Centre Reviews
In the last 12 months, Service Manager Rachel Milburn has built a team like no other I have seen in any other centre... In the last 12 months, Service Manager Rachel Milburn has built a team like no other I have seen in any other centre we have inspected or visited. Her passion for the children and their families is straight from the heart. She'd do anything for her BB family - her staff, her children & their families. Our daughter has gone from super reserved, to confident & absolutely thriving amongst her peers, being cheered on, gently challenged and celebrated by her educators. Jo, the most wonderful, kind, and talented chef can manage to prepare nutritious meals for our exceptionally picky daughter that we could NEVER replicate let alone convince her to eat. Our daughter has even asked that Jo come to our house to stay with us so she can eat her yummy food there, too. Emily, the kinder teacher, is a ray of sunshine and there is never a dull day. Our 3 year old is learning through play - exactly how it should be! I don't know how Emily comes up with these activities, but there's never a repeated activity so never a chance of boredom! Aurelia, Ginavelle, Tamia, and the team are all incredible and so very loved by the children (and us parents). We consider the beautiful team at Sandringham Busy Bees part of our family as they care for our daughter in such a loving way, they are our village and we wouldn't have them any other way. Read more
Good center, good staff Good center, good staff

We have been very impressed with the new team at Busy Bees Sandringham over the last 4 months. In particular Emily and Tamia provide a warm and welcoming environment for our son and make some of our harder drop offs much easier to manage. We did have some concerns about the small number of children enrolled at the centre but have noticed this means much more one on one time with educators and stronger connections between the children. We’ve also experienced almost no sickness! Emily provides detailed StoryPark updates which outline her thoughtful teaching program and we have really enjoyed seeing the range of learning experiences provided to our son. Staff have provided support around toilet training and are available to discuss our son’s day at pick up time. Hopefully Busy Bees recognise what an asset consistent, high quality staff like Emily, Tamia and Rachel are, and hold on to them! Read more
