too much.” They constantly questioned my parenting methods and dismissed my concerns, which made me start doubting myself. After I raised a different opinion during one discussion, my son came home and told me that his teacher barely spoke to him all day. He said he felt sad because he felt ignored. That was the moment I lost trust completely. ⸻ 3. My child’s emotional health became worse I told the principal I wanted to withdraw my son, but I hesitated because I was afraid he might struggle to adapt to a new childcare. However, things only became worse: • He woke up at night crying and having nightmares. • Every morning he screamed and begged not to go. • He once told me a teacher “grabbed his neck.” I discussed this with the principal, who denied it and said the teacher might have touched his neck while helping him get dressed. Because my son was very young, I gave the centre the benefit of the doubt. But his emotional state continued to deteriorate. For him, going to this childcare became something he feared every single day. ⸻ 4. The huge difference after changing childcare Eventually, I made the decision to move him to another centre. I was worried at first, but the difference was unbelievable. My son has now been at his new childcare for almost a year. He is happy every day, excited to go, and loved by his teachers and the principal. During this entire time, there has never been a single negative incident, and no one has ever criticised me for asking about my child. This experience made it clear that the problem was not my son — and definitely not me as a parent — it was the environment. ⸻ 5. For other parents I am writing this review to share our real experience with other families. Your concern for your child is normal. You are not “overreacting.” Choose a childcare that truly cares for children and communicates with families openly and respectfully. At this centre, we experienced: • Lack of professionalism • No accountability • Blaming parents instead of addressing issues • No genuine care or apology when problems occurred Many friends around me also left this centre for similar reasons. If educators cannot take responsibility, communicate honestly, or admit mistakes, families will eventually leave — and they did. ⸻ I truly wish every mother finds a childcare that genuinely loves and cares for their child. 💛

My son has attended Little Bees Childcare Burwood since 8 months old. Since the very first day, he has felt safe, secure and welcomed. He wants to go there every day, even on weekends. Since going, he has learnt so many things. All the teachers welcome my child every morning. We couldn’t be happier. We even invited all our friends to attend as well.

Little Bees is such a warm and loving childcare! The educators are stable, caring, and truly love children. They always go the extra mile to prepare special celebrations for the kids — we recently had a wonderful Father’s Day event that our family really enjoyed. That’s why, even after moving to Eastwood, I still choose to bring my younger son back to Little Bees. We are so grateful for the care and happiness the teachers provide!

Extremely disappointed with this childcare. My child comes home crying almost every day and is clearly unhappy here. I once witnessed a teacher yelling at children — one child was crying very hard, and the teacher told them, “If you keep crying, you’ll go outside.” This is completely unacceptable. What shocked me even more is that when my child greeted the teacher in front of me, the teacher ignored them with a cold attitude. A childcare center should be a safe and caring environment for children, but what I saw here was the opposite — neglect, coldness, and lack of compassion. I strongly warn other parents: do not send your child here.

Little Bees Burwood is hands down one of the best childcare centres we've come across. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean, well-organised, and thoughtfully run everything was. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible — you can tell they truly love what they do and care deeply about the children. If we hadn't moved house, we would have happily stayed all the way through. We toured many other centres, and none of them came close to the standard set by Little Bees. It really stood out from the rest. We're genuinely sad we had to leave. It’s a gem in the area, and we feel so lucky our child had the chance to be part of it. Without a doubt, it's the best childcare centre in Burwood. Highly recommended!

Having enrolled our little one in various childcare settings, we can confidently say that the attention to detail at this centre is truly exceptional. We love receiving the daily updates with photos and videos, which allow us to share in our child's activities and special moments. We're also amazed by the educators' dedication to providing us with near-weekly progress reports, including detailed feedback on how they're supporting him with his settling process and building his confidence through play and other activities. Even though our child has been attending for only five months, he and his classmates have already enjoyed a variety of outings, such as visiting the nearby recycling centre to learn about the bottle recycling process, and participating in an Easter egg hunt with the residents of Burwood Nursing Home. We couldn’t recommend Little Bee Burwood more highly, it’s been such a positive experience for our family!

It is a lovely centre. My daughter attended it when she was 11 months old. She is looking forward to going to school every day, and she is familiar with every teacher. And always have new knowledge to share with me. Thank you so much, Little Bees! I am glad that I chose you!
