We’ve had an amazing experience with Busy Bees for both our children, have seen such big growth in both children, they never want to leave when I pick them up always saying I want to go back to “school” 🤣 Educators really take on board all children’s needs and great with the daily updates and photos. Since new management the centre feels more welcoming, Donna really cares and caters to each child’s needs. Both of my kids have been non stop talking about their recent musical incursion, they can’t wait for the next session. Great centre always recommend to family and friends.
