Our child loved BusyBees, and was so comfortable there. The staff engage very well with the children. Great communication on app. Great new manager. Chef went above and beyond with presentation seen on app, great varried menu with lots of different crusines. Every single person there really cares for the children.

We very recently left Busy Bees Carrum Downs due to ongoing management issues and a lack of support for the educators who genuinely care about the children. The constant staff turnover has made the centre feel unstable. I witnessed an interaction between an educator and a child that made me very uncomfortable, which reinforced my decision. Most of the educators are doing their absolute best, but they aren’t being supported by higher management. In two years, I can’t recall a single incursion or excursion that either of my children did, yet fees kept increasing while the children received less. We’ve since moved to another local centre where we pay less, they run regular incursions.

You need to be very careful of this centre - VERY DANGEROUS. My daughter went here and thank god we moved interstate. It was lovely when I was there however in the last 6 months there has been many assaults on children by teachers - including my friends son twice , and a chef assaulting the teachers son. Absolutely disgraceful the department of health will hopefully close it down. All my friends have pulled there kids out of here and I believe it’s not long before it’s closed down. Staff leave and management a mess. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU especially MANAGEMENT

Response from the owner 12 Nov 2025

Hi Bianca, We take feedback of this nature from our families very seriously. Unfortunately we cannot find you as a current or previous parent in our guardian database. We encourage you to contact info@busybees.edu.au to discuss anything directly relating to your own child and experience. Best regards, The National Support Team
