Our triplets started here just before they turned 2, prior to that I had not been away from them at all so it was a big adjustment (for me more than them!). The Busy Bees team could not have made it easier for us if they tried, they are so accommodating to all our needs, keeping us updated, changing days, casual days, etc. and it is such a positive environment for kids, staff, and parents, I feel excited for the kids to go to kinder because I know they are safe, they love it, and the educators all show genuine care for them and interest in their development :) Read more
